[Hammond]
I have carefully read Ken Ham's letter about the Kansas
Board of Education situation:
http://www.creationists.org/kenhamkansas.html
My first impression is that the guy is certifiably ok,
attitude wise. He is concerned with the rise
of "Humanism" at the expense of the traditional Christian
viewpoint. I agree with him. There has been something
sinister about "Survival of the Fittest" since the beginning,
and it's getting out of hand in recent years, what with the
abuses of scientific discoveries like IQ testing, Genetic
theories of Human superiority, Mysticism coming out of QM, "Final
theories of everything", "Fuzzy Logic", "Chaos Theory" and, in
my view a heretical twisting of the object of scientific
research toward the promotion of the moral justification
of licentious attitudes, social division, and even the
destruction of science itself as well as reliable religious faith.
He points out that there is more to the Creationist standpoint
than the Age of the Earth, it's about the fact that many people
who are not scientists know the historical (even political
and scientific) importance of God, while those ignorant of it
seem to be bombarding us with anti-Christian interpretations
of scientific facts like Survival of the Fittest, the meaning of IQ,
the meaning of Quantum Mechanical Laws etc. etc.
Ken Ham knows there is a God, but it's a tough road arguing
it against pure science which does not formally recognize God
and cannot explain God. Nonetheless, as science seems to move
more and more toward a "life is a random event", and "there is only
random brutality and chance" at the basis of Life, people who know
better from thousands of years of religious history, are
definitely becoming concerned about this secular drift and its impact
on public education and the moral rearing of children. I certainly am.
I am a physicist myself, and haven't been inside a church in twenty
years. My widowed mother dragged me to a Latter Day Saints Church for
years when I was a kid mainly because the Minister was a family friend.
Generally I claim the Congregational Church as my place of worship since
becoming an adult.
As you know, as a physicist, I have advanced the claim that I have
discovered a hard scientific explanation and proof of God (see my
website, URL below). I claim that this scientific proof, based on
100 years of data from Psychometry, Biology and General Relativity.
As you know I claim that this scientific discovery easily meets all
of the standards of modern scientific proof, and would in fact be
trivially obvious to any first rank scientists with the
perequsite interdisciplinary credentials to review it. I have in
fact suggested Professor Robert Elliot Pollack director of the CSSR
at Columbia as one such scientist that I am aware of who is actually
qualified.
To get to the point, it is my belief that someone like Ken Ham should be
advised of this new discovery, and should at least be aware that the
Fundamentalist, Christian, and even Creationist viewpoint now has an
absolutely hard science, Physics, proof of the truth and validity of
it's factual standpoint. I will, and have, even gone so far as to state
that the discovery flat out proves that Creationism is a hard scientific
theory equally as valid as Evolution and has a right to be tought in
public schools alongside Evolution as a scientifically explainable and
proven phenomenon. So should the scientific explanation and proof of God be
tought in public schools as a scientific subject. And I'm sure it will be
sooner than people think.
I certainly would like to talk to Ken Ham about this new development,
about getting it confirmed by other competent scientists, and about
getting it secured in the arsenal of defense of Christianity in the
ongoing debate between Science and Religion. The scientific proof of God
has arrived, and I'm here to notify the Fundamentalists, and other
religious groups about it.
As a curious side note, my father legally changed his name from Ham
to Hammond the year before I was born.
Shalom, and God Bless, George Hammond
