Advancing BioLogos (i.e. theistic evolution) for Christians #2

Using Plantinga again. You should really check out my video on Plantinga's argument:

Much of your reasoning is flawed, as is that of every human being. You are guilty of being overly general and of "lumping" as was Plantinga. You are treating all cognitive faculties as if they have the same reliability -- they do not. The faculties used in science and in recognizing regularities are different and more reliable than those used in theology and philosophy.

You seem to really want me to check out your vids. Perhaps I will... but I have a busy day so no promises.

Quick correction - viruses are unaffected by antibiotics because antibiotics only work on bactera.

Overall great video series, I really like it and I am also a theistic evolutionist. I really hope this purely logical and faithful idea of God and our Universe catches on to more atheists and Young Earth Creationists.

@Itugen88

Thank for the correction! So it is bacteria that evolves so quickly?

[Itugen88]

@fenoglios Yes. Well, technically viruses can "evolve" as well. That's why the influenza vaccine doesn't always work - your body may not have learned to recognize the virus inside, or, there are several strains that are mutating out there that the vaccine won't protect against. And that's why they constantly have to update the vaccine supplies - to match new strains. Bacteria do the same thing - when antibiotics are overused, they become "immune" to them.

@Itugen88

Gotcha. So *vaccinations* take care of viruses and *antibiotics* take care of bacteria.

[Itugen88]

@fenoglios Essentially, yes. You can take antiviral medications, but they are not the same as antibiotics.
