The Truth Process

Many of you may be familiar with Matthew 25 where Jesus tells the story of the 10 virgins. The Bridegroom represents Jesus in this parable. The Bride represents the Church and the 10 virgins represent those of us who would like to be present at the wedding-- church members so to speak. In the parable, 5 virgins were wise and 5 virgins were foolish. The foolish ones had no oil in their lamps and the wise had oil. Drawing on some aspects of this parable, I would like to talk about The Church of Jesus Christ for a moment in another analogy. A young man meets a young woman. She is intelligent, kind, beautiful and virtually perfect in every way. He is so happy with her. He learns so many things about her that he thinks he knows everything. They are married and he couldn't possibly be any happier. He finds out that there are some people that hate his beautiful bride, but he tells everyone about how perfect she is.  As time passes, the honeymoon period ends. They stop spending a...

Is there evidence for an intelligent designer? PART A: EMPIRICAL LOGICAL EVIDENCE 1. The more intricate and complex something is, the more likely it is to be the product of an intelligent design and the less likely it is to the product of spontaneously assembly. Example: Landing on another planet and finding a rock that looks like a skull would be less likely to be the product of intelligent design than if a spaceship or computer was discovered. 2. Super ridiculously insanely complex stuff exists, therefore it is very reasonably probable that it was the result of intelligent design. Example: just to model the most simple life form requires 128 computers: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/07/to-model-the-simplest-microbe-in-the-world-you-need-128-computers/260198/ 3. The idea that life could exist through a series of extremely improbable random events combined with evolution actually increases the argument for intelligent design because if evolution is p...

I hear a lot of people say something to the effect of: "Intelligent design is a less adequate theory for the origin of life because Evolution explains how all of life could spontaneously assemble" Does that statement actually make logical sense? I think this line of thinking needs to be evaluated more thoroughly. This article is written to discuss and analyze the theory of intelligent design in comparison to the theory of spontaneous assembly. Typically intelligent design (not involving evolution) is compared to spontaneously assembly (involving evolution). However, in this article, intelligent design (involving evolution) is compared to spontaneous assembly (involving evolution versus spontaneous assembly without evolution). The main point being argued is that the attribute of something with evolution capacity is SO complex that its existence becomes MORE improbable, and this improbability amplifies the validity of the theory of intelligent design. Life would be...
