they are coming to their senses. The marvelous human body and this beautiful earth and universe created by pure ' chance' is so rediculous it isnt even funny.

[Grimnir]

That would be pretty ridiculous. Good thing no one is arguing that.

[Grimnir]

PS: Mods, could you move this thread to open discussion and edit the title to match the article: "Creation scientists want out....". Pretty key distinction, there.

[Leanan]

Agreed. The subject line for this post is misleading. Nine scientists and engineers signed a petition. That is hardly a groundswell.

[J-Rod]

Yeah I don't see what this really has to do with PO...

Religious explanations for the natural world have been eroding for centuries, despite the best efforts of creation-minded individuals to convince us that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, is the center of the universe, and so forth. The origin of life on Earth is one of the few pieces of disputed territory left to them after a consistently losing record established since humans began to think for themselves.

Complexity frightens some people into retreating to the supernatural.

"Chance" didn't create anything. All it did was provide the raw material, sort of like a hunk of marble was the raw material for Michaelangelo. In nature's case, the sculptor was the Principle of Least Action acting upon natural gradients.

the big bang theory is flawed also. Thats like blowing up a library and having the websters dictionary form out of it.

Want to get out of a scientific theory? Simple. Just do as scientists always do: Design a better theory. Personally I would like to get out of the theory of general relativity. It restrict my choice for time-travels.

Perhaps the headline should have been

"Scientists are wanting out of Darwin's Theory in fear of research funding drying up due to "we create our own reality" administration".

However I would postulate that people who believe in intelligent design are the best evidence for there not being intelligent design.



So, remind me, why did God make and bury all those dinosaur bones, without using the explanation "because he moves in mysterious ways".

The Judeo-Christian creation myth is only one of hundreds of creation myths created by just about every tribe and civilization since time began. Christianity has a history of railing against rational thought as witnessed by Galileo, the flat earth, age of the earth, etc. It has also either exterminated many of the tribes and civilizations that cultivated other creation myths or converted them. The final frontier for them is to either exterminate or convert scientists who foster the Darwinian theory. However, it will be a hot day in heaven when the Vatican launches a space ship, finds a cure for cancer. or comes up with a reasonable energy source for our collective future.

God may not play dice with the universe but humans do their darndest to make it a crap shoot!

Wow - this thread has evolved considerably, but I believe natural selection will prove that this line of evolution is yet another dead end.

[Zentric]

More matter and less art, there, Specky. Again, what is your answer to Carlhole's question?

And is it consistent with what you see here ...

We've heard your endless tirades on the subject. So, come on, Specky, it's your time to shine...
