A Letter To The Editor in the Calgary Herald today, headlined "Proof of God:"
Evolution is a theory. For it to be considered a fact, the process would need to be observable and repeatable. Evolution is neither.
However, does evolution as a theory adequately explain the origins of life, given what we know?
Unfortunately, no. Evolution violates Newton's Second Law, which states that in a spontaneous process, the entropy (or disorder) of the universe will always increase. It also does not mesh with what we know about biochemistry.
Take the interaction of DNA and RNA within the human cell. DNA cannot be produced unless RNA is present. RNA cannot be produced without the blueprints from DNA. You cannot have one without the other. Examples that point to the design of life on Earth are endless.
Michael Behe's Theory of Irreducible Complexity states that in a system composed of many parts, such as a human cell, if any of those parts are removed, the system will stop functioning. Therefore, if all parts of the system are not present, it will never begin to function. This level of complexity is evidence of design.
An archeologist would never discover ruins and say, "These artifacts are the product of chance." Design is always the result of intelligence.
The truth is, there is a Designer. Call him God or Allah or whatever you want. You just cannot call him Chance.
Are you scared of finding the truth?
I'll leave the author's name out as its irrelevant. Agree or disagree?
