Too late. The creationists and Intelligent Design proponents already knew.

    Actually, the creationists and Intelligent Design proponents don’t know either but the Theistic Evolutionists have it well in hand! :-)

    Sadly though the author has enough of his own issues to doubt the entire article. I don’t care if you believe in God or not. However, to not understand that the following is a fundamentally flawed statement you really don’t have any business writing on this subject at all. “What created the divine Creator? And at least scientists are making an honest effort to solve life’s mystery instead of blaming it all on God.”

    Wow, Tom. You wrote all that between the time I posted and the time you replied. Backdated and everything. Very impressive!

    Uh oh. One of atheism’s soft spots. Batten down the hatches.

    Atheism has soft spots? Tell me it’s not so.

    Maybe. But I believe you could move mountains with the kind of faith required to believe that the cell came into being without any intelligent input.

    Not to mention atheism’s inability to account for love, beauty, altruism, honor, truth, good and evil. Other than that though, it’s as solid as a rock.

    A rock that can’t think, for atheism also fails to account for rationality.

    Atheism account very well for love, beauty, altruism, humor, honor, creation and so forth. Christendom? Nothing.
