Re: Susan Olmsted’s letter (Nov. 27), I was astounded it was written by a kid, and more astounded at the ignorant and savage attacks on her by secular fundamentalist fanatics who were worst than Pat Robertson. Susan was right on nearly every count.
Science is not about “truth,” but a strictly mechanical description of the operation of the natural world. Naturalistic evolution has never been observed and has failed all attempts to reproduce in a laboratory and is without a shred of verifiable scientific proof.
It’s irrational to believe life began without a creator. To quote Dr. Gerald Schroeder of MIT, “Order never arises from disorder spontaneously. There must be a guide to the system.” Dr. Duffy knows all of this, but chose to abuse science to promote his personal beliefs. He can argue with Dr. Schroeder at www.geraldschroeder.com.
The National Academy of Sciences publication Science and Creationism (1999) stated that “Scientists, like many others, are touched with awe at the order and complexity of nature. Indeed, many scientists are deeply religious...” They’re religious atheists with pantheistic environmentalism the most popular belief system followed by socialism.
Evolution is a process. It took billions of years for single-cell life to make the world habitable. Then 600 million years ago the “sudden” Cambrian explosion laid the groundwork for all life today. Fossils are the remnants of the process. Humans didn’t evolve from apes, Neanderthals were human, and anything beyond that are mostly fragments of questionable origin.
In all of this God is still with us today. God can speak through the Bible and I don’t have all the answers by far. But God doesn’t belong in a science class.
The scientific method must be properly taught and the flaws of naturalistic evolution must be presented. Stop using science to undermine God to promote atheistic’ pseudo-religions. Atheists are not evil people and I’d suggest looking into the writings of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the works of Dr. Schroeder.
