As the philosopher Alvin Plantinga recently said: “ … if you exclude the supernatural from science, then if the world or some phenomena within it are supernaturally caused – as most of the world’s people believe – you won’t be able to reach that truth scientifically. Observing methodological naturalism thus hamstrings science by precluding science from reaching what would be an enormously important truth about the world. It might be that, just as a result of this...
Read MoreWOW! Yale Professor says that “Darwin has failed!”
“David Gelernter, a famed Yale University professor, has publicly renounced his belief in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, calling it a “beautiful idea” that has been effectively disproven.” “My argument is with people who dismiss intelligent design without considering, it seems to me — it’s widely dismissed in my world of academia as some sort of theological put up job — it’s an absolutely serious scientific argument,” …Gelernter said an ideological bent has...
Read MoreA Moving Mountain!
Mount Mannen in Norway is collapsing! This is puzzling to secular scientists. Notice how our worldview affects the way we view the evidence: “People tend to regard mountains as more or less permanent fixtures, so they are generally surprised when they undergo rapid changes.11 One big factor in this surprise is the way in which the philosophy of uniformitarianism is deeply interwoven into modern culture. Any discussion of geological features always involves the...
Read MoreNo Transitions for New Creatures!
The experts say there are no transitions for new creatures! “The history of most fossil species includes two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism: 1). Stasis. Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear;…” “… Morphological change is usually limited and directionless. 2). Sudden Appearance. In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by...
Read MoreRemoving the Creator!
“During the time when Darwin’s wife, Emma, stayed faithful to her creation beliefs, “Charles diligently laboured to eliminate every vestige of the Christian faith from his thinking. This was no easy feat, but he applied interminable, determined effort to the task” and succeeded marvelously (p. 126). Clear evidence exists of this worldview change in the Western world. In his autobiography, Darwin wrote that the Christian faith was “manifestly false”, the Bible is “no...
Read MoreHide the Complexity!
“Australia’s taxpayer-funded national broadcaster, the ABC, interviewed Australian academics who tried to counter such damaging thoughts that there could be something wrong with evolution.3However, in stoically ‘holding the fort’, some gave away the game. They admitted the horrendous complexity of how DNA works, which is part of the problem for the neat evolutionary story-telling that students are exposed to at school and university. Some even suggested that the...
Read More“We Need a Better View!”
An evolutionist says they need a better view! “None other than the President of the International Union of Physiological Sciences, Professor Denis Noble (Oxford University), has presented a paper where he set out to show “that all the central assumptions of the Modern Synthesis (often also called Neo-Darwinism) have been disproved.” Noble says he hopes for a new theory of ‘evolution’ that will explain the evidence.2” Read more here:...
Read More“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
How would you respond to this: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” First of all…what makes it extraordinary? “The term ‘extraordinary’ is subjective, and entirely dependent on your starting assumptions.” Second, “insist that a reasonable and fair standard of evidence be applied—the same standards that are used in other areas.” Third, don’t expect “that the skeptic will suddenly ‘see the light’ just because you mention things like early independent...
Read MoreThe Evidence of the Supernatural is Inescapable!!
““The only way to avoid becoming a metaphysician is to say nothing,” wrote the distinguished American philosopher E. A. Burtt nearly a hundred years ago in his classic and frequently republished Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Science. Language, conscience, rationality, will, freedom, meaning, personal identity, and purpose — the distinctively human attributes — have a non-natural, metaphysical character that has been apparent to wise and reflective persons ever...
Read MoreCelebrating Darwin to Acknowledging a Designer!
“German paleontologist Günter Bechly, former curator of the Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History, is a world expert on fossilized dragonflies. He has discovered more than 170 new species, and 11 new genera have been named after him. To prepare for an exhibit celebrating Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, Bechly read intelligent design books—and became an ID proponent.” In response to the time required to make evolution possible, Bechly says: “A mathematician is...
Read MoreDismissing without Digging!
This is what we are dealing with – very simple articles that dismiss the evidence from science without even digging into the arguments. Notice how they say right off the bat: “In fact, dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago,” – this is a statement about the past, which is based on assumptions. It is an assumption not a fact....
Read MoreThe Age of Information Overload and Misinformation??
How do we handle this age of information overload and misinformation?? We need to be discerning!! We need to make sure to keep the gospel and its transformative power as the main thing – above and beyond any other ideologies! And “we can’t promote an ‘us vs. them’ attitude when talking to believers who are not creationists—we should be working to persuade them.” “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you...
