Thank you for the post. I have always said that evolution essentially removes the obligation of man to worship God. With no obligation to God, anything is possible, ergo you see the results in current culture.
What is a “Darwinist?”
Is that like a “Einsteinist?”
If the truth is on your side, why do you resort to such insults?
Amazing how the Enemy can take the first few chapters of Genesis and turn it into a bone of contention between believers.
Let’s be very clear: this Stephen Meyer is *NOT* a biologist. His PhD is in physics.
I guess if I could come up with some ludicrous claim about physics, I could write books on it and make lots of money, too. After all, I have a PhD after my name—and it’s in science—so that makes me perfectly qualified to write about physics.
Whatever the hype about this book, I don’t expect most scientists are even going to notice it. We have our hands full with, you know, actual science.

By traditional definition of the word "science", the scientific enterprise requires a commitment to "methodological naturalism" meaning: natural explanations for natural processes.
Science cannot and is not intended to deal with spiritual or metaphysical matters.
Even if, for example, "G*d" is the best answer for a question, then science must throw up its hands and say, "we don't know" or ascribe it to some process of random chance.
That's the traditional nature of science.
And the results are exactly as the article describes -- when methodological naturalism leads to philosophical naturalism, then the soul, in effect, commits suicide and humans become, well, less than human.
Perhaps the analogy of fire will help -- when humans are in charge of it, fire (or science) is highly useful for heating and cooking, etc.
When fire takes charge, it can instantly kill us.
That's the difference between methodological and philosophical naturalism.
I’m not convinced Darwinism and Spiritualism are incompatible.
I am sure that strict materialism is a dead end, though. Materialism seems to describe only part of all reality.
Bttt.
Political evolutionists, by ignorance or intent, use only a portion of the title of Charles Darwin’s book. The full title is “The Origin of Species and The Superiority of the Races.” Whoops...that doesn’t fit the liberal agenda.
No they do not! Not "all" of them!
Evolutionists and chrstian creationists apparently have one thing in common: they completely forget about the existence of Judaism, which gave Genesis to the world in the first place. What ignorance and/or arrogance!
