Politics, not science, holds up evolution
The goal of the evolutionists is to establish man's arrival independent of God's
intervention. Therefore, the evolutionist needs to be able to show that life crawled
forth from chemicals without the Creator. Otherwise, God could have inserted
himself elsewhere in the evolutionary process and the entire argument for
evolution is lost. The problem for the evolutionist is that science keeps advancing
and discovering more about the complexity of life. Scientists such as Charles
Thaxton have explained the utter impossibility of life springing spontaneously
from chemicals. Progressive science has shown evolution to be just the latest
fairy tale.
Science is not the foundation holding up evolution; politics is. Iowa State
University just denied tenure to Guillermo Gonzalez in spite of 68
publications. The problem is, he co-authored a book on intelligent design. It
appears our universities are no longer places for the open exchange of ideas.
