I choose freedom, not serfdom. I choose liberty not slavery. I choose to be the 1%.

Where do I start. I feel like I have a storage bins full of comments on what was thought to be settled science.
For over 1000 years people thought and assumed that the sun and planets and everything else revolved around the earth. I mean of the ancient guys said how could it be false.
OF course we all know that the earth revolves around the sun.
Have a good day.

focus on the family, science, The Truth Project 3 Comments
This is a review and a look at the fifth part of The Truth Project. This section is on science.
I have delayed writing this for several reasons. The first and foremost is that the truth project is frustrating me.
Del Tackett thesis is G-d made the universe and bad people try to say that it is not true. Do not listen to the bad people.
Once again Tackett moves into the us verses them arguments. What is true? Well a person who is philosophically minded will have one answer whereas the (evil music here) atheistic god hating scientist has a differing view.
This is where Tackett really runs into problems. He brings up philosophical naturalism. We use philosophy to understand reality. When we use philosophy we have to come the realization that something bigger then myself exists out there in the world. This thing made everything we see. Why do we say this? Because it would be silly say that I found this item and I came to the conclusion that given billions of years and rain and weather gave me this rock.
Of course it would be silly assume that this item, an arrowhead, just sprung into existence. Of course it was man made.
Therefore . . . how silly is it to assume that the next item is just sprung through a pattern of random factories.
After all a giraffe has a complex set vessels that go with the long neck so the head does not pop when it bends down for the drink. Here are some problems with the giraffe.
Which came first?
The long neck or the long legs? Both are needed for balance
The long neck or the long tongue?
The long tongue or the dark tongue?
The complex circulatory system or the long neck?
To give the thousands of generations that would be required to have the long neck to get to the high trees it would have starved. The first long neck giraffe would have popped its head at the first drink.
Philosophical naturalism can answer these question easily. However, Scientific naturalism cannot answer these questions.
Scientific naturalism is that we can only comment on what we can see and observe. This is most of science. Hence, science only concerns itself with what is, not what maybe.
Tackett’s other big idea is that Darwin has influenced everything. To this I agree. Darwin has influenced just about every field of study. Is this bad? Maybe, maybe not. However, there are questions by some about ditching Darwin because of the problems with Darwin.
The largest hole in Tackett’s approach is that all he says is evolution is wrong. Not so much why creation is right. Not to mention, Tackett never give scientific proof for his reasons, on a section of science.
In conclusion: Tackett again messes up with philosophical and scientific naturalism by overlapping the two. Second, the us against them is everywhere. Lastly, he does nothing to prove from a scientific basis that evolution is wrong.

We live in a world of Star Trek ethics.
Think of what we learned from star trek:
1. Do not interfere with other cultures. Okay so Bush cannot figure this one out.
2. Science is the religion.
3. Humans can do anything.
4. True Communism can only work in outer space.
5. Never harm another life form
Well, it looks like we cooked microbes on Mars. We love movies like War of the Worlds (first one not the remake). Think of it . . . we might of done it ourselves.
I am not to sure if I should laugh or cry at this.
