Charles Colson's Breakpoint piece, evolutionist response

[rmwilliamsll]

i had posted this blog link awhile back.
well here is an excellent piece on C.Colson's breakpoint article.

I find the tie to R. Stark particularly interesting as i finished 3 of his books within the last year or so and really like his work.

Breakpoint Says Darwinists Stonewall the Facts. Yawn.


Over at Breakpoint Charles Colson and Anne Morse have this to say about the evidence, such as it is, in support of evolution:


All well and good, but Darwinism, at least, has been empirically proven, right?

Wrong. Sure, there's evidence that evolution takes place within a species—but the fossil record has not yielded evidence of one species becoming another, as Darwin confidently predicted. This lack of evidence has not gone unnoticed by sociologist Rodney Stark. Stark calls himself neither an evolutionist nor an advocate of Intelligent Design; instead, he says, he is merely a scholar pursuing the evidence where it leads. In For the Glory of God (Princeton University Press, 2003), Stark offers startling evidence that Darwinists have covered up mounting flaws in their theory. He concludes that the battle over evolution is hardly a case of “heroic” scientists fighting off the persecution of religious fanatics. Instead, from the start, evolution “has primarily been an attack on religion by militant atheists who wrap themselves in the mantle of science in an effort to refute all religious claims concerning a creator—an effort that has also often attempted to suppress all scientific criticisms of Darwin's work.”



Golly! A sociologist says evolution is a lot of nonsense. Well, QED.

with the embedded links it reads more like a reference or summary paper than a normal short blog piece. nice work, worth the reading, follow the links if you have time.

btw, anyone else have a set of interesting creation evolution design blogs to read? public blogrolls or bloglines login especially appreciated, it would be nice to have a single link to send people to for this kind of reading. i don't have one now.
