Oh. That's a sweet one.

So - in your mind, geology, biology, and physics mean nothing. We should ignore what those fields of study teach us and rely on your opinion about...what?...software?

Now that's funny.

If ANYBODY is ignoring what geology, biology, and physics teach us, it is the Evolutionist. The examples of Evolutionist mispredictions, misinterpretations and outright hoaxes are LEGION.

What never ceases to amaze me is the Evolutionist response to any challenge to his worldview. Almost always, his response is hyperbole, ridicule, ad hominem, but SELDOM does he reply with LOGIC.

Very much like the Liberals and Leftists, interestingly.

Software Engineering is an applied science, as is Electrical Engineering. I was a circuit designer before I was a software engineer. We engineers don’t often invent theories, we apply them and see them working in the real world. We use LOGIC.

It is illogical, tautological, and even SILLY, to devise experiements applying a great deal intelligence and planning in order to prove that no intelligence is necessary to achieve the results of the experiment.

Yet this is what the Evolutionist believes.

If the Evolutionist model is true, we would be able to observe new speciation in nature virtually all the time, without FORCING it by intelligent experiment in the laboratory.

The Evolutionist model predicts new speciation.

However, what we see occuring in nature is NOT new speciation, but EXTINCTION.

Evolutionism tries to have it both ways. It says that the geologic record indicates there was a “Cambrian Explosion” of new life forms at a time when the earth was extremely hostile and was changing rapidly. Too rapidly for such speciation to occur in response to environmental pressures.

Consider. Fossils are created when living things are buried very suddenly in an anaerobic medium under pressure; mud slides, floods, volcanic eruptions, and other catastrophic phenomena. Yet at a time when the most fossils were produced, when the Earth was most violent and subject to sudden environmental change, the Evolutionist wants me to believe that the greatest amount of speciation took place.

At the same time, Evolutionism predicts that speciation takes many thousands of generations over many thousands or millions of years.

In order to address this conundrum, silly theories such as “hopeful monsters” and “puncutated equilibrium” are devised, but they are never proven to be able to occur with or without intelligent direction and purpose in a laboratory.

The Creationist model, on the other hand, predicts extinction as the environment changes, however slowly.

The Creationist model is more consistent with the second law of thermodynamics.

Better minds than mine have explained these things, and you can find many intelligent people with multiple PhDs addressing these things on the creationist side at web sites like www.icr.org

I believe that the reason so many Evolutionists respond to Creationism with such vituperation and ridicule, is that it challenges their assumption that there is no God, that they are their own God, that they make their own rules.

The Theistic Evolutionist has a real problem if he is a Christian, because Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is MEANINGLESS if it does not address both SIN and DEATH. Death is the engine of the Evolutionist’s “natural selection”, nature red with blood in tooth and claw.

You can be an Evolutionist if you want.

But the Creationist model is every bit as valid for consideration, and by my reckoning, even more consistent with the evidence.
