“Evolutionary ideas like string theory start from a worldview framework that there is no God.”

—That is one of the funniest things I have ever read!

“The big bang, and string theory which is being used to support it, are ideological attempts to explain away the appearance of design in the universe (no first cause etc.) and therefore explain the universe without God.”

—I’ve never seen anyone try to use string theory to support the Big Bang. Sure, string theorists attempt to EXPLAIN the Big Bang using their theory – just like they try to use the theory to explain particles, matter, energy, gravity, etc – but scientists often like to try to apply their theory to stuff – they’re funny that way. Applying a theory in this way is also how one comes up with tests for a theory (a common charge against string theory is how hard it is to test, and even that it’s untestable – and so they are keen to find ways to test the theory. Perhaps a collision of branes can cause a Big Bang; if so, what implications would that have on the WMAP pics? Might the theory be tested this way?)

How is it anti-God or anti-design to attempt to tie together quantum physics and general relativity into a single consistent mathematical theory/model? That’s all string theory is. That’s about as anti-God/anti-design as Newton explaining the moon’s orbit and falling apples into a single theory.

“But equally the evolutionist and indeed the string theory advocate would also say that it is unscientific to investigate the universe with the assumption that God is Creator.”

—Considering that so many do, that’s an odd comment. He should really do about 30 seconds of research before writing an article.

According Leonard Susskind, widely considered by string theorists to be the father of string theory, without string theory “...we would be left with no other rational explanation for the illusion of a designed universe.”

Just like the Darwinists insist that Biology is the study of complicated things that give the illusion of having been designed for a purpose, or the modern big bangers claim that our universe gives off the illusion of having been designed for a purpose, or the string theorists who attempt to come up with a mathematical theory of everything to escape design and purpose, it’s all just an attempt by the enemies of God to banish Him from His own creation. This has been admitted by Darwinists such as Dawkins, Hawking et al with respect to the big bang, and Susskind has let the cat out of the bag with respect to string theory. And yet, somehow these practitioners of materialist religion get to call their nature worship “science.”

Didn’t you know that step #1 in all science reasearch and theorizing is to first consider whether or not God exists?
