Intelligent Design

Quite a lot has happened in the last few weeks on the Intelligent Design issue. Most importantly, the ruling by the judge in the PA case. Sadly, it is obvious he is neither a Constitutional historian or a scientist.

It is very odd that people use the "Science vs Religion" argument to keep intelligent design out of public schools. The very same arguement could (and should be) used against them. The odds against evolution happening are incredible. It would have to be a miracle that it even happened. And for all that evolutionists claim to have happened to have happened would require many miracles. And yet they reject the idea the something of intelligence made it all happen. So if you believe in Evolution, you might as well believe in miracles. The coincidence is just too great. Doesn't sound very scientific, does it.

Romans 1

I was reading through Romans. The translation I was using was the amplified Bible. More specifically I was reading Chapter 1. If I had not know it was written by Paul, I would have thought that had been written today by someone experiencing what was going on today.

How should we then live? Cont'd

I still am reading the book, but I have this habit of doing more than one thing. Also when reading one thing, it peaks my interest in another area, so I have to go investigate.

I've got alot going through my mind right now. But then again, when don't I?

Evidence Not for Darwinism

Growing up, I didn't have to face the teachings of Darwinism and the Theory of Evolution in school, at least not as fact. Most of my life surrounded our church and the school which was an extension of the church. So the people around me didn't teach or believe it either. I did do a report on Darwin - I think it was in High School.

Unfortnately my children have not had the good fortune to go to a good Christian school (I didn't say perfect). And since having graduated high school I've been in "the real world". So we are faced with these things now. I never spent alot of time on what was wrong with them, but I knew they were. So after a few discussions with my sons and in an attempt to keep my brain from being a tv waste land I grabbed a few books on Darwinism and Creation. I'll attempt to post some of that here too.

How Should we then Live?

I've been reading Francis Shaeffer's book How Should we then Live?. It has been over 20 years since I saw the films. So this is more of a refresher. In the coming days/weeks/months I'll be commenting on it and other related things.
