Because He Said It, It Must Be True
Yesterday we explored the concept of the Appeal To Authority fallacy: The idea that just because something could happen doesn’t mean that it will or did. We stated that the logical conclusions drawn about Molecules to Man Evolution rests on this fallacy, because it requires millions of years for things to happen that haven’t been observed, but works itself backwards from the present: It states that since we are here, this is how it must have happened, it just must have taken millions of years. Hence they work out the probability of it happening, and then state that because we are here it did.

Just Because Something Could Happen…
The Infinite Monkey Theorem goes something like this:
…a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.
This logic is part of what makes up the logical belief in Evolution: the idea being, that given enough time there can be enough mutations—some of which were beneficial—to explain how humans came from primitive life all the way back to the one celled organism.
There is a problem with this logic, however. It is an appeal to probability.

Have We Found the Missing Link?
What was your reaction when, earlier this week, we found that our paleontologists had done it again? Done what? Well how many times can you “find the missing link that proves evolution and our link to primates?”
I mean, wasn’t that what Lucy was?

Of Gov. Sarah Palin and Dinosaurs
This is supposed to shock you. Get ready. Brace yourselves.
Gov. Sarah Palin believes that humans and dinosaurs coexisted on an earth that’s only about 6,000 years old.
Shocking, I know, since thousands of people have visited the Creation Museum. Check out this page on Wikipedia talking about polls on the topic of Creation and Evolution.

Debating Atheism/Evolution
One of the things that I’ve seen in many of the debates that I’ve recently entered about the origins of the world and the existence of God is really unfruitful and fails to recognize the complexity of the discussion.
It is rooted in the strong belief of the veracity of their side of the argument. Very few actually enter into this debate without a belief that they know the truth. I believe that if those people are present, they’re probably bystanders, watching exactly what will be said.

Expelled: The Movie You Have to See
Have you heard about this movie yet?
I started seeing ads for this movie show up at my site, but I had no idea what it was about. It turns out that Ben Stein has created a movie that documents how professors that choose not to believe in Evolution are systematically denied access to teaching positions, research positions, etc.?
This is from Ken Ham:
As you know, Darwinists have been expelling any hint of creation or intelligent design from public schools and research institutions. Now, many of them are expelling people from their academic posts in a desperate attempt to defend their evolutionary worldview. The upcoming film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed comes to theaters on April 18.
