The Blind Science of Secular Humanism

Brannon Howse, author and founder of Worldview Weekend has a good piece dealing with the humanist's blind science. The humanist's, who equate creationism with foolish superstition and downright idiocy, themselves have real problems explaining how things came to exist:

Instead of believing in God as the basis for their religion, humanists believe in nature or "natural science" – naturalism. The reason is supposedly to avoid resting an intellectual foundation on what secularists call "blind faith."

The Christian faith, however, is anything but blind from an intellectual standpoint. Arguments for the God of the Bible are well-founded. What liberal humanists have substituted for a reasonable faith in a Creator God is, I would contend, blind science. Dr. D.G. Lindsay agrees and describes the intellectual underpinnings of evolution this way:

'Evolution is a religion that attributes everything to "nature." It demands a faith that is totally blind. Since the evolutionist believes nature and its laws are the guiding force in the universe, he is totally at odds with the Christian faith and the essential miraculous aspect of creation. The miraculous events of the Bible deviate from the known laws of nature, or at least from our understanding of them.
However, the evolutionist is blind to the fact that his religion, evolution, violates every known law for its own existence, making atheistic evolution more incredible (miraculous) than the Christian faith.'

The logic of a creationist demands a creator:

In real life, logic applies. If we see a painting, we assume there was a painter. If an airplane flies overhead, there's a pilot. It doesn't matter that we don't see the painter or the pilot. Elementary logic guarantees in our minds that they exist. If something looks like it was designed – a building, a watch, an airplane or a cosmos – we are safe to assume it was. Not so, however, in the world of blind science. Naturalistic humanists believe there is no God, not because that is the logical conclusion but because that is their preference.

The concept of a "creator" in the eyes of secular humanism is problematic because it means there could be consequences set forth by the creator...a rule book with which they may not agree:

It is really quite pathetic when you consider the mental gymnastics a humanist must perform – and the ACLU must defend – to uphold the new version of educational freedom that allows only one view of origins to be taught in our public schools. Although the humanist typically mocks as unscientific those who believe in a creator God, when the science of their worldview is proven to be unscientific and mathematically impossible, they ignore the facts and create preposterous theories simply to sidestep the logical belief in an Intelligent Designer. Which brings me to the one summary statement that explains what is truly the foundation of Blind Science: Note its initials.
