Here is evolution for you:
http://upressonline.com/2012/03/fau-student-threatens-to-kill-professor-and-classmates/ This is very sad. And it seems crazy at first.
BUT THINK ABOUT IT. It is obvious to me what is going on here. Yes, I am guessing / reading between the lines. But I think it is very clear.
The class was being taught about EVOLUTION:
A fellow classmate, Rachel Bustamante, was sitting behind Carr prior to her outburst and noticed she had been avoiding looking at the professor until 11:35 a.m. — that’s when she snapped. The classmate reported that Kajiura was discussing attraction between peacocks when Carr raised her hand to ask her question about evolution. She asked it four times, and became increasingly upset each time Kajiura’s answer failed to satisfy her.
DID YOU CATCH IT? The professor was discussing the evolutionary role of "attraction between peacocks."
In other words, how do animals / people choose a mate?
If you remember what evolution teaches, it teaches that INDIVIDUALS *MATE* BASED UPON PERCEIVED *SUPERIOR* CHARACTERISTICS for evolution.
So this Black woman Jonatha(?) Carr obviously perceives that BEING BLACK IS ASSUMED (by many) to be INFERIOR and that evolution means that men CHOOSE women based upon what is perceived to be SUPERIOR qualities.
What evolution means to Carr -- and who can blame her, logically? -- is that men are going to choose "BETTER" women than her, and she is not going to get chosen as a valuable person or desirable mate.
Hence, the discussion of how animals, like peacocks, CHOOSE A MATE based upon how they other one LOOKS.
So this Black woman is obviously perceiving that evolution means that men will choose the SUPERIOR candidate for mating and reproduction, and evolution produces "improvement" over time by men selecting SUPERIOR women -- meaning NOT HER.
Whereas Christianity teaches the value and infinite worth of E V E R Y human being in God's eyes, and that every man and woman is not only valuable just for who they are, but infinitely valuable in God's heart, evolution teaches that this Black woman is INFERIOR to other women, to be discarded and rejected in the evolutionary march toward perfection.
Buried in her thinking must be the idea that Black men (so the cliche goes, true or untrue) prefer White women over Black women. (I suspect this flows from Blacks being persecuted and wanting the affirmation of being valued by a perceied more powerful class, not because there is anything inherently superior about White women over Black women in an evolutionary sense.)
God looks over the vast diversity of human types and characteristics, and says IT IS GOOD: ALL OF IT. All of the vast differences and variety. There is no "better" or "worse" in God's eyes. There is no human being more (or less) valuable than this Black woman Carr. Everyone is equally cherished in God's heart.
Somewhere, if we can learn to follow God's plans (which unfortunately is much more difficult and mysterious than it sounds, and can be a frustrating search), God knows the PERFECT CHOICE of a man for Jonatha Carr.
NO, the man isn't perfect, any more than Miss Carr is perfect. No one is perfect. Marriage involves the strange situation of two VERY IMPERFECT human beings trying to live a life together without killing each other. Therein lies the challenge of learning to APPLY God's principles in real life. Marriage is like the "lab class" in comparison with the "class lecture." We get to put into practice during the week what God tries to teach us on Sunday.
But God says that if Miss Carr can put her trust in God's hands, there is a perfect choice of a mate for her. God doesn't move on our time table, and God can be frustrating sometimes. But in God Miss Carr lacks nothing.
However, evolution tells Miss Carr that life is a hostile, adversarial, dog-eat-dog COMPETITION in which she is necessarily going to be the LOSER because (in her mind, as she has been bombarded with negativity) being a Black woman puts her at the bottom of the list of choices.
Evolution means survival of the fittest and (she thinks) that ain't her.
Can you see now why she yells "I HATE EVOLUTION!"
The question is:
DO YOU?
DO YOU HATE EVOLUTION, TOO?
For the very same reason that Miss Carr understandably hates evolution, shouldn't we all?
Evolution is not simply an irrelevant side show for those who believe in God.
EVOLUTION IS A DIRECT AND VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE WORTH AND DIGNITY AND SELF IDENTITY OF HUMAN BEINGS, TEARING DOWN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THEMSELVES, AND PITTING BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER AND SISTER AGAINST SISTER, IN AN UNGODLY COMPETITION. Evolution breeds violence, hatred, depression, and despair.
There is not a single human being alive whom God does not want. And there is not a single human being alive whom God wants any more than any other.
Yet evolution tells this young Black woman - and any one else who has ever, temporarily, felt inferior for a moment in time -- that she is destined to be discarded by life, that she is trash to be excluded and rejected by the world.
Do you hate evolution with a passion, yet?
The problem isn't evolution. The problen is stupid people.
> Evolution is inherently racist. There is only one race - the human race.
Agree 100%. Could not have said it better.
That's RACISS!
For what it's worth, when Darwin wrote this the word "race" had not yet acquired many of its present day connotation. Nazism, eugenics, etc. were all in the future.
"Race" at the time meant roughly the same as "species," and it was used for plants and animals as well as people. Considering how much he wrote, there is surprisingly little evidence Darwin was racist, even by today's standards. He probably accepted the conventional wisdom (believed scientific) of his day that some groups of humans were inherently superior to other groups. But since he wrote so little about it, it obviously wasn't a big issue for him.
"....Darwinists specifically do not believe in evolution, being that they reject its very possibility (i.e., directional change into an intrinsically higher state). Rather, they believe in change, a very different thing. In this regard, they are very much like progressives, who also believe in change, but not genuine progress, since their metaphysic abolishes any absolute standard by which real progress can be measured. ..."
Soooo Christian men don't look at looks or other charactericts when choosing a mate?
Suuuuurrrrre!!!
This article is just stupid
For whatever reason, by the time the cameras came out, she was on her way to almost full melt-down mode. Then the death threats started.
The story itself is of interest because of the meltdown.
This might not have been as spontaneous as it is portrayed to be.
The left has been turning against Darwin and his buddy, who came up with the survival of the fittest theory for quite a while. it just doesn’t fit with the endangered species act and the socialist nanny state.
As this woman points out, it’s also in conflict with post modernist progressivism, which holds that all history is nothing but a work of fiction, a meta narrative, designed to oppress the brown people and prop up the Western White Male.
Barack Obama has even mentioned this theme in speeches, saying that our country was not founded on survival of the fittest. (little bit of cognitive dissonance there).
Evolution also implies that the black race is inferior to the white race because blacks are one evolutionary step closer to the primate class.
sorry, forgot to add...according to post-bellum Democrats.
Fat fingered this morning.
A major proof of a higher intelligence is curiosity.
The UNcurios would never even think to ask, "Which theory of evolution are you talking about?"
...just another episode of.
Black Girls Gone Wild !!
Hah! Beat me to it. That song still cracks me up.
No stranger than the rants encountered here any time Romney’s religion is mentioned.
The theory of evolution doesn’t teach that blacks are inferior in any way shape or form - other than if they live where their skin filters out too much sunlight and they cannot synthesize enough vitamin D and they don’t take vitamin D supplements - then they might get rickets.
Black skin is absolutely a “superior” adaptation in Africa - otherwise the lighter skinned variations would have predominated over the generations.
Moreover acceptance of the theory of evolution no more necessitates the idea that God did not create humans than acceptance of the theory of nuclear fusion means that God did not create our Sun.
Honest to God - had heard it in a while; now I’ve walking around the office humming and smiling
