Eric Metaxas Interviews Stephen Meyer on Science and Faith

Ғылым және технология

According to a nationwide survey, more than two-thirds of atheists and one-third of agnostics believe that “the findings of science make the existence of God less probable,” while nearly half of self-identified theists believe “the findings of science are neutral with regard to the existence of God.” But what if there is another option? What if the discoveries of science actually lend support to belief in God?

    Black holes are still a theoretical proposal. The evidence for such a massive gravitational structure simply is not there yet if it ever will be. It rather seems to be a massive hole in the explanation of how gravity really affects observed galactic phenomena. And there are lots of them. Very different and extraordinary. I think Hawkins was only sincere as in his God-denial, as a scientist, he had to bend some equations to favor his presupposed conclusions. I would do that too if I wanted to disgrace God from creation.

    Brain and Mind are connected but separate. Subconscious is a part of Mind and part of Brain, but mostly Mind. Consciousness, self-awareness, awareness of others is mostly Mind, while instincts like self-preservation are mostly Brain. Conscience, on the other hand, was not something Adam and Eve were created with. Conscience means 'with knowledge' and was the consequence of eating the forbidden fruit.🎓 Mind = Soul😇

    If we knew all the answers to our questions, we would not need God. We would be PROUD. If we were proud we would not be accepted in God’s presence. Pride is sin. He therefore, does not allow us to know everything, and says we must live by faith. Faith is a protection by God’s mercy to keep us also from creating another situation that might destroy us. The Tower of Babel demonstrates what happens when we do not fear God, and do everything our flesh wants to do, influenced by an Enemy who would direct us toward annihilation. We, who have His Spirit are aware of the Lord’s wisdom that is able to keep us alive, if we respect Him before our own reasoning. His Spirit in us desires to do things His way, to support life and all the things God puts us in charge of at the beginning of the human existence. But many people have not understood God and His goodness toward us. Obeying Him and cooperating with the principles and commands He gives, is what we are not appreciating or doing. There are few people who are willing to give God first place in their lives. When He is given first place, we are “worshipping” and God honors those who are obedient. True worship = obedience. Obedience is always “blessed” by God. One of the biggest problems in America, for example, is that most Christians THINK that God is 1st place in their lives, BUT there are so many distractions away from God that people are entrenched in worldly wisdom and worldly entertainment, to escape their “fear of death”. Fear of not being able to protect their bodies, keeps them running to other people, places, and things, so that they don’t live in the Truth. The only way to live according to the requirements of life is to live by the Truth. God has given us this TRUTH. The Enemy does not want us to live, and continually distracts us from Truth, and Jesus Christ who is Truth. Mathematics is the language of truth, God’s language. All physical laws that are measured by mathematics present the truth. Truth is stability. Jesus as the sustainer of the heavens and the earth is the stabilizer of everything. Jesus said, “i am the Way, that leads to TRUTH, that leads to Life”. When Jesus. Said to build your house upon the Rock, He was explaining how Truth is the Stability of life. He. Was very. Specific. WhenHe said,, you cannot worship. Mammon. At the same time as God.. this was also. Interesting that. He explained the. Proven psychology, you. Cannot even. Think of more. Than one. Thing at. A. Time.. to put mammon. And God. In. Your focus,, is not. Possible. These people are so Proud. And arrogant.. Psychology. Has laws as well. God. Has. Given me. A beautiful gift. Of. Opening my. Mind. To. So many Spiritual understandings that. Are amazing to ME.. i am glad to. Be able to share what i. Have learned. Even in the. Last year..you all need to. Know these things,, because. Our time is not. Getting to. Be more. And. Unfortunately, many teachers have not. Dedicated their lives to follow. God..or. know. Him so. That they will be able to grow. In their maturity.. when we get to. Heaven, we should be ready. For responsibilities. That our godly. Training makes us ready to do. one. Of those things is to “”judge angels”, as Paul has taught..it is also good to. Know that Romans 12:2. Is. To prepare us to take our minds with us. When we leave this. World.. our minds should be ready to live in a. Perfect heavenly realm,, under the Truth. Of God. Heaven. Should be. A place. Where truth is always accepted,, loved and. Respected.. people there. Always agree, because. God. Will prepare. This place. For perfection..those who will be there are His Children.

    "You believe because you have seen. Happy are those who believe without having seen" Even without the wonderful insights, research and bravery of people like Stephen Meyer, James Tour, John Lennox and many more, I know I am and always have been more than just the sum of my parts. I am unique in a world of billions of unique people, not a product of a manufacturing conveyor belt of evolution. Uniqueness of individuality is impossible if evolution is the reason I exist. All science will inevitably lead to the real Holy Grail of the origins of life, the house of our Lord God, Creator of all things, seen and unseen. I am not an intellectual of any worth but at least have the wisdom to skip the queue and take the path provided by Our Lord Jesus. "Suffer not the little children to come unto me---, for unless you believe as a child------".

    There's only one thing that bothers me about these 2 guys, especially Steven Meyer, and that's how they refer to evos as practicing "materialism" when most are in fact practicing "naturalism." Neo-Darwinianism today is a faith-based, fully-fledged RELIGION, based solely on NATURALISM. Although similar, naturalism excludes any and all experimentation, hypothesis, and/or reasoning if it so much as hints at a supernatural causation - no matter how stupid their experimentation, hypothesis and/or reasoning might look or sound. Consider the statement below made by Michael Ruse, the leading evolutionary philosopher in the United States today ... Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion-a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in this one complaint-and Mr [sic] Gish is but one of many to make it-the literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.“ ...Evolution therefore came into being as a kind of secular ideology, an explicit substitute for Christianity.” National Post, pp. B1,B3,B7 May 13, 2000." Now, here's the leading evolutionary philosopher in America, freely and without question, admitting that EVOLUTION IS INDEED A RELIGION, yet it's not only taught from preschool to grad school, it's also profusely funded by our government, when BOTH of these actions are BOTH llegal and unconstitutional! THIS NEEDS TO STOP!! OUR KIDS SHOULD BE TAUGHT BOTH CREATION AND EVOLUTION, OR NEITHER. In my not-so-humble of an opinion I feel that we should teach them neither of these world views since BOTH ARE RELIGIOUS IN NATURE. The kids should only be taught EMPIRICAL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that is known to be 100% TRUE and ABSOLUTELY NO hypothetical conjecture on EITHER side of the debate. Then, and only then, will America even have a chance to be "great" again. As it stands now, our deMOCKracy is warping into an even sicker form of NAZISM. Don't believe me? Then stop what you're doing right now and tell your kids and/or grandkids how you condone the same sick ideologies that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao used last century to murder 100s of millions of innocent men, women, and children. Because ALL 3 WERE DEVOUT EVOLUTIONISTS and used Darwin's evil and racist fairy tale as an excuse to murder their own people ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE. Go ahead, tell them how their great-grandfathers fought and died fighting Hitler, and explain why you want tthem to stand beside you while you piss on the graves of our fallen heroes.

    Darwinism - it is an inappropriate term for modern evolutionary theory. Creationists use the term Darwinism, often pejoratively, to imply that the theory has been held as true only by Darwin and a core group of his followers, whom they cast as dogmatic and inflexible in their belief. In modern biology almost no one relies solely on Darwin's original ideas... Yet the choice of terminology isn't random They want you to stop thinking of evolution as an actual science supported by verifiable facts and logical arguments and to start thinking of it as a dogmatic, atheistic ideology akin to Marxism ...so sad...
