Does National Geographic Promote Atheism?
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
National Geographic interviewed atheist Jerry Coyne.1 The subject was not science, but Coyne's personal beliefs. Will Nat Geo provide the same platform for a researcher who believes that God, rather than nature, created all things?
In the article posted online May 31, 2015, Coyne took shots at the idea that God created the world from the perspective of his belief in an evolving universe. He is a professor of evolution at the University of Chicago, the author of the book Why Evolution is True, and has frequently contributed to National Geographic. In this new article, Coyne accused religion of being harmful superstition and promoted his new book, Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible.

Yup. The Tasaday, back around 1973. Fooled a lot of us.
Their TV channel has been pushing glo-bull warming as real and they make sure to tell us that the Sun has nothing to do with it....swap the “u” for an “o” and they can tell us that the Son is also irrelevant.
Perhaps I am making the wrong interpretation of the above remark. The Original premise was that NatGeo promoted atheism, i.e., the belief that there is no God. If you are equating a belief in God with "superstition" and then proposing that belief in God is incompatible with science, how do you account for:
Nicholas Copernicus
Francis Bacon
Johannes Kepler
Galileo Galilei
Rene Descartes
Blaise Pascal
Isaac Newton
Robert Boyle?
Kind of like this chick - false identity - and the whole nine yards.
What do you mean by that?
Are you an atheist or do you believe in God?
I honestly can’t tell by your post.
Back in the early 60's I took typing. Typing I was one semester and Typing II was the second. I was so bad at it my teacher asked me not to come back for Typing II. The options for 1 semester classes were very limited so I chose Library Science. The Librarian wasn't use to having a guy working in the library, so all I did was put the books back in the Dewey Decimal System manner and go in the back room and put the magazines in proper order. NG and the photography magazines generally occupied most of my time.
All media including NG, has been about destroying the Christian Worldview and planting the Humanist one. Pictures are worth a thousand words and dozens of starving children with flies buzzing around their bloated bodies were standard in the 50s from the war-torn (Marxist) parts of Africa which was an emotional appeal to quit breeding.
Of course, the White race was on the trajectory of extinction—and that is the point. Can’t have people pass on their Worldview which created the Age of Reason and Individualism and Natural Rights from God. They need to destroy that Worldview-—and so reproducing was the first attack-—normalizing two “kid” families (for the goat-god sacrifice).
They want pagan minds-—tribal minds for their NWO. Jesus Christ (Individual dignity and worth—all life is sacred including sex acts) can NEVER exist in a Collective mindset where sterile sex is essential-—for irrational and immoral people. Without Virtue, there can be no Freedom (Socrates/Araistotle)
Pictures were selected for their emotional appeal (control of perceptions-—quit having children, Christian concept of “be fruitful and multiply” was gross.) How often I got looks of pure hatred when I was out with my five children!!! The psychology works people-—irrational emotions are attached to the concepts quite easily that the Marxists are feeding your children in public schools and TV pictures and music which will make the concepts of Christianity extinct (impossible for them).
It is all about the perceptions of the masses (Ray Bradbury). It is NOT about Truth-—it is about destroying Reason and having Emotion rule Reason——for puerile, manageable useful idiots who believes the State—whatever they pump out and as Solzhenitsyn stated in 78—our “news” (media) is WORSE than Pravda.....and worse, we believe what we hear.
Check out Diana West’s America’s Betrayal.....she is out of Plato’s Cave.
Why did a few people control all media by 1920? To control ALL perceptions of the masses. It was designed by the German psychologist Wundt in the 1800s and Fichte and the Postmodernists (Kill God group)_
They PLANNED with the Prussian school system-—the one adopted here by the Humanist, John Dewey (G.Stanley Hall was his mentor and trained by Wundt and in Germany), but in Germany first—to make children by filling them with Lies and Emotions tied to Lies and Artificial Environments (institutions to dehumanize) to make them totally irrational so they believe “snow is black” and Vice is Virtue (by “feeling” it with no ability for critical thinking (Classical Education was destroyed by John Dewey).
