Read this book, then come back and we can discuss it
from a more educated perspective.

Title: The Fingerprint of God
Author: Hugh Ross
ISBN: 0883686279

I've already read all that "Late great planet earth, biblethumping
drivel by psedo-scientists and I haven't got time to waste on that.
I've got objective books by Steven Hawkins, A brief moment in time,
Robert Jastrow etc to read.


IOW, don't confuse you with facts; your mind is made up.
Whassamatter, are you scared of a scientific worldview that allows for
the possibility that the universe didn't just happen by accident? Or
is your entire self-worth bound up in believing that you are merely
the product of random molecular collisons? But that's ok, go ahead
and keep your Foggles on. Just keep a watch out for a vacuum failure.

Corrie, Corrie, Corrie,
Nope, in fact, if you'll re-read I said quite the opposite. I said it
appears to me the universe is part of a greater grand design. See?
You're so sucked into this bianary view of an argument you can't
comprehend what's being said. Pac's not a biblethumper huh? O.K.
that means he's one of them then! Get out the holy water and exercize
his ass!

Now it's true I can't spell "pseudo." But my comprehension of history
is concentrated on accepted science, not mythology which you keep
using for reference.


But why don't you educate yourself on this one:
Title: On the Origin of Species
Author: Charles Darwin

You're a little behind the times. Most evolutionary scientists have
moved beyond Darwin's simplistic "survival of the fittest" model,
seeing as it fails to adequately explain the evidence. Stephen Jay
Gould had to invent the concept of "punctuated equilibria," but
recently that's come under fire, too.

You simply don't know what your talking about Corrie. Darwin was and
is considered a giant today not because of the details of the new the
embryonic science which he gave birth to, but because: in the face of
Christian intolerance, he dared to print his observations about
finches in particular and his conclusions about natural selection to
the rest of the fanatical and ignorant world. I can tell you have not
read this great work.


But evolution is beside the point. Whether or not species
spontaneously transform into other species (and there's precious
little hard evidence to support the notion)

Let's just say God transforms species then, O.K? Oh Ye of little
faith! Do you own a cat or a dog? Those weren't around till man
started selectively breeding coyotes and wildcats. Send me one of
their puppies and I will cross-breed it with my little Dahshound (sp?)
You will witness a micro example of natural selection in action.
Pigeon breeders in England invent new forms of life all the time.
Birds with feathers on their feet etc. Evolution, my good Christian
is all around you, but you are bound and determined to convince us
that it is a simple tree you are embracing and not the first leg of a
much much more complex giant elephant. ;-)
