It would be a mistake to conclude that fundamentalists oppose all science (when in reality they but oppose) a single theory (that) directly contradicts the bible. But it would be an equally great mistake to conclude that religious liberals and the irreligious possess superior minds of great rationality, to see them as modern personalities who have no need of the supernatural or any propensity to believe unscientific superstitions. On the contrary...they are much more likely to accept the new superstitions....

Indeed. Elsewhere I made the claim that Darwinism is the great myth of our age. I continue to believe that. The more you analyze it, the more questionable it seems.

But it isn't only religious people like myself who find the theory troubling. The great pioneer of complex systems theory, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, was deeply troubled about Darwinian evolution theory's propensity of undermining the social consensus necessary to the preservation of a just and peaceful society.

In short, Bertalanffy believed the theory has worrisome, deleterious social effects. But then any accepted propagation of untruth is damaging to reason and the well-being of human persons. Such "theories" are merely tools of the Evil One; and they are evidently highly effective tools that work toward the destruction of man and society.

FWIW.

Thank you so much dear spirited for posting this wonderfully insightful essay!

IMO, “Darwinism” is purely a political system, advanced as a “scientific” theory in an effort to provide a justification for various Socialist/Marxist ideas, and an effort to undermine, or otherwise subvert, Judeo-Christian and Capitalist ideals. Can’t say (so I won’t) that was Darwin’s idea in the first place, but that is what it has become, as a tool for the Judeo-Christian haters and the Capitalism haters, much in the same fashion as Moslems use “Scientific” language to justify their murderous pogroms against “infidels” and even people of their own faith who believe in Capitalism and liberty.

Thanks for your contribution. Top drawer, as always.

Thank you so much for your insights, dearest sister in Christ, and for bringing Bertalanffy's concerns to the table!

Indeed, one of the consequences has been the undermining of the social consensus.

One of the legs of radical Atheism, it represent a full-blown religion that parallels each and every Christian belief, though without a god at its foundation.

yes, evolution is satan’s massive attempt to create doubt about the existence of God. Fail.
