<<Christians are always using this wait-and-see argument. I strongly dislike
this approach and have said so on numerous occasions. I believe that it has
become nothing but a cop out for us Christians to avoid finding the answers to
our problems. The real question is how will we know when it is time to cease
waiting for solutions?>>
The ID argument is not "wait and see." It is "SEE! Now what's the most
reasonable explanation?"
In this area, Behe has shown that science has not provided any naturalistic
explanation. That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep looking. Indeed, ID should be
subject to falsification experiments.
<<The point I am trying to make is that God placed us here in the 20th century
to deal with the data of the 20th century NOT the data of the 24th century.
Our job should be to construct hypotheses which fit TODAY's data into a
coherent whole which does not require the large scale overthrow of everything
science has learned. >>
What is it that science has "learned" about the gradual development of complex
biochemical systems? Where is this knowledge published?
We need to deal with REALITY and REASON, not just affirm blind faith in
science.
