You know, it is funny that men like Einstein and C.S. Lewis (two of the most brilliant minds of the 20th Century) were not supporters of macro-evolution.

Cite on Einstein? Not that it would matter too much, since he wasn't a biologist. C.S. Lewis wasn't even a scientist, so his opinion on the matter counts for even less.

I read a quote from Lewis once where he put it in really simple terms..."If there was nothing in the beginning, without a Creator, there would still be nothing."

Do you think that this is a statement on evolution, or are you just changing the subject?

The very idea that life evolved from non-life has been challenged from the top Physicists, Chemists, and even some biologists (especially DNA scientists).

Life from non-life has nothing whatsoever to do with the theory of evolution.

So, I'd say this writer is a scared liberal--afraid that the weak theory he agrees with is on the way out--it has been that way in science for a while, it's about time the schools catch up!

Given the absymsal ignorance that you're pushing in this post, I'll take someone else's word for it first.

"Do you think that this is a statement on evolution, or are you just changing the subject?"

If creationism is being posed as being an alternate view on the subject, then obviously the subject is on origins -- which is actually what is taught in schools when they talk about evolution.

I do not have time right now to totally get into this argument, but Einstein's thoery of "The Big Bang" in many ways goes totally against evolution.

Lewis is one of the greatest thinkers of our time. No, he was not a biologist, but his thoughts and opinions have been considered among the most inlighting and thoughtful of any in the last century.

And you are absolutely wrong if you think "life from non-life" has nothing to do with macro-evolution. "Life" had to evolve!!! according to Darwin.

If life has no purpose (as evolution suggests) then why do humans spend their lives trying to prove its purpose. Look how many people have posted on this very subject. The matter of "origin of life" has been important to humans for 1000's of years--it is no different today.
