Greetings Dear Reader,
One of the things that those who propose the existence of an
Intelligent Designer must do is be honest at every turn. We cannot rely on old data from a time when the
authority of our texts was widely accepted.
This history is littered with those who bashed science instead of
honestly walking beside scientists and learning from them. We instead created a fortress mentality and
did not give research the respect it deserves.
The enmity shown those who accept intelligent design as a possibility is
partly deserved.
As I read the literature that we have produced to support intelligent
design and creation it saddens me that in some cases we have produced outright
falsehood and sold it to the masses to delude them. It also causes our detractors to question the
credibility of those who produce honest research and thinking on the subject. We
need to own our failures and move forward with honesty understanding that we
will have to earn the right to be heard.
This leads me to the second part of my thoughts on maths and
evolution. We need to stop saying that
it is mathematically impossible.
Remember that I believe in intelligent design. I think that the infinite regression required
to get to the beginning of things without a prime mover is statistically
improbable. That does not mean I can say
it is impossible. Since we cannot imperially
prove that we are correct we must allow for the honest investigation of all possibilities.
Since all that we have comes down to faith it must be that
we allow honest open discussion of every theory. When we do then we leave those among our
detractors with one less weapon against us.
We fulfill our prime directive to love them no matter what. This is perhaps one of the finest ways to put
forth truth that is not measurable or provable.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
