The idea that all that is evolved out of nothing spontaneously is lunatic. A balanced machine-like world comprised of billions of functioning systems including parallel systems (male and female) is all merely a series of accidents dependent upon chance over millions of years is itself statistically ludicrous.
Read later.
wouldn’t it be interesting if a geologist somewhere discovered a silicon Crystal outcropping with a working silicone Crystal computer network? yeah. evolution. works every time.
Evolution is the only explanation that they have that does away with God. They can’t let go of it until they come up with something else....and they are looking.
As time passes, this theory has failed yet they hold onto it.
I think the more people that atheists can get on board, the more secure they feel in their own unbelief. I remember reading something Peter Hitchens said (his brother was renowned atheist evolutionist Christopher). Peter was like minded with his brother until he had an amazing conversion to God. He said that down deep every atheist fears they are wrong. They wont admit it, but they do.
I think the best method to confront people you know who claim that evolution is fact, is to have them explain in detail how it works. Ask questions. Why are apes still exactly the same today as they were thousands of years ago. Why have only humans advanced materially, such as from huts to skyscrapers? Where are the in between species? There are so many many questions you can ask to get people to think.
Dawkins is such a pompous person.
Him, and others just won’t give up the idea that God doesn’t exist. What is in the life of the mind that has to have a non-existent God, anyway?
George Wald, Nobel laureate, in his famous statement(loosely quoted here) about “given enough time, the improbable becomes possible, and the possible becomes probable” was a statement which carried lots of “weight”...However, he goes on to say that he believes in evolution, even though he realizes it is “scientifically impossible” because he doesn’t believe God exists. These statements are on a website... Just search for “top 25 George Wald quotes” The intellectual arrogance of these men are the stakes which are being driven through their body and souls and are dooming them to a Godless eternity.
I read Dawkins’ Blind Watchmaker 25 yrs ago. Such childish illogic on page after page.
When one considers a wise and omnipotent creator, one has to wonder why the creator took time to create, from nothing, 400,000 species of beetles; 1300 species of bats and 10,000 species of birds?
The same creator, who out of nothing, created a man then a woman and placed them in a beautiful garden and promised them eternal life, but were tempted by a ‘talking snake’ and subsequently, original sin was passed down to this day.
Regarding an ‘ex nihilo ‘creation, I submit that what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
“There are still some people who don’t believe in evolution, in spite of the overwhelming evidence in its favour.
Their proof is to ignore the evidence. It only LOOKS like design, but it isn’t.
THAT IS THEIR PROOF!
Dawkins is a fool.
