So once again the old wounds between the "logical" atheists and the
"spiritual" Christians were ripped open by the break through discoveries
with the long sought-after "God Particle". I've never understood how
evidence supporting the theories of evolution and the big bang disproves the
existence of god- (though it does interfere with a literal interpretation of
biblical timeline). As a Christian and someone who does take quite a
shine to logic I've never seen why we must consider science and
Christianity mutually exclusive.
I like to think of
it as lego blocks and the kid playing with the lego blocks. Some
factions of atheists believe that the existence of the building blocks
of the universe disproves the existence of God--- sort of like saying
because there are lego blocks building a lego house therefore there is
not a child who constructed the house. Some factions of Christianity
seem to take the same argument, in a different direction- they try hard
to disprove things such as evolution for the same reason. Because there
is a kid playing with toys- and the kid made the house. The house of
legos was generated solely from the mind of the child- and no blocks
were used in the process.
I'm not saying Christians
and Atheists are wrong- but rather, there seems to be a fallacy in the
philosophy of the extremists. They say God made man in his image- and
it is a known fact human kind was able to differentiate from other
animals because of our use of tools. Therefore, it is not unreasonable
that God fashioned the universe itself in an elegant way- in a way that
provided a framework and foundation to work from. God made tools to aid him in the creation of the universe. You can build a toy
house out of many materials- but nothing works quite as easy or brings
as much joy as snapping together a couple of legos.
