Science and Origins Discussion Group
* * * * *
Our next meeting will be held
Tuesday evening Jan 29 from 7 - 9 pm in room 2401 of
the UNM Law School. Guest speaker will be Dr.
Angus Menuge, a Christian philosopher and professor
at Concordia University Wisconsin. Dr. Menuge
is author of the book "Agents Under Fire:
Materialism and the Rationality of Science" in which
he shows how Intelligent Design is dismantling
materialism's scientific and philosophical
foundations.
The title of
his presentation is "Mind First: The
case for the soul and a cosmic mind", which will
touch on a number of topics including the inability
of materialism to explain human consciousness,
intentionality, and reasoning, the surprisingly
teleological views of atheist philosopher Thomas
Nagel as expressed in his recent book “Mind and
Cosmos”, and the positive case for the soul and a
cosmic mind.
Please pass the word along to anyone that might be
interested in this meeting.

THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
 "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,..."

THOMAS JEFFERSON ON INTELLIGENT DESIGN
 "I hold (without appeal to revelation) that when we take a view of the Universe, in its parts general or particular, it is impossible for the human mind not to perceive and feel a conviction of design, consummate skill, and indefinite power in every atom of its composition....So irresistible are these evidences of an intelligent and powerful Agent that, of the infinite numbers of men who have existed thro’ all the time, they have believed, in the proportion of a million at least to Unit, in the hypothesis of an eternal pre-existence of a creator, rather than in that of a self-existent Universe."

He also said...
“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
and...
"When the people fear their government, there
is tyranny. When the government fears the people,
there is liberty".
