Darwinists: In the Beginning – It Began Somewhere Else

Evolution - “All Christians also believed that the Genesis account was the literal events of creation until science introduced evolution and believers had to revisit or revise what they believed was the truth.”  This is reportedly what atheist Christopher Hitchens contends in debate on absolute truth being contained in the Bible and accessible by Bible-believers.  The absolute truth, however, requires more details.

Christians who study their Bible and rely upon God have never wavered on the Genesis account, or accepted evolution.  Meanwhile, leading scientists who propose evolution continue to struggle with their own genesis account.  Even Francis Crick, part discoverer of the DNA double helix, and now staunch atheist and scientist Richard Dawkins  have jumped ship on the original story line of creation adapted to fit Darwinian evolution.

In the face of the absolute incredulity of the science version of genesis, where electric spark meets muddy water and simple cells are born that get to work producing everything, both scientists came to embrace a theory of transpanspermia.  The idea is that intelligent life from outside our galaxy–so long as it’s not God–sent DNA to earth in the first place.  The origins of those intelligent, DNA-planting extraterrestrials?  They evolved, of course.

The fact that introducing evolutionary alien gods only transplants a bankrupt theory to another part of the universe without addressing its glaring deficiencies seems lost on a man who likes to rely on the use of the word “reason” in his denunciations of God and the Bible. A caveat for Dawkins: the reason of man can be a fickle thing.  Here, Dawkins has also reasoned himself into arguing from a premise of intelligent design.
