Scientists as a whole can generally be trusted to keep an open mind, but unfortunately it is the dishonest atheist, hiding behind science's lack of complete information, that gives scientists and everyone else a bad name. Science, in general, does not conflict with religion and will never do so unless and until science can categorically prove that there never was a first cause who is God. That is unlikely to ever happen, particularly as evidence for the supernatural refuses to go away, while science struggles to develop the tools to properly study supernatural phenomena.
Religion sees science as a tool that reveals as much of God's glory as God wishes to provide. So far, believers are enjoying the ride and what a great ride it is! Hubble..Wow! And so far, we have no conflict. Atheism is, as it has always been, the chaotic force that wishes science to remain distanced and non-committal in supernatural things and at the same time, for religion to disappear without a trace. And all for freedom to descend into nihilism, for freedom to do whatever they want, and most importantly, let's face it....hatred of God.
I wonder how scientists feel about being a shelter for atheism. It must embarrass science to know that atheism only exists because of science's inability to, among other things:
- Find enough fossil evidence to support evolution.
- Get the tools (and willpower) to properly study supernatural phenomena
Regarding the human eye:
Darwin himself realised the great stretch required to believe that such a complex structure could "evolve". So firstly, please forgive theists "arguments from incredulity" on the topic of evolution, when the very person responsible for this theory showed the most incredulity of all, although in his case we can more safely call it educated opinion, unless atheists would suddenly like to cast doubt on Darwin's qualifications, in which case we'd also be satisfied. So, ironically, that automatically makes the theist argument for incredulity scientific educated opinion at least.
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. (Darwin 1872)".
Atheist evolutionists rush to the defence of atheism (not to the defence of Darwin or Science) with a contrived explanation that this expression of doubt is merely rhetorical and that solutions are subsequently provided in later paragraphs. It surprises no-one that atheists cannot bring themselves to concede, as the text clearly suggests, that Darwin had serious reservations about the theory of evolution and was forced to come up with a series of "plausible" explanations that "might" account for such things as the complexity of the eye.
Any perfect evidence so far? Nope, we have a shortlist of possiblities that Darwin came up with in the huge unmistakable absence of anything resembling fact and truth. So, any scientific basis for evolution so far? Nope...the theory should still be well and truly in the theory basket under lock and key, certainly not released as part of school curriculum.
The disturbing issues here, which atheists take full advantage of, is that Science constantly gets by on plausibility until someone comes up with a better answer. How many times has science come up with better answers to succeed what scientists previously thought? We could not keep count. Science, pardon the irony, is not an exact science.
Darwin, in no way, committed himself to his theories of macro-evolution. The eye and non-existent fossil record are but two of his major self-admitted concerns. So, how has it been possible, even though these same questions have not yet been fully answered with irrefutable evidence (remember, atheists demand perfect evidence for God, but conveniently overlook it as it suits them), for atheists to have managed to get so much mileage out of evolution, when serious doubt exists absolutely everywhere in science, not only in evolution. These are a couple of reasons:
- People don't differentiate between micro-evolution (natural selection) and macro-evolution. Darwin is more famous for his theory of natural selection, pointing out his own serious reservations about the theory of evolution. But atheists have managed to sneak the theory of evolution into the same acceptance basket by bringing up even more theory, such as.... well...that evolution is just natural selection on a larger scale.
- Science cannot substantiate, in a satisfactory peer-reviewed way, the evidence and claims for the supernatural. This allows atheists to dishonestly use the catchcry that there is "no evidence" for God and continue on their merry way. It's a toll they don't have to pay. The toll gates are wide open. And they dishonestly skip through with sneers on their faces.
Another favourite atheist saying is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Well, evolution is an extraordinary claim ("we came from primordial ooze") and there is even less evidence than, say, the supernatural occurrences at Medjugorje, which science has studied on at least 3 separate occasions. Science only gets so far but stops short of proof, not having the tools to advance further. THAT is the imperfect evidence Dawkins et al rely upon.
Who wins? Science? Nope. Religion? Nope. Atheism? Indeed! Atheism is a cowardly practice that relies on absence of information, chaos. Yes, it all sounds like a Maxwell Smart episode doesn't it. Atheism is that dark, dishonest shadow that hangs around, never quite gets to do anything, but cleverly learns to love and profit from the chaos and misinformation it creates. Richard Dawkins and Christoper Hitchens are laughing their way to the bank.
