snip: Nothing in the theory of evolution through natural selection is dependent upon magic.
Spirited: If ‘natural selection’ is true, then sheep should have disappeared long ago. Natural selection is not only false, but powerful Cosmic Humanist/postmoderns (occult pantheists)throughout the UN and elsewhere, not only reject natural selection and reason, but materialism. Occult pantheist Cosmic Humanists have gained the upper hand and are even now in the process of claiming Darwin for their own. Toward this goal, they plan to trash the concept of natural selection, redefine Darwin, and demonize all ‘natural selection’ materialists, who Cosmic Humanists blame for the 20th centurys’ genocide. In future, look for Dawkins to either convert to Cosmic Humanism or disappear from sight.
snip: Nothing in nature is irrational. Nature speaks to the glory of God and the universe obeys rational and predictable laws when acted upon by natural forces.
Spirited: If as you claim, nature is ‘rational,’ then the God you speak of is immanent (one with nature). Hence the God you speak of is not the Bibles’ transcendant Creator but liberal theologies pantheist ‘God or Christ consciousness,’ in which case magic thinking is utterly necessary.
Rejection of natural selection, methodological naturalism, and acceptance of occult pantheism is not what is happening in the scientific community.
Nature is rational and predictable, this in no way suggests that I do not have faith in Jesus the Christ or am dependent upon magical thinking.
It is those that suggest that nature needs some sort of helping hand to keep things moving that are engaging in magical thinking.
