Comment on Science, Methodological Naturalism, and Faith by wesley kime.

@Jared: In a fast run around the right end of this generally scientific and fittingly outspoken debate about Evolution vs. Creationism and theistic variations, you have undertaken to reproach Creationist presentations by unfavorably comparing them to Christ’s vocabulary and message which you represent as vanilla tame and politically correct, devoid of unsettling expressions of opposition or oppugnancy, a convenient slant nowadays hugely favored. But this characterization of Christ’s locution is at odds with what He actually went around saying and crying in the temple – “thou fool,” “thou hypocrites,” thou “whited sepulchers,” “ye blind leaders of the blind,” “ye generation of vipers,” “your father the devil,” “how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” (“Where in scripture?” you ask. For starters see Matthew 23:27, Matthew 23:33, Matthew 22:18, Luke 12:20.)

Science, Methodological Naturalism, and Faith
@Jared: “Lecturing others comes natural for you.” Praise be! The award-winning academic thing to do. The expected, beloved academic thing to do since the days of Aristotle and Plato and the Lyceum. And Dr. Pitman’s lectures are exemplary indeed, on a par, I’d say, with R. Dawkin’s, even Pauluc’s. Alas, nowadays lectures are going out of style in favor of PowerPoints with background music, flaming blogs. Fortunate is the forum that can boast such a natural lecturer.

@pauluc: What are you trying to do with my lovely, shiny, chlorophyll-green Astroturf? Mow it? Spray Roundup weedkiller on it?

Dr. Walter Veith and the anti-vaccine arguments of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche
Informative and stimulating, but proceeding into more confusion. A veteran of Moderna vaccinations, I trust, hope, they are effective, at least until otherwise. The whole business, being part of End Times, is in the hands of God, not humans expert and as degreed as they may be.


Brilliant and Beautiful, but Wrong
Brilliant, beautiful, and so right! Speaking of your presentation at LLU recently. Great to see you and your family (especially my namesake, Wes. God bless! WK


Complex Organisms are Degenerating – Rapidly
@Bob Helm: Dr. Sanford is very familiar to most of us. He was invited to speak at LLU several years ago and I and a great many were privileged to hear him.


Evolution from Space?
Hats off yet again to Sean for pursuing this topic as a scientist should, no nonsense, and in it’s proper setting — as a revival of one of the ancient ideas recently upgraded as a desperate alternative to the increasingly compelling intelligent design data. I had occasion to review panspermia a few years ago and as is my wont I found it more amusing than scientific. If you would like what was intended to be a satirical response to panspermia and other related curiosities you could check out: http://www.iessaythere.com/black-hole-humor.html
Meantime, Sean’s article is of far more cogent worth.


The Sabbath and the Covenants (Old vs. New)
As he has done on this site many times, Sean in his line-by-line-item response to C. White (not EG or EB) has, to my mind, clearly enunciated the issue and resolution.

When all the hermeneutics, quoting, and arguing and inordinately judgmental riposte are over, it comes down, as I understand it, to two things: 1) Whether the 7th day Sabbath (whether enunciated in the famous 10 commandments or otherwise) is still valid, and 2) Does the grace obtained by the vicarious sacrifice by the shedding of Christ’s blood or other divine process too deep for us to understand in this life, cover every sin automatically and without ado, altogether passively on our part, or is it only on condition that we first totally and deeply accept it? Other details always hassled forever are distractions.

I accept that I must accept it, wholly, actively, even with agony, with my whole being.
