I am very sorry if I have misled you about my beliefs. It was certainly not intentional. I do have serious problems with the Intelligent Design political movement, because I don't think it is scientific, and because it has apparently practiced deception, and because I don't think it is possible to prove design -- it's a matter of faith, and the Bible itself indicates that in Hebrews 11:3. However, I also believe that God was, and is, intimately involved with the creation of things, and the way things are now. I believe that God was a great designer.<BR/><BR/>I also have problems with Young-Earth Creationism, believing that the Bible does not have to be interpreted as Young-Earth Creationists do, and that God has revealed Himself through what we can find in nature (and, of course, in other ways, including the Bible) and that, properly interpreted, there should be no conflict between God's revelations. Scientific findings, especially in geology, do not seem to support the beliefs of Young-Earth Creationists.<BR/><BR/>Other people, smarter than I, and Christians by almost anyone's criteria, have had the same problems.<BR/><BR/>I recognize that either ID or YEC could be right, and I could be wrong. However, I see ID and YEC misleading a lot of Christians into views that are not only incorrect, but incompatible with science, and likely to turn some honest seekers with some scientific knowledge away from salvation.<BR/><BR/>If you really want to know more about what I believe, you might check out some of the posts (see the right top sidebar of my blog) that I consider to be among my most important. Those that are pertinent to this question would be:<BR/>1). . . Being Dead, Yet Speaketh . . .<BR/>2) I Believe in Evolution. So do You.<BR/>3) Scriptural Principles that Relate to Science<BR/>4) Thoughts on Hebrews 11:3<BR/>5) Young-Earth Creationism versus Intelligent Design.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.com
