Steve Hinrichs Rational Web PageSteve Hinrichs Rational Site with a MeaningfulPurposehttp://members.aol.com/SHinrichs9/homepage.htm (revised 3/2007)The goal of the Steve Hinrichs web page is to present in an accurate andconcise manner the best arguments for and against the position that thereis a meaningful explanation for humans because a genuine investigation involvesstudying the best rational arguments for and against all the different possiblehypothesis.Rational Reasoningfor Reality explains that proof by elimination is a keylogical concept used to rationally determine the truth about reality. TheSteve Hinrichs Rational Site presents Steve Hinrichs' rational evaluationof issues related to determining if there really is a meaningful explanationfor humans. Also, external links are provided for further study.Who am I?What caused me to exist, what am I and where am I going are simple questionswhich have led to a study which results I briefly summarize in several articlesthat I've made available through this homepage.It is apparent to me that I am built with a desire for a meaningful explanationfor my life. Some critical scientist will claim this is just a personal bias;however, science is suppose to be guided by observation. If there is anythingsuch as a honest observation about the personal nature of myself, it is thatI have an interest in a meaningful explanation for my life. If one findsa key hole (interest for purpose), it is natural to search for the complimentaryfeature, a key (purpose) that fits the lock. Finding such a key should allowone to open the door to discover what is the purpose for humans. Also, itis apparent to me that many other people have a similar interest so I havemade my articles available in case they are interested in reading them over.Section 1 of ApologeticsSummary for the Bible shows that the natural world cannot on it's ownprovide a meaningful explanation for humans; thus, it is natural to investigateif there is evidence for the super natural to see if there is a plan or purposefor humans. A rational method for such an investigation is proposedin Rational Methodologyfor Identifying Supernatural Intervention. This approach is conservativeand falsifiable. It makes use of the key logical concept used to determinethe truth about reality (whether natural or supernatural), proof byelimination, so I would think scientist would appreciateit. Can chance and natural necessity completely explain theorigin of life and the universe?The universe started with a Big Bang and out of it fell quite an array ofstars and planets with our Earth just happening to be well suited for life.Does this appeared to be planned or just happened by chance? This is investigatedin UniversalDesign.Some evolutionist claim that their theory along with the impersonal naturallaws completely explain the existence of humans. Since evolution theory claimsthat all new information originated by chance, this claim obviously has greatbearing on the questions that I raised at the beginning of this page. Thegreat complexity of life raises the question if it could have all evolvedby chance. The scientific community has extensively studied the origin oflife issue and most scientist propose that based upon fossils in the geologicalrecord all life is related by common ancestors which developed by a processof chance and natural necessity. This proposal is shown onTree of Lifeand the arguments for it are very well summarized inTalk.OriginsArchive. My articles do not dismiss the concept that there are certainprogressions of morphological features in the fossil record that follow acommon pattern of development. In addition, life forms share quite a fewcommon characteristics that imply common descent. A good example of thisis explained inCompellingData for Common Descent from Matching Redundant DNA Sequences. Theseevidences make a solid and strong case that life evolved; however, thereare good reasons to think as I do that God must have been involved. Naturalselection is completely dependent upon chance or the intervention of intelligencefor providing the new life forms on which it acts upon. The following articlesclaim that just chance cannot completely explain the origination of theinformation on which these new life forms are based.In Probabilityof Abiogenesis the probability of obtaining something like the firstcell which is a crucial step in the proposed evolutionary process isinvestigated. This article described the great problems of such a life formingout of a primordial soup. The best attempts of evolutionist to explain sucha process are also presented so you can see for yourself if such a beliefis scientifically justified. Read this article and found out why FrancesCrick the Nobel prize winner and discover of DNA stated, "An honest man,armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that insome sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle".Darwin stated in Ref. 2. "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organexisted which could not possible been formed by numerous, successive, slightmodifications, my theory (Natural Selection) would absolutely break down."This is appropriate since the step by step sequence guided by natural selectionis limited to unplanned mutations and copying errors. Since the scientificprocess is supposed to be one that focuses on falsification, it is appropriateto investigate features of life to see if they fit the description that Darwindefined. Several features about life are submitted inDesign Articles as satisfyingDarwin's requirement. They include, the blood clotting system, the immunesystem, the fabrication of the crucial nucleotide AMP and vision.Rational evidence in Judeo-Christianity for a meaningfulpurpose?Is there evidence for a God that has left a message that indicates hopefullya good purpose for humans? In Section 1of ApologeticsSummary for the Bible I propose certain characteristic to look for intrying to answer this question. In Section 2, I submit evidence from theBible that I propose indicates that these characteristic can be found inthe Bible. Section 3 presents evidence that indicates there is reliableinformation in the Bible. The Bible does has it's difficulties and it isappropriate mention them which I do by reference in Section 4 and brieflydeal with some of them. Extensive work has been done by the critics in academiawhich claim that the Bible was completely fabricated by men. This work isbriefly mentioned and dealt with in Section 4.Messianic prophesies are an important issue concerning the claim that Jesuswas the divine Messiah. The most remarkable one is found in Daniel 9:25.Even the critics admit that this the passage is the most convincing prophecyfor Christians that Jesus was the divine Messiah. However, the critics claimit is full of problems, well is this the case or are they just avoiding theobvious. Well, you have the opportunity to see for yourself. InDaniel's Messiahin the Critics Den is a comprehensive list of the critics attempts todismiss the prophecy along with rebuttals. Read and see for yourself.The apostle Paul states in I Cor. 15:14 "And if Christ be not risen, thenour preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain." Unlike most religions,Christianity hinges on a proposed historical event. That Jesus died for thesinner, defeated the consequence of sin (physical and spiritual death forhumans) and proved it by bodily rising again. Naturally, the critics dismissthe resurrection account by claiming that they were fabricated by the earlyChristian Church. They attempt to support this view by claiming that thefive different resurrection accounts are so contradictory that is impossibleto resolve them in a reasonable manner. Is this the case? Well, inResurrection Puzzleis a reconstruction of the resurrection that is proposed as consistent withthe five different accounts. The five different accounts are listed in parallelaccording to the proposed reconstruction so that the reader can see forthemselves if the reconstruction is consistent with these accounts. Also,are listed are the 19 alleged contradictions made by the critics along withrebuttals so that the reader can determine for themselves if these accountsare truly contradictory.Another interesting point of the resurrection account is the guard listedin the Gospel of Matthew. This remarkable story must be pure fabricationaccording to the critics because it explains fits well with the ideathat Jesus's body arose. However, there are certain features about it thatdo not fit well with the legend hypothesis. These are explained in the testimonyof hostilewitnesses concerning the resurrection. By the way the Tabloid story of Jesus being buried in the Talpoit Tomb is not true. ConclusionConverge presentsa summary of the best rational evidence that I am aware of that there isa God with a meaningful purpose for humans.Send any further question toS2c2h@aol.com in case I amable to help by providing more discussion or relevant information.

