It Was an Accident ~ A Matter of Maths (Part 2)

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,
