Author Slams WSJ for Bias

MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- This weekend The Wall Street Journal pitted atheism against God (Sept. 12-13th 2009, page W1). The full-page piece was adorned with huge graphics of Charles Darwin going head-to- head with God. Best-selling author Ray Comfort said, "The problem was that both perspectives were pro-atheistic evolution. It was a farce in the guise of "Man vs. God." The newspaper is free to publish anything they wish, but they are revealing either ignorance or a strong bias. Darwin wasn't anti-God at all. In his famous book Origin of Species Darwin refers to creation as the 'works of God,' and calls Him the 'Creator' an amazing seven times. The Journal's 'pro-God' side of the argument conceded defeat in the very first sentence. It was pathetic. It's precisely because of this prevalent ignorance (or dishonesty) that we are giving away 50,000 copies of Origin of Species throughout universities in the United States this November."

Comfort plans to give away free a 304 page publication of Origin of Species at 50 top universities on the original book's 150th anniversary. It is being published in conjunction with his new book, Nothing Created Everything (World Net Daily) in which he reveals what atheists such as Richard Dawkins actually believe. "I have had many conversations that go like this," Comfort said.

"So you are an atheist. Do you then believe that nothing created everything, which is a scientific impossibility?"

No."

"So you believe that something created everything?"

"Yes."

"Then you're not an atheist."

"Okay."

The author, who hosts an award-winning television program, with actor Kirk Cameron, said, "All you have to do is present unbiased facts about the unscientific and unthinking nature of atheistic evolution, and then watch people change their minds (we have a number of professing atheists do that on camera). And when God is brought back into their worldview, they think about the importance of living in regard to moral absolutes. Evolution says that there is no absolute right or wrong, and that human beings are nothing but meaningless animals. God says that we have worth, and that there is absolute right and wrong. That changes everything."

He added, "We are very excited to give away Origin of Species because the introduction not only reveals Darwin's thoughts on the existence of God, but it lists the theory's many hoaxes, exposes the unscientific belief that nothing created everything, points to the incredible structure of DNA, and the absence of any species-to-species transitional forms. It presents a balanced view of Creationism with information on scientists who believed that God created the universe-- scientists such as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Nicholas Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur and Johannes Kepler."

Not everyone is excited about students getting both sides of the argument. One atheist said, "In this instance, I would advocate book-burning." The full introduction can be freely read on www.livingwaters.com.

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Dan  - Creation vs Evolution:
    Iv'e been reading these comments and to say

    the least their thought provoking. I believe

    in the creator Jesus. Because the Bible which

    I also believe is inerant. Shows me.



    But just saying that won't prove anything to

    a person who rejects the very idea of the one

    true God, or any god for that matter.



    Im not smart enough to be able explain all of

    these things. You might check out information

    provided by the former atheist Dr. Carl Baugh.



    The decision you make effects eternity, and if

    your right then none of this means anything,

    Since were all animals anyway, and when we die

    it's all over.



    But, if Christians are right and you reject

    Jesus and his offer than you'll have to answer

    to him without any recourse. The Lord loves all of us, but He won't be mocked.



    Please, instead of getting angry because neither side is listening. Ask him to
    show you

    OK Richdiskask where in the Bible is it written that we are like filthy rags...
    Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean and all our righteous
    acts are like filthy rags we all shrivel up like a leaf and like the wind our
    sins sweep us away. But I like Matthew 22:37 Love the Lord with all your heart
    and with all your soul and with all your mind. And love your neighbor as
    yourself. It is tragic that you do not believe in God. But if you would just
    read some of the Bible you would see the true nature of Jesus love for mankind.

    I saw a bit of avideo in church this sunday. The fellow stated a parable about a
    truck bearing down on a man in the street and that someone should tell him about
    it and at some point of this guy not listening someone should tackle him to save
    him from the truck. Inerestingly argued. Jesus did just that. Only he tackled
    the truck!

    If a person believes a truck is indeed barrelling down, I appreciate their
    desire to stop it from hitting someone.



    HOWEVER ... if there is indeed NO truck whatsoever, then the savior/helper would
    have to be viewed in a completely different light ...

    The origin of the universe is not something anyone can prove. Saying that
    everything came from nothing is impossible does not therefore mean that God
    exists. It just means we don't know what happened. You choose to believe
    something that is written in an old book... but you can't prove the existence of
    a God any more than I can prove it doesn't exist. We simply can't know. I
    apologize if I've offended anyone. I'm just trying to point out that the logic
    presented here has some flaws.

    The origin of the universe can't be proven YET. Just because we are a class
    zero civilization only 100 or 200 years into its modern age dosent mean that
    there aren't tecnologys out there that my prove or disprove these things.

    I also believe in an old not so dusty 'cause it's in a vacuum chamber document
    that is hand written and I can barely read the author's scratchings. It is call
    the Constitution of the United States of America. Does that mean the USA does
    not exist? a logical statement using your logical assumptions.



    Of course the answer is the USA is visible there and self evident! So is God's
    creation. As a result one can state the existance of the constitutions author's
    and the existance of God is the same issue.

    "we simply can't know..." The only reason you know anything is because
    you were taught it.Only very rarely is there an epiphanic original thought that
    has never before happened.

    another thing about this expansion theory...everytime i read anything about it
    these very intelligent men speak only of the univeral bodies moving away from
    us-ie. red shifted. It is where the "big bang" came fromand then morfed
    into the singularity stuff you are considering.



    What about all the universal bodies moving toward us-ie blue shifted. did they
    bounce or is the universe shriking as fast as it is expanding?



    No I got it! The other universe's bodies have invaded ours. THey have crossed
    over from their universe to our and vice vesra! But where is the rift? it is
    everywhere yet nowhere. How do find it?

    I read books by verified scientists, People like Michio Kaku (Theoritical

    tell me, what gives you the right to talk about somthing you know nothing about?
    Just because you haven't heard about this theory, dosn't mean it doesnt exist,
    It just means your Either ignorant, or you heard from someone else that it isn't
    true and frogot about it.

    Fascinating! BTW: My post was little more than satire. Maybe you can take a
    graduate level course in humor so that you can know it exists and then recognize
    it when you see it. BTW: I am niether ignorant nor mislead. The most recent
    book that I am reading is "How To Be Born Again" by Billy Graham. It is
    my second time through it. I really enjoy how Billy explains things. He is a
    blessing. But you meant science, Mostly from Geordi LaForge and Montgomery

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Drew  - the point
    The original point here was not a pro or con on the position, just pointing out
    that the conclusion drawn is not based on reason. Doesn't mean it's the WRONG
    conclusion ... you just can't get there from here.



    If no one can know (currently) what existence was "before" the big bang
    ... the no one knows - period. Could have been something (maybe the last
    universe before testing a LHC? :p), could have been nothing ...



    "Must be God" is not a logical conclusion - it's a shoehorn. Doesn't
    mean it's not the right answer, but that it can't be inferred ...

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Glen  - reason
    Who said it was not drawn by reason? Are there an esoteric set of reason rules?
    And one can get there from here, Drew. As before I have stated that there is
    One that knows what existed before and He has told us. That one is God. Full
    revelation has come through Jesus of Nazareth. I never say "It must be
    God". I say and testify to "God has told Us". Your answers always
    lead to there is no right or wrong and that is your down fall. There is
    absolute right, Just, and Good. Jesus is His name! Glory to Him!

    I chose to believe, not only that but MORE importantly I accepted Jesus Christ

    Proof? Proof is not the point. Ephesians 2:8 states, "For by grace you

    will get the proof you demand--one day--Guaranteed! Just don't be naive enough
    to wait for the proof before you have faith. If you think about it, on
    judgement day, every single soul will BELIEVE. Yet, for only a few will it not
    be too late. If you will, hell is full of believers---they believed only after

    This is full of holes, its so holey, that it Looks like swiss cheese.



    Where to start, with the fact that most of the scientists that you mention were
    alive before our civilization existed in "modern" terms. Or that
    misconception that exists in the form of "nothing created nothing."



    I'll start with the big bang. The Big Bang is not, in then traditional sense,
    an explosion. It is a massive expandature of Space-Time which releases large
    amounts of Matter-Energy into the that expandature. This hyperdense expanding
    miniverse soon, and when I say soon, expands into a universe like our own.



    Now you may say: "but this expandature comes from nothing!" Where as I
    replie: "HA! Wrong!" Warning, this concept I am about to talk about is
    extremly hard to imagine, and is on the border of inimaginablity. This universe
    exists as one of many. Each one has diffrent fundemental forces...

    PROVE to me that the "Big Bang" was "a massive expanditure of
    Space-Time... yadda yadda yadda". TRUE science MUST be repeatable. You
    cannot. Ergo: for all your arrogance and pseudo-science, you are nothing more
    than a believer in soemething you have neither seen nor heard. GASP! Your
    "science" is your religion! Wake up and delve deep. Look for TRUTH.
    Do not accept what others have told you. Find out for yourself. God says that
    those who seek Him will find Him. Have you ever even THOUGHT about doing some
    checking for yourself? or do you just consume whatever has been handed to you as
    long as it fits with your pre-conceived notions?

    I was a sceptic. I was a believer in the "big bang" and
    "evolution" until I took the time to study it for myself. I would
    challenge you to do it today. Do not wait. You never know how much time you
    have left on this planet. May God be with y...

    Hmm, I love this. I was once talking to a friend, and we were debateing. He
    brought a very good point onto me. I would try to prove my arguements but he
    would say: "But you can't PROVE to me that this happened" And nothing
    I would say would beat this. I couldn't prove that Hydrogen Fuses into Helium
    in the center of stars. Much less could I prove that the Big Bang is a massive
    expanditure of Space-Time. Needless to say, I lost that debate.



    But a curious thing happens when a scientific mind loses a debate. And this is
    what makes the scientific mind diffrent from the normal and religous minds. I
    thought over what I said, what he said, the points he brought up, the points I
    brought up. And I saw my Error, the same Error that you are using right now.

    There is one more point I would like to bring up. Where as the Big Bang Theory
    does have actual evidence to back it up, in the form of Cosmic Background
    Radiation, and Red Shift. The other theorys I brought up, I.E: The Multiverse
    Theory, and M-theory, Only really work in math. It has no testable evidence to
    back it up. Does that make it automaticaly wrong? You would say that it does,
    and thus proving mine right because of your lack of evidence!



    There are two points I want to put up this time. The first is, even if there is
    no evidence to support or refute a hypothesis, doesn't mean that that evidence
    will not be found in the future. Especially if the Hypothesis works in MATH.



    Second, even if the hypothesis is wrong, dosent mean that there aren't better
    hypothesisie out there. You almost certainly do not need to envoke God to
    explain the phemomena that accur. This does not conflict with a belief in a...

    No. True scientific experiments must be repeatable. Scientific experiment does
    not equal scientific theory. Theories explain what is found in these
    experiments. The Big Bang Theory explains red shift and the Universe's
    background radiation very well and is not contradicted by anything and so it is
    accepted as the current explanation for these observations.

    There is no absolute truth in science. I do not believe in scientific theories
    but I accept them as the best current explanation of the observations that they
    explain. They are subject to change as soon as contradictory observations are
    made. Theories are impossible to prove correct but also should be impossible to
    disprove with the observations of the time.

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Steve  - Space-Time cannot product Matter
    Thermodynamics already proves this

    Energy = Work, things in science always degrade they don't increase, then
    degrade to the point in which they can produce no more energy.

    Space-Time produces nothing.

    Space is the emptiness / nothingness between matter ? In fact Space is the lack
    of everything else.
    So you have nothing aka Space in between matter if and when matter comes into
    existence.

    So if you have no matter, then you have Space which is emptiness, and then your
    topic of Space-Time which does not equate to anything.

    Please describe what you call Space-Time
    This simply does not make much sense to me and I doubt it makes much sense to
    anyone else. Although some could care about this it's likely that most simply do
    not.

    I happen to be one of these freaks who do enjoy discussing these types of
    topics.

    You are right, I did not give a definition to spacetime in the first half of the
    post, and I cannot remeber if I did in the second half (the part that is cut
    off) So the result is a ton of confusion.



    Now, before I begin to bastradize this subject(I might not be able to help you
    understand this) I will suggest to you a book, it is called
    "Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku.



    This reminds me that I will have to reread that book too, I know the Laws of
    Thermodynamics. I also know how they work, but

    for the moment I cannot think straight, it is too late in the night to think
    about this, so I will come back in a while to give an anwser. And I am not
    happy that that post got cut off, I'm pretty sure I explained in the latter half

    I do know that the theorys that I speek of exist mostly in math. But they are
    better than "god did it" because it is possible to test them. Maybe not
    with our current level of technology, but still certaintly possible.



    Now, I hope you are aware that my comments were cut off due to constraints (they
    need to fix that somehow) but I said later on in those posts that I was unlike
    fundmentalists because if Evidence came up that disproved my theories, then I
    was wrong and had to change them.



    Now with that is said, you are right about one thing, those theorys only exist
    in Math with small amounts of observable evidence. But I will point out that
    many theorys came into being before the evidence could be found to support them
    because they had a Mathmatical Equations to support them. Indead, Mathmatics
    holds alot of sway in Science, more so than God for that matter.

    answer, the knee-jerk response that basically says "just leave me alone and
    let me believe what I want". The problem is, when someone truly is a

    by watching you die in your sin and unbelief without at least telling you the

    Musn't God then, having created all the complexity of life, also be ultimately
    complex?



