Looks like Creationism's been proved, we'll all have to give up now, OK?

Question

A third-year college student majoring in nutrition in Kentucky came up with this gem which supposedly disproves evolution:

"1) There is a mathematical and physical relationship between all (a) matter and (b) frequency,
2) There is a mathematical and physical relationship between all (b) frequency and (c) sound.
3) Therefore, there is a mathematical and physical relationship between all (a) matter and (c) sound.
By first order logic (the premises 1 and 2 are confirmed by all physics and chemistry to be true and equal) it can be shown that matter not only has a mathematical relationship to sound but a physical one as well. This proves that God did speak all things into existence."

This person is being hailed as a genius by all the relevant wackjob Christian groups.

When nonsense like this is being used as proof, how can Creationism have any credibility left? Do you actually expect the scientific community to believe nonsense like this?

Answer 1

The only thing he proved was that mathematical and physical relationships have inherent properties, sound, frequency and matter. There is no connection to god. He is making pre-suppositions here.

Answer 2

Creationists are destroying Christianity with their absurd stand on Genesis being "literal" when it's obvious to anyone who has actually studied the language, the culture and the history of the people that it is an allegory. The symbolism, metaphor and figurative language are readily apparent to all respectable theologians and biblical scholars. Evolution is a fact of life that is also accepted by the majority of Christians (and Jews) -- yet creationists make all of us look ignorant and out of touch with reality. It is not the atheists that are a problem for Christianity. If they have no faith, that is between them and God. It is the evolution deniers and the biblical literalists that make us all look delusional. That will not bring more souls to God.

Answer 3

I don't expect scientists to believe any such thing. I would question any scientist that tries to dodge Kalam's cosmological argument for the existence of God by postulating a new, theoretical universe which can only be modeled mathematically, and then only if you allow for the use of imaginary numbers in order to fudge the equations. Familiar with Kalam's cosmological argument? It is sound scientifically, mathematically and logically and leads irrestibly to the existence of God. Are you familiar with it?

Answer 4

They've lost all credibility. It's gone. Kaput. They're desperately scraping the bottom of the stupid arguments barrel hoping for a spoonful of...anything.
Have you seen the peanut butter argument yet? It, too, is a gem.

You can find it on You Tube. I can't post the link for some reason. Just put "Evolution" and "Peanut Butter" in "search". It'll come up. It's called "Peanut Butter-the Atheist's Nightmare."

Answer 5

Ok, everyone sees the ENORMOUS leap that it takes to get from "matter has a relationship to sound" to "the Christian god spoke everything into existence", right??

Answer 6

It sounds like a bunch of made up rubbish to me by people who are deperate to disprove science.

Answer 7

Ooh Kenyucky where world renown scientist like colonel sanders are from. Give me a break.

Answer 8

87% of Americans are Christians.

Answer 9

This is hilarious! Well, I just crossed any colleges in Kentucky off of my research list! (I'm going to have to start picking out colleges soon... ugh, I'm NOT looking forward to it.)

Answer 10

I am not a Christian, but I appreciate the logic.
