Creative Creation

From the disclaimer stickers that were found to be unconstitutional in Cobb county Georgia,

“This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.”

to the rejection of the book “Of Pandas and People” in Dover, Ohio, the ACLU is hard at work stopping the insidious encroachment of religion into the schools of America. “Your intelligent design theories are religious because the people who espouse them are Christians.” Or at least that is what their argument looks like to me.

They say, “when we dare to teach anything other than evolution as a theory of origins we are teaching a theory that implies a creator.” But is that really true? Intelligent design simply recognizes the problems with a theory that believes that the complexity of life came from random and natural processes. It denies that it was chance. It points out organization and patterns that imply the necessity of another explanation. You fill in the blanks.

But this is what chaps me… There is no science in the philosophy of evolution. There is microevolution. Yes, finch beaks change over time based on the needs of the species. But there is simply no evidence that a polly-wog becomes a crocodile over time no matter how much time you give it to happen. None. Zilch. Nada.

Even the pictures in the textbooks are fakes. Gypsy moths do not land on the bark of the trees. They are always on the leaves. No pigmy four legged antelope ever changed into a full size horse. It is just a drawing. Even the images of the “gills” on an embryo or the tail on the same are just drawings. The real thing does not look like that at all. Those illustrations are drawn by the same imaginations that make faces out of clouds. They are not photos of the real thing. The real thing looks entirely different.

Macroevolution is what the textbooks push. Slime turns into the human brain over (Now lets see… Hmm? … Nobody will believe thousands, or even millions, let’s say) billions of years. There is no natural mechanism for that. There is only a philosophical one. And in this game, time is the solution to everything.

Basically, science has no business saying that it can explain how life came to exist. It is the work of philosophers and theologians. The only reason I can see for doing so is to eliminate the possibility or need of a Creator, and that for less than scientific reasons. But I guess we are all so highly evolved now that the idea of a Creator is seen as immature. 8,000 years of the history of man and a Creator is simply just not cool. We are smarter than that.

If this continues current scientists will become the scandal of the future. The only clear thinkers will be those who can reason from a Creator. All the rest of the pseudo-scientist- philosophers will have lost all of their “creativity.”
