More from Steve Cornell:

 

The atheist must also suppress the demands of logic. He is like the man who finds an encyclopedia lying in the woods and refuses to believe it is the product of intelligent design. Everything about the book suggests intelligent cause. But, if he accepted such a possibility, he might be forced to conclude that living creatures composed of millions of DNA-controlled cells (each cell containing the amount of information in an encyclopedia) have an intelligent cause. His controlling bias against God will not allow him to accept this.

 

 

An atheist is more like a man who finds an Encyclopedia in the woods and wonders “How did it get here?”, and starts looking around for evidence like tracks, near-by houses, signs that children were playing nearby and neglecting their homework.

 

Steve Cornell is like the man who finds the encyclopedia in the woods, wonders how it go there, shrugs, and says “God must have done it”, and then tosses the book aside to rot in the woods (because that’s how God must have wanted it) and then goes off to church to tell others of the miracle of how God causes books to be placed in the woods.

 

Steve Cornell is also like a guy who makes up really dumb-shit analogies.

 

Steve Cornell must suppress the demands of logic, for while he states that each cell contains the amount of information in an encyclopedia, he must suppress the knowledge that much of that information is identical to the information in the cells of all of the creatures around us, to an extent that it is impossible to believe that God made us special and unrelated to the world that we live in.  Yet Steve Cornell must ignore logic and persist in his belief that human cells were made special by God and have no relationship to the cells of other creatures.

 

Steve Cornell is like a man who finds a Nancy Drew mystery in the woods, and concludes that God left it there, and that God made this book special, and that although it contains the same characters, the same plot devices and elements, and follows the exact same formula as all of the other books in the Nancy Drew series, it is completely unrelated to and separate from the other books and bears no relationship to them.
