Digging for the facts, part 2

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Richard Dawkins, Oxford “… there are certain things about the fossil record that any evolutionist should expect to be true. We should be very surprised, for example, to find fossil humans appearing in the record before mammals are supposed to have evolved! If a single, well verified mammal skull were to turn up in 500 million year old rocks, our whole modern theory of evolution would be utterly destroyed. Incidentally, this is a sufficient answer to the canard, put about by creationist and their journalistic fellow travelers, that the whole theory of evolution is an ‘unfalsifiable’ tautology. Ironically, it is also the reason why creationist are so keen on the fake human footprints, which were carved during the depression to fool tourist, in the dinosaur beds of Texas, ” (The Blind Watchmaker, 1986, p. 225) [Footprints validated http://ianjuby.org/delk/]

Steven M. Stanley, Johns Hopkins University, “There is an infinite variety of ways in which, since 1859, the general concept of evolution might have been demolished. Consider the fossil record– a little known resource in Darwin’s day. The unequivocal discovery of a fossil population of horses in Precambrian rocks would disprove evolution. More generally, any topsy-turvy sequence of fossils would force us to rethink our theory, yet not a single one has come to light. As Darwin recognized, a single geographic inconsistency would have nearly the same power of destruction.” (The New Evolutionary Timetable, 1981, p.171)

–science with Hugh R. Miller

The Controversy: Those who oppose evolution have often claimed that the theory of evolution of life from a common ancestor, like a bacterium, was not really a theory. Why, because to be a valid scientific theory there must be a scientific way by which it could be falsified. But how does science go about falsifying hypothetical biological events that might have happened so far back in time as millions and even billions of years? Who was there to see it all happen and so report; it is certainly not reported in scripture. Therefore some opponents of evolution such as those who take the Bible literally argue that evolution is NOT falsifiable and therefore NOT science– not even a theory.

Obviously evolutionists disagree as they have been teaching evolution as a fact in Catholic as well as all educational systems for several decades. Well, several leading proponents of evolution have boldly admitted in their own words how their “Sacred Cow” could indeed be falsified. Simply show for example, that Dinosaurs and Humans have coexisted…

What are the implications? According to leading evolutionists. Evolutionary theory obliterated!

Richard Dawkins, Oxford “alleged human bones in the Carboniferous coal deposits. If authenticated as human, these bones would blow the theory of evolution out of the water.” (Free Inquiry, V.21, No.4, 10/11/2001) [See web site http://edconrad.com/]

Richard Dawkins calls for arrest of Benedict XVI

Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins calls for the arrest of Benedict XVI. What exactly does Richard Dawkins call for anyway? Is it legal justice? Whose laws and why? It’s ironic that the laws of nature and society have universal principle based on the moral law. The law of society is either good or bad according to the light of the moral law found in nature and in the revelation of God, and how it conforms with reason and the intellect of an average man.

The problem with society today is the democratic process of formulating law against natural and moral standard. What was considered a moral or social evil by the previous generation is now more or less permissible for the personal right of each human person. It is by the vote of the majority that counts, at the expense of those who favor objective truth apart from mass consent. Judgment was made on the principle of divine revelation and truth found in nature. Now, it is the favorable precedence in recent judgment by courts and law-makers. With a pass of legislation, anything that is suitable is accepted without guilty conscience.

How do atheists or evolutionists explain the rational soul or the rational intellect in the human person? They can’t. The presume that it naturally occurred as a result of evolution. Evolution by natural selection, competition, death, and destruction. That is the reality on the judgment of every human person. But how is it that atheists or evolutionists call for a legal justice that has its basis on the world that was created and kept by random chance?

Strangely enough, the institution of the Vatican has been seen by the world for its lack of accountability, its moral evil, and its corruption. The Church that does not teach sound doctrine will inevitably fail at moral truth. Just like other religious denominations, it will falter in its presentation of moral truth, especially when it claims to derive its truths from God and revelation.

But that matters not, because the Church is filled with homosexual priests, may still be hidden, is the problem that needs to be resolved. Gay men should not be priests, especially those who work with children. Men who are emotional and psychological mature enough should only be permitted to be pastors in the Church.

In conclusion, hypocrisy is on both sides. The media ridicules the hypocrisy of an institution that is supposedly the defender of moral truths, while society is promiscuous even on moral standard. Atheists and evolutionists call for justice when the only explanation is natural selection, competition, death, and destruction, as the result of evolution.
