Subject: Most stuff just wouldn't happen by chance


cropsey, il 61731
I don't think you have take a spiritual or scientific stance (it takes more faith to believe in post modern science anyway) to note that there is natural selection and there are mutations. However, it only goes so far and then you get to things like - why are there 2 sexs? (hard to get that to happen by chance) Why isn't there just piles of genetic throw offs everywhere? - we find a few bones that look like people running around today, but not the kind of genetic dump you would expect from all the genetic mistakes.

Though there was and still is a lot of good science being done to try to figure out how we are made and how we work, Darwin and others were motivated in part to disprove God. If science sticks to the scientific method (not necessarily the Carl Sagan method) it works great and at some point they find design - the odds of what has happened on earth being purely by chance are too high - ask a mathematician - when the odds of something happening by chance go past a certain point, it means it won't happen. Too much of what has happened can not be explained by chance since it wouldn't have happened.

No matter how many monkeys you put in a room with typewriters, none of them will end up typing up the Bible. You could say there is a statisical possibility, but it's far beyond the chances of something actually happening by itself.

Enough of this crop talk,

Pat
