"Since the publication of Charles Darwin's famous book 'Origin of Species' in 1859 a great controversy has raged between evolutionists and people who believe in God as the creator and Sustainer of all things. The controversy has been characterized by many as an argument between science and the Bible, but the opposite is true: the real argument is between science and evolution."
(Say what?)
"Evolution interests almost everyone because of its impact upon spiritual matters. If evolution were true, the Christian concepts of sin, eternity, the atoning work of Jesus Christ, and the truthfulness of the Bible would be open to question. (And we can't have that!) If man is nothing more than a highly developed animal then he is to be congratulated for his struggle upward and is to be excused when he acts like an animal; but if man is the divinely created being the Bible tells us he is, then man is a creature made in the image of God and a sinner in need of divine grace."
Modern Science has a Biblical foundation: Most of the early scientists--great men like Newton, Galileo, Kepler, and Boyle--believed in God. Many wrote about God's infinite wisdom and design in creation. They believed that God created an orderly universe that He governs through laws that men may discover and use. "
And that folks is how evolution is introduced to impressionable young children who are expected to live among their more educated, and less indoctrinated, brethren who have stopped gazing at the shadows on the cave wall and walked toward the truth. (H/T to Plato.)
(Here is a link to more pages of this pseudo scientific, religiously infused, mumbo jumbo.
Whenever I resent the religious crap I was made to swallow during my Catholic education, reading something like this makes me realize it wasn't all bad. We may have been taught that God created the world, but we were also taught about evolution because it was not seen as incompatible with that. It seems positively progressive compared to fundie brainwashing.
ReplyDeleteOf course, they fail to recognize that if THEY are right, all the other animals were created by a god as well. And THAT just proves how cruel and violent said god is. You know, because animals are so "nice" to each other? By killing each other and/or swallowing each other alive? Or ripping out chunks of the prey while it is still alive?
ReplyDeleteNice thing to worship, huh?
So when a child finishes this "Quality Edmification" and is ready to head out into the world...
ReplyDeleteExactly what is it they will be qualified to do?
Don't tell me that colleges will have to dumb down their entrance requirements to let these idiot children in...
If they're lucky, they'll have the skill set to do and post selfies. If not, they'll wear white lab coats and sell lancome at Macy's.

ReplyDeleteMichele Bachmann: The Rapture Is Coming And It's Obama's Fault

This line of thinking always confuses me. I thought Christians were eagerly anticipating the rapture, but if Obama is causing it we have to stop it?

"Most of the early scientists--great men like Newton, Galileo, Kepler, and Boyle--believed in God." -- they believed in Alchemy and astrology too. What does that prove?
ReplyDeleteI'd believe, too, if not believing got you dragged out of your home at night never to be seen again.
