Letter: Darwin's theories an argument for non-believers to hide behind

A paradigm cannot be definitely proved, no more than creation by an all powerful, all knowing being outside of this universe.

It is a collection of ideas and theories which those who do not want to believe in God hide behind.

As I understand their argument, or creed, it is that once upon a time billions of years ago there was nothing, then lo and behold an explosion occurred. This explosion brought into being gases and elements which had not been there before!

This is all conjecture and neatly gets over the problem of everything coming from nothing, not a scientific fact, but, hey, they can believe it if they need to! Then, over billions of years the gases solidified, and gradually order came out of the chaos.

Again, not a scientific concept. In all real experiments everything is breaking down and deteriorating, not becoming more complex unless there is an outside mind to order it.

In all this proliferation of order out of chaos our earth appeared, with an abundance of water and oxygen, absolutely essential for life, rotating around our sun in the right elliptical course at the right distance and speed, and angle.

The moon also at the right distance away to allow life to exist. So far, in all the space exploration no other planet comes close to the complexity and wonder of our planet. The sun is made up of hydrogen, it is burning up and the moon is slowly moving further from our planet in distances which are being measured.

Had the moon been moving away at a steady rate as measured at present, then only a few thousand years ago it would have been close enough to greatly increase the tides making our tsunamis look like normal tides!

Life on land would have been far worse than anything we fear from global warming! If the sun is burning up at a steady, measurable rate, how big and hot would it have been, and how close to the earth the billions of years claimed for the earth's existence?

But never mind, Darwinists believe this un-provable narrative however un-provable or unreasonable, so long as they don't allow a divine foot in the door.
