“Accepting Evolution Means You Can’t Believe in God”: Atheistic Perceptions of Evolution among College Biology Students

Image
So why is it that the majority of atheists believe in evolution? To quote the worlds most famous atheist - Richard Dawkins "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)." This sort of arrogance is spreading to biology students. However with the epigenetic revolution in full swing all four major points of neo-Darwinism have been disproved. In time Dawkins and others will die off. Others who embrace the truth will accept the teleological aspects of the organism and it's individual agency aside from natural selection.  Summary points article

There is a beginning universe.

The BVG has been used effectively by William Craig to show the universe (if not ours) must have a beginning. He defended it effectively against Lawrence Krauss, Sean Carroll and others. I saw the Carroll debate in New Orleans where in order to defend against the BVG Carroll showed a picture of Allen Guth holding his laptop with the words "there is no beginning". debate  Of course as a contributor to the BVG Guth was joking around. Nevertheless it's telling that a celebrated physicist (Carroll) could not defeat the BVG as given by a philosopher. This is a clip where Guth confirms a beginning.  Guth .  The BVG proof in pdf form is described here  BVD proof It concludes: "we offer a simple kinematical argument, requiring no energy condition, that a cosmological model which is inflating -- or just expanding sufficiently fast -- must be  incomplete  in null and timelike past directions. Thus inflationary models require physics other than inflation to describe th...

Raining the elemental tree...

For life to exist requires the full elemental chart. These elements were created in supernovas. Carl Sagan said 200,000 supernova formed earth. But how did their "explosions" get to earth? This article proves by studying Fe 61 that the earth travels through clouds of supernovas which sprinkle the elements onto the earth.  The atheist Paul Davies says we are living in the "Goldilocks" zone by which the rare conditions for life exists. This represents another anthropic reason for belief in God. article simulation
