Sacrifice a Goat at the Temple of Darwin Ping!
Says it all. And that mentality is still there.
Later, an ape-like being grasped a hanging branch, and raised itself to an upright position, and peered into the primeval forest. This was the immediate ancestor of Man, --- but the world was savage still.
In the Tertiary epoch, for the first time appeared an animal that walked erect, and used a tool, and wore a garment. This was lordly Man himself, -- but the world was savage still.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!

I always enjoy reading the extracts from your antique collection. It’s a diversion from grappling with the deluge of modern evidence that is continually driving evolutionary science forward. Thanks!
Why people refuse to see this cult for what it is, escapes me.
"Monism" was an organized cult -- the Monistenbund. It had thousands of members. Haeckel's books were translated into a dozen languages. But even 30 years before Victor Robinson wrote that chapter you see above, we find similar stuff in unlikely places (from some member of the Brooklyn Ethical Association who, I think, was involved in education):
The intelligent world owes a debt of gratitude to Prof. Haeckel. It is due to his labors, mainly, that the doctrine of evolution is now as well established as Kepler's laws of the motions of the planetary bodies, or Newton's law of gravitation. No careful student of modern scientific thought now doubts that the law of cause and effect prevails throughout all phenomena, whether physical or mental. Every effect is the exact product of antecedent causes. Thought is as much the product of the condition's under which it arises as is the formation of a crystal or the growth of a tree. There is no room for supernatural interference anywhere. Though the natural evolution of living forms out of non-living matter has not been demonstrated as a fact of present occurrence, there is no doubt in the mind of consistent evolutionists that the most primitive organisms were originally produced by spontaneous generation. Prof. Haeckel's investigations in embryology constitute a most important confirmation of the Darwinian theory, and entitle him to be placed in the front rank of experimental scientists.Weird and scary, and this stuff pops up all over the place in evolution books of the pre-Nazi era.-- Nelson J. Gates
Says it all. And that mentality is still there.
Romanes went over to the enemy also. At one time he was billed as Darwin's successor (by Times). It was Romanes who concluded, in his book on the evidences for evolution, "the theist must despair: where now thy God?" But before he died, he reconciled himself with the Anglican Church. That is why you never hear about him. All his research and tomes on evolution (and his anti-Prayer, monism, etc. books) amounted to absolutely nothing. Nobody remembers him and evolutionists never mention him.

None so ignorant as those who ignore the truth!
It’s like the global warming cult. All evidence favors the myth, even evidence against it, like the Cambrian explosion of forms.
Humans have a need to worship a higher power and the evolution cult attempts to fulfill that need.
This whole humanism/atheism/Darwinism thing is just another cult that sprang up in the 1800’s like so many others that appeared at that time.
Kind of curious what it might have been in the water or air to make the spiritual climate so receptive to deceit.
How does the "Cambrian explosion of forms" (a rather slow motion, approximately 53 million year "explosion" that took place 500 million years ago) constitute evidence in support of creationism and against evolution?
Creationist "truth" as a flow chart!

Like I said, none so ignorant as those who ignore the truth. The flowchart has nothing to do with reality, nor with the position of creationists.
If you review any crevo thread on FR, that flow chart is spot on.
By the time lines suggested by evolutionary theory five million years is not slow motion. And I said nothing about creationism, which is not my belief.
