I listen to a podcast called "Fat-Burning Man". It's pretty great. I love Abel James and what he does. I even got his book "The Wild Diet" and while I'm not a very fast reader, I am enjoying it and am excited to implement the principles that Abel has written about. His podcast features interviews with the world's leading experts, gurus, scientists, doctors, researchers, etc that pertain to health and the way the body perceives nutrition. Some of the things I've heard have really knocked my socks off and challenge the way that I see food and the world around me.
Something that I notice about many of the guests though is that they assume a Darwinian-evolution(DE) thought process. While I don't concede that all of the guests have this worldview nor do I believe the lie that all intelligent scientist types only adhere to DE, there seems to be a large number of experts who believe this way. These aren't bad people mind you but I find one things strange about their logic. This is not the first time this has happened but this morning I was listening to an episode of FBM and the guest on there spoke about the evolution of human-kind and so on but just a minute later he said that there was a wisdom above us that knows so much more than us that causes the changes. Isn't that an intelligent design? Mother Nature being the god of the the naturalist, isn't that intelligent design? Guests who claim molecules to man theology also say that we are "designed" to eat a certain thing or move a certain amount. Who is the designer?
I think that the conclusions that these gurus come to are very fascinating and applicable but the route they take to get there is flawed. The more I learn about how complex we are, the more I am confident in a Creator. Vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients; this stuff isn't just random expressions of chaos no more than my television is. When you can put the microscope on these things and it just can't look deep enough to see it all, or when the telescope can't look out far enough: this world is just too complex to be senseless. And all of this is mere observation; we haven't even asked the question "why?" yet!
I believe that there is so much about our world we don't know yet and a lot of it is in the realm of nutrition. Mostly because large companies make money off of the lack of nutrition in their products but that is a topic for another day!
