Also germane in this context is a book by Henry Morris: The Long War Against God:https://www.amazon.ca/Long-War-Against-God-Publishing/dp/B00SQE6XHQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1488153180&sr=8-3&keywords=Henry+Morris%3A+The+Long+War+Against+God%3A
Did anyone see “Is Genesis History?” on the 23rd?
I believe in genetics, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology and biochemistry. I believe in the underlying chemical and biochemical relatedness of living things. I believe in the scientific method. I am not sure what “believing” in evolution does to make me a better scientist.
FairWitness, Ph.D., Biochemistry
In the beginning God created evolution.
Aaaah, no!
You might as well blame kale, or broccoli for all the world's evils, that would make just as much sense.
"Darwinism" (whatever that means) is not the "root" of all evil, it's misuse is merely symptomatic of what evil minded people can do with any idea, whether scientific, philosophical, religious or whatever.
Indeed Darwin's ideas on evolution are simply the natural outcome of scientific assumptions and physical evidence.
No other theories meeting those basic criteria explain the evidence so well.
Of course the religious problem here is that scientific ideas which can well be used to explain "how God did it" instead are often assumed to claim, "no God is necessary or exists".
But those are religious or philosophical claims, not scientific, and neither Darwin nor any other scientist could make such claims scientifically.
So the enemy of Christianity is not science, or scientists per se, but rather atheists who proclaim their atheism masquerading as science.
Again, "Darwinism" strictly defined is simply a natural explanation for what the Bible tells us God created.
There were 'anti-Christian' athiests before 1859.
What did they use as their philosophical basis?
It is kind of a “trick” question because they have made the Word “evolution” meaningless-—like the Marxists did with Liberal and Marriage.
It is the Marxist M.O. to control Words and literally flip their meanning to destroy Traditions and Logic in children.
Wittgenstein stated those who control Language and Images (for the children and adults) would control the Minds of those mindless masses.
Macro-evolution has been discredited but it is STILL taught as FACT in all our schools since it is just a Marxist Lie indoctrination system since John Dewey (and esp. with Common Core—just agitprop to destroy the Mind and the ability for critical thought).
Most scientists believe in micro-evolution though. My favorite all-time book on “evolution” is by Dr. David Berlinski-—the Devil’s Delusion. He is hilarious!!!
ping for later.
We are expected to believe that aside from a very specific type of chrstian (white, mostly Protestant but with a few Latin Rite Catholics thrown in), the entire world essentially believes in eighteenth century European rationalism and nineteenth century European materialism.
We are asked to believe this by an elite culture that simultaneously claims to be totally enraptured with the "spirituality" of "people of color" and "indigenous peoples." In other words, people who logically should have nothing in common with European rationalists and European materialists. In fact, when "poc/ip" are in the news for whatever reason, Charles Darwin and the alleged universal acceptance of his theory suddenly disappears. There is no "evolution." There is only the "dreamtime," the shaman, the lama, or what-have-you. But when the poc/ip leave the scene suddenly these moonstruck acolytes of The Rainbow Serpent once again become the children of Voltaire.
Now, does this make any sense to anyone? Really? It's exactly like the "heels" in old-time "kayfabe" pro wrestling. Logically, the "heels" should all hate each other, yet among them there is only a peace the like of which this world has never known. Each one claims to be "the greatest" and to hail from "the greatest" place, yet there is never the slightest conflict or argument. Instead, the "heels" spend all their time feuding with humble, non-hostile "babyfaces."
Now obviously this particular "heel stable" is based on the inversion of chrstianity (which would not exist if chrstianity did not exist, btw). The only thing that atheist European scientists and Australian aboriginal shamans have in common is the liberal stereotype that "rednecks hate them." So just as the "Pearl Harbor Jap" teams up with the local evil redneck "bully of the town," the world of only matter in motion teams up with the Rainbow Serpent. Isn't that something? Perhaps one day Vince McMahon will create a heel team of The Scientist and The Shaman. They'd be tailor-made to get heat in the Bible Belt.
Of course, just as ridiculous and illogical is the idea that ultimate meaninglessness can serve as a foundation for totalitarian altruism, and yet very few atheists take the logical position that because the universe is without meaning, it doesn't matter what we do.
It's too bad that it took a slimy organization like the Chalcaedon Foundation to promote this book. Although the article says that the author is a believer in "intelligent design"--theistic evolution with a signature.
