ATHEISM-5-30-2010

ATHEIST: It most certainly can be both. It's all in how you perceive it. Is the flower red, or is the flower reflecting all wavelengths except the red ones? Now you have the eyes of a butterfly and can see colors in the ultraviolet range. What color is the flower now? What color is the flower in a room with no sunlight, no wavelengths to reflect? If you are color-blind and cannot distinguish red from green, is the apple still red? You, sir, are DNA-blind. You cannot see in the "ultraviolet range" of possibilities. .

Russ: Isn’t it wonderful how God gave us the ability to see His magnificent creation in color? You ought to give Him a great big “Thank you.”

Why does a mother hen sit on her chicks and die in a fire to protect THEIR future and not her own? Why does a soldier fall on a grenade to protect the future of others and not his own?

Your arguments are all about the HOW and not about the WHY because you see absolutely no REASON behind what happens other than blind mutant chance. In your philosophy you are only the result of a million mutant chances with nothing moral behind them. You could just as easily be a mass murderer but there is sill nothing “immoral” about that because a mass murderer is merely doing what his/her genetic code commanded.

I see good “morality” as the image of God within his creation, whether man or animal. I see bad “morality:” as the result of SIN. You excuse all bad morality and I do not. You see the “possibility” (no – reality!) that the most immoral criminal is not guilty because he/she is merely scratching an urge from DNA. I see the “possibility” (yes –possibility) that anybody can change through the power of God changing a person’s inner being through conversion. My possibility is your impossibility unless a chance mutant gene changes you from the inside out.
