Point to ponder
July 30, 2008
The always excellent David Warren provides
:
“There is order in the universe.” The reader, or any scientist, may accept or reject this assertion, which is consistent only with the religious point of view. If he accepts it, he will be expecting to find order, everywhere he looks in nature. If he rejects it, he should expect to find disorder everywhere.
In this sense, a strict Creationist will find himself more confident and comfortable with any discovery of empirical science, than a strict Darwinist. For the latter is constantly confronting examples of order, that he must be at pains to explain away.
Neither I nor David Warren is a Young Earth fetishist, but we do nevertheless accept that God’s hand has moved through and guided creation from its earliest moments, and that things like evolution are not explanations that do away with the “need for God” — rather, being mere processes, they are just tools which the Almighty saw fit to employ the use of in the creation of this, His rational and ordered universe.
