God and fossil fuels

If God put all the fossil fuels in the ground, which of these two might have been his will.

1) God put the fossil fuels in the ground to help people prosper when they developed the skills to use those fuels.

2) God put the fossil fuels in the ground to keep people from squandering them and thus destroying his creation.

Capsule explanation of scientist-creationist conflict

Juli Berwald, a science textbook writer, recently testified in favor of science at the Texas State Board of Education hearings science education standards.

In a Wired blog she encapsulated the conflict into scientists want to figure out how without worrying about why and creationists want to figure out why without worrying about how.

If God created the world, why is it falling apart?

As we drove across eastern Montana, we marveled at the buttes and other rock formations. Most were sandstone in many layers, some brown, some gray, and some red. Their common features were the cracks, erosions, and the tallus at the bottom (the buildup of broken rock). When we were westbound last week, we saw a sign that said, "Watch for falling rock."

Creationism is hubris

Those who study evolution observe how God created life. Creationists tell God how He created life.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
