Never have it is still here.
He lost his faith after the death of a child.
YECers continually start with the premise that evolution requires ‘something from nothing’. That is simply not true.
RE :”He lost his faith after the death of a child.’
and decided to make up an ape theory to get revenge?
I don’t think that Darwin was vindictive against God but he did make some comments about the irrationality of some beliefs. Anyway, it wasn’t “made up” and is still the best natural explanation that we have. The special creation hypothesis may very well be true (somehow) but its supporters insist on avoiding any attempt to explain things using the scientific method.
“God did it by means we mortals can never understand so don’t you dare ask any more questions.”
Does this sound about right?
And dont forget that Darwin tricked many people into going to hell by getting them to think about how all those fossils got in the ground, and how light got to us from the stars millions of light years away, when God REALLY just made look that way a few thousand years ago, just to see if we had pure hearts.
I think the argument of this article was that Darwin used the assumption of 'order' to form 'logic' which was stole from the creationists. But as you point out, questions being forbidden (Like the fruit from the book of Knowledge) is not logic.
