Interesting stuff. It's so obvious there's a Creator. One has to TRAIN himself to think otherwise. And what is the motivation? Political spite.
If the most atheistic scientist in the world were to wake up tomorrow and find himself the ONLY such scientist in the world, then he'd be catching on to ID by lunchtime. So his atheism in the meantime is a JOKE.
That said, I question whether the Creator is God. My personal feeling is that Reality is self-created and mad. And God is its REDEEMER.
@MyFriendLeonard1 Yeah I think some kind of intelligent design is painfully obvious. Its like there is this unwritten rule in the academy that everyone has to reject as loudly as possible anything remotely resembling creationism no matter where the data leads. That seems to be what Collins is doing if I had to guess. Still, its good that he goes as far as he does with the natural theology program.
@evangelical1 And this unwritten rule is very actual. I'd like to see something politically done about it. You can't get a degree now in anything unless you're a secular liberal. Your profs will flunk you for no reason, and then laugh in your face. What are you gonna do, complain to the secular liberal department head? Complain to the secular liberal college president? Complain to your secular liberal congressman? This MONOPOLY on higher education needs to be BROKEN, immediately and with force.
@MyFriendLeonard1 And isn't it funny how the contemporary monopoly snubs its nose at the medieval university for having an ecclesiastical monopoly? What is good for the goose...
@evangelical1 Yeah, that's a good point. But I don't want there to be any kind of monopoly on education. They do seem however to have a way of forming! So, I guess DIVERSITY has to be MANDATED.
: )
I was reading just last night how Neo-Kantians had a stranglehold on education in Germany for nearly a century. All other viewpoints, strictly shut out. And the result? A century of no significant philosophical development within German universities. Monopolies produce legions of brown-nosers!
