So since blogging about Expelled in a few different places (here, Myspace, Cafemom) I've gotten a bit of backlash. I've been sent links to sites that "expose" the movie for being lies, I've been told Intelligent Design is not science at all and that the whole premise is a waste of time. I've been sent links to Darwin's books to show where Ben Stein paraphrased what was actually said about survival of the fittest. All of these have been sent in an attempt to discredit the movie and its claims. I welcome intelligent debate. I welcome conversation. The funny thing is that these comments have been sent by self proclaimed Atheists...the smallest group (other than Scientologists, that is) with the largest mouths. Why are the "78%" of Americans who believe in the Judeo-Christian God so silent? Where is their conversation? I will not be silenced.
Scientists are still grappling with the concept of how life began. There are various theories, but no absolutes in the science world as of yet. Being a Christian, I honestly don't understand how it's acceptable to believe that every superbly organized thing we see under the sun and beyond "just happened" by chance...and how ever since that marvelous cosmic accident, everything else we see has needed a designer. It just seems like common sense to me that if mankind cannot mix a bunch of random elements into a living being, as advanced as we've become in technology, we should not be expected to believe it happened thousands of years ago with no intelligent intervention (and no, I'm not speaking of aliens who seeded the earth - another actual scientific theory).
For us, the believers and many scientists on this path, the answer is right before our eyes. As I meditated the name of Yahweh this morning it hit me. Yud Hei Vav Hei. He put the answer in His very name. The first Hebrew letter, Yud, is symbolic of the Point of Creation. He could have named Himself anything and started that name with any letter (why not aleph?), but He starts it with Yud - the very commencement of creation…and He doesn't stop there. The second letter, Hei, stands for breath. Breath is a creative force. Even the humanists of today teach how we can create with our words. It's the truth, but truth without Truth is seriously lacking. The next letter is the Vav - the number of man. Finally He ends His name with breath again. Yahweh's name tells us that He created and breathed life into man who then was able to breath and bring life forth forever more with his own words. Let me say that again. Yahweh was the commencement of all creation and life. He spoke order into the earth on his breath. He then breathed His very life into man, giving Him the ability to breath life into others. Yud Hei Vav Hei. Yahweh - the name that has been hidden, the name that the Jews were persecuted for and not allowed to utter, the name that He gave Himself when He revealed Himself to Moses (translated from the original Hebrew into English as "I am that I am"), is the very name that holds the secret to all of creation. How perfect.
This message is not for people who arrogantly say there is no God. I have nothing to say that will sway or persuade them from their position. This message is for those who believe by the Holy Spirit that not only was there Intelligent Design involved, His name is Yahweh, He sent His visible reflection to earth to shed His blood for all mankind, went to hell to take the keys of life back from death and rose from the dead with such power that other graves were emptied around him in the process. For those that dare to believe Truth, I dare you to not be silenced any longer.

My sister's a scientist and she says that in the science community there is such an arrogance that many refuse to believe there is intelligent design or God. She says medical doctors recognize there's a spirit world because they deal with actual humans and see miracles happen all the time; but because scientists spend their time in a lab where everything is formulaic, they just don't get it. In essence they're deceived by their own arrogance and feel as if science allows for there to be no God since they have an answer for everything. (even though they don't)
