I just read Dave Berg’s article at nationalreview.com on Ben Stein’s new film Expelled, which exposes “Big Science” (i.e. nearly all institutions of “higher” learning in the U.S.) and it’s stonewalling of any discussion regarding the possibility that evolution might not be true. I found this statement by Mr. Berg to be particularly revealing, as he gets to the crux of the issue.
“The film’s endeavor is to respond to one simple question: ‘Were we designed, or are we simply the end result of an ancient mud puddle struck by lightning?’
Big science doesn’t like that question because they can’t answer it. Underneath their antagonism toward explanations that suggest an intelligent cause, lies a fundamental egoism. Science wants to deny any evidence of a supreme being precisely because it wants to be a supreme being.”
The apostle Paul would agree with that idea. He wrote the following in Romans 1:21-23:
“For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.”
Big Science, you lose.

Kate,
Just saw the movie expelled. It is well done and my comment after we left was this is what Paul was talking about in Romans 1.
You should see it. It is quite thought provoking–and shows how ideology has blinded the scientific community.
At the end Richard Dawkins the famous athiest allows for somekind of I.D. but not from God. Interesting…

Haha, Kate, in the movie it mentioned Dawkins’ book “The God Delusion”, and after that, Ben Stein interviewed this guy who had written “The Dawkins Delusion”. I thought it was pretty funny. Lufs ya, and glad you’re blogging again,
