Creationism

In a letter to the local newspaper dated 8/18/00 I wrote, “Mr. Enderle makes the common mistake of confusing a scientific theory with an opinion. All scientific theories are based on experimental evidence and highly structured observations (emphasis added). Scientific theories are founded on observable and reproducible evidence and therefore scientific theories are “factual.” The sun does not move across the sky but rather the Earth rotates on its axis. This is a factual statement based on the Copernicus-Galileo-Kepler-Newton “theory” of planetary motion....In terms of biological evolution Charles Darwin and many scientific workers over the past 141 years have amassed a mountain of experimental evidence and structured observation (emphasis added) to show that life changes over time flowing from one kind into another continuously.

Mr. Enderle, please read the following words carefully: The Bible puts forth an opinion about how life began on earth. The Bible’s opinion is not a scientific theory. The Bible’s opinion is not based on independent observations and reproducible evidence. These observations and evidences are commonly known as facts. In court case after court case around the nation, the courts have found the Bible is not a factual source for scientific evidence. The Bible is not factual because it does not meet the test for factual statements. Rather the Bible asserts its opinion and demands that you accept or reject its unsubstantiated opinion. If you reject its unsubstantiated opinion, then you are threatened with infinite damnation in hell (which by -the-way is also a Biblical opinion). The Bible has nothing scientifically meaningful to say about how life began and changes over time on earth.

In addition, Mr. Enderle, you take scientific evidence and misinterpret it, distort it, misrepresent it, or selectively use it to put forth your alien opinion about nature and the natural world. This is not theory construction. This is the epitome of dishonesty. If you were a working scientist, you would be drummed out of the discipline never allowed to practice science forthwith! When you say more and more scientist are supporting creationism, that is a whopping lie. When you say no transition species have been found, that is a whopping lie. If you had bothered to read Darwin’s “Origin of Species” you would know Darwin did not believe in the concept of “species.” If you had bothered to read Niles Eldredge’s scientifically constructed theory in his book, “The Evolution of Punctuated Equilibria” you would know transition species are not necessary. When you say scientist believe the universe existed forever, that is another whopping lie. When you say it is impossible for DNA to code by chance, not only is that a whopping lie, but it clearly demonstrates your willful ignorance of genetics. In your Orwellian-Christian world, lies, distortions, and dishonesties are statements of fact.

As an alien from the planet Jesus, please explain, here on earth, why factually ninety-nine percent of Gorilla genes and factually ninety-eight percent of chimpanzee genes are identical to human genes. Guess who your distant relatives are, Mr. Enderle?
