Think for a moment. Why should we “believe” in evolution? Because the “scientists” tell us to do so? How do they know? They look at some stones and bones, make some guesses, none of which can be proven one way or another, and tell us, this is “science”. Not much different than guys in a bar arguing about who is the best quarterback.

Why do adults reject evolution? Because our experience in the real world is quite different from what we are told as children in our text books. We learn that radioactive dating is neither accurate nor reliable. We find that we cannot rely on the integrity of academics, as they are not above fudging data to promote their particular point of view. We learn what a vested financial interest is.

This prompts us to take a more skeptical view of the claims of evolution, and to see it for what it really is – a fraud, a scam, and a con.

Now you can show me your evidence in favor of evolution. You may be an honest person, and have complete faith in your data. But you have no idea how the data on which you rely on was generated, or even if it is true! You accept without question the reasoning of the evolutionist “hook, line and sinker” without once ever thinking to yourself, “does this make sense?” or ” is this something I have observed myself?”

Evolution cannot stand such a close examination. Accordingly, its proponents seek to divert the public’s attention with the science vs faith argument. They have had great success in keeping evolution the official doctrine taught in school. But people are wising up.

Of course, those promoting this bs are upset that the rubes, marks, and yokels are getting a clue and waking up. Too bad. Evolution is only for the gullible.

The history channel did a biography on Houdini. Late in his career, he exposed mediums. Strangely, the mediums had some of their most ardent beleivers in the scientific community! Houdini marveled that he, an uneducated man, could see the fraud the elite could not. Same thing today with evolution, except today the “scientific community” has a vested financial interest in maintaining the con. They can’t admit they are wrong now!

“My gosh, look outside…..this happened by chance?”
My gosh look at the waterfall, this happened by chance? No, it happened via natural processes over extended periods of time. It may not necessarily be “proof against god”, but merely saying that because things look nice to you, does not mean that it was made for you or “by someone”.

“I’d rather be wrong on this subject than believe that there’s no point to all of this…..”
So ignorance is bliss for you? I’d rather be RIGHT and not have false hope. I would love to believe that there is superman at every road to protect us from the people who would harm us, but believing it won’t make it so.

Once we acknowledge the truth of the situation regarding afterlives (which lack evidence atm) – you can focus on THIS life and make the most of it. And if there is an afterlife and there is a god and he’s an understanding merciful being, perhaps he will not think any less of you for it, and may think more of you having lived your life to the max regardless of any heavenly bribes.

“And there are many, many top level scientists that absolutely believe in an intelligent designer.”
And there are many many top level scientists that don’t believe in an intelligent designer, let’s be generous – a 50/50 split between believers and non-believers. This proves nothing.

“Am always surprised at the ability of people to swallow the Darwinian Kool-Aid.”
Because its reality, evolution occurs. Evolution may not prove or disprove god, but you have to realise that was not its purpose. But don’t worry, there will always be a gap in knowledge you can exploit to fit in your abrahamic deity.

“Your teachers told you it was true but guess what? Your teacher was wrong too.”
Have you ever thought the same way about the bible? The bible tells you it is true, but guess what? Your bible was wrong too?

“Evolution, like atheism, requires faith not proof.”
Evolution requires evidence; atheism does not require evidence or faith. Evolution has vast swathes of evidence to its credit.

“For if an atheist cannot with 100% certainty prove that God (including creationism) does not exist, and then the atheist must rely on faith alone to get him through the day.”
For if a person who hasn’t accepted the existence of the cannot with 100% certainty prove that yetis do not exist, and then the non-yeti believer must rely on faith alone to get them through the day. Surely this should be a good enough analogy for you to realise that lacking a belief does not necessitate faith. I don’t have faith that god exists or doesn’t exist. I merely have not accepted the claims of his/her existence on the basis that I have not been presented evidence. Hence I require no faith.

“Logically, if an atheist considers an investigation into God and creationism to be “wasting their time””
If we’re talking about creationism vs. evolution then definitely it’s a waste of time as evolution is a well established fact. However if you are speaking of investigating god in other ways (e.g. his/her traits) then it would be a waste of time as we don’t have any way of testing his/her traits.

“Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin. In Chemistry- Boyle, Dalton, Pascal, Ramsay. In Biology-Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur. In Geology- Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Agassiz. In Astronomy- Kepler, Galileo, Herschel, Maunder.”
Almost all the names you have mentioned were that of scientists who did not live at the time the theory of evolution was proposed and actively investigated.

Isaac Newton, when he reached the limits of his knowledge when coming up with a consistent model of the solar system gave up and then claimed “this must all be due to god”. Had he been more persistent he would have continued investigating and have prevented the 100 year delay in knowledge of the solar system. He didn’t have to not believe in god, but him positing “intelligent design” cost us 100 years on planetary theory.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing if you suspect/speculate or even believe there may be a god behind all this, but you must understand that you can’t go around positing god as an answer for questions you don’t know the real answer to. Just because something seems too complex and wondrous to you, does not justify you to stop investigating and saying “god did it and there is no other way”. Newton did the same thing when he was baffled by the complexity of the heliocentric model and stopped investigating “god did it”; creationists are doing the same thing.

“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him”
1) I have no need to diminish god(s) glory
2) I have not been asked by GOD (and I mean GOD as in the one that is not manmade/abrahamic) to worship him
3) Why would an omnipotent omnniscient being who has it all want to be worshipped at all? Worshipping is for slaves to worship a person who wants his ego tickled.

I have higher expectations of a powerful all knowing being.

Evolution, like atheism, requires faith not proof. For if an atheist can not with 100% certainty prove that God (including creationism) does not exist, then the atheist must rely on faith alone to get him through the day. It is of little wonder to me that atheists and evolutionists feel so lonely.

Isaac Asimov once said:

“Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don’t have the evidence to prove that God doesn’t exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn’t that I don’t want to waste my time.”

Logically, if an atheist considers an investigation into God and creationism to be “wasting their time”, then he fails to provide support for his own beliefs in atheism and evolution as well.

And as for the notion that Christians do not reason, well one need only look to history for that. The following scientists were all Christians and they all believed in creationism…

In Physics- Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin. In Chemistry- Boyle, Dalton, Pascal, Ramsay. In Biology-Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur. In Geology- Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Agassiz. In Astronomy- Kepler, Galileo, Herschel, Maunder.

We live in a God created universe, and it is impossible to even begin to understand it unless one believes in God first.

Chris Pirillo is often funny. Just as often his humor is corny. I like corny. Take a look at his commentary regarding a World Net Daily column written by Pat Boone*:
I guess it’s Too Late to Turn Back Now. I Almost Lost My Mind the first time I re…

Maybe the people are waking up.

You will find many highly educated Christians there, too many to list really, even a few nobel prize winners like Charles Hard Townes who had won the nobel prize for Physics in 1964 and of course who can forget Donald Knuth author of the classic “The Art of Computer Programming”. Many of them do not believe in evolution.

Please try searching for Scientists who are Christians and also while your at it try searching for Scientists that do not believe evolution is true…

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=scientists+against+evolution&btnG=Google+Search

You’ll even find plenty of Scientists that do not believe Richard Dawkins is correct in his work either.

BTW, I know that Drawin’s theory was and is completely wrong and I’m not the least bit lonely. Go figure. Thanks for the link to the article Chris.
