Thomas the Rhymer BS: One compelling reason for a god? (353* d) RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god? 01 Apr 07


Compelling?

Well, for starters... I believe in God. Not quite compelling around here, to be sure... But it's probably the very best I can do.

Then... there's this 'idea' of evolution. Yeah, right... just some 'theory' called evolution, and it's ALL about Charles Darwin... ;^) ... well, no, not really. A casual study of Geography is all that's needed to get 'on track' about the history of the earth... and it's inhabitants.

What 'makes' evolution happen? One could say that the 'evolution' of the automobile over the last 100 years is just capitalism at work... doing 'that thing it does'... But I'd be likely to point out that it is indeed possible that both 'evolution' and 'the advancement of technology' are not only related... but that they are together part of the 'hidden hand' of God within us... and all around us.

Knock on the door of your average 'crest of the wave' scientist, engineer, musician, artist, teacher, lawyer, politician, social worker, designer, doctor... etc... and I'll bet they'll have to admit that they don't actually know exactly where those 'new ideas' came from...

But then... I believe.

If you don't, my telling you about it would be a bit like trying to describe my latest musical improvisation to a computer... ;^)

For me, science and God are not even remotely mutually exclusive.

More on this later...
