Discoveries in science worth celebrating

Many discoveries in science over the last thirty years of the intelligent design of life are as momentous as the discovery that the earth goes around the sun. The magnitude of those discoveries is so significant and so profound that they should be ranked as some of the greatest achievements in the history of science. This should be a time of great celebration. However, there are many in the greater scientific community who, because of their naturalistic doctrine, refuse to celebrate.

This apathy lies in the fact that Darwinism doctrine is an undirected, purely naturalistic, process which can somehow, when given enough time, turn non-living chemicals into extraordinary complex living things. The reason its adherents exhibit such a strong anti-religious determination to repress any idea of intelligent design, is by describing it as a by-product of biblical creation.

Actually, those representing the intelligent design community worldwide are highly reputable scientists whose primary interest is in presenting evidence supporting their discoveries, nothing more. If evolution cannot adequately explain their findings, they have no choice but to follow that which makes the most sense from a purely scientific perspective.

These scientists are presently busy, observing those amazingly incredible complex systems that have yet to be explained by any naturalistic means, such as: complexity with profound metaphysical implications, positive evidence of a transcendent force, an intelligent force existing and operating above and independent of the natural world.

Once we accept the fact that the world is much too complex to be explained by Charles Darwin’s mindless natural forces, our minds will be open to the idea that an intelligent agent, whose actions in nature are clearly detectable, deserves all the credit. We will then have opened the door for unimaginable future scientific discoveries. For many, that day has arrived.

Do you believe in God?

My question, to all those anti-abortion lobbyists, is this-Do you believe in God? If so what kind of God? Do you really believe in an all-powerful being that’s ignorant and careless enough to say, “Sorry little buddy, but your mom’s a sinner! Too bad you didn’t get a chance at life, cause you won’t get another.”

If the belief in God supports your opinion at all, then at least have the courage to believe in a God that’s caring and intelligent enough to reroute a soul’s existence accordingly. If I picked a soul, a mother to raise and direct me, and that soul was refused-I truly believe that my soul would be noble enough to accept that without offense. This is not just a fight about abortion; it’s a fight about God.
