NEW CASTLE —
Editor, The News:
“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1).
Why do those who believe in godless evolution go bananas at the mention of intelligent design?
Because they can’t conceive of an intelligence higher than theirs. They are implicitly arrogant. They may in fact be highly intelligent, but the Bible calls them fools.
The principle of causality — that every effect must have an adequate producing cause — is obvious to every rational human being, except the godless evolutionist.
But even atheists will grant that cakes, skyscrapers, books, sculptures and computers are products of intelligent design. That is because the intelligent designers are humans.
They can’t apply this logic to trees, plants, birds, animals, fish and human beings because that would require belief in superhuman intelligence. So they seize upon Charles Darwin and propagate ridiculous theories of how mindless atoms, without plan, purpose or will have produced by evolutionary processes requiring millions of years that infinite variety and remarkable forms of life that now exist.
Can beings having mental, moral, spiritual and emotional capacities be explained by materialistic forces devoid of these qualities?
Insisting that evolution is fact, not theory, many educators require that it be taught to school children to the exclusion of the spurned notion that a supernatural God planned and created the universe and its contents.
