Taking Sides

The evolutionist thought process is a convoluted one, presenting a labyrinthine logic that would make Theseus' head spin. Or David Bowie's.

Here's one example: Many evolutionists propose that God be dispensed with entirely in the hollow halls of learning, or at least relegated to a religion class. This makes sense for the secularist, but what of the theistic evolutionists who share this view? In essence, this is a tacit declaration that God is a fairy-tale figure, whether one acknowledges it or not. It comes across as separating myth from reality, fact from fiction. After all, if God isn't real, discussing His role in the creation is a non sequitur.

But if He is more than a figment of the deluded mind, then no topic is above the discussion of His influence. In other words, if God created the universe, broaching the subject of Him in a science class is perfectly and completely relevant. The reverse implies his nonexistence, which is not a neutral position. If I say--or imply by my actions and words--that God is the equivalent of Santa Claus, I'm taking sides. I mention this because all too often school administrations, scientists, and judges present themselves as impartial, when they are anything but.

If one accepts the reality of God, insisting that He is outside the scope of a science class is akin to proclaiming grammer a taboo topic in Composition 101.
