This know-nothing anti-science bullshit was written in December 2017. Can you guess what idiot country this Christian fucktard lives in?

Evolution makes this moron for Jeebus cry.

Hobson's views should inspire more thinking ... about columns

Art Hobson tells us to "Believe less, think more" [Dec. 12]. A good place to start is with almost everything he tells us in his columns. In this latest he takes yet another jab at Christians with remarks like "biased nonsense ... pre-conceived beliefs ... virgin births ... etc." He mocks "creationism," asserting that evolution is "massively supported by ... the majority of scientists." (And 100 percent of the designers and builders of the Titanic agreed that she was "unsinkable.")

I wish to ask the professor several questions. Space limits these to only a few of many. If evolution is "settled science" as one local pastor has claimed, why is the earth not full of the fossil evidence for it? To the frustration of those who want verification for their dearly loved theory, it is not. Where is the evidence for one species evolving into another, that is, an isolated breeding group with new body parts and complex organs? There is none. God has decreed that each will reproduce "after its kind." Countless breeds of dogs, but they're all dogs.

We see in nature many examples of symbiosis, the "intimate living together of two dissimilar organisms in a mutually beneficial relationship." As an example, some termites eat only cellulose (wood, like your house) but they can't digest it! In their intestines are microscopic "flagellates" that do the digesting. But these creatures cannot exist in free oxygen. Prof. Hobson, please tell us how this situation could "evolve." How could it work "half-evolved"or even "almost evolved?"

Finally there is something called "irreducible complexity." Many things, body parts, machines, etc., cannot function if even one working part is missing. Like a simple mousetrap, with one of its very few parts missing. Whatever it is now, it won't catch any mice. Tiny organisms, invisible to the naked eye, are seen to have mobility with a tiny "motor" and a "tail." Without these they could not exist. Thus we see a "complex" situation which is "non-reducible." Was there a time when this was "half-evolved?" Does this not all suggest, perhaps to those who are "thinking more," that there is a designer? Those of us who are "thinking more," as Hobson encourages, see design all around us and in us!

In this culture of increasing hostility of people of faith, I write this to encourage those who have a personal relationship with the Designer, the same One who took on the form of man at His birth in Bethlehem. We know why He came, and we especially celebrate this at this time of year.
