On giving up Darwin.

 Wisdom Wednesday: Yale Polymath David Gelernter’s Farewell to Darwinism


Afew years ago, the brilliant Yale University polymath David Gelernter wrote an essay entitled “Giving Up Darwin — A fond farewell to a brilliant and beautiful theory,” in which he made a stunning confession: “Stephen Meyer’s thoughtful and meticulous π˜‹π˜’π˜³π˜Έπ˜ͺ𝘯’𝘴 π˜‹π˜°π˜Άπ˜£π˜΅ convinced me that Darwin has failed.”

Is Gelernter a creationist? No. Is he a proponent of intelligent design? No. “There’s no reason,” Gelernter wrote in the Claremont Review of Books, “to doubt that Darwin successfully explained the small adjustments by which an organism adapts to local circumstances: changes to fur density or wing style or beak shape. Yet there are many reasons to doubt whether he can answer the hard questions and explain the big picture — not the fine-tuning of existing species but the emergence of new ones. The origin of species is exactly what Darwin cannot explain.”

Gelernter summarizes: “π˜‹π˜’π˜³π˜Έπ˜ͺ𝘯’𝘴 π˜‹π˜°π˜Άπ˜£π˜΅ is one of the most important books in a generation. Few open-minded people will finish it with their faith in Darwin intact.”

That might sound like a scary thought. Some may not be willing to read Meyer’s book and risk losing their faith in the science we’ve been told is all settled. But don’t you wonder why a brilliant guy like Professor Gelernter would give up Darwin? Read his true confession here

One atheist says the quiet part out loud?

 

Micah Chapter 3 New World Translation (2013 edition)

 3.I said: “Hear, please, you heads of Jacob


And you commanders of the house of Israel.+


Should you not know what is just?


 2 But you hate what is good+ and love what is bad;+


You tear off the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.+


 3 You also eat the flesh of my people+


And strip off their skin,


Smashing their bones, crushing them to pieces,+


Like what is cooked in a pot,* like meat in a cooking pot.


 4 At that time they will call to JEHOVAH for help,


But he will not answer them.


He will hide his face from them at that time,+


Because of their wicked deeds.+


 5 This is what JEHOVAH says against the prophets who are leading my people astray,+


Who proclaim ‘Peace!’+ while they bite* with their teeth+


But who declare* war against him who puts nothing into their mouths:


 6 ‘You will have night;+ there will be no vision;+


There will only be darkness for you, no divination.


The sun will set on the prophets,


And the day will turn dark for them.+


 7 The visionaries will be put to shame,+


And the diviners will be disappointed.


All of them will have to cover over the mustache,*


For there is no answer from God.’”


 8 As for me, I am filled with power by the spirit of JEHOVAH,


And with justice and might,


To tell to Jacob his revolt and to Israel his sin.


 9 Hear this, please, you heads of the house of Jacob


And you commanders of the house of Israel,+


Who detest justice and who make crooked all that is straight,+


10 Who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.+


11 Her leaders* judge for a bribe,+


Her priests instruct for a price,+


And her prophets practice divination for money.*+


And yet they lean on JEHOVAH,* saying:


“Is not JEHOVAH with us?+


No calamity will come upon us.”+


12 So because of you,


Zion will be plowed up as a field,


Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins,+


And the mountain of the House* will become like high places in a forest.*+
