Theophobia Cripples Scientific Thinking
Theophobia is the pathological aversion to anything that might indicate a supernatural being responsible for the universe's existence. It induces a fanatical refusal to even remotely consider the existence od such a being regardless of how compelling the evidence might be. It never ceases to amaze me how glibly such theophobic scientists dismiss the powerful indications of a designing mind in nature.
Evidence of planning ahead indicates Awareness
Nature provides strong examples that indicate meticulous planning ahead in case of a malfunction by providing molecular machines especially equipped to repair specific damages.
The cooperation of systems in order to form an organism.
The need for cellular oxygenation. The provision of lungs to gwt it in from the atmosphere
The presence of a fluid equipped with cells capable od transporting that oxygen to the cells.
A pump to deliver that fluid.
Avenues or veins capillaries and arteries provided with valves to avoid fluid backup to make a cycle of oxygenation, delivery, and re-oxygenation.
A the presence of a DNA code which needs to make sense and needs to be understood in order for its instructions to be carried out and the presence of RNA in order to carry those instructions out.
An automatic response immune system indicating awareness of the dangers that might crop up.
An eliminatory system, indicating awareness of the need to rid the body of waste
The awareness of the need to detoxify poisons that might seriously harm the body and the provision of the detoxifying liver.
An occipital lobe in the brain indicating awareness that neurotransmitter signals from eyes needed to be decoded.
Molecular machines to repair damage in case of malfunctions.
The cooperation of systems in order to form an organism.
The need for cellular oxygenation The provision of lungs to acquire it from the atmosphere
The presence of a fluid equipped with cells capable of transporting that oxygen to the cells.
A pump to deliver that fluid.
Avenues or veins, capillaries and arteries provided with valves to avoid fluid backup to make a cycle of oxygenation, delivery,. and re-oxygenation.
A code which needs to make sense and needs to be understood in order for its instructions to be carried out very precisely in order to avoid malfunction.
The awareness of the need for a defense against bacteria add the formation of an immune system in order to deal with it.
The awareness of the need to rid the body of waste and the provision iof an eliminatory system.
The awareness of the need to detoxify poisons that might seriously harm te body. and provision of the liver.
The awareness that a special place in the brain needed he ability to understand the coded signals of neurotransmitter signals fro organic cameras called eyes.
The awareness that locomotion needed required muscles ad that muscles needed attachments to a sold frame via ligaments and tendons.
Yet, despite the compelling evidence, they stubbornly continue with glib declaration that there is absolutely no evidence or or even a slight indication that a planning mind was involved. Ironically, it isn't even necessary for them to believe that the planning mind is God as described in the Bible or any other religious book. All that is necessary in order not to look peevishly foolish and a victim of the phobia is to admit that there is definitely evidence of design. As to who the designer is or was, that would be an entirely different subject.
But since they fear that admitting that a mind was involved will only serve to encourage the belief in a supernatural being called God, they choose to put all their thinking faculties on hold and pretend to be mentally incapable of reaching an obvious conclusion.
Not so when they encounter evidence of the activity of a mind in other things where creation of the universe is not involved. Then suddenly they are all ears and eyes and their brains suddenly resume the ability to function at a non-idiotic level. A real shame since science is supposed to be the search for truth involving the humble acceptance of discovered facts no matter how bitter might seem to be.
