“Don’t forget those evil “Geologists” And them “Physicists.”
Spirited: Ideas have consequences precisely because all men really do have two sides, a dark side easily seduced by evil hence prone to doing wrong and a light side, defined here as an unsullied conscience in search of moral good.
Geology and physics are not deviously disguised Godless cosmogonies as Darwinism is, therefore do not pose the danger that Darwinism poses.
Darwinism is not empirical science but rather a metaphysical evolutionary cosmogony whose tap-root stretches back to the Enuma Elish, the ancient evolutionary cosmogony of Sumeria and Babylonia.
Symbolically, Darwinism is Sauron’s One Ring of power. It’s immediate appeal is to the dark side of man because it holds that while all mem evolved out of pre-existing pond scum, some evolved men are nevertheless superior to the all others due to a predestination-process known as natural selection.
The greatest irony of all is that Darwinism denies man’s sin nature out of one side of its mouth, while out of the other loudly proclaiming his guilt by holding up a bright blood-red neon-arrow blinking out the message: man is a liar, thief, and murderer guilty of enslaving torturing and murderering millions of men, women, and children.
One of the chief lies of our time is this: Darwinism is science.
Evolution, by contrast, would fall in the historical sciences category - along the same lines as anthropology, archeology and Egyptology. The theory is a "just so" story built around spotty evidence (quantizations) in the geological record (a continuum.)
In the former sciences - the hard sciences - the absence of evidence is evidence of absence. In the historical sciences, the reverse is true - after all, the record is spotty at best.
And so the historical sciences get away with making a lot of claims where validity is granted based on the credentials of the speaker or the popularity of the claim among his peers. There are few means to falsify such claims by objective observation or empirical tests.
And so many people take their claims as confidently as if it were spoken by a physicist or chemist. But they are not comparable and should not be valued the same.
It is absolutely tragic, in my view, that evolution theory was taken as scientifically credible reasoning to devalue human life whether via socialism, communism, sorting, culling, killing, breeding, abortion, infanticide or other eugenics - or affects of atheism and extreme animal rights activism.
