EVOLUTION Vs INTELLIGENT DESIGN

This is a continuation (kind of anyway) of our blog entry from last month:
SERIAL KILLERS AND EVOLUTION

As I wrote in our previous entry, Mr. Blumberg is a very gifted writer and does a very good job explaining his ideas, simply and succinctly, especially the complex ones. So, we bought the first book of his that we talked about in our first blog entry: "Freaks of Nature: What Anomalies Tell Us About Development and Evolution". We then ordered another book of his that was more about developmental psychology and thus a better fit with our serial killer research: "Basic Instinct: The Genesis of Behavior".

It starts off with a discussion about instinct and just what exactly is it and how do you even begin to define it. You can read some of the quotes we took from the "Basic Instinct... " and "Freaks of Nature... " books here:
SEK (Serial Killer): DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH

It then moves on to a discussion of evolution versus intelligent design. This is where we started having a bit of a problem with his logic. It's not that it wasn't spot-on, it's just that he concludes the existence of one theory (intelligent design) is no longer feasible, because the possibility that another one (evolution) has a higher probability of being the correct one.

The thing is, and what Mr. Blumberg seems to have forgotten is, that evolution is still only a theory and not a law, yet. The logic he uses to prove the probability of Evolution over Intelligent Design is pretty convincing, but no where in his logic does it disprove the idea (or competing theory) that the Creator Himself (or Herself, or both) designed Evolution as a tool to diversify life as we know it. In short, Evolution was one of God's ways to kick start the Universe (and life as we know it) and keep it going to this day and into the future.

FOX TV: "FRINGE"

Fox's "Fringe" is, in our opinion, the best show on TV, now or ever:
