1 Thessalonians 5:21
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
Meet Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig, a brilliant scientist who worked at the Max-Planck Institute until his retirement. Though he has written four books on the subject of evolution, he has infuriated evolutionists everywhere by daring to challenge Neo-Darwinism on scientific grounds.
He told the Diplomacy Post in March 2014: “A scientific hypothesis should be potentially falsifiable…. However,” he added, “the idea of slow evolution by ‘infinitesimally small inherited variations’ etc. has been falsified by the findings of palaeontology… as well [as] genetics. Yet its adherents principally reject any scientific proof against Neo-Darwinism,” he said, “so that, in fact, their theory has become a non-falsifiable worldview, to which people stick in spite of all contrary evidence.”
Scientists continue to support evolution despite the evidence that actually falsified evolution because “without Darwinism, philosophic materialism has lost its battle against an intelligent origin of the world.”
But Wolf had more to say. “According to Neo-Darwinism, all important problems of the origin of species are, at least in principle, solved. Further questions on the validity of evolutionary theory are thus basically superfluous. However, such a dogmatic attitude stops further investigations and hinders fruitful research in science.”
Though Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig has stopped short of giving recognition to God as the Intelligent Designer, we applaud his work for showing that evolution doesn’t even deserve to be called scientific.
Prayer:
Father, I pray for Intelligent Design proponents. Though they understand that the creation requires an intelligent designer, many of them still don’t realize that the Intelligent Designer is Jesus! Amen.
