Sigh......
....no.
The Fundamental Dawinists are going to go crazy over this.
Then there is the DNA REPLICATION process which involves reading one strand and turning into two identical strands, all at the speed of a JET ENGINE.
I bet they don’t.
Soaking in the technological benefits of the scientific method while refusing to give it credence is churlish. Would Jesus be so obtuse?
To be a materialist one must be able to believe that:
-something came from nothing
-natural laws, symmetry, order came from primordial chaos
-organization came from primordial randomness
-consciousness, free will, reason came from matter
-life came from inanimate chemicals
-anthropic coincidences came from accidents
-man came from pond scum
-human knowledge and values came from a universe without absolutes and objectivity
Jesus might coolly list out a group of notable scientists and then ask “Well, who created them?”
The universe has more back of it than matter and energy as we know it.
A main difficulty with believing this is that it is metaphysically dangerous to those who think they’ve got tabs on the universe.
We do run into debate when it comes to the manner in which books like the bible describe certain events in the universe, versus the manner in which these events appear to people now. This seems to me to be one of the smaller questions about faith and science, as God can view and report things from multiple perspectives, including those not directly visible to man.
Darwinian evolution simply appears to be far too feeble an engine to generate what some have credited it with. And it would not matter whether it had thousands or billions of years to try. It would still fail.
It’s a belief. Believe what you want to. Leave others in peace to do the same. Simple.
It’s not wrong to talk about beliefs.
That was fun to read.
Thanks for posting!
Great article, thank you. The design in various aspects of Mycology would blow your mind, as in other disciplines. It’s not so much atheists don’t see it, they refuse to accept it, forcing them to make a decision on the consequences of a real Creator.
....he puzzles. How can molecules write code?
Well, you see, billions of years ago, those molecules wrote fake news for Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post, but then they got downsized, so they had to learn to code!
I have many friends who are afraid to believe in God. Their main concern seems to be they do not want judgement on their lives. To a person they are using illegal drugs, are promiscuous, lie as a way of dealing with coworkers and friends, or are engaged in some other activity they know to be unhealthy. They satisfy their conscience by not allowing anyone the privilege of passing judgement on their lives.
Evolution is not scientific, it is cultish.
It’s funny how science makes the internet and landing on Mars possible, but when it bumps up against ancient superstitions, we’re expected to abandon biology, geology, and more.
Don’t mind sparklite2. sparklite2’s just a contrarian.
Yes, I am, arguably.
It is your tagline. :-)