    Since you say complex things must have a creator, and God must be a complex
    entity - then who created God? And who created God's creator? And so on, and

    I would be happy to express this subject the best I can.

    I think I understand your statement here and would like to try to clarify.

    You see science has given you the idea of cause and effect, nothing from nothing
    leaves nothing. = No cause = No effect.

    So if there was nothing in the beginning then you would still have nothing,
    since there would be no cause and no effect.
    But this is scientific view and not really that of a Creation theory.

    You have stated:
    Since you say complex things must have a creator, and God must be a
    complex entity - then who created God? And who created God's creator? And so
    on, and so on...?

    Response:
    But this spawns from the scientific view that nothing comes from nothing. In
    other words these are the views of science not necessarily a Creation view.

    And so whats happening here is that the Creationist is trying to review the
    scientific view of some...

    Hi

    CRAZYYY is right, consider this:

    You said
    1. i believe in science and the
    proof of science

    Response:
    You have somehow missed the point. I believe that since science sort of claims
    to be the pursuit of truth and that the observation or concrete evidence is
    required in order to be considered proof or fact, then this is the very subject
    in which is questioned and not necessarily the subject matter itself. So to say
    that you believe in science and the proof of science is either something your
    just repeating or something you've been told and believe. The reason I say this
    is because as the site has pointed out many times over that many of the things
    you claim you believe in have not basis in science what so ever and that you
    simply continue to believe in those things based on nothing more then faith and
    faith alone. And although proving that many of the topics that you may currently

    Erica, honey you are most cretainly not crazy. You are a member of the
    "Entitlement" generation. It goes something like this, you are entitled
    to anything wrong and no one is allowed to tell you that it is wrong.

    Like stealing. No no don't tell me that is wrong. Like lying. No,no don't you
    dare tell me that is wrong.

    Erica, once you have taken a stand the even one ting is wrong you have become a
    hipcrite in your own ways becasue now you are drwing a line boyond which you

    Erica, I understand your plight, but that post was pointless. You did not
    sucecced in anything than makeing other atheists and yourself look like idiots.
    You used no grammer, and you put it in terms of "YOU" in most of it and
    did not defend yourself at all. In short, you do not use evidence. You do not
    support yourself, and indoing so, you put forward a weak arguement.



    Now I agree with you on the topic, that Ray has no right to say what an atheist
    is, and that I belive in Scientific theorys that are supported by imperical
    evidence. But please try to not troll.

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Skeen  - You've got it all wrong
    Erica,



    You've got it all wrong. Christians don't look down on you. And science is
    flawed. How many times over the past 20 years (the height of modern science)
    has science corrected itself? How many times have you heard, "It has been
    common knowledge up to now that...But, now it's been discovered that..." It
    was only 60 years ago that medical science's rule in surgery was "Do not
    touch the heart." Science books from just 10 years ago are in error due to
    new discoveries. How can you place all your hope to the questions of God's
    existence on a doctrine (science) that constantly proves itself wrong?

    Einstein did not believe in the Christian god. He believe in Spinoza's god. To
    imply that he believed in the Christian god is a falsehood. Christian should
    not lie to promote their faith. I am a former believer who has discovered the
    truth. There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Santa Claus and organised religion
    doesn't have a clue to the truth. I do.

    THESE ARE PAGAN TRADITIONS THAT WERE MIXED IN. THE BIBLE SAYS WE SHOULDN'T HOLD
    TRADITIONS, BUT BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD. THE WORD EASTER IS DERIVED FROM THE
    NAME OF A PAGAN (FALSE) "goddess", AND OFFENSIVE TO GOD.

    Athiest: No." (sic.)

    RC: "So you believe that something created everything?"

    A: "Yes."

    RC: "Then you're not an atheist."

    A: "Okay." (facepalm) "Mr. Comfort, your first question begs the
    question of whether everything was 'created', and also begs the question of what
    is something and what is nothing. Your arguments are reductio ad absurdum
    applied improperly, conclusory, and flat wrong. I would welcome a dialogue on

    Mr. Johnson,

    I (obviously) am not Ray Comfort. However, I felt compelled to open a discourse
    with you. However, as I began writing my opening statement that would (I had
    hoped) initiate the dialogue, I took a moment to re-read your response to Mr.
    Comfort. With your statement, "... your first question begs the question of
    whether

    everything was 'created', and also begs the question of what is something and

    what is nothing," I determined that you are not rational enough to converse
    with. A very good day to you.

