Why UK’s Notorious Vivisector Argues Against God
Is it any wonder that Dr Colin Blakemore should join others in
supporting an evolutionary interpretation and theory of creation that
discredits the very existence of God? This top opponent of animal rights
activism obviously prefers to believe that death becomes for him the
cessation of all consciousness. The New Testament teaching that after
death comes the judgment day; to be followed by reaping what we have
sown, is hardly what professor Colin Blakemore would want to consider.
His eagerness to discredit God over national TV reveals to me that his
reasoning is influenced by moral rather than rational factors. Common
sense tells us that behind every effect there must be a cause and that
dead, inanimate life cannot create consciousness. Indeed the psalmist of
old knew it when he affirmed: ‘the fool has said in his heart, there is
no God’. Only a person of fool mentality could surely say it?. And as
for those slightly less devious folk who argue for a future Heaven of
bliss, yet firmly rule out all thought of any future conscious Hell;
well, how very convenient. They’ll be in for a shock!.
