This letter (Check the Bible...) to the editor at the Commercial Appeal came out today. I think it fits nicely with what is being discussed above. I hope there is a response to this misinformation and nonsense.
stemcell Check the Bible; save $125M The Oct. 8 article about the $125 million gift to Harvard in order "to discover the engineering principles nature uses to build living things" was so small it could almost go unnoticed. I am sure many of your readers missed the significance of the article. You see, science has now discovered that there is activity inside the cell that cannot be explained by evolution or any other theory. There are tiny apparatus and systems performing complicated duties as if guided by some invisible intelligence. Rather than accept that the invisible force, which the article calls "nature," is God Himself, Hansjorg Wyss wants to give Harvard $125 million to discover how that unbelievable activity occurs inside the cell. The significance of the article is that the scientific community has begun to accept that life cannot be explained by Darwin's theory of evolution. Without Darwin, the only explanation remaining is God.
