  3. the details on Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005 · · Score: 1

    life never comes from non-life
    explosions don't bring order
    Mutations occur but almost always bring harm

    Are these references to specific scientific theories or conclusions, or are you just reporting what you feel to be common sense? And how do some of these statements relate to the subject at hand? (e.g. what do explosions have to do with anything? and what precisely do you mean by "order"? exactly how often, statistically, is "almost never"?) Don't forget Stephen Jay Gould's twist on an old saying: "God is in the details." The sweeping arguments made by creationists using everyday language and analogies can often sound plausible enough at first hearing, but once you start drilling into the details, they begin to fall apart. Conversely, real scientific theories like those relating to evolution only get stronger the closer you look.

    It is absolutely true that many of the great scientists of the past were Christians whose faith in general, and beliefs about the Creation in particular, inspired their lives' work.
