Moses, Myth and Medicine

Faith is easily dismissed by those who adhere to the religion of science. The central tenets of humanistic science as a religion include:

• Classic Darwinian Evolution (All the way from mud to monkeys to man)
• Survival of the Fittest
• Absence of a God in the image of father
• Scorn for many traditional religious forms
• Active suppression of viewpoints contradictory to these central tenets

The great shame of this position is the denial of religious adherence. The scientific basis of classical Darwinism is extrapolated from multiple data points that in no way complete a factual picture. Yes, Darwin's theory is just that, theoretical. To dismiss all other points of view is "heretical." The end result of absolute faith in Darwinian mechanistic evolution is a subtle creeping racism, rejection of God and academic tyranny.

As a medical professional it is easy to see the most basic elements of intelligent design throughout human existence. To eliminate the possibility of creation as the genesis of man is unfathomably foolish. (BTW "The fool says in his heart that there is no God."). I can't help but see the failure of modern scientific thought to capture the fullness of human experience. We are body, soul and spirit at our best. Why not acknowledge the possibility that God actually does connect with us without hallucination? That would suggest that the experience of the presence of God would be part of normal human existence. Now that's worth researching!
