Mohler Monday: On Richard Dawkins

   Cover of The God Delusion

A man who is genuinely certain that Christianity is passing away would feel no need to write a 400-page book in order to urge its passing. -- Albert Mohler, commenting on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, 2006, here.

Quote of the Day: "The essence of theological liberalism is to discard what the modern world finds offensive"

This is another basic point of agreement.  If the biblical doctrine of creation falls, the entire storyline of the Bible falls apart.  The very essence of theological liberalism is to discard what the modern world finds offensive and save what parts of the Christian message can be preserved or salvaged.  Dawkins understands what many theological liberals do not — that there is no way to save any coherent form of Christian truth without the biblical doctrine of creation.  Those who would abandon the biblical account of creation undermine the entire Christian truth claim. -- Albert Mohler, 2008, here.

Quote of the day: "At some point a particularly remarkable molecule was formed by accident."

At some point a particularly remarkable molecule was formed by accident. We will call it the Replicator. It may not have been the biggest or the most complex molecule around, but it had the extraordinary property of being able to create copies of itself. -- Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Notice the words. Remarkable. Extraordinary. Accident. thud.

Question for Richard: How does he know this molecule he posits really formed? Mere speculation? Because naturalism is assumed, and a naturalistic explanation demands it?

Second Question for Richard: How does he know it was by accident? How can Richard know whether this molecule, if indeed it formed at all, formed by accident or by the wilful act of an Agent? Is stating that it was by accident actual science, philosophy, or just-plain wishful thinking?

Science, philosophy, speculation, just plain wishful thinking?
