Deuce & G Vinson,
Well said in your last few posts, which expose the epistemological weaknesses which under gird the materialists’ varied contentions about reality.
I’m still waiting to hear (from the anti-ID crowd) if their statements about the nature of science are scientific or philosophical…
It has been my experience that materialists tend to blur the lines between the two, which explains why so many sincerely believe science objectively supports their philosophy.
The reason they resist ID theory is because it falsifies the portions of modern evolutionary theory so heavily laden with materialist metaphysical assumptions.
Either life (with its complex genetic instructions) came about unguided or guided. To begin the investigation of this question on grounds that intelligent cause is off the table is not very rational for it declares the question answered before it is ever investigated.
Science tells us DNA cannot functionally survive without the controlled environment of the cell. It cannot replicate without protein readers and assemblers. Those proteins are themselves constructed from instruction segments in the DNA. Science also tells us the minimum nucleotides needed for this to take place.
Logic tells us since one cannot exist and propagate without the others and the others cannot exist without the one, both must exist from the beginning. Logic further tells us through probability calculation, that such a confluence and organization of material is akin to a miracle.
Which brings us back to ‘blind faith’.
