If evolutionist can't give absolute proof of evolution, neither can Christians give ABSOLUTE PROOF that the the bible is inspired of God.
Pistolpete: In a sense I think you are confirming the gist of the interviews: And that is to demonstrate that in the absence of observable evidence, atheist evolutionists live a life of faith, just like any other religion.
But it is much bigger than that. The larger umbrella of Materialism states that it only allows for material causes and testable scientific evidence. It holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things are results of material interactions.
So, the atheist, materialist, evolutionist worldview is objectionable on grounds of being inconsistent, arbitrary, and contradictory to itself.
Because:
1. It goes beyond observable science
2. Regularly recognizes and uses things that are not material such as:
- Ideas
- Codes like DNA
- Consciousnesses
- Mathematics
- True false statements
- Faith
- Information
- Evil
- Morals
- Ethics
These are all non-material things selectively used by materialists to try and prove materialism. This lack of congruity is contrasted with Christianity, which is a much more consistent worldview. For instance, evolutionists have a problem finding a basis for describing evil and dealing with evil.
Many universities either have a class called something like "The Problem of Evil" or at least spend some time on this topic in Philosophy.
There is no "problem" of evil from a Christian perspective. God can either 1.) Enable evil by forever doing nothing about it. 2.) Prevent it by taking away our free-will. 3. Or Judge evil.
Christians maintain that evil will be dealt with by option # 3 - Judging it. What makes Christianity so spectacular, is that Christians maintain.... with much evidence, that God took on human flesh and judged evil as worthy of death and actually took the punishment for it Himself.... because he loved us so much that he couldn't bear the thought of us having to pay the penalty for it ourselves.
To prove it all, He walked out of a tomb and presented himself openly and thus changed the course of human history forever.
Born again Christians will testify (which is powerful evidence in a court of Law) that Jesus is actually living inside of them, sculpting an image of himself from the inside. So, they know God as much as they know their wife, boss, friend or husband and don't doubt his existence and less that anyone else they know.
