Creation and Evolution

A book called ‘Creation and Evolution’ is cited by Reuters as quoting Pope Benedict saying ‘I would not depend on faith alone to explain the whole picture’ and calling evolution ‘the great fundamental questions of philosophy: where man and the world came from and where they are going.’
N.Y. Times writer Ian Fisher notes in his report that ‘before he became pope two years ago, Benedict had expressed concern that on several fronts, including evolution, science was overstepping its competence, denying the existence of God and becoming its own system of belief.’ However, the Pope is also said to defend theistic evolution, the idea that God could use evolutionary processes to create life. The authorship and availability of the book are not cited… bit mysterious… and very interesting…

The more we learn, the more life appears to be a combination of how the universe is programmed and “random” evolutionary events. More and more, the universe appears programmed to create life.
The processes of evolution contribute to the direction life takes, based on the environment on the planet, but we’re finding those evolutionary processes seem to work in the structure of some kind of universal programming.
Physicists say there is true randomness at the quantum level, but this pure randomness has been getting pushed into smaller and smaller domains over time. The more we learn, the more we find what was once random was due to some more primitive, known quantity. The kind of pure randomness it would take for a pure evolutionary path to life has been getting pushed out.
I think much more could be discovered if people opened their minds to other possibilities besides pure evolution.
I think many missions to other planets, space telescopes, extrasolar planet missions, missions to Jupiter, have been cancelled because people are afraid they might discover overwhelming evidence that life is programmed into the universe and not entirely evolved by random processes.
Just when it appeared that God may have delayed his response to evolutionists, enter THE QUEST FOR RIGHT, a masterful work on creationism.
The great gulf of ambiguity that once separated Intelligent Design from legitimate scientific discourse has been abolished. It is a fact: The Quest for Right has accomplished that which, heretofore, was deemed impossible: to level the playing field between forces advocating creationism and those promoting evolution.
The Lord has heard the cries of His people and responded with a scientific resource on creationism that will stop these onslaughts against Christianity. The Quest for Right turns the tide by providing an authoritative and enlightening scientific explanation of natural phenomena that will ultimately replace the Darwinian view.
For example, the investigation dismantles the hocus pocus responsible for the various absolute radioisometric dating techniques by which rocks and other materials are supposedly dated. Absolute-”perfect, complete, definite; without a prospect of being incorrect.” On these incalculable formulae— and they are incalculable—rest the science council’s claim that the earth is of great age, accreting some 4.6 billion years B.C. Upon publication of The Quest for Right, the council’s choice of the superlative absolute will be assessed to be a scurrilous invective, an “abusive, offensive, even vulgar, connotation.” After all, who would question an absolute? It is a matter of record that these dating systems are the tools by which evolutionists have attempted to rip apart the validity of historical documentations, specifically, that the account of creation as recorded in the Bible is mythology. The Quest for Right has changed all of that: the scientific record of creation has stood undaunted against these attacks and has proven to be an invaluable asset to the in-depth investigation.
The first three volumes of the seven volume set will be published early fall ‘07. The Quest for Right is all new from the get-go and is destined to make headlines that will reverberate within the halls of academia throughout the world. Coming soon to bookstores and online merchants such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobel.com, and Walmart.com. Author, C. David Parsons, biblical scholar and scientist extraordinare.
