Quick post...

Back to Full Blog

Well, I am in the middle of finals and exam proficiencies so I haven't had anytime to really do anything but study and be up at clinic.

Anyways, I came across a "Story for Young Materialist's" over at the Evangelical Outpost, written by Joe Carter. It's great. It basically strips a pure naturalist's view on the origin of the universe and man of all of it's scientific jargon and presents it as a kid's story. Not only is it funny, but it shows how irrational that view really is. If anything, an atheist, after reading it, should at least admit that their belief's regarding the origin of the universe are just that - BELIEFS.

Materialism is the oldest philosophical tradition in Western civilization. Originated by a series of pre-Socratic Greek philosophers in the 6th and 5th centuries before the Christian era, it reached its full classical form in the atomism of Democritus and Epicurus in the 4th century BCE. Epicurus argued that ultimate reality consisted of invisible and indivisible bits of free-falling matter called atoms randomly colliding in the void. You are matter, I am matter, my great aunt Tony is matter. Get with it matter is what matter does, if you do not understand this then stop blogging. |< << >> >|

So if I understand the story then, the purpose of a "belief" in "creationism" is to keep oneself from "filling up with despair". In fact, the "ism" with which one fills itself isn't especially important, just so it's something (not despair). Hmmm... interesting. So I guess I'm filled up with despair. That's a good thing to know, I guess.		\|< << >> >\|
