Grave edict wrong, rude

On Oct. 17, we got a note from the Saxonburg Memorial Church Cemetery Association stating that we were to remove everything that is at our son, Brian D. Tebay's, grave except the headstone.
We feel that order is so wrong and rude.

Evidence backs 'design'
I am responding to a letter in the Butler Eagle written by Dr. Amesh Adalja. Adalja once again used circular reasoning to try to explain away the well-grounded evidence for intelligent design in the world around us.
Evolution started out as a theory and continues to remain a theory. Evolution has become accepted due to the continued repetition of its bogus claims.
Let me ask some questions:
If life did, at some point, crawl out of the primordial soup, where did the "soup" come from? And, why would it decide to climb out? Decision and motivation would imply intelligence, would it not?
Single-cell organisms are unable to make any decisions about their existence. They react and respond, but the nature of their reactions is intentionally placed and guided by their intelligent designer.
Does Adalja own a car? Does he wear a watch? How is it that these basic enhancements in Adalja's world have come about?
Cars and watches do not form themselves spontaneously. Poof! These enhancements are made by design, formulated and fabricated for specific purposes.
It is reasonable to assume they have a designer. It also is reasonable to assume that the complexities of Adalja's eyes, hands, fingers and toes are products of a designer infinitely more intelligent than any human designer.

I thought this was a letter about a cemetery mistreating families. Where are the editors?

Who cares about evolution right now? Our troops are still fighting. The economy is such a mess that many Americans are hungery and losing ther homes. Drugs and crime is out of control. I could go on. Let's talk about something that has a result.

By the way, Darwin was a devout Christian. A minister actually.

It seems to me that the evolutionists also advance the same tired, invalid arguments over, and over, and over......
No one can prove beyond of a reasonable doubt either theory. However I prefer the creationist theory from a personal standpoint.

Now go ahead and say anything about me you want, I don't really care. I have the same right to my opinion as Nancy, Gary, and anyone.

But then, what would we argue about?

Nancy. Before you write any more letters regarding evolution, you should learn a little about the theory of evolution. As is common with creationists, you continue to use the same old arguments that have been explained numerous times. But the next letter has the same discussion again.

Do some research on what a scientific theory is. It is not the same as what you call a theory.

As has been pointed out many times, the Theory of Evolution does NOT describe the origin of life. Darwin's book was entitled "On the origin of SPECIES." It describes how a new species develops from another species. It does NOT address the origin of life.

Natural selection allows for changes to occur WITHOUT concious decision.

New species also do NOT form themselves spontaneously.

It is not reasonable to assume that the complexities of body parts are products of a designer unless you are not familiar with that which you are arguing against.

I know that this will do no good, but I would sure hope that future arguments against evolution or for creationism will come up with something that has not already been addresses and answered numerous times. If you don't accept the explanations, at least address your perceived weaknesses of those explanations, rather than just advancing the same tired, invalid arguments over, and over, and over, and over,............
