The Law of Accidents

In spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, there are still those scientists, teachers and others who doggedly stick to the story/fable that everything we see is the result of happenstance, thrown together over uncountable billions of years. All the excuses, arguments and made-up theories such as Big Bang, Evolution, Chance, etc. are fabricated for the sole purpose of eliminating the idea of a 'Higher Power' in the universe. And to all of these propositions there is but one answer: LAW.

So, maybe in some alternate universe there is something like life without law, but here...everything is 'governed' by law. First of all, you have the Laws of Nature. This is not one but multiple laws. From the time we are small children we discover these wonderful laws and it is explained to us that these laws are undeniable and irrefutable. For instance, birds and fish cannot mate and produce bird-fish. This is a law. Water is lighter and larger when frozen. This is also according to law. If it were not so, the whole earth would be useless. We have the Laws of Physics, the Laws of Genetics, the Laws of the Elements, Laws of Mathematics, Laws of the Universe and the list goes on.

In fact, there is not one single particle of our existence and surroundings that is not covered and governed by binding laws. All of this not only suggest, but shouts that if you have a law, you have order, not chaos. If you have order, you must also have design. If you have design, you must have a designer. What I am wondering is how this immutable fact has escaped the supposedly brilliant minds of our day?

How can you look at a complex machine and say, “This must have taken millions of years to evolve into it's present form, because it is so complex.”? Well, it would be absurd to say such a thing. But it is equally...no, it is even more absurd to look at, know about and study life, the laws of nature and of the universe and say that all of this law, order, complexity, unity and beauty just happened to get this way because of a bunch of accidents and a lot of time.

So briefly, what they are telling us, in their poorly designed fable, is that if you take a whole bunch of cars and crash them together with nothing more than the power which came from within themselves and let them sit for a long, long time after that, without acting upon them in any way (because there cannot be any intelligent design), that eventually we would see a Lamborghini appearing slowly out of the rubble, one piece at a time, growing, forming and creating itself, wanting to form a new car out of the rubble of a very large accident. At first we might see just little nuts and bolts forming and then, because they knew, (after becoming conscious, of course), that this was not enough, they would see that there needed to be more nuts and bolts. Then, when there was nothing but nuts and bolts everywhere, they would decide that the nuts and bolts needed to start holding something together, so some of the nuts and bolts would start shaping differently into flat objects which the nuts and bolt would attach to, forming little blobs of metal held together by nuts and bolts. From there, time would do the rest and eventually, billions and billions of years later, we would have a beautiful, well-oiled working machine... a self-aware, thinking Lamborghini.

Does this sound sensible? Does this sound believable? Does this sound like the truth? If you answered no to any of these questions then, congratulations! You can think! Perhaps the thing that annoys me most about the assumptions of those who teach such foolish, idiotic fables to us and our children is that they assume that we will actually believe them; that we cannot think far enough ahead or behind to realize that what they are telling us is the biggest hunk of (%&*#) that anyone ever passed off as truth. Someone must think we are pretty stupid to believe such things and allow such tales to be taught as truth both to us and to our children. Maybe it has something to do with the laws of human nature. But wait. If there is a law, there is order and if there is order, there is design and if there is design...
