Isn't it funny how the most educated among us (scientists etc.) accept evolution and the least educated (Bible-thumpers etc.) accept this "creation science" nonsense? Just food for thought...

My PhD (in history) in from the University of Virginia. I'm not a scientist, but I know how to evaluate logic and weigh evidence; and I have a LOT of problems with evolution. Climb down off your high horse.

Jeepers,

I have met a few pointy-headed acedemics in my life who are , variously, archiologists, geologists, anthropologists, and astronomers, e.g.; I cannot recall one of them being certain in their beliefs that there was not a creator: in fact, several of them were more certain that everything they had observed lead them inescapably. to conclude that there is a devine intellegence in the universe. They accede that we came into existance only one way; and that , no matter the means, creation was miraculous: beyond mathematical possibility.

My own studies into the math that rules probability of identical fingerprints being spontaniously produced in nature (Galton) leads me, in a rounabout way, to a similar conclusion. I've never met a scientist who would agree with those you cite as non-believers; among them have been some of the most devout religionists.

Yet, I know people with Ph.D.s who have profound religious views and believe in creation, and, utterly ignorant people who ardently support evolution. Your generalization is absurd.

You would be suprised at the number of scientists that believe in God, or at least an intelligent designer that started things. While you seem intent on deriding intelligent design as a superstition or such, it is strict Darwinistic evolution that has the rabid fanatics and die hard supporters who will go to great lengths to squash any and every bit of oposition to their dogmas. THEY are the Aquinas/ Aristotle enforcers, the Inquistors of our day. If you do not believe me, read a bit of the Darwin defender's literature, their public televison programs- they bother relatively little with presenting evidence for their case, instead they continualy bash their opponents, many of which are increasingly scientists and not Christian. They refuse to delve into new information, instead attempting to fumble aroudn with it and explain it with laughable arguments that are held because many scientists refuse to consider any other options than what they were taught.

Oh, and if yuo insist that "Bible thumpers" are all ignorant unedeucated fools, I would suggest you look into the many Christian scinetists of the past who laid the groundwork for the marvels of science we have today. You would likely be suprised at he number.

And I might add, as you are so insistent upon enforcing Darwanism that you look into some outspoken evolution defenders political views. You will not infrequently find ideas of reducing the parasitic human populations, of instituting programs to "save the earth", and other extreme leftist mess. It is not universal to be sure, but it's common and makes the bed pretty durn uncomortable I imagine.

The man who received a nobel prize for discovering the Big Bang theory, Arno Penzias, is an Orthodox Jew.

I take it that you're counting yourself as one of the elite? Come on down to my church here in Oak Ridge. I'll introduce you to some of the highly educated Christians we have here in Oak Ridge.

So, let's break this down...
If the universe had a beginning, then it had to have a Beginner (prime mover). The evidence leaves us with the following two options...

I believe that Something created something out of nothing.

You believe that nothing created something out of nothing!

Which view is more reasonable?

Question...If there is no God, why is there something rather than nothing at all?

Ever heard of some old geezer named Einstein? Had something to do with the speed of light and relativity?
Just food for thought...

You assume much but know little.
