Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness
By Wendy Wippel

According to Richard Dawkins, science has now erased any need for a creator. No need, Dawkins says, because physics has now revealed every little bit of information with respect to how the universe came to be. My response? Back the bus up, Dawkins. Your mouth done wrote a check your behind can’t cash. And your devil is in the details.

The truth is though, theories for the broad strokes of how the universe might have come to be without supernatural assistance, then you look at the nitty gritty, science doesn’t have much of a clue.

Take the very basic fabric of our world: Atoms. (At least that was the basic fabric of reality most of you reading got while you were in school). Atoms make up all of matter, so atoms comprised of electrons, neutrons, and protons, were the basis of everything.

Until science realized that, neutrons and protons were also comprised of smaller particles. Namely, Quarks.

And here’s the thing. Dawkins and Hawkins and Nye, (“Oh My!) make sure that most of their devoted crony’s never look too deep into the science. Because then they might see the truth for themselves.

That the workings of the universe, when you do look deep into the science, is still completely unexplainable without some kind of driving source. Someone monkeying with the machine.

An outside entity that set the whole thing in motion and that is still involved in its unfolding.

I mean, the universe is still expanding, and, in fact, the expansion is accelerating.

We call that entity God.

Common sense tells us, scientist or not, that if there was a beginning, something or someone had to initiate it.

Again, we call that entity God.

And truth be told, no matter what Dawkins and friends say about science now understanding every little nuance of creation, There’s a lot of science that, right now, nobody can really explain, no matter how much cosmological crowing is going on.

Take that proton, for example– As it “just happens ”, Quarks (smaller, more fundamental particles), come together to make each proton. Three quarks for each proton.

And three quarks for each neutron.

What makes them different, then, you may ask?

All quarks aren’t the same. They come in different “flavors”. Namely: Top, Bottom, Up, Down, strange, and charm.

Wanna make a proton? Two up quarks and a down. Rather have a neutron? Two down quarks and an up.

Which works because—AS IT JUST HAPPENED— the inherent charge of the up quark is 2/3 and the inherent charge of the down is 1/3. Exactly, as precise as we can measure. So that the total charge is, precisely zero.

A neutron. Exactly zero net charge. As precisely as we can measure.

But of course, that just randomly happened.

In other words, scientists don’t really have any explanation for how the charges just happened to synchronize in order to produce protons and neutrons.

Which, by the way, make up all matter.

Which, by the way, is what makes up every bit of our universe.

The one that just happened.

Nor will they until they are willing to put God into the equation.

Dawkins has said that “Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private ‘revelation’.

The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard, however, had a different way of looking at it:

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”

The key word there is “refuse”.

And even God said that ahead of time, didn’t He?

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 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. (Romans 1:18-21)

Pray that their foolish hearts see the light.

Wouldn’t that be something!
