SEE related topic: Can the EXISTENCE of GOD be PROVEN? (link) AND: God's evolving CREATION (link) The following opinion-piece, by John N. Todd III, M.D. (the author of this website), was printed verbatim in "The TUSCALOOSA (Alabama) News", on 10/18/02. There are minor variations in this Internet version. This was written in response to an earlier article in the Tuscaloosa News, by Dr. Michael L. Roberts.... concerning the thoughts of a "scientist" in the age-old "debate" about evolution/creation. Gee, I feel old and dumb and uneducated, now that I have been enlightened by Dr. M. L. Roberts.... a teacher in a local college. I've been believing in a personal Creator-God for all of my mature life. Now, I have been awakened by this "scientist"; and I have learned that I -- along with the 90% of other Americans who also believe in a "Supreme Being" -- have been duped; and that we have been led to believe "unscientific" and nonsensical religious notions. I am so glad to learn that there are two books available, both "blessed" by Mr. Roberts. These books, we are told, will help us ignoramuses "to know what our best scientists know". At last I understand where I should turn for ultimate "truth". It makes me feel a lot better to learn that "scientists" are now in control of the Universe. I see that I can now abandon my antiquated Bible, and Sunday-school, and church. Now, I need only the physics book.... and dice. I must admit that, for some reason, I remain trapped in my ignorance. Call it faith (link). I still believe in a personal God who guides and protects His people (link); and I believe that the plans and purposes of God cannot be thwarted by man.... even "scientists". I believe that God is in command of all human events; and I believe that God is still actively involved in His evolving creational process. (See link God's evolving creation.) I feel sorry for those individuals who believe only in a nothingness that has been "created" by Father Big-Bang, and Mother Nature. Bless you, Doctor Roberts.... or should I say to you, "Good LUCK". |
