Daniel Balas on Evolution
Question
I don’t understand biology all that well.
Recently I was referred to the site: https://www.haemet.net/articles/creation/haemet/the_absolute_truth.htm “The Absolute Truth.”
It sounds like the author is claiming that believing in evolution is not rational.
I wanted to ask whether you’ve come across this before, and what your opinion is on the matter.
Answer
I’m not familiar with it. If there’s a specific claim, you can post it here.
From what I saw there, if you strip away the verbiage and the new terms he uses, there’s one claim:
It’s not plausible that evolution happened by pure chance.
That claim is, of course, very true.
He is, of course, ignoring option C: evolution happened by the hand of the Holy One, blessed be He.
It’s easy for him to ignore that possibility, because he also ignores the evidence in favor of evolution.
