Why Don’t These Evolutionists Respond To What They See? Since There Seems Agreement that the Universe and Life Appears Designed,
Professor Robert Jastrow was founder of NASA’s Goddard Institute, and is now director of the Mount Wilson Institute and its observatory. He observed: “This is an exceedingly strange development, unexpected by all but the theologians. They have always accepted the word of the Bible: In the beginning God created heaven and earth… [But] for the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; [and] as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers, New York, NY: W.W. Norton and Co., 1978, p. 116.
Seeing is believing, according to God and genuine science, but leading evolutionists have concluded seeing is not believing.
They fully acknowledge that the universe and life appear to be designed, but unscientifically and irrationally conclude it was not designed.
While special creation by God is evident and in cases the only logical and reasonable conclusion.
Instead of reasoning from observed evidence to the logical and scientific conclusion that there is a designer of the universe and life, evolutionists refuse the idea of a designer. , Instead they force fit all observed evidence into their idea, and ignore the obvious. To support this materialist notion, they even imagine that there must be vast numbers of additional universes and dimensions without the barest shred of observational evidence. It is profound how far people will go to avoid God’s existence.

Simply put, there can never be enough evidence to convince someone of something they don’t want to believe.
so how can people believe otherwise with infinitely more complex and purposeful machinery throughout the entire inorganic universe and in every form of life?
More information doesn’t help if one isn’t open in advance to go wherever the evidence leads. Knowledge is vital, but when it comes to knowledge of God, Pascal said it well: “Human knowledge must be understood to be loved, but divine knowledge must be loved to be understood.”

Many claim they don’t have enough information to believe in a Creator, and cling steadfastly to the hope that conclusive evidence will eventually be found for evolution. This kind of belief without a single working example is blind faith in the ‘religion’ of evolution, not science.
Richard Lewontin, a world leader in evolutionary biology, atheist, and self-proclaimed Marxist, wrote: “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, ON THE CONTRARY, WE ARE FORCED BY OUR PRIORI ADHERANCE TO MATERIAL CAUSES TO CREATE AN APPARATUS OF INVESTIGATION AND A SET OF CONCEPTS that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.”

People can gain substantial information intellectually, but when it comes to God the Bible says our natural minds are devoid of truth and our understanding darkened. We are alienated from new life in God because of ignorance, but the root cause is hardness and callousness of our hearts.
