“I absolutely refuse to be dogmatic”

Simon McIntyre is pretty much always worth listening to:

On a less-light note, I’m reading Rob Bell’s second book, “SEX GOD”, and so far have been less than impressed. See my review-in-progress.

Update: Well, it looks like the c3i global web site overwrote the article with a new one.  Sorry I didn’t save a copy, and I can’t find a link to the old text anywhere.

Bumper Sticker Philosophy

Filed under: Everything Else — adamdbradley @ 8:31 pm

As I walked my dog this evening, I passed a car with a curious bumper sticker.

EVOLUTION MEANS… No God… No Master

More true than most people realize. Evolution does not mean “truth” or “history” or even “science”. It is a model of biological history that is tautological if you assume there is no Creator, hence its appeal — the hedonistic scientist is spared the hard work of furnishing extraordinary evidence for his extraordinary claims, and the scientific hedonist is spared the bother having to reckon with accountability for his immorality.

Not that I expect any Darwinist to be convinced by this little rant. But it is curious that even Darwinism’s proponents recognize its philosophical ramifications; my only real disagreement with them would, I suppose, be whether those are the cause or the effect of their worldview.
