The Religion of Naturalism

-> Evolution thinking is in many kids stoories, which introduces evolution in innocent matters

-> Scientist pretend that they are fair mminded and objective and try to make religious ppl look subjective and biased
	- They begin explaining in the mind set that there is no God, rathere then if there was a God

-> This is a ruse for naturalism is as muuch a philosophy, world view and personal belief system as Christianity

-> The cosmos is all that is or ever was  or ever will be

-> This is litygical and mocks Christian  liturgy

-> Sagan capitalizes the word Cosmos as wwe capitalizes the word God

-> Sagan: "A universe that is infinitely  old requires no creator"
	- Naturalism says we are: Children of the Cosmos

-> The debate with a Naturalist is not whhat the Bible says, but to show how scientifically what they say is wrong

-> Must challenge the assumption that sciience by definition means naturalistic philosophy

	* 2nd law of thermodynamics - everything is running down, then it must have been wound up!

-> In 1960, scientists formulated the Bigg Bang theory
	- Does not fit classic naturalism (because naturalism beleive everything has been going on forever)

**** Copy page 60 **** (read on for requirements for life to work out right)
