Of Darkness and Hope

I've been reading a lot here: http://www.journalof911studies.com about the 9/11 attack. I'm left with the conclusion that we have been duped into waging a war in Afghanistan and Iraq against people, who may not have liked us, but certainly had no means to attack us as occured that fateful day. If you think me crazy, go to the site and read for yourself. Before I did, I passionately disagreed with those who thought the Trade Center towers were not destroyed by the airliners. That is not the case now.

Once you cross that Rubicon, you choose a path that leads to the disturbing realization that Americans (or at least people who bare US Passports and birth certificates) have murdered thousands of of their countrymen in an attempt to get the rest of us to support their selfish aims: aims which they have draped in the folds of our flag.

Like I said, you may think me crazy. But when you look at facts and draw conclusions from what the facts present you must either be honest with yourself and make decisions based upon those conclusions or live in denial and pretend that they don't exist. You must choose for yourself, but as for myself, I desire to see the world as it really is, even when it's not the world I wished it were.

The only hope I draw from this is that I know virtually all American's would be outraged at those who caused this atrocity, especially if it were their own country men. And I take great hope in my faith that there is a God who presides over the affairs of men and that He supports those who stand up for truth and justice. He may let wicked men prove their wickedness to the world, but His justice is inescapable. Those who caused this will ultimately pay for what they did.

The Evolutionists' Dilema

I've a couple of questions for all those who claim evolution is the only rational explanation for man's presence on this planet.

First, how does evolution even work within the context of the laws of thermodynamics, particularly entropy? Think about it: in very simple terms, entropy states that the universe is gradually decaying from a universe of great order to a universe of totaly random chaos with everything being the same temperature. Evolution flies in the face of this by saying that of all the processes we know, the most complex process of all, life, started by itself and increased its order and complexity through purely random events. The realitiy is, both processes are mutually exclusive: either random things change from more order to less order (entropy) or they change from less order to more order (evolution) or random changes have no net effect over time because all of the random permutations cancel each other out.

Secondly, if we really are the result of random changes alone and that survival of the fitest is the sole key in determining which species lives on and which one dies out. Why don't we now live forever or much longer than we do with the bodies we have? It would seem that those who live longest would reproduce the most and thereby edge out those who don't reproduce as long. But that hasn't happened. Why?

Bottom line: entropy is an observed and well proven law. The universe is decaying to a state of totaly random and homogenous chaos. It is losing its order. But, it is perfectly reasonable to see how a creative force outside of the universe (God) created life that could exist and even thrive within this context of decay. No other paradigm about how life came to be makes sense.
