WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT RELIGION?<\/span>
\nThe truth is that the existence or non existence of God can’t be proven either way.  No one can prove<\/em><\/strong> that God exists and no one can prove<\/em> <\/strong>that God does not exist<\/em>.  All anyone can ever do, is weigh the evidence.  But why<\/em><\/strong><\/span> <\/em><\/strong>are some of the most brilliant atheistic minds in the world, biologists, chemists, astronomers, doctors turning from atheism to Religion? <\/span> <\/em><\/strong>The reason is simple.  They have kept informed of new discoveries and information.  They have then analyzed, objectively and with an open mind, weighed this new evidence that did not exist <\/em><\/strong>when the paradigm of darwinistic materialism was being formulated.  They saw new facts and new information that required<\/strong> new conclusions<\/span><\/em>.   That is how science and discovery is supposed to work, but often does not .<\/span> <\/em><\/strong> The available information has changed and “evolved” dramatically.  The more we’ve learned, the more compelling the case “for” religion has become.  At the same time, the case “against” has become much more difficult to even TRY to make…  <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For many scientists, even when the conclusions, objectively should<\/span> change, often their worldview does not.   When careers, reputations, grants, etc… are dependent upon research within the paradigm of Darwinism and materialism as being the <\/span>sole explanation for everything, ultimate conclusions rarely change.<\/span>  This is true <\/span>regardless<\/strong> of the evidence.  For them, expressing a change of opinion or belief has too high a price; both socially and financially. Think about it…  If your job or research grant is dependent upon your study of  evolution; an acknowledgment<\/span> that Darwinian mechanisms seem insufficient to explain the diversity and complexity of life,  your job and grants are immediately placed in jeopardy… and as many brilliant, objective chemists and biologists have discovered, voicing these realizations often leads to immediate ostracism and becoming a pariah in their field<\/span>.  <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Scientific Facts are not in Dispute… ONLY Allowed Inferences and Conclusions are in Dispute<\/strong><\/span>
\nNo matter how much a person or institution may assert or prefer otherwise, facts are always the facts… 2 plus 2 is always 4, even if one prefers or asserts that it is 5.<\/em>  <\/em>Unfortunately, in many areas of science, like bad math, Dogma and preferred worldviews are trumping facts and obvious inferences.<\/em> <\/span>  This is not how science is supposed to work. Historically, science was a search for truth; the examination and following of the evidence, no matter where that evidence led.<\/em>  This is no longer the case.  Worldview often trumps scientific evidence.  No matter the evidence, no matter the logical inferences and no matter how compelling the explanatory power of the inference, if a highly likely conclusion contains a theistic implication, further investigation and consideration down that evidentiary path is not allowed.   Simply put; a DO NOT ENTER sign is erected.   Science, often, is no longer a search for truth, it’s a search to support a purely materialistic causes.  No God Allowed… Nothing beyond the nature we can see, touch, or feel is allowed to be considered as a possibility.   We now have an A,B,G<\/strong> mentality i.e. Anything But God.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

True science, discovery and intellectual honesty requires that we let the FACTS<\/strong> speak.  Let them tell us where they lead, what they mean.  There is virtually no disagreement on the facts we see in nature; fossils exist,  things change over time, beak sizes change, anti-biotic resistance occurs, etc… these are all facts which constitute evidence that relate to opinions as to what conclusion that evidence supports.<\/p>\n
