If they were particle physicists or geochemists or electrical engineers, it might not be so noticeable. <br /><br />On the other hand, it was almost inevitable that it would be evolutionary biologists striking back simply because, whether you are talking about creationists or ID supporters like Behe, Dembski and Johnson, evolution is the focus. The entire purpose behind the Discovery Institute, it seems, is not to show the glory of God through creation but to simply try as hard as they can to poke holes in evolution. They don't give a rip about geology or astronomy or quantum physics. Those are okay but, by God, we must get rid of that evil evolution!!Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-56011159676037664162009-11-30T10:03:19.956-05:002009-11-30T10:03:19.956-05:00Frankly speaking, it is not stunning if one consid...Frankly speaking, it is not stunning if one considers that all campaigns of the new atheists entirely rely on Darwinism for proving their point of view : since Darwin, we know there is no God, no life after death, no ultimate purpose...<br /><br />It is true that Darwinism allows us to explain living things without God, but it does not necessarily preclude us from believing that God directed the process by influencing chance with respect to the environmental modifications and mutation. <br />Clearly, I can not prove it, but it has also not be disproved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-81269148550199472712009-11-19T08:37:36.293-05:002009-11-19T08:37:36.293-05:00I think you are probably correct about the "f...I think you are probably correct about the "first importance" part. What I find frustrating is the number of Christians that think that the "days of creation/evolution" issue is a salvation issue. Those are the people I want to reach.Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-68593645107722672812009-11-19T00:10:02.020-05:002009-11-19T00:10:02.020-05:00The disciples of Christ had no "academic"...The disciples of Christ had no "academic" background and yet they turned the world upsidedown. Perhaps, we are looking at things differently or dealing with issues that are not of first importance. Just maybe, our "too-much learning" has diverted us from what are essential. Are we not riding two canoes on the two rivers of science and religion and now leaning more on the first since the latter can no longer make us feel so, well, learned or wise?Vince Ragayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103805600790208755noreply@blogger.com
