I'm not really opposed to evolutionary theory. I think it's quite possible that's it was the mechanism God used to bring us about. The problem I have with evolution is in a couple areas: first, the most appropriate and best study for the proof of evolution should be a "historical" science, not a "biological" science. Correct? Yet most historical evidence is ignored by evolutionary theorists in favor of trying to explain things in terms of what "might" be able to happen biologically. Next, even moving into the "biological" investigations, the problems with probability are ignored. In other words, as I recall, the mathematical probability that humans would result from the process of evolution is so minute that it is reasonably impossible. But that is generally ignored as well by most evolution theory supporters (but I think some of the evolutionists do acknowledge the problem, and they generally address it by saying the Earth was seeded by aliens). These weaknesses of evolutionary theory should be clearly presented along with the theory itself, but instead it seems only the "dogmatic" portions of the theory are put forth in classrooms. >I've watched the documentary "The God Who Wasn't there".

Or are you scared on >having to THINK FOR YOURSELF and find the truth? I thought I explained why I didn't watch it. From what I can tell, like you said, they don't present anything new. The claim that Jesus didn't exist has been put forth in the past and has been refuted (repeatedly). Why would I spend money to watch something I already know is incorrect? By the way, the reason I sort of lumped it in with "The Da Vinci Code" was because the author of that book/movie stated he researched it as if it were a documentary. When interviewed he was asked what would he change to make the movie a documentary and he basically said he wouldn't change anything. So he was trying to present his "research" as sound. Just like what I'm sure this movie has done as well. I haven't seen, nor will I pay for, watching the Da Vinci Code movie. I won't pay to watch this one either. If it comes out on cable or something like that, I'll probably watch it. In general it's good to know what your enemies are thinking. :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
