Sure, mutations are random. But this still doesn't mean "design changes occurred by pure blind luck". Mutations are inevitable and some of them being beneficial is inevitable. If you roll two dice millions of times, you're going to get a 7. It's not blind luck. And after millions of mutations...
Ok... The pre-existence of truth etc points to a purpose to life and a creator of purpose? And this is obvious? What pre-existence of truth? Why does this point to a being that creates things?
I think you're likely misunderstanding what I am stating. These were different biospheres. Humans not only came after, they never lived at the same time as millions of other creatures that no longer exist, like raptors, pteranodons, allosaurs, tyrannosaurs rex, etc.. At no time did all of these...
I don't want to talk about a lot of things all at once, so I'll focus on this. What exactly are you getting at when you say science is based on apriori assumptions, such as "truth exists" and "the law of noncontradiction"?
Also, do you believe that believing in a creator God or gods doesn't...
This reminds me of a book I saw called God's Debris: A Thought Experiment.
'God's Debris espouses a philosophy based on the idea that the simplest explanation tends to be the best. It proposes a form of pandeism and monism, postulating that an omnipotent god annihilated himself in the Big Bang...
The general concept of a god/creator is unfalsifiable. That's not exactly a good thing. It's extraordinarily easy to come up with unfalsifiable/untestable explanations. If I kill my neighbor, I can say the Devil did it and framed me. There is a good reason why unfalsifiable explanations are not...
I went to a Christian school from preschool to the 4th grade. At the age of 12 or so, when I became more aware of other religions and saw that their faith and conviction was like my own, I realized human beings were full of BS. In junior high and high school, when I learned about the big bang...
The fact of evolution is abundantly clear at this point in the 21st century. It's really hard to be a creationist these days without being woefully ignorant or very emotionally incompatible with it.
The only scientific explanation for the fossil record is evolution. The Cretaceous, Jurassic...
