Darwin's "The Origin of Species"? | |
nomuse (NLI) User ID: 750990 United States 08/20/2009 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All governments, including the United States Governmenet, are completely, 100% corrupt, and are pushing for a One World Order and One World Religion. Quoting: TurnOffYourTVYah, any day now North Korea, Myanmar, Syria, will all be singing kumbaya and tearing down their versions of the Berlin Wall. Any day now.... Is it just a coincidence that while the theory of Creation was being fully driven from the schools, the theory of Evolution was being integrated in to the full force that it is being taught today? It happened as a nice even, gradual, and seamless exchange. Quoting: TurnOffYourTVShoddy history. Here's a brief and slightly less shoddy one; Separation of Church and State -- in the Constitution (aka 1770's). Origin of the Species, 1890's. At the point there was not a distinct schism between Christian and Scientific world-view; it was all of a one as "Naturalism." Fundamentalist revival in the US goes back to about turn of the century, roughly 1910, making possible the Scopes trial in the 1920's. Fundies lurk in the shadows until courted by Republican party, leading to recent rise in power and recent challenging of texts that had been accepted since the 50's and 60's. Reaction to that rise, newly visible atheist community et al, dating back maybe ten years. Basically, Evolution has been part of science since a time when most religious had no more problem with it than the Pope does now. The change has been a recent rise of politically connected fundamentalists who tried to drive some elements of science from the classroom in a transparent attempt at proselytizing for their own, and were largely beaten back. Darwins's lies also fit the bill to get people questioning G-d. Could it be a means to start a One World Religion that focuses on the Earth and our selves...think about that one. Quoting: TurnOffYourTVDoes Evolution help this cause? Yes, it absolutely does. A G-dless Religion propagated to the masses. I've researched, there is no proof that we come from soup, monkeys, or fish, or whatever...None whatsoever. You've researched? It is to laugh. Show me the papers you've had published in Nature. Show me the fossils you've collected. Show me your genetic sequencer, and the samples you used of mitochondrial DNA. Heck...show me you can even tell your Cambrian from your Upper Cretaceous! Say, tell me where does the growing power of Muslim nations, or the rapidly increasing populations of Buddhists, fit in? Are they part of this Darwinian revolution you speak of, or are they part of the old guard of old, conservative religions? I think you turned off your TV too late. Billy Swaggart (or was it Ken Hamm?) already got to you. |
