Dealing with Darwin and 'soul' survivors
We have a fascinating, passionate debate continuing at our Community Conversation page about creationism vs. evolution. It's sparked, of course, by the recent opening of the Creationism Museum in Petersburg, Ky. -- just two exits west of CVG Airport on Int. 275.
I call your attention to a package of stories in today's New York Times on the latest scientific thinking about evolution. A link to the main page is here. Most fascinating, I thought, was this piece on the human soul that describes recent findings on something that seems impossible to study, but perhaps not.
These articles may not change anyone's mind, but they're worth reading for anyone who has ever hungered for answers to the most basic questions of all.

Post a Comment*perhaps more telling than all this fluff about the creationism circus is the recent poll buried in the paper showing that a majority of fundamentalists think its a bad joke.
the original material for the poll can be found at:

It's truly tragic how people desperately search for the origins and meaning of life and our place in it, yet when they're told, they reject it and continue to seek fallicies and theories, rather than accept the truth. We just can't seem to accept the fact there is a God, and He made all of this, and us. How tragic.
Some seem to think God has limits and can only do certain things. Could God have been the one to set off the Big Bang? Science can't even consider that possibility, oh no. That would mean we're not the highest being in the universe, and mankind's hubris just can't handle that concept.
We can believe in the paranormal, in ghosts, aliens and UFO's, in psychic abilities and other things unexplained by science, but we can't accept Jesus Christ or the concept of a God. How rational is that, to accept some supernatural things and not others, especially the things that have the most evidence of reality?
God exists. One doesn't need scientific proof when one has a personal relationship with God, because He clears our minds of the doubts and makes His presence known inside our heads and hearts. That's why followers of Christ are so adamant; we know without question that God is...because He's inside each of our hearts, as He said He would be. That's not a logical sentence that can be explained. But as surely as there is wind, and with far more conviction than any UFO sighting, we KNOW there is a God. Don't hate us for our knowledge or faith. Instead, why not check it out for yourself? Not church, not religion, none of that man-made stuff...just God. Afraid you'll find out we're right? Better to be afraid you'll miss out.

Two comments:
First: the "passionate" community discussion of the cretin...er...creation museum appears to have disappeared. I get a blank page. So much for that...maybe tech will wake up and fix it, unless it's lost for good.
Second: indygrad, your entire set of comments are based upon a silly fantasy. There is no god. It's just pure nonsense. You claim claim the existence of some deity but it has no more validity than mental defectives claiming that the world is 6,000 years old, nor that the tooth fairy exists.
THAT is the fallacy. Once you drop the silliness and get in touch with reality, THEN you can know truth. You don't need to reject reason to know it.
