Read "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael Behe.
We are the product of intelligent design.
I find it amazing that the evolutionists can believe that all of the universe can spring from a Big Bang (the size of the head of a pin) but do not believe that all was created from nothing.
First tell me where the brain cells came from?
And, oh by the way, what went BANG! in the first place?
Election's over, now we can go back to arguing about evolution and whether predestination is true.
The Big Bang is not a biological theory.
I know, but if you believe evolution was the origin of life, you would believe the Big Bang theory too.
The theory of evolution is not involved with the origin of life, but rather with the proliferation of species, after life has begun.
As for the Big Bang, it's a theory that is only about 50 or 60 years old, and there were loads of biologists who accepted the theory of evolution before the Big Bang theory was ever dreamed of. They're quite unrelated.
It's true, however, that a science-minded person, who is impressed by evidence and rational thought, is likely to be favorably impressed by both theories; but that doesn't mean that they're related topics.
As I said, those who are impressed by evidence and rational thought will be impressed by well-supported scientific theories. The evidence supports evolution, and the Big Bang too. What's a rational person supposed to do?
The article mentions "the perfection of the human eye. The human eye is far from perfect. Eagles and falcons have much better eyes than we do.
Think. Answer the question in my first post. What went bang?
I donno. What's your point?
The big bang may well have happened, but it was not the origin of the universe. Something had to have been there to go bang, or it couldn't have happened.
Evolution happens, we know that. It could not have been the origin of life, however, or there would have been nothing to evolve.
The "scientific" explainations don't explain the origins of either. God is the origin.
Now I know we are getting back to normal, more threads exposing the crevos as cranks.
Thank God!
it seems to me, that God could have created a universe with or without evolution operating, and with or without a big bang. If He chose to create a universe in which evolution operates, why do people want to challenge that?
So many fresh, new faces. So many tired, old posts ;)
Giant squids seem to have better eyes too. The evolutionary path is somewhat different though.
I'll jump in here, since this is one of my favorite issues.
Same answer as where God came from . . .
I've argued this design issue extensively on another thread. The eye isn't particularly well designed. That is an opinion. Go out on a clear day, look up at the blue sky and notice all those little black things racing across the sky. Those are the red blood cells feeding the rods and cones that you see with, racing about feeding those same rods and cones. Disturbing your vision.
Because our eyes evolved from light sensitive patches under the skin, they are fed from above. As the eyes deepened for more efficiency, they kept the same configuration.
Squids, however, evolved in the cold water of oceans and their eyes are fed from beneath rather than from above, because it was more efficient to provide nutrients not being exposed to the cold water, from the beginning.
"Intelligent Design" is in the eye of the beholder.
Election's over, out to play placemarker.
Did Einstein wrap his mind around the concept of God always was?
