The Definition of Insanity is to do the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome.
This concept can be true for scientific theory also, adding a multitude of repetitions to a scientifically flawed theory will not eventually make that theory true.
This was Darwin’s missing link in his science, when he made an unfounded assumption that short term adaptation of species eventually amounted to differentiation of entirely new species over millennia.
The fossil record says no.
Our fine-tuned and information rich DNA says no.
In regards to biological origin, we now know the difference between the adaptation of a species and the creation of entirely different species.
If Darwin had known the science that we know now he never would have concluded that adaptation amounted to entirely different groups of species, even by adding millions and millions of years.
Repeating bad science over and over again, even millions of times, and expecting a different outcome is Insanity.
This is also true for the Origin of the Universe. From the first 3 seconds of creation at the Big Bang to all the conditions that must be precisely as they are to support life on Earth, most scientists agree we live in a truly remarkable and finely tuned existence.
Steven Hawking claims he can explain why our universe is so finely tuned in so many ways. He calls his, “Theory of Everything “, M Theory.
M Theory is what Hawking calls a Multiverse.
In Hawking’s Multiverse, an infinite number of universes are created by gravity, matter, and the laws of the universe. Hawking assumes that infinite repetitions repeated over and over again, we will eventually have a finely-tuned universe, and solar system, and planet with precisely all the conditions needed to sustain life as we know it.
Repeating flawed theory over and over again, even to infinity, and expecting a different outcome is insanity.
Sir Roger Penrose is an equally qualified mathematician of physics who worked with Hawking and shared the 1988 Wolf Prize with Hawking for their work on understanding the universe.
When asked what he thought about Hawking’s Multiverse Theory, Sir Penrose is reported as saying, “M Theory is far from testable”, “it isn’t even science.” And other notable scientists agree with Penrose.
But what M Theory may be is insanity.
It certainly fits the definition of Insanity better than it fits the definition of science, which is that it must be testable and observable.
I am a Christian and believe God is the most plausible answer to everything.
The science of the fine-tuning of the Origin of the Cosmos above, and the fine-tuning of the information-richness contained within our DNA within each of us reaffirms my belief that,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
(John 1: 1-3, 14 NKJV)

Mr Hawkins: where do the laws of the universe come from? Again, something organized coming from nothing…or from chaos, randomness. Life from entropy… I thought science subscribed to the reverse: that eventually everything will equalize and total entropy will result. When you start from a desired result (the in-existence of God) whatever discoveries or theories result are flawed from the onset.

Ciao Franco,
I watched the documentary ,”Expelled” and was impacted by the screen were Ben Stein asked Richard Dawkins were the information in DNA came from. Dawkins said “maybe aliens brought it here after they arranged the information.” Mr.Stein then said, “so you do believe in intelligent design, just that God is not the designer.”
Of course, that only moves the question back a step to the aliens, it does not answer the question of where the first information came from.
Blessings

I agree completely with your thoughts here. The precise workings of everything in the heavens and on earth testify to a Creator and could not have been the work of simple happenstance.
Why man continues to try to “prop up” existence with more scientific “band aids” is a mystery to me! I suppose proponents of Godlessness don’t want to live by the commands of God, even when under examination, His laws are beneficial to all humans in so many ways.

Thanks for commenting Steve.
His laws are beneficial and scientific evidence and discovery inevitably leads to God. I know of no instance were science leading us away from God. DNA, the Big Bang, both are proof for the Biblical accuracy of creation.

So true. I like the saying…”I don’t have enough ‘faith’ to be a non-believer!”
The marvels of heaven and earth speak to a Creator. To say otherwise isn’t even “good science!”

Darwin knew a living cell as only a blob of green protoplasm. However, in recent decades since the discovery of DNA, knowledge of cell structure has exploded at an exponential pace. A cell is like a micro-city. It has power plants (mitochondria), manufacturing plants (ribosomes), a central library or database (DNA), an “Interstate” highway system (microtubules), a distribution center (Golgi Complex), a fleet of trucks (vesicles), and provisions for water and wastewater treatment. Your body has 50-100 trillion of these micro-cities.
Each of those cells houses a DNA database that contains at least 3 gigabytes of information coded in a language that uses a four-letter alphabet (nitrogen bases). Each of 100,000 different proteins in the body is itself a massive molecule created from a language using a twenty-letter alphabet (amino acids). To manufacture just one protein, the information coded in a specific DNA location must be transcribed (like old-fashioned short hand) from coded information to information in a useful form. The information in the more useful form must be translated from a 4-letter alphabet language into different 20-letter alphabet language, similar to translating English into Chinese.
Even the DNA of a single-celled bacterium contains an amount of coded information in the megabyte range. Remember when computers had a memory measured in megabytes? We were amazed at even those computer capabilities at the time.
Did all this arise by time and chance alone? No way! Absolutely not! Simply imagining astronomical amounts of time cannot come anywhere close to explaining the creation of life.
Praise God from whom ALL thing flow!
