Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person upset with the barrage of evolutionary thought that is permeating our society. More and more outlandish thoughts and ideas are being presented as scientific fact in a world where people have decided to stop thinking critically, and started to just accept that science knows what they are doing.

Why is it that as a society we have so quickly forgotten the art of critical thought? Why are we so afraid to question the outlandish claims of science? When we take the time to really, and I mean really, look what is said from the science world, I cannot believe that everyone is simply willing to take science's word for it. Science is a wonderful tool in helping us to figure out how God created the universe and what makes it tick. But we must be sure never to overstep our bounds, and break the rules of scientific analysis in order to prove a theory that we were told was truth without so much of an honest examination. Science is being betrayed by the scientists, and only the few (see Ben Stein's documentary 'Expelled') seem willing to stand for truth.

Here is an example of the lunacy that is being published, all in the name of science.

John S. Mattick and Michael J. Gagen (U. of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia), writing in Science magazine (dated February 11th, 2005) about the mathematical dynamics of networks said the following:

Consider, for instance, the proliferation of digital programming in such domains as computing and aviation. The increased sophistication of modern aircraft has been enabled not so much by advances in their analog components, but rather by transitions from mechanical to computational control systems, including software and optical fibers, which now constitute much of the cost. Indeed, the transition to digital technologies is a generic solution to previous limitations of analog communication and control technologies. In virtually all systems, it has been observed that explosive increases in complexity occur as a result of more advanced controls and embedded networking, most of which is invisible to the observer. In the case of biology, we suggest that the transition from an analog protein-based regulatory system to a digital RNA-based control architecture was the critical platform that enabled the evolution and development of complex organisms.¹ (emphasis mine)

Did you catch the sly abandonment of rational thought? In all that wonderful scientific speak the author took one large step for evolutionkind.

Notice how the writer goes seamlessly from the discussion of intelligently-designed human engineering to chance-based, mindless, directionless process of evolution.

Presumably, just because the development of analog-to-digital converters in cells was 'invisible to the observer', the author takes a huge liberty in hypothetical reasoning and suggest that an explosion in complexity must have resulted, transforming bacteria into horses, whales, dragonflies, sharks, computer programmers and aircraft pilots.

Don't be side tracked with these personification fallacies. (Attributing personal attributes to inanimate objects or concepts.)

What do I mean by that?

Well read the article excerpt again. And ask yourself these questions.

Who transitioned the aircraft technology from analog to digital? How did this entity do it? Who designed the Analog to Digital converter that allows the moving parts to communicate with the digital brain? How was the digital programming done?  Was it with or without a programmer? Who designed the advance controls? Who embedded the networking? Were advances in modern aviation brought about by chance mutations and natural selection?

Ok... Now ask the same questions in regard to a bird.

Who assembled the bird? Who provided the moving parts, motor and computer hardware in the bird? Who programmed the bird? Who Designed the advance controls, to control what?, Who embedded the neural networking? Who ensured constant refueling through the process of eating, under one's own power? Who enabled the concept of waste management, self regulation, and developed the structural data the bird would need to know in order to survive, or simply utilize the equipment it was created with? Were advances in animal aviation brought about by chance mutations and natural selection?

Lots of questions, that science cannot answer. 

You know, I was once told that you should never answer a question with more questions.  However in this case...

I think I just did.

"Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?" - Job 38:2-7
