I had barely submitted this article for publication when I was made aware of an
article that claims researchers at MIT had proved that atoms naturally produce life.
The article claims that the
new theory … proposes that when a group of atoms is exposed for a long time to a source of energy it will restructure itself to dissipate more energy. The emergence of life might not be the luck of atoms arranging themselves in the right way it says but an inevitable event if the conditions are correct."
The title of the article is this:
New Theory could prove how life began and disprove God.
As I say in my article that is precisely the concern I had for the
intelligent design" argument. They have based their argument on the wrong evidence. Now it is about to be demolished. That will set back belief in God for decades if not millennia to come.
The article has got it entirely wrong of course. The author/s of Genesis set out precisely how and why atoms produce life. The laws that determine the behavior of atoms were established well before atoms were programmed to or had the properties to restructure" anything.
Freedom is the principle that determines how particles and atoms behave. Freedom is the very basis of the laws that govern the universe. But when freedom is the foundation of the law some other aspect or consequence of the law cannot compel particles or atoms to form structures that violate the very basis of the law.
As with any law that is the very foundation of all other laws only the Lawmaker can compel otherwise free entities to adopt the structures that render them to an extent unfree.
That has been a dilemma that has taxed the minds of jurists since the beginning of time. How can we be free yet be subject to a law?
That is what my series of articles explains. But to attempt to construct a notion of God without reference to the only real source of evidence for a God the Bible is doomed to failure. And I fear that is exactly where the
intelligent design" argument is going.
Why will they resist finding the evidence in the Scriptures? They should remember this:
But whosoever should deny me before men him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 10: 33)
For goodness sake if there is some proof to be found of God it will be found in the Scriptures not in finding gaps in the scientific evidence in the hope that science will not be able to explain them. That is what
A Final Theory of God does.
