The truth is that we do not know how life formed.
As for the desperation of those who would claim that a transfinite (greater than your usual infinite) number of parallel universes must exist, and that we happen to be in the one with convenient anthropological constants, it shows just how crazed some so called 'scientists' are.
As for Evolution theory, certainly the time needed for the endless happy random molecular events required by evolution has to be longer than any estimated age of the Universe.
There are also a negligible number of actual examples - compared to the mind boggling number needed by evolution - of natural selection that can be pointed to.
One just has to read a few paragraphs of those working in the evolution of consciousness to see just how lost evolution theory is.
The Coalition so called Government has certainly not missed out on the chance to insult Science by declaring the vagaries of evolution as 'truth', Science today being nothing more than the process of groups or individuals declaring their intellectual superiority.
Claiming that we have the answer when we don't is the greatest insult to Science, and boy, have there been any number of insults against Science in this age of intellectual darkness.
As the Rev says, it's good to see the old philosophical views being dusted off and presented as new. His sermon reminds me of nothing so much as the idealistic (used in a technical sense) views of Bishop Berkeley, so ably summed up by Ronald Knox's poem:
ReplyDeleteThere was a young man who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
To think that the tree
Should continue to be
When there's no one about in the quad."
Reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God."
So is the Reverend a figment of my mind? If I die will he continue to exist? I think we should be told!!
Oh such nostalgia!
Truth be told, I always thought Aristotle didn't give enough thought before dismissing ad hominem - even when Blair sounded so logical you knew he had to be wrong!! And if politics is the language of lies, any other argument against the Politician than ad hominem would be demeaning to one...
