Oracle Soup

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_2_-_Scientia.pdf)

Dr. Axe gives an example of his Oracle Soup test in which he tells someone about this new product called “Oracle Soup,” a product that can produce knowledge. He picks a person to test with this story and tells this person about how you simply put some water on the stove and sprinkle in a little Oracle Soup. Then, when you pull the cover off the kettle, the Oracle Soup has letters that will form themselves into a description of a discovery you can patent. You just have to write down whatever it spells out, and then you can put the cover back on the kettle, wait a little while, and pop the cover off again. The Oracle Soup will spell out another patentable discovery. Dr. Axe has found that people intuitively know this story is false. They’ll let him talk about it for a while, but they’ll quickly catch on to the gag. They know there’s no such soup.

He says we know some things just by living life and practicing common science, and he’s right. He mentions children as young as four years old have some ability to formulate causes for effects based on this common science. Scientists did some research on this effect in children. They found young children intuitively know a butterfly didn’t come into being by unguided processes. They know an intelligent deity created it. Even children who’ve been raised to believe in atheism know. Of course, ungodly thinkers are concerned about this awareness of God through His creation. They work on programs to brainwash children into believing molecules-to-humanity stories. They want children to believe these wonderful creations result from mindless processes even though children can see God created them. They teach children to ignore the observations and pay attention to the made-up stories.
