Atheists, agnostics, and Gnostic claims that blare over the Internet claim to be the Truth, the biggest one being the evolutionary alternative to special creation. But doesn't one see that evolutionary chaos is a reaction to special creation? That the 'scientific' theory is actually dictated by its difference from special creation, rather than its relationship to reality? This is why we have to take Sheldrake and others seriously. Darwinian evolution is a species of special creation via negativa; although it denies the creator, it still relies for its existence on the existence of a creationist mythology to rankle against.
Evolution is not so much a true account of how the world came about, as it is a denial of how Christians say the world came about. The 'denial of a Jewish deity' part may be true, but it is curious that the evolutionary story is so neatly opposite to what is claimed by the creationists.
To go from 'God bringing things about instantly' to 'nothing somehow arranging itself over vast periods of time' is a little too neatly opposite itself to be plausible, no?
