Their Foolish Hearts were Darkened

I went to see Ben Stein's movie Expelled, No Design Allowed, tonight with my wife. It was an interesting film. The basic premise of the film is that Darwinist Evolutions in school systems and universities do not even allow other scientists to consider whether or not our universe has a designer. Stein argues that when people propose an argument from "intelligent design", they are censured in the academic community and run the risk of being ostracized.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the movie is a scene that features Richard Dawkins and Ben Stein. Richard Dawkins wrote a book called The Blind Watchmaker, that is perhaps the most popularly read contemporary book on Neo-Darwin evolution theory. Strangely however, in Expelled, Dawkins admits that it is very possible that the first cell was "seeded" by a being of higher intelligence. He, himself, states that he believers it is very possible that their is an intelligent originator of the Universe. While he says he does not believe the first cell was created by an intelligent designer, he concedes that it is possible that an intelligent originator was behind the first development of a cell. It is hard to believe that this person cannot see the disconnect in their own thinking. Dawkins has been debating against all who propose Intelligent Design for years and now it seems that he admits that the origin of life could be in an intelligent designer. Of course, however, Dawkins is positive that there is no possible way this intelligent designer could be God of the bible.

Well, check out the clip below and consider the following verses from the scriptures as you watch the clip.

John 1:3. "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

Colossians 1:16, "For By Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him"

or as concerning the Jewish unbeliever, 2 Cor. 3:15 - "But even to this day, when Moses is read a veil lies on their heart..." or Romans 1:21-22., "because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools..."
