by Lee Strobel

I knew intuitively what prominent evolutionary biologist and historian William Provine of Cornell University would spell out explicitly in a debate years later. If Darwinism is true, he said, then there are five inescapable conclusions: there’s no evidence for God there’s no life after death there’s no absolute foundation for right and wrong there’s no ultimate meaning for life people don’t really have free will 3

In fact, he said that all the fossil evidence for human evolution ‘between ten and five million years ago—several thousand generations of living creatures—can be fitted into a small box.’

“By 2019, a thousand-dollar computer will match the processing power of the human brain. . . . By 2050, a thousand dollars of computing will equal the processing power of all human brains on Earth. . . . Will these future machines be capable of having spiritual experiences? They certainly will claim to. They will claim to be people, and to have the full range of emotional and spiritual experiences that people claim to have.” 2