Darwin, C., Origin of SpeciesLinks for FurtherStudyA fair evaluation of any issue involves hearing out the best arguments fromthe different positions as is theoretically done in the court room. Thus,I provide links to the best criticism of the points I make in my articles.EvolutionThe scientific community has extensively studied the origin of life issueand most scientist propose that based upon fossils in the geological recordall life is related by common ancestors which developed by a process of chanceand natural necessity.

These folks think that themselves and Judeo-Christianityare ultimately explained by just chance and natural necessity. They alsoprovide many links.ChristianityThese folks agree that themselves and Judeo-Christianity cannot be completelyexplained by just chance and natural necessityDembski's Design DiscoveryPage, WilliamCraig's Page, Craig's Historical Jesus, Gary Habermas Website, Gary Habermas Links.

The following have a lot of links,CreationConnection,Talk.OriginsCounterpoints.MixedProfessors at Cal State Fullerton that offer a class on dicussing these issueshave set up awebpage with many links from a variety of different positions.Creationist typically take either and young or old earth viewpoint. I takethe old earth and thiestic evolution position because there is geologicaland astronomical data that the young earth view cannot explain but is explainedby the old earth view and there is strong evidence that different speciesshare a common ancestor.It is my opinion that creationist, evolutionist and atheist all haveimportant information to offer concerning origins questions. There isdata which each of these positions has difficulties explaining . The internetis an excellent source for investigating and discussing the success of differenttheories which attempt to completely explain the origins of life and religion.This page has been visited 7700 +  times since 12/96. |
