Evolutionists Celebrate Darwin Day

BY JAKE HEBERT, PH.D. * | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2018

February 12th is Darwin Day—Charles Darwin’s birthday. Many secular and humanist organizations set aside this day to honor Darwin and his legacy. According to the International Darwin Day website, a formal recognition of Darwin Day began in the 1990s with molecular and cell biologist Dr. Robert Stephens; geneticist, biologist, and philosopher Professor Massimo Pigliucci; and Amanda Chesworth, the former president of Internet Infidels and current publisher of the Skeptical Inquirer magazine.1

Right, right. The senseless theory that humans descended from non-living matter to “paramecia” to man has nothing to do with unbelief! lol
You are only kidding yourself, Moonman.

What we see is what we get. It’s amazing if you take time to understand it. I don’t think God appreciates you poking fun at his work.

Face it Moonman, Darwin intellectualized what is your own inherent racism.

Thomas Huxley, Darwin's sidekick and "Bulldog," as he was then called, put yours and Darwin's theology into context when he wrote:

"No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man.....it is simply incredible to think that.....he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites."

(Thomas Huxley, 1871, Lay Sermons, addresses and reviews)

Perhaps your faith in whatever God you worship is buttressed by latter-day atheists and intellectualized racists like the late evolutionary apologist Stephen Jay Gould, PhD.

"Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1850, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory. The litany is familiar: cold, dispassionate, objective, modern science shows us that races can be ranked on a scale of superiority. If this offends Christian morality or a sentimental belief in human unity, so be it; science must be free to proclaim unpleasant truths. But the data were worthless…If the chorus of racist arguments did not follow a constraint of data, it must have reflected social prejudice pure and simple…

(Stephen Jay Gould, Ontogeny and Phylogeny, Belknap-Harvard Press, 1977, page 127–128.)

I think it’s nonsense of the type you and fishtank spew that turns people away from God.

By your CNN-level logic --- Darwin turns away from God, Huxley coins the term "agnostic" to describe himself and others too lazy to recognize the fact that there is God, and Stevie Gould and his Harvard hack "intelligensia" refuse to believe there is God -- while these 3 probably share jail cells in hell in proximity to each other today, you have the temerity to to think that exposing theirs and your own deep-seated racism somehow turns people away from God?

The evolutionists around here are sometimes just too stupid for words.

Evolution is true! But in recent years (due to advances in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, etc.), we have learned that we understand VERY LITTLE about how it works!!!!

Why a Darwin Day, and no Pasteur Day, Einstein Day, etc., etc.? Something is obviously wrong. Do I smell atheism? Or even fascism?

Your obvious discomfort just convinces me that I’m right.

Nah, just convinces readers all the more that you are nothing more than an apologist for racists who inspire Communists.

Seems that you are as enraptured with Darwin's racism as was Karl Marx.

"[Darwin's work].....serves me as a natural scientific basis for the class - struggle in history…. “Although it is developed in the crude English style, this is a book which contains the basis of natural history for our views.”

(Karl Marx on Darwin's "Origin of Species" December, 1860)

Marx also believed that the theory of historical materialism..... ".....is destined to do for history what Darwin's theory has done for biology.“

Marx dedicated Das Kapital (2nd ed., 1873) to Charles Darwin. Darwin couldn't thank him enough for the compliment.

"Dear Sir:   I thank you for the honour which you have done me by sending me your great work on Capital; & I heartily wish that I was more worthy to receive it, by understanding more of the deep and important subject of political Economy. Though our studies have been so different, I believe that we both earnestly desire the extension of Knowledge, & that this is in the long run sure to add to the happiness of Mankind.   I remain, Dear Sir,   Yours faithfully,         Charles Darwin"

(Letter from Charles Darwin to Karl Marx, October, 1873)

True conservatives across America will celebrate Lincoln's birthday on February 12, and phony conservatives like you are welcome to celebrate the birthday of a philosophical racist who like yourself tried to appropriate "science" to justify your personal inclinations toward bigotry.

Karl Marx and you have your racist "hero" and a racist rationale for your philosophical existence. Your postings only delight us further with the personal tyranny you suffer and scientific discontinuity with which your philosophy continues to enslave your vanishingly small intellect.

The 12th? I thought it would have evolved to the 13th by now.

Have there been any religious leaders over the past 200 years who were racist or supported racism?

God does not appeciate YOU for ignoring common sense, and relying on fairy tale conjecturing.
Which do you think evolved first-— muscles, bones, tendons or ligaments? And, how valuable would even 3 of 4 be to survival of humanity? We would be in a HEAP of trouble, except for the fact that with movement impossible, we couldn’t go anywhere to get into trouble! We couldn’t even approach the sexiest heap imaginable to mate! lol

Well presented, Agamemnon.
BTW, did you know that my musical idol Al Stewart has a song, “Helen and Cassandra”, which mentions Agamemnon? Great flute bridge in the song as well.

I’m impressed by people like Alvin Plantinga who believes that evolution supports theism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_argument_against_naturalism

But your attempt at reasoning is nothing but pathetic.

“Pathetic”, yet you can offer no explanation for my challenge. You believe as you wish, even if your opinion, based upon defiance of common sense, has led to over a hundred million slaughtered in the past century alone. Hey, these despots were simply speeding up the “survival of the fittest” process.

There is no challenge among that pile of mush. If you were smart, which you undoubtedly aren’t, you’d read that link I gave you that references Alvin Plantinga.

Nothing about you surprises me. It would not surprise me to learn that the "church" you pretend to "worship" in might possibly be led by a racist calling himself a religious "leader." Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Grand Wizard of your coven was a Communist. Your "scientific" worldview forms the basis of the Communistic world view according to Marx himself. As I said, nothing about you would surprise me.

Louis Farrakhan is a racist religious "leader," as is every other mullah in a mosque. Chicago's "Father" Michel Pfleger and Obama's "liberation theologian"-pastor, Jeremiah Wright are racists -- possibly you knew that, or maybe you just forgot.

I see that you also forgot that Darwin was a failed theological seminarian before he ever made any pretense at being a "naturalist".

What's the matter with you today, MoonUnit? Miss having that gaggle of banned, intellectually hobbled "Darwin Central" racists coming to your rescue, even as your racist evolutionary scam continues to stumble with every exposure of the intellectual fraud that it is?

Shouldn't you be exterminating some "lesser race" in celebration of Darwin's birthday on some other forum today, or will you be saving that for your precious 79th anniversary celebration of Margaret Sanger's "Negro Project?"

Yes I know the song. Al Stewart is also one of the best historical balladeers around.

"Time passages ... buy me a ticket of the last train home tonight...."

FReegards!

Alvin and his band of chipmunks need to do real science, which means hypothesize, test and re-test. THAT is science, FRiend.
