Choosing Faith

In the second chapter, part two, “Faith, Facts, and the Intelligence of Choice,” we do engage the intellect on both sides of the argument for and against faith. In answer to who created God, there can only be one ultimate Source, since nothing can create itself. So we have one all-knowing Source for everything. Otherwise, we would have either chaos (assuming the Source has no mind)…or nothing at all. Since clearly we have order, and clearly we have the opposite of nothing at all, GOD IS.

I refer you to Stephen C. Meyer’s Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt. The first text considers the origin of first life–not evolution, but life from its first moment–requiring the establishment of new biological “information” on the molecular level, a first appearance of the physical or chemical signature in DNA and RNA, but having no scientifically explainable origin.

The second book considers the growing peer-reviewed, scientific literature that raises increasing doubt that neo-Darwinism explains “macroevolution.” Indeed, it cannot explain the mechanism of “macroevolution” (if it even exists) on the molecular level. Darwin’s Doubt analyzes Darwin’s two basic hypotheses: universal common ancestry and natural selection. Unfortunately, the more recent literature from the scientific community raising these issues has not surfaced sufficiently in high school and college textbooks and the popular literature. Furthermore, several atheistic or agnostic scientists continue to promote neo-Darwinism, even though they do not understand how it works on the molecular level. Consequently, the Darwinian myth continues.
