I am throughly enjoying my new book - 'Nonsense of a High Order - The Confused and Illusory World of the Atheist' by Rabbi Moshe Averick. (I highly recommend getting this book to Christians, interested Agnostics & truth seeking Atheists alike) The ideas that people such as Dawkins & Hitchens has brought up have been condemned to the trash by Averick and I wonder if they'll ever respond to this book and would be interested if they did, for this book is very very good in its criticism and its own ideas.
One thing, at the end of a chapter, Averick linked to is this, it made me laugh!

On this website they offer a prize of $50,000 a year for the next 20 years for anyone who can propose a 'highly plausible mechanism for the spontaneous rise of genetic instructions in nature sufficient to gave rise to life. To win, the explanation must be consistent with empirical biochemical, kinetic, and thermodynamic concepts...and be published in a well-respected, peer-reviewed science journal'.
No 'highly plausible' explanation has been presented for the naturalistic origin of life. The evidence all points to a supernatural creator and once Scientists stop making assumptions that there is no God and start testing assumptions like they are supposed to then maybe they will find something they didn't want to find and thought they never could.
If you do have a highly plausible explanation, go and enjoy the $50,000 a year for the next 20 years!
Of course no one has been able to provide a suitably detailed hypothesis to explain how life began, but this does not mean that an explanation will never be available though - in the past things like volcanoes and weather could not be explained so were attributed to Gods. The origins of life could easily be something that will be understood in the future. For now you need to remember that the prize would also not have been claimed if it asked for evidence that the Bible creation stories were true.
ReplyDeleteHi Simon, thanks for your post. I'd like to attribute my confidence down to knowing Christ. Because I know God, I know that all things will lead to Him.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Big Bang was first thought of, Scientists denied it because they didn't agree with the Bible, which claimed the world had a beginning. They eventually found the Bible was right on that one and have now found the Bible was right in claiming Creation happened in a matter of seconds. I don't think this is a coincidence and that as well as there being a chance they could find a naturalistic origin of life, there is also a chance that they could find it was a supernatural creator :-)
Hey Mike,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your post. I am gratified that you are enjoying the book and getting a good laugh at the same time. Thanks for your kind words.
sincerely, Moshe Averick
