that God does not exist in evolution. I felt very alone in my theistic evolutionary belief. However, bridging the gap will help the emotional state of truth seeking theistic minds, until they are mature enough to accurately analyze scientific data. Religion shows it's true colors to those who chase them. Shermer's points will make sense later to a truth seeking theist. But until then, Jacoby should be applauded because he's finally destroying the strong biblical literacy that many still ponder.
@MusicViddeos How can the atheists delude themselve and believe that hydrogen and oxygen, electrons and protons, should first produce themselves, then be the source for all other beings, and finally decree the laws that regulate themselves and the rest of the material world?
Excellent presentation on Jacoby's part. I do not believe in creationism but most people believe in some form of a creation. Although it's pretty clear there's no God behind evolution, Jacoby's premise will provide the emotional support people need, who are progressive believers, until they later come to their own rational conclusions on scientific/christian debates. The amount of effort to polarize creation verses evolution is ruining the minds of young thinking Christians who are convinced...
For those interested in seeing Shermer having his ass handed to him by the brilliant and far more "Bright" Stephen C. Meyer, check out my profile. Once you see the intellectual beatdown Meyer gives him you'll never look at Shermer the same again.
I loved True and Reasonable by the way Douglas.

I like Dr Shermer's shoes. Oh yeah; he's pretty smart too.
