I fail to see how he effectively uses evolution to explain away God.bevets said:All we can say about such beliefs is, firstly, that they are superfluous and, secondly, that they assume the existence of the main thing we want to explain, namely, organized complexity. ~ Richard Dawkins
again, this does not detract at all from a creator. It simply says "there isn't a God of the gaps"It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. ~ Richard Lewontin
no, the manner of thinking is agnostic at the most. you are trying to separate God and nature, and say that "nature = without God"What theistic evolutionists have failed above all to comprehend is that the conflict is not over facts but over ways of thinking... The specific answers they derive may or may not be reconcilable with theism, but the manner of thinking is profoundly atheistic.
retroviral insertions would be a splendid example of this. mind you, I had a funny feeling you would do this with the analogy anyway, so it doesn't really matter.Blood spatter experts invoke the scientific method by causing blood spatter and then observing the effects. These observations are then compared with blood spatters that the expert did not personally witness. Please explain how this is connected to evolution.
because God created it didn't he? notice how God "spoke" and the universe came into being... in a sense, the universe is the word of God. furthermore no-one has had the ability to get their sticky fingers on it and change bits.Please elaborate how 'the universe is closer to a literal, unblemished word of God' than the Bible aka The Word of God.
This is completely irrelevant to the point I made, so I'm not going to go off topic with it. Good interpretation of the bible will lead to God.. is this correct?Please explain why your interpretation is better than mine.
