A good friend and Brother in Christ sent me a DVD recently calledThe Privileged Planet. The search for purpose in the universe. It makes some really good points about how conditions have to be just right for us to be able to exit on earth. You can see a clip from the movie
here. Here's a link to
a review about it and some snips from it. snipAlbert Einstein once remarked that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe was that it was comprehensible. For the past few centuries, no one has offered a satisfactory non-theological explanation as to why this should be so. In recent years, however, a small group of scientists and thinkers have decided to try a novel approach combining science with theology, albeit not of the fundamentalist genre. The result has been the growing and increasingly influential "Intelligent Design" (ID) movement, a major project of the Seattle-based Discovery Institute,snip"Is it possible that this immense, symphonic system of atoms, fields, forces, stars, galaxies, and people is the result of a choice, a purpose or intention, rather than simply some inscrutable outworking of blind necessity or an inexplicable accident? If so, then it's surely possible that there could be evidence to suggest such a possibility . . . "Perhaps we have also been staring past . . . a signal revealing a universe so skillfully crafted for life and discovery that it seems to whisper of an extra-terrestrial intelligence immeasurably more vast, more ancient, and more magnificent than anything we've been willing to expect or imagine." end snipsJay Richards is one of the men who wrote the book that this DVD is based on, I listened to him talk on an interview about more books that he has written. He started out believing in evolution and his wife didn't as he attempted to prove it too her he kept coming up with more and more holes in the theories that he believed in so he started writing books about it. He mention in this interview about whale blow holes, how could they have been caused by evolution when they are unique, there is nothing else like them for them to have evolved from. I think that there are some teachers and scientists starting to open their eyes to see the flaws in what they have been taught and it will lead them to God.
Thank you Karen for the link to that clip,I enjoyed it and will surely get that,I have a link here to full video on Michael Behe's video on the flagellar motor, although, the argument kennith Miller purposed from the work of Barry Hall, has stollen front stage with the acadimic jurnals, claiming reducabillity to Bacterial Flagellum, yet this is not correct!! and the Alledged Pragmatic instatution of the scientific Acadamy has swept the findings and the discloser of hall out of the jurnals....I encourage all to watch this. the Dover trial was based on Behe's discovery.
