No Christian denies micro-evolution, that there are changes within species. There are dog breeds from Chihuahua to Great Dane, but they’re still dogs. It’s the macro-evolution thing, that dinos morphed into chickens, etc., that has no observable, repeatable scientific basis, no transitional forms, etc. There should be billions upon billions of such transitional forms for goo to you through the zoo to be true, but there’s not a single one that hasn’t been disputed.
In fact, a t-rex bone was recently found out west that was NOT permineralized (fossilized) and still had wet gelatinous heme in its marrow. After 65 million years. Riiiight.
Origins “science” is in reality a misnomer. Evolution purports to be “science,” but in reality is merely faith. Just like Christianity. They try to dress it up in scientific language, but it’s still just faith, as Ruse admitted.
The most “simple” of single-celled organisms is stupendously complex. It’s laughable to believe that complexity could’ve sprung from random processes. The formation of even a single protein via random processes has been likened to a solar system full of blind men all simultaneously solving the Rubik’s Cube. And that “simple” organism requires dozens of proteins, organelles, cytoplasm, a selectively permeable cell membrane and the most complex code in the world: DNA. Such faith!
Like every lefty they just can’t hit the “I believe” button and move on to more important things. And the reality is that they are miserable people who wish to drag everyone down into their swamp. They have to be a killjoy to everyone who aren’t as miserable as they are.
As a Physicist the more I learned at the quantum level, the more I knew that I could not know everything. There were so many areas of specialty in post-doc to degrees that I never imagined before then.
What one notices within the post graduate hard sciences is that there are the 15% who are avowed atheists, 15% who are like me, quasi-neutral but accepting of the possibilities beyond what our simple minds can fathom, and the 70% who are devout Christian/Jews. Not your run of the mill believers but every Saturday/Sunday active synagog/church goers.
When questioned by me about this as a newly minted Ph.D the physics department chair said “I can’t explain everything, I can’t know everything, and in the absence of this ability I have to believe in something larger than myself else I’ll go crazy trying. You have to have some level of peace of mind and acceptance of your place in the cosmos”.
He further explained that as you become more aware of what you don’t know, and that you simply cannot know because you don’t have enough time on earth to learn it, the smaller you begin to feel, into a level of insignificance that is dangerous to your overall mental health. Thus the need to believe in something larger/greater than yourself.
