Why Is There All of this Religious Zeal for Selling Evolution?
If a person were going to be an evolutionist, he or she must keep reworking the hypothesis to fit the unsupported assumptions upon which evolution is based, ever going further out on the limb. Evolution isn't science. An evolutionist must fall in love with the presuppositions of Humanism to be able to keep defending this unworkable, improbable hypothesis. This is not an intellectual problem. It is a spiritual problem.
"I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of the educational level preschool day care or large state university." The Humanist, January/February 1983, "A Religion for a New Age."
Any one of the flaws in the hypothesis of evolution is enough to invalidate it, but there are many more than a few flaws. Despite tremendous governmental financial backing, evolutionists have been unable to redesign the hypothesis to make it fit observable facts; yet this unworkable dogma is being taught as fact using tax dollars. Evolutionists stand defending evolutionism today like the scientific establishment of the not too distant past that defended the theory of the earth being the center of the universe.
As it became impossible to find a set of assumptions that could possibly explain the nonsense called evolution, evolutionists were forced to compartmentalize the parts of their theory into ever smaller chunks. They, in essence, created many mini theories. They sought a universal theorem, but they found that there was no way to avoid the fact that the precepts of Humanism could not be shown to be anything other than a nasty lie.
Since they loved the lie more than the Truth, they were forced to do some pretty crazy things to preserve the lie. Evolutionists were forced to create a different set of unproven axioms (rational-lie-zed speculations) for each of the many stories that they were telling. I use the word, stories, because it is a word that is used by the evolutionists themselves, and it shows the fairytale-like nature of the dogma. Each part of the evolutionary process became its own compartmentalized story with its own compartmentalized set of assumptions. None of the evolutionists seem to want to face reality. The assumptions of one evolutionary fairytale conflict with the assumptions of the other evolutionary fairytales, but they refuse to see this as a problem.
So, they tell a story about the so-called big-bang with one set of rational-lie-zed speculations. Then they talk about the spontaneous generation of life with another set of rational-lie-zed speculations. Just as the earth-is-the-center-of-the-universe scientists of long ago, they try to wind their listeners up in a web of complexity. An evolutionist needs to have a goodly amount of skill as a flimflam con artist . . . but, in each evolutionist's heart of hearts he or she knows that the whole theory doesn't make a bit of sense. They know that they are in denial. They don't want an almighty God to which they must answer. They don't want the Bible to be the Word of God. They want to do what they want to do.
Now you can see why evolutionists avoid a debate with creation scientists. If they do have a debate, the evolutionist wants to explain both sides of the debate. They want a mock debate. There have been some debates, though, and videos are available at DrDino.com
Remember the story about the emperor's new clothes? The con-artists got the king so worried that he might look stupid that he walked down the street naked. These con-artists also walked away with all the government money in the process and added nothing to solving any problems at all. The story fits like a glove. The con-artists of the New Age and Humanist religions are continually cheating all the people out of their hard-earned tax dollars. And the theory of evolution has solved no problems for all the money spent. It has solved nothing. None! It has caused problems.
Today, people who want to seem to be intellectual are very careful to kowtow to the precepts of the New Age and the Humanist Religion. They don't want to appear to be stupid. Of course, one of the main dogmas of Humanism is the dogma of evolution, so would be intellectuals support evolution at every opportunity. Most of them don't even understand the own theory. Most of them don't realize that they are saying, for instance, that random chance is adding to and organizing the information in a DNA molecule, which would violate the second law of thermodynamics. Most of them don't know that all their methods for guessing the age of an object are based on circular reasoning. Most of them don't know that the geologic column that exists in textbooks exists only in textbooks, and that the actual geologic column shows evidence for a worldwide flood rather than an old earth and evolution. Most of them don't know that the fossil evidence does not support the idea of evolution. Most of them don't know that species are simply a contrivance and cannot be used to prove anything, except that a wide variety of objects can be placed in some sort of order.
Most of them don't know . . . and those who do know don't care, because they think that there is no Truth. They believe in post-modernism. They believe that there are only winners and losers and there is no right or wrong.
