Editor,
This is in response to Michael Weber's rather absurd letter in Wednesday's edition of the Daily Lobo.
First off, if you ask an incoherent question like his, all you should expect to receive is an incoherent answer.
Also, the Bible is a spiritual book written by a spiritual being. If you do not allow God to awaken your own human spirit, you will not be able to understand it.
Weber discarded many factual, biblical accounts as a "false story line," perhaps because his own spirit has not yet been resurrected.
Furthermore, the biblical books of Genesis, Revelation, and Psalms do address the topics of an afterlife and a human soul. It surprised me that he did not notice this, since he is a religious studies major.
As for the theory of evolution, I strongly believe that it is futile in helping us achieve a sense of full understanding for the following two reasons: It completely denies the existence of the supreme Creator, and it directly violates two fundamental scientific laws.
The law of cause and effect states that any given effect cannot be greater than its cause, which if true contradicts evolutionary theory. Also, it follows from the law of entropy that things constantly proceed from a state of order to disorder, as with the aging process, for example. In order for evolution to have occurred from a primitive life form, this cycle should be reversed, but that's impossible. Therefore, evolution could not have occurred.
