Stormbringer's Thunder

We can still pray in the USA. Unless we let that right get taken away from us, too. Want an irony? Madalyn Murray O'Badhairday led the charge for getting prayer taken out of public schools. William J. Murray , her son who was the focal point of all this, is a Christian and the director of the Religious Freedom Coalition. Reminds me of people like Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel who started out as atheists and wanted to disprove Christianity. They became converted and are now defending the faith. I suspect that is the reason that most atheists are intellectually dishonest — they don't want it to happen to them. After all, if they give up the hate and rage, they think they would be at a loss as to what to do with themselves. Addendum: Rev. Graham talks about the slap in the face that Obama gave his rights. Anyway, on to the video:

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. — Carl Sagan Buona sera. I was going to go for something lighter, but Lee Strobel fueled more thoughts in me about evolution and random chance. I have always been amazed when scientists and anti-theists will say ridiculous things like the Carl Sagan (rhymes with "pagan") quote at the top. They will claim that belief in God is not only irrational, but that it takes away the wonder of the universe. Let me ask you something: Which is sillier, to investigate the way God has performed his wonders, or to investigate the dead ends of a philosophy that is based entirely on random chance? When a biochemist examines the intricacies of, say, a single cell, he or she is faced with astonishing complexity and evidence of design. And yet, there are people who b...

Buon giorno. Today's visit will not be loaded with references and proofs. Instead, it will be a philosophical discussion to spur mental activity within people who are actually capable of rational thought. This was sparked by Lee Strobel's book, The Case for a Creator. An atheistic journalist with a background in law, Strobel tells of his discussions with extremely qualified scientists and how he lost his faith in atheism. Yeah, Zeke, I know that's what you're afraid of, but carry on, anyway, willya? The Case for a Creator goes against my grain in that it takes an old earth view, and I am a young earth Creationist and Catastrophist (read: global flood at the time of Noah). But he still manages to bring up some extremely powerful evidences against random chance and evolutionism. This is not an actual book review, and I want to make it clear that I'm putting my words in here as well as Strobel's words. In my own thinking, scientists are rejecting establ...
