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.
