We are the result of a “BLIND” “WATCHMAKER”. Darwin believed he found the answer to how and why our “genetic book” is configured. The complexities of man arose naturally without intelligent design and guidance. There is a story in the bible of how God was lonely and wanted to have some company so he made Adam and Eve. Darwin and Alfred Russel would say that is just some conjured up wives tale about how man was created. Through science the theory of Evolution removed religion from the picture and has caused great debate in the world. It also has introduced a concept that is on track to explaining how we evolved over the course of time. We have transformed over the years, and leave a blueprint that gets passed on to our children to allow for our species survival. Each creature and being’s purpose in life is to survive. We are striving to increase in number. This is survival runs the course of time. The acronym VISITED shows the principles behind the science of evolution. We are a variation of a sexual selection. We inherit from our parents DNA for future generations. There is a selection process at play that acts as a sieving out process so the species wont over populate. In combination the first 3 factors must work over the course of time. With enough variations we will equal a design. Biologists look to this concept as the science of our existence on this planet.
“Evolution is referred to as the universal acid. Once you hold it, it burns through everything.” Most scientists believe that in order for something to exist it must be testable. They have explain why we (humans, life forms) are here on this planet. Darwinian Success works because it is testable. Tests lead to results, and those results give us answers about the world. Evolution biologists may say that those who believe in Intelligent Design, are too lazy to think. They don’t want to take the time to explain how the brain evolved. On the flip side, Creationists believe that the world is too complex to be broken down by science.
The Western way of thinking has always aligned with religion. We look to God for explanation. America is a westernized country. We work during the week and go to church on Sunday. We have been taught the teachings of God from the time we were little and those lessons we apply to world around us. So when we think of how the world was formed, we go back to the old testament, and look to the book of Genesis. God created the world in 7 days. All of its complexities are the result of intelligent design. Even if you can use the theory of reductionism to get to the foundation, how do you explain that foundation? How did that simplest form come into being? Scientists can’t explain everything, a lot of it is pure guess work. That is where the Creationists are able to upset Evolutionists’ argument. They know that there are holes in the story and their faith tells them that God was the intelligent designer. Even though evolution may be the biggest critique of the book of Genesis, Creationists, as long as there are holes in the theory, will be able to say that we are here because of God’s creation.
Evolutionists will say that Evolution liberates us from the foley of a designer god. There was a statement made in one of the readings that said, “God doesn’t have to explain anything because his is exempt from the equation. There is no god and he is no longer viable as an explanatory alternative.” They feel this because there is too many ways to test. There are ways to explain this complicated world we live on. Do we know all of the answers, of course not. Scientists believe we can explain the answers every time we make a hypothesis.
