Intelligent design??? Irreducable complexity??? Total BS!!! An embarrasment for thinking Christians.?

Question

How can Christians that believe in creation according to the Bible be taken seriously? If you think Earth was created 6,000 years ago, you're a moron. I have nothing nice to say about such a dumb idea. Liberty University has on display dinosaur bones that are supposedly 3,000 years old! Wow. Intelligent design is the worst excuse for science I've ever heard of. Personally, I would be embarrased if a relative believed in ID And irreducable complexity is exactly the same. It's sort of like taking probability and working it backwards, it's absolutely dumb (And it's been proven wrong numerous times.) Intelligent design is an embarrasment to the Church and all knowledgable, reasonable and logical Christians. Basically, I.D. has all its roots in the idea that lack of evidence is evidence itself.That is the most unscientific approach I've ever heard of. I'm frustrated because a HUGE amount of Americans believe in ID. Mark my words, America will fall behind Europe with this train of thought

Answer 1

I agree that it is an idiotic approach and amazingly there seems to be a wave of this kind of thought.

I wonder if it is people and an intrinsic desire to not have to think for themselves? Almost like communism.

I am Christian, but I do not take the Bible literally. Jesus taught in parables and I think we need to view the Bible stories in the context and language that they were originally written to gain the best understanding and guidance in our lives today.

Any priest or pastor out there who is peddling this kind of thought is not of God.

Answer 2

IMAGINE that you are walking in a barren desert, devoid of all life. Suddenly you come upon a beautiful house. It is air-conditioned and has heating, plumbing, and electricity. Its refrigerator and cupboards are filled with food. Its basement contains fuel and an abundance of other supplies. Would you say that all of it got there just by chance? Would you be thankful if the owner asked you to stay in that house and enjoy it?

2 Well, this delightful earth on which we live is just like that house. Long before mankind was created, our loving God prepared this earth to become our home and he provided everything that we would need to make us happy. (Isaiah 45:12, 18) Should we not be thankful to this generous Provider? He is the One who inspired the writing of the Bible’s words at Hebrews 3:4: “Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.” The shame is that selfish men have vandalized and are ruining God’s handiwork on earth.—Deuteronomy 32:3-5.

3 Even to opponents of the truth, the apostle Paul could say concerning God: “He did not leave himself without witness in that he did good, giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts to the full with food and good cheer.” (Acts 14:17) How much more so Jehovah can bless those who serve him in integrity! Though the hardships and burdens of these “last days” may press in on us, there is the glorious hope that in the not-far-distant future the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly provide a veritable banquet of good things for those who love him, wiping the tears from all faces.—2 Timothy 3:1; Isaiah 25:6-8.

The Marvel of the Human Intellect

4 For several years, scientists have been trying to make computers that actually think. But now they admit that they are blocked at the very first step. Why so? Well, they confess that the structure of the human eye has them beaten. If they cannot imitate the eye, how can they start on the brain, and how are they ever going to reproduce the faculty of mind? What a marvel the human brain is! Every second, a hundred million bits of information pour into this organ to be sifted, sorted, and applied in intelligent living. The most sophisticated computer cannot even begin to compare with that. What a fine testimony to the surpassing wisdom of the loving God who made us! We can be happy that our Maker and Former, Jehovah God, endowed us with intelligence and that we may use our brains in learning the “great and incomprehensible things” that he reveals to us in his own due time and way.—Jeremiah 33:2, 3.

5 The miracle of the human brain starts in the womb, with brain cells beginning to form just three weeks after conception. These multiply in spurts, sometimes up to a quarter of a million cells a minute. After birth, the baby’s brain triples in size the first year, showing it to be far, far different from the brain of any animal, including the ape. Soon the human child can handle languages, reason on matters, appreciate moral issues and spiritual values. How could these faculties ever have evolved from brute beasts? Appropriately, Elihu said concerning our God and Grand Maker: “He is the One teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, and he makes us wiser than even the flying creatures of the heavens.”—Job 35:10, 11.

6 This marvel, the human intellect, harmonizes with Genesis 1:27, which states: “God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.” Should we not be thankful for the way God has made us? David was. He praised Jehovah, saying: “I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful.” (Psalm 139:14)

Answer 3

hey, you sound like those "flat earth" folks a few years back...

be as hard-headed and opinionated as you like, but i suggest you leave a little tiny corner of your little tiny brain for consideration of other theories.

it's a b*tch when you get proven wrong...you don't have any room to gracefully say it was remotely possible.

Answer 4

I think that Evolution's Idea that we all came to Life By Means of BLIND NECESSITY is Just That. BLIND AND IGNORANT ! ! !

The very Air that YOU Breath is PROOF IN ITSELF that THERE IS A God ! ! !

The real reason that people don't want to Believe in God is Because they WANT TO DO THINGS THERE WAY ! ! !

So do things YOUR WAY a LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
