Dear Editor,
“Blessed are the meek as they shall inherit the earth.” – Matthew 5:4.
Too bad James Brescoll blew his inheritance when he wrote that nasty letter on June 18 castigating me for defending David Kaeini, who wrote that abortion is killing at any stage and defended the Catholic faith.
Brescoll is just lucky he lost his inheritance of the earth. Look at the earth: wars, genocide, pestilence, AIDS, poverty, Michael Jackson and President Bush.
The controversy between Brescoll and I rises over the age-old question of “When does life begin?” I believe the cycle of life is perpetuated when the living ovum is fertilized by the living sperm.
Within that fertilized ovum is a helix of DNA encoded with a billion or more bits of information (intelligence) that will determine the characteristics of the developing embryo throughout life – youth, maturity and old age.
This determination of growth and development is determined at the time of fertilization. This complex development could not come about by chance. It is by Intelligent Design. Thus life is not only by design but with a purpose in the scheme of things (nature). Evolutionists would deny this.
The evolutionists are now under attack and are very defensive of their concept of how life began and how the human race developed over millions of years.
Fortunately today several top scientists admit there is overwhelming evidence for Intelligent Design. If Intelligent Design is true, then evolution is false.
But the false evolution concept is fundamental to our educational system. Evolution is taught as a fact at all levels of our schools, including universities.
The great challenge of Intelligent Design vs. evolution will not be solved overnight, but it makes an interesting and prolonged debate. Place your bets accordingly as determined by your world outlook.
