Evolutionists Explain Design Using Unscientific "Magic Words"
The term "magic words" is used here as a concise idiom that describes the best words evolutionists use to explain "apparent" design. Evolutionists confidently insist that a complex biological feature simply "appeared," "emerged," "arose," "gave rise to," "burst onto the scene," "evolved itself," "derived," "was on the way to becoming," "radiated into," "modified itself," "became a miracle of evolution," "was making the transition to," "manufactured itself," "evolution's way of dealing with," "derived emergent properties," or "was lucky."
How do words like
"appeared" explain design? Just like magic, the use of this
word invokes mysterious powers within unseen universes that are
capable of leaping over enormous scientific obstacles without having
to provide any scientific consideration for how a particular physical
result was achieved. Magic words convey wish-like convictions that if
evolutionists just believe deeply enough, their explanations must be
true and someday will be true--though currently resisted by all
scientific evidence. Explaining design by believing it "arose"
appeals to imaginary special forces which help evolutionists to
connect the evolutionary dots. But as in any magical kingdom, the
connections are mental fantasies that are not grounded in
reality.
Magic words lack explanatory power because they
fail to tie real observations to detailed descriptions of how
features of design originate. Claiming that novel biological features
"burst onto the scene" abandons the need for experimental
verification; indeed, the implication is to not even try. Take any
biological observation. In evolutionary thinking, any observation can
be transformed into a proof that explains its own existence by
applying the magic phrase: "It exists because it is favored by
natural selection." In reality, observations are only
observations and are neither proofs nor explanations.
Engineers, medical doctors, and other scientists who rely on studies or experiments do not use these kinds of words. Their products do not "emerge" but develop via thought-filled processes. They rightly call filling a knowledge gap with narrative stories "arm waving," which calls to mind a stage magician.
In conversation with others, it would be difficult to overemphasize how important magic words are to evolutionary theory. Remark on how these words pervade elite journals like Science, popular magazines like Scientific American, and television shows like NOVA. "Magic words" pour from evolutionary literature like water over Niagara Falls. Challenge your listener to carefully observe the communication in these forums, noting how many paragraphs or statements pass without the use of these words. They are the lifeblood of the evolutionary community's most profound and highest-quality scientific literature."

*Footnote* I don't belong to any of Christendom ministries but do acknowledge and respect the films director/producer for the fine presentation. I do know that his actions are pure and clearly manifest the creator's true intentions. Other then a few rough edges I'm more then satisfied with the central theme and essences in which the author takes students and professor's from ground-zero, and points them to greater hope. Again thanks for the film and like professor Kent Hovind...your helping countless break free.
This video has been circulating in my other blog (Stay Awake), so wanted to share in this one (poeticnoteand journeys).
