Further update:Lo and behold they lifted the block!
Update: Florida Citizens for Science has been sending me traffic by way of commenting about my blog on their website, while blocking me from viewing those comments. So to all my evolutionist friends out there, “Welcome!”
Rom. 12:14-21
Does the creationist view eliminate the possibility that life forms evolved from non-living matter by chance? Given that no rational explanation has been given to indicate how this is possible, the evidence reveals an intelligent cause. A theist calls this cause “God.” The universe and life itself exists because God wills it to exist. The theistic evolutionist asserts that God used naturalistic evolution to create life. It seems that the necessary agency of time is the great flaw in this assertion. The evidence reveals that 150 million years is not enough time for the complexity of life to have naturally emerged from the dust of the Earth–a supernatural cause is implied. That cause which is outside of time and space is the same God of theistic religions.
Humankind as the pinnacle of creation is uniquely created bearing the image of God. The creationist believes that life is sacred and human life in particular holds intrinsic value and purpose and thus a creationist battles to uphold the common moral law – the law prescribed by the Moral Law Giver. Championing the pro-life cause, raising up children taught to respect the life and property of others, seeking to strengthen the family unit are all values gleaned from a Creator who purposed humans into being as an expression of His love. The theistic God not only caused and sustains His creation, He reveals the truth of His existence through that creation.
Following the evidence leads to God. There must be life after death. There is an absolute foundation for right and wrong. There is an ultimate meaning for life and people really do have free will. That free will enables us to choose either to acknowledge or deny the existence of a supernatural intelligent mind. The now agnostic Antony Flew writes, “The discovery of phenomena like the laws of nature–the communications network of the parable–has led scientists, philosophers, and others to accept the existence of an infinitely intelligent Mind. Some claim to have made contact with this Mind. I have not–yet. But who knows what could happen next? Someday I might hear a Voice that says, “Can you hear me now?”
If God has been given His walking papers, He does not seem willing to submit to those orders. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” He still pursues the crown of His creation, revealing Himself through general revelation and when we seek Him, revealing Himself through special revelation. Jastrow summed up the quandary of the scientist when he follows the evidence where it leads. “For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
