Dr. Shane Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Excellant article. Articles like this make one proad to be an Adventist. Adventist philosophy tyically is a moderate, middle-of-the-road one. Such is this. Liberty Magazine comes down with a compromise solution that is not at either extreame of the debate. Evolution and Intelligent Design Quote: The problem with creationism is that physical science, because of its own limitations and restrictions, simply cannot deal with God and creation. When scientists either affirm or negate the objective reality of God and creation, they step outside their field of expertise and enter different, though no less intellectually respectable and defensible, branches of knowledge, namely, theology and the philosophy of science. Quote: Scientists as scientists are concerned solely with descriptive reality and empirically verifiable phenomena; they use the techniques of the laboratory to seek truth and knowledge of external reality. We simply cannot and must not supply theological and philosophical answers to scientific questions, even as we cannot and must not provide scientific answers to philosophical and theological questions. Perhaps our schools can incorporate into their physical science classes a two-week examination of the philosophy of science so that creationism may be legitimately discussed. Note: I do not believe the author is Adventist. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
