In the News

Pat Gillespie, staff writer for the Columbus (OH) Ledger-Enquirer reported on a talk given by Eugenie Scott. She spoke at Columbus State University's Davidson Student Center auditorium about evolution and the theories against it.

Where to begin???...

Scott is quoted as saying, "All we are trying to do is explain the natural world". No, all Darwinists are trying to do is explain the natural world through the lens of scientific materialism, where nothing immaterial exists beyond or within the physical cosmos. In this narrow, limiting perspective, they are not looking for the right answers, they are looking for the right KIND of answers; solely materialistic answers. She claims that attributing things to a God would cause you to "stop looking" for answers (a science stopper). Odd claim, since most of the groundbreaking discoveries in the scientific revolution were by men who were trying to figure out the orderly and complex nature that the personal God they believed in created.

The telling quote was "Science cannot tell you who done it, but how it happened. If there is an omnipotent being, anything this being does is compatible with anything we observe." Apparently, Eugenie has become an ID proponent (tongue in cheek)!! We can observe the effects of what an omnipotent being has done, even though science cannot tell us who did it! Just as we can determine if a death occurred by natural causes or the work of an intelligent, yet evil, agent, the recent discoveries in science can point to whether a feature evolved through mutation and natural selection or whether it was designed by an intelligent agent. Would I be justified in scientifically concluding that a person was murdered by an intelligent agent, rather than died of natural causes, if I found the body with four bullets in the chest? Could I tell scientifically whether a piece of rock was shaped by wind and water, or was crafted by a long-gone hunter? Of course!

Scott's claim that Darwinism and belief in an active, creating God can co-exist is simply false. She said several times that evolution scientists aren't in the business of discounting God, but rather proving how things were created. Darwinism claims that descent through modification is solely accomplished by random mutation and natural selection. No Higher Power need apply! Period. Scott should know better than to say that Darwinism (an atheistic worldview) and a belief in an extra-natural, creative God can co-exist. If what she means by that remark is that science (what's really true) can co-exist with a belief in a God (a fantasy in the deluded minds of mislead believers), I suppose they can.

A story appears in TownHall.com regarding the Gull Lake Community School District in Ann Arbor, MI.

The Thomas More Law Center has filed a complaint with the district when books about ID were confiscated from classrooms where teachers were teaching ID and evolution.

Wynne Everett of the Valley News Dispatch (western PA) reported on more legislation in PA giving the option to school districts to teach ID.

Opponents to the bill use the same old tired responses: keep religion out of the schools, it's science vs faith, we don't want to go back into the "Dark Ages." Slowly, this kind of rhetoric is going to lose it's power as more see its folly.
