I was watching an on-line video defending evolution. This was part of my e-mail discussion of evolution. I think you might be interested in my reaction to the first part of the video. A professor of religion gets up and begins the whole thing with a prayer. Then the scientist gets up. His position is that God exists, but that He hasn't done anything since the Big Bang. This is what I wrote back to the person who suggested that I watch the video:
Well, if just made it to the prayer. I realize this has nothing to do with the meat of the argument, but why is he bothering to pray to a god, who, if he does in fact exist, apparently doesn't do anything (with the possible exception of setting off the big bang). If evolution is true, our very existence is a meaningless, cosmic accident. If that's true, why should we even kid ourselves about someone being out there who is paying attention to us? Given sin and human nature (or the way we behave), it is just as likely that a creator, should he bother to getting around to noticing us, would be appalled and disgusted and deeply offended that we would even dream of calling him "father."
If the Bible is true, then God was directly involved with every step of the creation process. And Adam and Eve are literal, historical figures. If you are going to disassociate the Christian religion from the contents of 99.99% of the Bible because it's not true, then empty the freaking buildings, turn off the lights, and walk away.
Jesus said that it would be better for a man to have a millstone tied around his neck and to be cast into the sea than to lead other people astray. He meant that literally. It's literally true. When I look at some of these "ministers" and think about what Jesus said, it makes me tremble.
