Charles Darwin was brilliant, but we have begun to prove his theory of evolution incorrect. Of course, we cannot blame him for his logical fallacies. It is not his fault the 1850s lacked adequate research tools, but that is beside the point. Since then scientists have been able to demonstrate that not only did we not evolve from monkeys, but they have come forward and openly admitted that there is no scientific proof whatsoever for the supposed ten-plus billion years where accidental, random atomic collisions resulted in the place we now call home. While we have been able to arrive at the conclusion by lack of factual evidence that there was never any “Big Bang” researchers have also confirmed that there is no scientific support that contradicts the Christian Bible in any way. In fact, most historical and scientific accounts are directly in favor of the Bible.
As research progresses and we know more and more, still people deny the existence of God. Society has all the facts in front of them, a tree of knowledge so to speak, but they still continue to deny things even more than before…Or so it appears.
When Stephen Meyer, current acting director of the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington was contacted and asked to debate against biologists fighting for evolution he was thrilled. He jumped at the opportunity to put his PhD from Cambridge and knowledge from studying Origin-of-Life Issues into play. Where biblical related creation theories once were said to be based on nothing but faith and evolution based on solid factual data tables had been turning and Meyer as ready with scientific evidence to back up creation.
When the day came Meyer explained thoroughly how he and his biology assistants had begun to understand how Darwin’s theory of cells, being simply a lump of protoplasm was inaccurate. Meyer told the audience how biological life contain element that cannot be explained by natural selection, such as mammalian blood-clotting mechanisms or bacterial flagellum. He acknowledged that cells had actually been found to be so mathematically complex and intricate that the fastest counting tools today would never be able to calculate or process the amount of elaborate interwoven fabric structure and function of a human being. Each cell possesses tens of thousands of proteins arranged in obscure algorithms of communication and synthesis. The body is found to have around six trillion cells and each one of these cells stores DNA coding that is able to replicate in addition to processing each code in three different forms of RNA. Thousands of supporting enzymes exquisitely supply the system with energy and seal it with semi-permeable phospholid membranes. (The opposition retaliated attempting to prove the opposite view).
Open up a watch to observe the parts inside. There is no possible way that something so complex could appear here anyway besides having a creator, the watch maker. The same stands for the world. There's no way the world accidently emerged one day without a great thinker behind it. Is that thinker God? I don't know. You tell me, but my only opinion is that SOMEONE had to be behind this.
Everyone knows about having a fear of the unknown. I mean, who in this generation hasn’t watched “Lost” and not almost peed their pants when “the others” are coming? It is easy to dread the unknown, but more common to fear what is known.
When Meyer returned home after the debate he sat down with colleagues to discuss the dispute over evolution.
“The Darwinists are bluffing,” he said. They have the science of the steam engine era, and it’s not keeping up with the biology of the information age.”
A fellow biologist responded by handing him a copy of an article he had found the day before in a copy of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews. In the article written by devoted evolutionist, Carl Woese, the same person who had been the opposition in the debate described the failure of biology in proving evolution. It was a “page out of the antievolution playbook.” Woese illustrated the downfalls of natural selection and the mistakes of Darwinists. Woese knew the truth and believed what Meyer’s evidence supported, but simply with no explanation had refused to present this to the antievolution/procreation community. So now we ask ourselves, why would this man who knows more pretend to believe less when in a public debate, but then in a private magazine admit to actually expanding his beliefs?
The only way a person can deny something is if they believed it in the first place. The truth, or what is known, is feared to such an extent that denial comes into play. We like to believe what is safe and fear exploring the unpopular views. Our society is in a battle with our inner selves and few win the war. A pat on the back goes to those who branch out and choose not to live in denial and believe what they know is real. More people like this need to step out and voice what they actually believe. Living in denial is living a lie.
As we see groups such as the Ohio school board (the state where Stephen Meyer participated in his heated debate) vote to change the state science standards we are given a perfect example of people who know more, believing more. This past fall teachers in Ohio adjusted their curriculum plans to allow room for lessons that would introduce the basic tenets of intelligent design. This is a huge step in accepting the truth by moving past our fear of what is known and unknown as a collective society. While more people rise up, such as US Senator Rick Satorum who inserted a statement “to help students understand the full range of scientific views” into the No Child Left Behind Act, we hopefully will see a change in how the minds are processing new information. It’s a shame that people still fell compelled to conform to the safest and most popular ideas around them.
As Stephen Meyer stated, “Our culture has been deeply influenced by materialistic thought. I think it’s deeply destructive, and I think it’s false. And I mean to overturn it.”
Our world has had a lack of knowledge, but we are working to improve and expand the way we think. Unlike Darwin, we only have ourselves to blame so we need to step up, branch out and make a stand for ourselves.
