In a roomful of evolutionists
touting the merits of Darwinism with photos, fancy words, quotes from famous
scientists and recognizable names such as Smithsonian, National Geographic,
Scientific American, Popular Science and PBS . . . evolution seems pretty believable. Then I
take a walk in the woods and once again the whole theory seems to ignore
everything I see, hear and process in my own thinking. Nature itself seems to
be disagreeing.
What does nature have to say about
all of this swirling controversy around evolution, intelligent design and
creationism. These are a war of words and ideologies immersed in accusations
about motives and agendas. It feels more like a political campaign vying for
votes than a scientific debate. This is the object of my concern, why don’t we
listen to nature? After all, isn’t the subject the origins of nature? If nature
is the subject shouldn’t we consult nature for evidence instead of quoting
people and laws? Everyone should look at the trees, the flowers, outer space,
DNA, our immune system, the instincts of animals, the interdependence of
systems within species and they with their environment. This is what I talk
most about in "Nature Never Stops Talking-The Wonderful Ingenuity of
Nature". This is where I believe all discussions should center – the
object of the discussion – nature.
To discuss how many scientists
believe it and how long it has been taught is drifting. We Also unrelated are
flying accusations that if you adhere to one theory it is not science but
religion and argue about church and state issues.
Those agreeing with Intelligent
Design are accused of having certain motives. Oh my goodness, motives? We
aren’t just reading people’s minds, we are seeing the reason for their thoughts?
Now evolutionists are getting mystical. Censorship, religion, name-calling,
accusations, reading minds and motives . . . What are we talking about again?
Oh yeah, nature.
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD FILTER
Here is my point: We still haven’t
really examined whether evolution or Intelligent Design have been adequately
scrutinized through the scientific method filter. I can barely see the primary
subject anymore.
Well I know for a fact that science
is not the teacher of nature but the student. The best and brightest of all our
scientists have the technology of nature in their grasp but the complex genius
of 99.99% of it escapes them anyway. We all agree on this. If nature is so
infinitely smarter than man why would anyone, especially scientists, say there
is no intelligence greater than man? We are surrounded and engulfed with
evidence to the contrary every second of every day.
Want some examples? My book is
filled with them but your world has waaaay more.
Just a little hinting with one
example; DNA dictates the design but who dictates DNA? Who decided bones
weren’t good enough and they should have marrow and blood with red blood cells
and white blood cells and a heart with an electrical impulse utilizing lungs to
provide oxygen that plants provide in abundance when they do the 70-stage
process of photosynthesis using the sun and water provided by rain clouds blown
by wind moving ocean-evaporated and de-salted water?
IGNORING EVIDENCE IN ORDER TO ARGUE
Yeah, everybody stop talking and
arguing. Let’s look at nature. Let’s listen to nature. Let nature give evidence
on it own behalf. We have eyes [thanks to nature] we have brains [thanks to
nature] we can choose [how do communicate to DNA to begin giving freedom of
choice to a species?] let’s get to the heart of the subject - nature.
UNQUALIFIED TO ASK QUESTIONS
I resent the idea of being told
that I am not qualified to evaluate evidence and make a decision. Can you
imagine a scientist on trial for spreading false rumors and yelling at jurors
that they are not qualified? That was done to a state school board in Kansas.
I may not be a professional
football player but I know a fumble when I see one. I may not be a good cook
but I still spit out food that tastes bad. I think I know bad science when I
see it too.
If I ask “Why is there not a single
species giving birth to a brand new species that never existed before and
becomes a new and thriving species?” I will be accused of religious motives and
obviously too dumb to see the truth of evolution. If I am a scientist with the
same question I will be mocked and tagged for not agreeing with my peers.
Aren’t journalists noticing the redundancy
of quotes from the evolutionists? “There is no controversy”
“It doesn’t belong in science
class”
“Evolution has stood the test of
time”.
When evolutionists say “Science
must be provable or falsifiable. We cannot do that with Intelligent Design so
it doesn’t belong in science”. OK, I may sound like a 2nd grader but
while they are pointing they have 3 fingers pointing back.
Here are some questions I would
like to see journalists and the public ask
the Darwinian evolutionists:
- What
experiments have you done proving how explosions create order?
- What
experiments have you done proving how a life is made from non-living
material?
- What
experiments have you done proving how a species spontaneously gives birth
to an entirely new successful species?
- What
experiments have you done proving how matter organizes itself over time
instead of deteriorating over time?
- What
experiments have you done proving how all extinct animals did not cease to
exist but evolved into other species?
- What
experiments have you done proving how major mutations do not produce
sterility and deformities?
- What
experiments have you done proving why we should ignore the abundant
evidence proving evolution is contrary to provable science?
- If
mankind’s greatest minds are attempting to duplicate working systems in
nature, how is this grounds that nature has no intelligence?
- What
solid evidence can you give us proving things un-provable ought to be
called scientific?
- Why
should the American people believe scientific opinion instead of
scientific evidence?
Something else that really gets me
is how scientists agree that together man knows less than 1% of all knowledge
or the secrets of nature. OK so how can they simultaneously claim with certainty
about the unknown 99+% having absolutely no intelligence? Seems like somebody
is afraid of possibilities.
I will soon do a simple entry about
how obvious it is that Intelligent Design can be proven scientifically,
contrary to the swirling of words to the contrary.
I will also
try to make entries more often. I do appreciate each of you who has
made a comment. Thank you.