Catholic schools were still good until the 50s-—and the Sex Ed,etc. leaked in to warp desires and understanding of Truth by destroying innocence and enlarging the Limbic area of the brain (primitive part) so normal sexual identity formation is impossible. The Prussian concept of “Kindergarten” to get children out of the family at a YOUNGER age (put in artificial, trapped institutions, so their plastic minds could be warped and away from Individualism, the Natural Family, and Real Life interactions and Real Life skill mastery (true self-initiative and self-worth is compromised by the peer “group” which conditions children to fear thinking “outside the box”—actually fear not conforming to the culture.. That created the 60s mass conformity movement-—like the Hitler Youth idolization of Hitler——throw out Reason for Lies and Emotions only. It is dangerous-—mobs are dangerous and collapse culture. Reason is essential to Justice and Just Law.
Christianity is the ONLY religion (other than Deism) which is based on Natural Law Theory.....Reason and Science. Christianity is based on Reasoned Faith-—never Blind Faith—like with pagan gods, Satan, Atheism, Marxism, Mother Gaia, which all throw out Natural Law (Reason and Science).
All groups-—like the Feminist one, Homosexual ones are Marxist—founded by Communists who are there for “herd control” to instill emotions in the young which creates a hatred for Natural Law (maternal and masculine instincts) and a hatred for our Founders—so they NEVER can understand the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment.
They will be totally WARPED with inability to use Reason.....because of the operant conditioning done to them by TV, Video Games and Public Schools and Music. Emotions will be trained to control Reason-—FLipping 3000 years of Ethics (Biblical)....to the pagan, Satanist ethics of “feel good, do it” which will collapse culture.
The artificial Marxist State where there is NO biological connections (so State is mommy and daddy) can be installed. The State is god and determines Good and Evil (total control of ALL ideas your children have and feel—so they need no armies, no guns-—they are just “happy (non-thinking) slaves” for the State.
I have talked with graduates from high school....they are DUMB-—so irrational, it will be almost impossible to shake their belief system in Mother Earth Worship and Sexual Liberation-—Libido Dominandi. Slaves of vice. They remind me of the Hitler Youth since they KNOW they are right and smarter than the Founders and certainly the “irrational” Bible, which is the wisest book on human nature that has ever been written..
The Christian Worldview has to be made IRRATIONAL——to destroy Critical Thinking in the masses. The magazines were promoting Malthusian emotions and Darwinism for their entire existence to make people want to quit reproducing (all white cultures—for the good of the earth) and quit believing in the “irrational” (historical) Jesus Christ and to willingly toss out 1000 years of Tradition (Individualism for Slavery of vice or State)
The Catholic Canon and schools USED to be based on Natural Law Theory-—that is why even birth control was the Natural Rhythm Method-—because positing toxins in the body to destroy the Natural actions of the body —plus making human interaction meaningless on purpose is dehumanizing and reduces man to a Means (Object-—it is dehumanizing).
Contraceptions was made “normal” by a lot the Protestants in 1930——this started the de=Christianization of America and the Marxist Worldview was taking over the youth. That generation created the sexual revolution—Marxist worldview of “sex”-—meaningless, sterile act devoid of Natural Duty and reproduction.
It elevated looking at others for narcissistic lust—emotion devoid of Reason. Using people as objects for lust. BUT The Catholic Church was the ONLY one against the Marxist Worldview at this time (1930) so was infiltrated as Bella Dodd wrote in her book (and was murdered like Pope John Paul). The Church actually predicted women would be turned into objects and dehumanized and marriage would be ruined and divorce widespread and children emotionally crippled and ineducable and left puerile adults—just angry and dysfunctional as adults and addicts of vice.
So, NOW we have the TOTAL takeover of the CC-—the infiltration to the TOP, which Bella Dodd spoke of that started in earnest in 1930 in her book on the intentional infiltration by the homosexual communists. (All Communists are “free thinkers”-—they want sex with everything and anything like a Harry Hay-—even boys).
It appears we have a Marxist pope. LOL-——if the Catholic Church accepts such an oxymoronic concept (an anti-pope) ——then, they no longer are Catholic or Christian.
Their concern is Truth/God ONLY-=the master of Lies is Satan and “Global Warming” like all science can NEVER have the Truth of Reality. Philosophy of Science realizes that theories are NEVER Truth—and the Truth with a capital “T” is IMPOSSIBLE, as the CC should know.
