When i talk to creation "scientists" or read their books (even the likes of Ken Miller and Francis Collins) what i find is NOT an openended wonder and curiousity about the physical universe around them, nor even particularly a LOVE for it. What i find is a wonder and love for their religion, their father god, or at least (let us say in Collins' case, a desire to help people with scientific technology. And then there is the realization after reading what they write, that thye are just trying to prove a point and not go on an openended exploration. It's pretty easy to spot.<br /><br />Hell you don't even find a curiousity to go on an openeded exploration of creation science, i.e. ok, God created this world and life in it. lets do experiments, what is god like? what kind of tools did he use? what were his motives? 600,000 species of beetles? bats? MOSQUITOS?<br /><br />Recall Ken Miller's "finding darwins god" or something like that. he finally comes out that god did it though using evolution and quantum indeterminacy and even mentions jesus and mary in obscure spots, <br /><br />However while he desribes his curiousity and experimental results about molec bio etc... he never describes ANY curiousity and experimentation about this God, jesus and mary. He describes in childhood he read Darwin's origin to impress a babe, but never describes why in childhood (or when) he was at all curious about this god thing.<br /><br />They are just playing a dirty boring game. WHY, that's the question.barryhttp://blackskimmer.blogspot.com/2007/07/before-decending-into-question-of-wher.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
