Regarding this post:
I saw an interview with him. He explained his beliefs: He doesn't know. There is only one thing, ONE THING, of which he is absolutely certain. He is CERTAIN that the world didn't create itself. Nothing doesn't create something. It can't be. Implausible.
He is right on that one. Yet millions upon millions believe that nothing created something. Which turned into rocks. Which turned into monkeys. Which turned into the physicist Stephen Hawkings. And, li-havdil, turned into the Chofetz Chaim. No intelligence created human beings who are filled with intelligence. Ahhhhhhh.
Or take DNA - As scientists began to decode the human DNA molecule, they found something quite unexpected—an exquisite ‘language’ composed of some 3 billion genetic letters. “One of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century,” says Dr. Stephen Meyer, director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Wash., “was that DNA actually stores information—the detailed instructions for assembling proteins—in the form of a four-character digital code” (quoted by Lee Strobel, The Case for a Creator, 2004, p. 224).
It is hard to fathom, but the amount of information in human DNA is roughly equivalent to 12 sets of The Encyclopedia Britannica— an incredible 384 volumes worth of detailed information that would fill 48 feet of library shelves! [Back then when we had shelves and Encyclopedias that weren't all on line].
Yet in their actual size—which is only two millionths of a millimeter thick—a teaspoon of DNA, according to molecular biologist Michael Denton, could contain all the information needed to build the proteins for all the species of organisms that have ever lived on the earth, and “there would still be enough room left for all the information in every book ever written”. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, commented that “DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything we’ve ever devised.”
Yet, people believe that this was an accident. Right. And my computer was made when a bomb detonated and HELLO DELL COMPUTER!!:-)

So even Dr. Krauthammer believes that there is intelligence behind creation. He just doesn't know who that intelligence is or what it wants.
3,300 years He came down and told us.
