Richard Dawkins and Bill O'Reilly: We report, you decide

clock July 17, 2008 00:08 by author mattaft

I absolutely love this gem... O'Reilly says "I'm throwin' in with Jesus because He's the only one who has an explaination about how all of this got here."  And Dawkins ridiculous reply "We working on that."  Priceless... and note that one of the main problems with people like Dawkins who demonstrate no understanding of the information problems in biology, early on in this piece when he says how we clearly understand how the tides work.  Notice that understanding how something works and even what the component parts are made of, have nothing to say on WHO put them there, who or what organized them with know-how, properly tuned, to function day after day. 

Imagine we find a complicated engine somewhere in a desert, with gasoline and lubricants, working, etc., the whole nine yards... and say "well obviously, that gear there turns and rubs against that gear over there and these parts are made merely of metal which is found in the earth and these oils are known to be in the ground as well.  Clearly when this part goes up and down, this part over here reacts and the continual sparking of this keeps this machine going until it runs out of fuel."   Dawkins would have us believe that since we know how it's working and what it's made of, the case is solved and science has proven that this engine needed no creator and no one to make sure that the oil is topped up and the gasoline filled.  Anyone who suggests a "creator" of this device is simply an enemy of science, who's clearly trying to take the "easy way out" and suggest something besides natural forces are at work.    This is complete ignorance of the information problem.  Read my lips Mr. Dawkins:  All design has a designer.   And to believe otherwise is to be an enemy of truly observed science.   One last point.... I have always found this humorous and I can't recall where I heard it:  "Atheists don't believe in God, but some people are surprised to learn that God doesn't believe in atheists either."   In other words, God tells us that even the most ardent combat soldier against Christianity (we'll use Richard Dawkins as our example), deep down knows that there is a God.  All of observed nature makes this clear.  Since all things which exist had a causation, and a cause must be greater than it's effect, we look at this universe with it's untold billions and trillions of stars and spinning galaxies, quasars, nebulae, black holes, suns and planets, and the planet earth with its beautiful and exquisite life forms, it is readily accessible information that the cause behind it all, must truly be a GOD.

Michael Behe: on proteins and probabilities

clock July 16, 2008 23:53 by author mattaft

Details bore some people.  But if Christians hope to give an answer for their reasonable faith in a creator God, they need to be armed with details.  Facts which are indisputable.  And the dirty little secret is, the details are on OUR side.  I am reminded of a favorite saying of a Jewish man I used to work with... "GOD is in the details".  Enjoy!

Berlinsky on the problems with introducing random mutations into a code-based organism

clock July 16, 2008 23:38 by author mattaft

What a joy it is to hear a man show no fear in marching about in the public square shouting that the emperor hasn't any clothes.  Dr. Berlinski, we salute you.  Not because you're pushing Jesus in the schools.  Not because you're anti-science.  Not because you're a rebel.  Because you are unafraid to stand up against the pseudo-science of our times and the priesthood that will blacklist you for speaking out.   Dr. Berlinski is standing up FOR science.  He is a clear and level head in a time when it has become against the rules to question the authority of Darwinism.

Watch and enjoy!
