This is from an Eric Lee (who’s a completely awesome guy):
[W]e atheists are in a state of rebellion and sin, if all our claims are based on untestable assumptions, then we scientists must have done a great disservice to the world.
Allow me to apologize then, on behalf of all those who study and practice science, for the inventions that we have created. Instead of studying science, which is a waste of time, we should instead be reading, learning, and preaching the gospel.
We should be praying to God to provide for us, to cure us of diseases, to fill us with knowledge, to protect us from harm, and to help others in need.
We apologize for developing ways to grow more food to feed the hungry.
We apologize for developing ways to fight disease and cure the sick.
We apologize for developing ways to make information available to everyone.
We apologize for developing ways to protect us from our enemies.
We apologize for trying to help people who don’t agree with us, for trying to help people who consider us godless and condemned.We apologize for making baseless assumptions and informed guesses.
Instead, we should realize that all our fossils came from animals which were created at the same time, and made at around the same time, during Noah’s flood. Even though it seems odd that dinosaurs, which must have died during the flood, since they aren’t mentioned throughout the Bible, were fossilized, and became fossils because of the flood, but not a single human fossil has been found in the same areas.
We should believe that DNA is a very efficient, marvelous code which was designed by the creator of the universe, despite the fact that the majority of it is information which we no longer use. Our DNA does have the information to code for a tail, but we no longer, er, I’m sorry, we never had the need for them.
We should believe that an explosion can never give rise to anything but disorder, even if we observe supernovas and find that they lead to the creation of stars/solar systems.
We apologize for observing the animals, finding that they have similar traits, similar DNA, and finding that some animals are more similar than others, and then using the law of natural selection and the fossil record, along with radiometric dating to explain this similarity and diversity. We should have, from the start, read the Bible, and realized that God had created everything.
We apologize for believing in our dating techniques. Whenever we date an object that is over 4000 or so years which is the entire life of the Earth, we should naturally discount it and trust that God had made the object outside of space and time for a while, or that God caused radiometric dating to speed up for the object, and not for the religious artifacts which are dated correctly at the times at which they were said to be from.
Finally, we apologize for looking at the world around us, for trying to use logic, observation, and repeated testing to try to explain the world.
We should all realize that it’s better for all of us if we just throw that all away and turn to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We apologize.
