Finally. Darwinism Is Being Challenged
Looks like folks all over are finally mustering up the courage to challenge what many have suspected for a long time: that Darwinism is flawed in many ways and should be challenged. Though this particular production looks a bit dated, the information is definitely worth a look, not to mention there are a growing number of videos criticizing Darwinism showing up on the web:
In the whole Evolution versus Creation or the new Evolution versus Intelligent Design (contrary to what some may say, there is a difference between Creationism and Intelligent Design) debates, and despite the reputation of science and scientists as being boring, there is no lack of passion from either side on this particular issue. Unfortunately, when tempers flare much tends to get lost in the discussion. Often one finds oneself fighting to remember why the discussion was started. I ask that, regardless of which side of the debate you’re on, when you’re considering this subject to try not to be persuaded by the the raw emotion that is sometimes expressed in the form of personal attacks, or the surrounding hyperbole that misleads. Try and stick to the results of the scientific research, the proof or evidence, or the lack of it. And, very importantly, please try applying the same standards of fairness and the same criteria to both sides of the argument. This isn’t always easy, but if you were accused of something and had to stand trial for it you would want the jury to do just that.
An example of this lack of fairness would be the reputation that most Young Earth creation scientists have today. I’ve heard descriptions given more than a few times, from both scientists and laymen on both sides of the discussion, of Young Earth creationists who are not only “wrong”, but “cracked pots” because they believe the earth is much younger than most scientists. Now, I’ll be the first to tell you I’m not really sure where I stand on the issue, however, when one considers that about 100 years ago the the majority of science departments in greatest universities around the world, who are now vigorously promoting “Naturalism” and sometimes flat out atheism, were very much united in this Creationist thinking before Darwin. Yes, I know one can say that we have better data available nowadays, but didn’t they think the same thing back then? And, even more alarming is knowing that Galileo would be the first to tell you that a majority doesn’t make anything any more true.
So, as you hear these controversies spoken of please take the time to ignore the hype from either side and search for the TRUTH. After all, the truth should be the very point they’re trying to make for you.
God bless.
