Any sort of a theory whose adherents simply ignore major disproofs over a long period of time is basically a religious doctrine. Evolution should have been abandoned after the fruit fly experiments.
agreed.....so look in a mirror. Evolution is REAL science.
When Communists in the last century took over a country, they “educated” the people. Not in the wonders of socialism or communism, but in EVOLUTION. This was to eliminate the idea that there was a CREATOR, a HIGHER POWER than the government.
Nope, through evolution, those HUMANS who were in power in the government were the only souce of truth to be had, based on their own definitions.
How exactly, could any of these theories affect the survival of America?
V..Evolution is REAL science.
First: science, like politics is merely a product of culture. In turn, culture is founded on two core presuppositions: 1. the origin of life, 2. the source and/or cause of evil (suffering).
Because Evolution purports to tell us the origins of life, it is not science but cosmology.
Second: microevolution is undisputed. Horticulturalists, animal breeders, etc. have ALWAYS known of this capacity.
Evolution deceptively disguises itself behind microevolution when in reality it’s true purpose is to cause people to believe the entirely fallacious proposition that bacteria can change into fish and fish into proto-apes and so on. This is macro-evolution.
In the final analysis, macro-evolution is a superstition.
The important thing this article does is affirms what I've said before - evolution is a philosophy, NOT a science. Evolution is a worldview and a philosophical lens through which empirical evidences are interpreted. Evolution, itself, is not science. It is not empirically verifiable. It is not repeatable. It relies upon the interpretation of circumstantial evidences which, in and of themselves, would have nothing to do with evolution except that evolutionists have chosen to jam them into the evolutionary framework which they've built.
Kind of like Creationists.

stuart..How...could these theories affect the survival of America?
Reread the essay.
Well, evolutionism has served as a philosophical enabler for everything from totalitarian Communism to eugenics and Nazism, for one.
Exactly. If only MORE Americans would ‘wake up’ to this truth, our nation would not be sinking into an abyss of naturalism.
Then you must be hell on Geology, Astronomy, Physics, and so forth, and so on.
Because our understanding of politics has been corrupted, we cannot discuss what threatens our political sovereignty until we free ourselves from the effects of that corruption. It’s as if we are looking at our political life through lenses or panes of glass that obscure and distort everything we see, including the nature of our own actions.
Thus, though the very possibility of electoral politics derives from moral premises that justify and require self-government, we are led to consider our political choices without regard to those moral premises, as if economic and other material consequences are the only proper subjects of political life.
Why do the American people accept this approach, when it so evidently undermines their claim to political sovereignty?

Blah blah blah evolutionism blah blah humanism blah blah Dahmer blah blah blah Stalin blah blah Hitler blah blah blah.
We’ve heard all this before and it’s still a load. A belief in evolution is not inconsistent with a belief in God, nor does it inevitably lead to a belief in humanism, communism, or whatever. The Islamist terrorists that we are fighting today are creationists - does that mean creationism is responsible for their murderous creed?
No, just the philosophical approach which misinterprets the empirical evidences obtained from those disciplines. Evolutionism just likes to add it's own spin, and then claim that these interpretations, in and of themselves, are "science". It's all bunkum, it's all circular, and it belies poor thinking abilities on the part of the evolutionists who do it.
“Waiting for evolutionists to invoke an “Evolution in the gaps” argument in ...”
Or more likely to call out the ACLU and demand that talk radio and the internet be banned. Critical thinking and free speech is dangerous to the superstionists of evolution.
I must say that this is indeed the question that I ponder day and night. Not "will the country be destroyed by the 20 million illegal Mexican invaders that Kongress and Jorje Bush want to ram down our throats", not" will Kongress and Jorje Bush advance gun control and finally get rid of that annying second amendment". No. These pale in comparison to the question of evolutionary humanism.
