Does Evolution Allow for De Novo Creation?

@Patrick

There are atheists who write books on how to formulate ethics in the absence of God. There are other atheists who write books explaining why Boltzmann Brains don’t pose a significant problem for an atheistic multiverse. Other atheists write books trying to show how the disciples collectively hallucinated Jesus after his death. All that these atheists are trying to do is show that being an atheist is COMPATIBLE with what we know about life. There is no EVIDENCE to back up these claims, but that’s not the point. Whatever worldview one chooses, there are sticky problems you have to deal with. @swamidass is offering one solution to a sticky problem. How is that nothingness? Are all these atheist’s books also nothingness? If you want to be consistent, I think you should say they are.

Christians have the problem of evil to deal with, and some sticky issues with biblical historicity, and you have moral value, meaning, fine tuning, and existence itself. We’s all gots a lot of explaining to do.
