from the heelers prayers

 

Me: "Oh Lord, heavenly Lord, gracious and true Lord, grant unto your poor servant..."

God: "Go on. Ask anything. Anything you want. House in the country. A million dollars. Worldwide fame. Anything at all. As long as it's not a superb, seductive, sensual, sexual woman."

Me: "Oh pooh."

the death knell for atheistic darwinism

 

The chemistry scientist James Tour has been giving a lecture series on the internet about atheistic claims that life began spontaneously by chance via a process dubbed abiogenesis.

I get the odd feeling that his lectures are an historical moment.

True, the lectures are steeped in concepts that may seem obscure for the broader population.

Yet the truth is accessible at some level to all of us.

What is clear is that James Tour equals in knowledge, scientific insight, and reasoning many of those pseudo scientific atheists whose claims he clinically and precisely challenges.

I've never taken it personally when atheists hijacked science, pretending their tenuous barely coherent postulations were certainties, and hiding their inverted atheistic credo behind arcane obfuscating assertions or untestable rhetorical flourishes, using all these in place of meaningful conceptualising to prevent proper critiques of their position.

Look.

It's okay to be an atheist.

But when atheists pretend atheism is inherent to science and then pretend to have demonstrated something such as the creation of a cell from physical processes which they have never come close to demonstrating in theory or actuality, in a laboratory or in an equation, in rational discussion or anywhere else, and then sabotage the careers of scientists who do not agree with them as has been routinely happening, why then we have a problem.

And I did always feel that their promotion of speculative darwinian atheism as a proven theory represented the elevation of rhetoric above reason, and diminished all of us.

No scientist is an island entire of itself.

Every scientist is a part of human discourse and the search for truth, a component of the main.

Because scientists are engaged in mankind not above it.

Their every pseudo intellectual dictat diminishes me.

Therefore Richard Dawkins, do not send to know for whom the bell tolls.

It tolls for thee.
