Subject: [asa] Harvard study

Latest AIG blurb, with which I have some sympathy. Too bad they did
not identify the yahoo from Harvard whose quote they lifted.

Q: Is an Ivy League school really spending millions of dollars to
prove there's no God?

A: These days it seems as though everyone is jumping into the
creation/evolution debate. Not wanting to be left out, Harvard
announced a new multimillion dollar research project, the "Origins of
Life in the Universe Initiative." They're setting aside $1 million a
year to try to prove what they already believe.

Listen to what a Harvard professor of chemistry and chemical biology
told the New York Times about the origin of life: "My expectation is
that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of
logical events that could have taken place with no divine
intervention."

For all the PhDs that Harvard may hand out-and for all the good
science they may do-none of it is important when it comes to
eternity. If they're producing atheists, then what's the point in the
long run?

As Matthew 16 tells us, "What profit is it to a man if he gains the
whole world, and loses his own soul?"