Global Warming is a pseudo-science concept. It is just more irrational BS like sodomy is a virtue, men are women-—to destroy Natural Laws and Reason in children with emotional (fear) appeals: The removal of the idea of the Founders: Right Reason according to Natural Law is the basis of all Truth and Justice. Remove Reason from the human being and we are nothing but godless animals to be herded and controlled and culled. We are NOT made in the image of God. That is being drilled into our children so we submit to slavery-—happily, as Fichte and the German pharmaceuticals planned-—make us slaves to drugs and Lies (and fear)-—artificial NWO. Totally irrational and removed from true Justice-—willingly. Let the State dictate Truth and control all actions and thoughts. Church is not a beacon of Truth/God, apparently. Satan (Lies) rules the World now.
You must have a learning disability. Please go back and read my first post. I said I was not advocating for his side.
I wrote that because I know that psueo-philosophers would start the crap you are saying.
Leave me alone. A question was asked, and I answered it.
You and the other guy are trying to suck me into an argument that I do not believe in, I don’t support, and I am not going to defend.
What part of “I am not advocating on either side” is difficult to understand.
Go poke your stick somewhere else. I am not playing.
Well, then, words mean something and you might be more circumspect about claims you cannot support.
WTF?
You must be retarded.
The answer to the question was an answer. If you want to argue, go find someone else. Really. If you don’t like it, fine.
Do you want me to attack “God” and “religion?” Thats not gonna happen.
Do I believe in evolution? In scientific theory? That religion has retarded the advancement of science?
Yes to all of these.
There are fools out here who believe the earth is 6,000 years old. And they teach that to their children. And worse...they really really believe that.
Religion, as an organized group, has done more to ruin this world and hold people down than anything else besides mosquitoes.
It is amazing the power it has to drive people to be jerks, when it supposedly requires love and forgiveness.
You might want to check yourself on that.
Yes to all of these."
Now we are getting somewhere. The true error of your position is beginning to come through. And, with a touch of anger thrown in. If you are so adamant about representing yourself thoroughly, are you of the persuasion that "evolution" is the source of life?
And speaking of “fools” and “jerks”, just how old does a brilliant, evolutionist believe the earth is? 30 Billion years? If so, what was before that? Are you actually claiming that it spontaneously created itself along with the rest of the material universe? So, matter is self-created from nothing? Time + Chance + Nothing self-created the universe? Help us here...after all, you are the “science” minded person who only holds to provable “scientific principles”.
“You must have a learning disability.”
Seriously? You really have to go there and try to throw out “learning disability” like an insult? Hopefully none of your family members ever have to deal with one, with a sensitive guy like you around.
“A question was asked, and I answered it.”
No, you didn’t, that’s what I was pointing out. You answered some other question, perhaps, but not the one I asked.
Go pray to your golden calf.
Wow, you’re a little ray of sunshine, aren’t you?
But seriously, when I wrote the first post I stated the answer to the question first posed. Mine was an answer to a question, and I specifically said it was not MY position and I was not defending it.
So, how did this become you and the other old fool nit picking my answer? Did you read the original question. And then my answer?
Why do you feel compelled to badger me for a response to something that I stated I did not agree with in the first place? How does your mind work?
What if I said i believed in the Sietchin perspective, where the ancients came down as Gods, and manufactured man as a genetic improvement over the apes to make them smart enough to work as slaves for them. And when they were done, they simply left us here as if we were trash.
Or, that we evolved from amino acids that were hit by lightening in a pool of salt water scum.
Or that we are all riding on the back of a large turtle.
There are so many theories, and quite honestly I find them all interesting and worthy of study. But I really don’t care; as I am here. How we got here is really kind of moot isn’t it?
I think a better question would be what exactly are you trying to get at by badgering a stranger into an argument I stated I did not want to participate in, in the first place? What are you expecting from your line of questioning?
I am happy today, too....
“But seriously, when I wrote the first post I stated the answer to the question first posed.”
You keep saying that, but you didn’t offer any relevant answer to my question.
“Why do you feel compelled to badger me for a response to something that I stated I did not agree with in the first place?”
I’m not badgering you for a response. I simply won’t agree that you answered my question, because you did not. If you keep saying you did, I’m going to have to keep pointing out that you didn’t.
p.s. Remember, you started a conversation with me, not the other way around. All I’ve done is reply to posts you keep making to me. So, who exactly is badgering?
Well then I guess you did not like my answer. Too bad. Go look elsewhere.