    Praise God for a man of God like Ray Comfort who is willing to take on the
    skeptics on their own turf. I prefer to refer to them as such, rather than

    "atheists", because, as Ray points out in the title of his excellent
    book,

    "God doesn't believe in atheists", there really is no such thing. They
    use their "atheism" as a convenient excuse to try and hide their real
    problem: sinful self righteousness, which God's word describes as "filthy
    rags". This is nothing but unbelieving pride. It is pride, not
    "evidence", that is the ONLY obstacle to the skeptic being saved. They
    simply refuse to believe, because believing that "there IS a God"
    logically leads to what they avoid like the plague: PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

    No man wants to acknowledge he is wrong and God is right, that we will all one
    day be judged by our Creator. Sinners love their sin, they are self centered,

    Absolutely right on. When those that can see and understand His words,
    understand what He says about those who cant see or understand, then we must
    understand that it should not frustrate us but should teach us so that we can
    point to them and teach our own why they cant understand and will not
    understand. It is our duty to help those who are willing to see and hear do that
    but the rest have a father as mentioned in His words and he has claimed them and
    while they act in blindful ignorance and call themselves the brilliant they act
    just as the father that has claimed their lives for eternity. We are not of this

    What scripture describes atheists as "filthy rags"?



    I've also heard many, MANY Christians use that same word - "filthy" -
    to describe Muslims and Jews.



    So is the practice of another religion equivilent to atheism? Is there any
    scripture to support an answer to that question?

    hey rich since you like to look go to biblegateway.com and search these subects
    under "keyword" searches. There you will find truth about what God
    says. The "filthy rags" issue is about all people, btw. Good works as
    we call them don't impress God because it is nothing more than a bribe. God is
    Holy, yes, but also right-eous and just. I spelled righteous witha hyphen on
    purpose. A bribe is a corrupt practice and to accept it would also be corrupt.
    God is not corrupt. He is right-eous. Everything He does is right. Hard for
    us to grasp since all we know is corrupt. Many people claim to be christians but
    don't even know what it means to be one. In fact, many christians think their
    good works inside their church will get them to pass. Some even think a
    "coat tial" from their parents or spouses will get them in. Any way I
    suggest you look. good luck!

    Amusing.

    I wasn't aware that you could read the mind of every person lacking belief in a
    deity and see this.

    The funny thing is that I have spent years of my life learning, observing and
    searching before coming to the conclusion that, at present, there is
    insufficient evidence for me to believe in a deity.

    I have no qualms about taking responsibility for my actions. If there is indeed
    a deity and I am judged when I die, let him strike me down to Hell if that be
    the consequence for being true to myself and not feigning belief where it is
    not. I cannot force myself to believe in a deity.

    I am not sure what your fisrt sentence was in reference too. But i'd like to
    state clearly to you that your very existance should be enough evidence for you
    to know God is. But something has taken you and told you that you know more
    than even He and this is why you cannot see the evidence before your eyes.
    Sparky, have you ever killed anyone? likely answer is no. So i'd follow up with
    why? The answer I'd prefer is because it's wrong. Then I'd say who told you
    that? THe other esponse is I don't want to go to jail. Which I'd respond the
    consequence is too great for you. Sparky Jail is nothing compared to eternal
    life without God. It is called hell and comes with some nasty punishments. I
    can tesify that I would not want even my worst enemy to enure this wrath. I
    would suggest intesad of trying to find Him in mans books go directly to Him. If

    send to hell the people who don't belive in him, (I.E: everyone who is not

    Sadly you don't think Jail is a humorous topic yet men still go there. And to

    Grow up fella. The fact that you must resort to name cilling is telling. now.
    let us try to be intelligent. I do not do good because I will go to hell if I
    don't. This is not what Christianity is about. Nor am I self righteous. The
    carrier of the message is not the message nor is he responsible for it.

    I could not resists using this one again. To drive home the thought. Many
    people do what the law defines as good so they will not go to Jail; ie. be
    punished. If this is tuely simple thought then many are guilty of it just
    trying to stay out of man's jail system. So why then does our government jail
    people who don't believe in their system? I just morphed your statement.

    that this stuff actually did take place (also consider extra-biblical writings

    could say "well maybe somebody told Jesus what these prophesies were so
    that's why he fulfilled them. I would say that's partly true. Jesus choose to
