Read a good book...

Here's my thought for today.  Read a good book, in addition to the Bible.

Suggested here is One Heartbeat Away, your journey into eternity. By Mark Cahill.

A few quotes from the book:

George Greenstein (astronomer), "As we survey the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather, Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos to our benefit?"

Mark Cahill, "Micro-evolution is limited by the genetic code. No features that are not already present in a creature's DNA can ever be produced by natural selection." i.e. A beak can become larger over time due to the bird's environment, say to break a hard to crack nut for food. A beak is part of the birds DNA. But, a fish did not just take a walk on shore and then grow wings to fly, etc. These kinds of changes between species cannot happen, because, for example, feathered wings are not in the fish genetic code, according to Cahill. "Thus, there are always natural limits to biological change. Natural selection is just that - selection. It cannot create anything new; it can only select from information contained in the organism's genetic blueprint."

Sir Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist), "A common sense interpretation of the facts seems to suggest that a Super Intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
