dakotayii says: Among Collins’s most controversial beliefs is that of “theistic evolution”, which claims natural selection is the tool that God chose to create man. In his version of the theory, he argues that man will not evolve further. “Scientifically, the forces of evolution by natural selection have been profoundly affected for humankind by the changes in culture and environment and the expansion of the human species to 6 billion members. So what you see is pretty much what you get.” “If one is willing to accept the existence of God or some supernatural force outside nature then it is not a logical problem to admit that, occasionally, a supernatural force might stage an invasion,” he says. if this is the language maybe the getting lost was in the translation .... -) <<<"....it is deeply disappointing that the shrill voices that occupy the extremes of this spectrum have dominated the stage for the past 20 years." Nice comment, syncopath! “But it is also a moment where I at least feel closeness to the creator in the sense of having now perceived something that no human knew before but God knew all alongThen why the anti-science from mainstream religion? If science is the tool that allows us to discover what god already knows... Why aren't religious beliefs changing to accommodate new facts about the world around us? Could it be that new facts that disprove the old dogmas mean the old dogmas could not have come from a divine source? Right there is the problem with the Collins thesis. |
