Morality

[Vincent Butler]

There is such a thing as a creation scientist...?

The inventor of the MRI, Raymond Damadian, is a creationist. Dr. John Baumgardner, a leader in the field of plate tectonics, is a creationist. As I said, Maxwell's equations work the same for you and me (I use Maxwell because I am studying electrical engineering). As I have already pointed out, Bacon (who formulated the scientific method, and who has an awesome name), Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Pasteur, to name a few, were creationists. That is really what a scientist is, he experiments and observes. Part of science is observation. If it can be repeated with the same results, then it starts to fall into the category of true observational science. Then your view on origins does not come into play either way, at least as far as the science itself works. I cannot recreate my view of creation, you cannot recreate yours.
The e.coli example. It is still an e.coli bacteria. It has not changed into anything else. It has lost some information, which loss enables it to survive in the presence of an antibiotic. Not good for us. If I recall, though, it has problems surviving in the absence of that antibiotic. Not saying that for sure, I may not be remembering correctly what I read.
On to the thing of lust, Jesus said that to look upon a woman to lust after her is the same as committing adultery. The point of what he is saying is that it is impossible to keep the whole law (any man I know of, outside of Jesus Christ, has been guilty of lustful thoughts, to use that example), so nobody can rely on keeping the law to get to heaven. That is why Christ came, as the Lamb of God, to make the payment for sin once and for all. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 Humans, including Christians, commit sin. Now Christians are held to a higher standard, and rightfully so, but they are still human, and still need to confess those sins and get them out of their lives. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: Psalm 66:18
