I would like to comment in the "Rants and Raves" column in regard to the aforementioned article published in your Wired magazine edition 14.11. I am a scientist, living on the west coast where the author states is "possibly the social group that is least likely among all Americans to be religious", and I am a Christian. I am constantly amazed that "well educated" people in the sciences can overlook the simple facts of the discipline in which they themselves participate. The very foundation of the sciences are that, simply stated; 1) matter cannot be created, and 2) everything goes from order to disorder.
To look at these concepts scientifically we need to know what "science" is. Science is looking at the evidence we have around us using each of our senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) to investigate the world around us. Using the simple basics of their own discipline, scientists should be able to discern that there is matter present and if there is matter present, and matter cannot be created by nature or man, then the matter we can clearly observe, came from outside of the influence of man and nature. Furthermore, we can also use science to prove that evolution is in fact impossible. Science says everything goes from order to disorder, evolution says everything goes from disorder to order. Look at the world around us and show me evidence of anything that goes from disorder to order. Your body, home, car, clothes...they all start out orderly and with time become disorderly.
I find it very interesting that this article actually fulfills a biblical prophecy written 2000 years ago. These "scientists" discussed in the article were predicted by the apostle Paul in II Timothy 3:3-4 where it states "for the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn away from the Truth and turn aside to myths". These "educated" men want to teach what others want to hear... so they can do as they please without having any moral recourse. These men become successful because they are saying what others "itching ears" want to hear.
Thank you for publishing this article, it has been a great tool for me as I show my children and others the "stories" written thousands of years ago in the Bible being fulfilled in front of our very eyes. Keep up the good work. As Jesus once said, "I am coming quickly, like a thief in the night when no one is ready".
Thanks again, will I see you on the other side of life?
