Misleading, but OK
|
The author spends a great many pages pushing evolution. In fact, he seems more enthusiastic about evolution than about God.
His main reason for believing God exists, is natural morality. Natural morality can be seen as an instinct ensuring the survival of the species, even to the detriment of the individual. Wolraad Woltemade saved 14 lives but lost his own - good for the species, bad for him. There must have been many similar incidents.
If evolution is true, much of the Bible is "cunningly devised fables." (II Peter 1:16). If evolution is true, death was in the world long before the first humans, not introduced as a consequence of sin. If death is not the result of sin, maybe eternal life is a myth, too. These things are a corner stone of Christianity.
Collins states that the energy from the sun can lead from a state of lower to a state of higher order. That is only true for directed energy. Random energy has no such effect. An explosion in a brickyard has never resulted in a building.
Collins also states that intelligent design can neither be experimentally proven nor disproven. It can be disproven - all that has to happen is for a random process to cause the existence of a reasonably complex artefact showing all the hallmarks of design. We are still waiting...
The book is well written and reads easily. Pity the title is so misleading. |
