Oakland, On thr Hitler subject....I have a tree in my back yard that I get apples from each year. If I pain a sign on it that says PEACH TREE, does that make it a peach tree? Hitler was what he was and that speaks for itsself much more than what he said he was. No matter what he said he was.
Now for a proof of God? I have a friend who is an archeologist and goes aroud digging up stuff and searching for things. When he is in a remote desert with no human villages or roads for hundreds of miles and he unearths some oblong, formed clay structures that are open on one end and closed on the other, with smmoth edges and designs on the sides....he will conclude that someone made the pot and that humans were once there. We have no evidence that structures such as these can be made without some sort of knowledge of pottery and intelligence to make them. One could sit beside a clay pit for years waiting for a clay pot to form by "evolution" of the clay, and it just wouldn`t happen. Anyone in the field of archeology would agree that finding pottery with complex shapes is evidence of human presence at one time or another. Do you agree?
Now look at the most "simple" one celled animal and consider how much more complex a living cell is that a clay pot. One of the most simple bacteria, Mycoplasma genitalium has but one chromosome and a cell membrane, but lacks a cell wall. It has the smallest genome of any self-replicating organism. Only has 470 genes and the average protien coded for by thses genes contains 347 aminoacids. The probability of forming by random, one such average sized protien molecule containing the amino acid residues in a required sequence is only 1/10 to the 451 power. Since any statistical math major will tell you that anything with a probability of 1/10 to the 50 is a statistical impossibility, I just have to say that scientifically, making these "simple one celled organisms"( as evolutionists call them) and then having them actually have "life" is the product of an intelligence so far superior to anything man can dream of is real.
In my mind, which may or may not be cluttered at all times, atheism and evolution are both cop-outs. We won`t even go into the biochemical statistical probabilities with carbon and organic ooze life origins, because the numbers just get worse for the evolutionists there. We need not ply the laws of thermodynamics `cause that is even more clear on the subject. You tell me that you don`t think a God could be immutable, OK. Let`s just say He is omnipotent, omipresent, omniscient, and unerringly just. That is probaly someone with whom you might want to get to know on a personal basis, just for selfish reasons. Whatever. I do know this though......He loves you and He is knowledgable enough to make that one celled life form discussed above that Darwin nor Dawkins even come close to understanding. He can be known and knowing Him is a good thing. One sure way not to ever know Him is to exclude Him as being even possible, but then you must explain how that little mycoplasma got here without Him and that really is impossible.
