About that big bang "settled science" ...

[ScottL]

This is the way I see it and I don’t mean to offend those of faith.

Let me start off by saying that I don’t know if there is a God.

If there is, he/she/it is not the God we were taught by our parents, who learned from their parents, who learned from their parents, see where I‘m going with this.

The Bible is the best selling fiction novel ever written and translated and rewritten and interpreted and reinterpreted by many, many people, see where I‘m going with this.

As for evolution vs. intelligent design I can only say that evolution is proven science. Now given that some scientists say that humans use only 10% of our brain while others say 100%, whatever the number we are woefully ignorant.

I have a theory and I want to emphasize it is a theory not proven by science but there are some strong indicators that it may be true. I believe we are a giant ant farm planted on this planet by species from another universe either solely for amusement or as some sort of macabre experiment.

Which leads us back to the original topic of evolution vs. intelligent design. Where did the species from another universe come from?

My answer is, I don’t have a clue and neither does anyone else. I guess we’ll have ask them if they in fact exist.

Now you see where I’m going with this.

I'm going to post this again when we get to page 18

What is you theory on where the code that is the operating system software inside DNA came from? You really believe it came from nothing?

Information doesn't appear out of nothing. Information doesn't "evolve" from nothing. The human eye didn't evolve, sorry to burst your bubble.

You expect me answer question people spend their entire lives studying and still do not have the answers? There is lots of literature and speculation on where it came from and how it evolved? Is it right? I don't know but is surely wasn't just God came down and said. "Let there be DNA." then suddenly there was DNA. there are so many components to DNA that those would have to be designed first.

Back to the point, nobody can tell me who or what created the intelligence to make the design. Science can tell you that you just can't say words for something to appear and then it magically does. So eventually wouldn't you have to get to a random act, a trickle down about how this all started?

Evolution, as in universal common descent is FARRRR from proven science. If one is up to date on the latest research, and peer-reviewed
papers, you'll find that the more scientists find out, the more that neo-Darwinism is not a valid theory.

I predict that neo-Darwinism will crumble over the next 10-20 years, the evidence just is not there.

You begging the question, i.e. assuming what you are arguing for. Natural materialism says that all that exists is what we can see, those of us that believe in a spiritual
world, believe that world view to be flawed to it's core.

I’m not going to argue with you because I simply don’t care.

see this is a classic example of using peer reviewed research at your convenience, you accept herw
but not when it comes to other hotly debated issues.

That is strange. I agree with dave....which of course is making me rethink the issue

Yes, it's called using one's brain and having original thoughts that one can back up by their own personal research and knowledge.

I don't see it but more power to you though.

I'm scared also, lol. I always figured him for some alien invasion type loon.

 

[akphidelt]

The thing that really irritates me about the Bible is there is absolutely nothing in it that can't be explained by the knowledge they had at that time. I would think the Creator of the Universe and His Son would have significantly greater knowledge about the Universe. And they make attempts to evolve the language of it to current times, but there is just too much you have to change to make it seem anything more than a book written by normal dudes from the time. Still have hope and faith, but there are a lot of questions. And if you are scared of scientists finding answers then you are just hiding from the truth.

It's like my dad would always say....everybody, no matter how screwed up they are, has some good in them.

Good for your dad trying to encourage you.

The story of Jesus if my memory serves me correctly was not recorded by anyone until about 200 years after he lived. He didn't document events himself. That's why there are so many different versions.

One day in Synagogue:

Scott: Dad, I think this is all a bunch of Bullshit.

Dad: You think I never had my doubts? Now daven (pray).

Not even close to being true. The New Testament books were all written befor 70 AD at which time the Romans sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple - forever changing Judaiism.
