Distinctively Atheist doctrines in opposition to Intelligent Design

[BobRyan]

The disctinctively atheist position in the various beliefs on evolutionism is the one that says that not only is the Bible NOT a "trustworthy record of the acts of God in history" when it comes to the Bible "account" on the origins of all life - but also it is wrong to suppose that God is even seen to be "intelligent" in anything you may think He has done by making this "living planet".

Professor Watler Vieth has made some truly brilliant contributions to this subject on science and intelligent design being opposed by the distinctively atheist views that say "there is no god".

You're starting to sound like Walter Veith.

Here is a thread to some of the brilliant work being done by Professor Walter Vieth -

(Link not allowed in the origins section so posting here for sake of full disclosure and the convenience of the reader.)

I could simply repeat the wording of the OP on that thread - but it refers the reader to rather long video by Walter Veith which the thread then summarizes for you - directing you to various points in the video without having to watch the entire 1 hour plus video to find those points. Again - simply a convenience for the reader.

I am wondering about how many "other" SDA university science professors openly supporting creation science we may have who like Veith have been asked by devoutly evolutionist universities to teach graduate science programs in biology due to the well-recognized value in his science and teaching.

in Christ,

Doug Batchelor has an interesting statement related to this topic.

Quote:

Darwinism: The Evolution of Atheism

If you think creation is a fairy tale, you won’t find much else in the book of Genesis relevant either. You must eventually accept creation as a fact for any of the other great biblical truths — including God’s standards of morality — to be significant in your life.

Indeed, Darwin’s theory of evolution was a daring attempt to make God’s existence unnecessary; evolution really is the origins myth of atheism. It was developed for the purpose of giving humans the freedom to act without accountability to a higher power.

At its very core, atheism balks at the existence of an objective right and wrong. Obviously, not all atheists are ready to commit the evil their beliefs would allow for. However, to the atheistic evolutionist, humans have simply evolved into a society that currently frowns on theft and murder. But we could just as easily evolve into something else, and the result could not objectively be called good or bad. Blood could run in the streets and evolutionists could simply label it as “eliminating the weaker members of the species.”

Is it so surprising then that the horrors of the Holocaust find their underpinnings in the theory of evolution? An examination of the writings of Hitler and other Nazis reveals that Darwinism heavily influenced the policies of WWII Germany. In fact, many people are surprised to learn that the entire title of Darwin’s Origin of Species is: “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life” (emphasis added). Hitler labeled Jews as an inferior race and less than human, thereby justifying murder, torture, and ghastly human experiments in the name of survival of the fittest. And racism continues today because many people believe that some humans are more highly evolved than others. But racism directly contradicts the Bible, which says God “has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth” (Acts 17:26 NKJV).
