““Why Evolution is True””
Haven’t read it. Don’t need to. The basic premise of the so-called theory of evolution that the most amazing machinery of life formed accidentally from a mud puddle and then proceeded to violate all laws of nature with which we are familiar and climbed the improbably steep hill of reverse-entropy as a consequence of the nascent life being bombarded by cosmic 20mm depleted uranium cannon shells is preposterous.
Certainly, a form of Darwinian evolution takes place, but that’s simply the biospheric equilibrium process I was referring to when a new generation of creatures are introduced. That form of Darwinian evolution merely brings to the forefront one of several pre-existing alternate minor variations already inherent in the creature and produces nothing new that wasn’t already there. Man can accelerate this process when he breeds multiple variations of animals from an existing one, such as the large variety of dogs that have been breed from the wolf. But nothing new genetically has been achieved, and this form of evolution has nothing to do with the creation of life nor is it even related to the process that produced dinosaurs from bacteria.
I seek the truth for myself, and I do not feel compelled to engage with those who believe differently than I do, and I certainly would never alter my own sense of the truth to please others via some bastardized “compromise”. The accident of life theory is absurd and I see no value in injecting absurdity in what I see as at least a rational theory, namely ID.
We’re very lucky that the many truth-seeking scientists of their day, such as Galileo, Louis Pasteur, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, Alfred Wegener, Antoine Lavoisier, and Robin Warren and Barry J., refused to “compromise” with the 99% of their peers who were flagrantly wrong.
Truth seeking isn’t about compromising, it’s about sifting through the available knowledge and applying reasoning to discard the obvious BS and figuring out what is most likely from the rest.
