And 90% of them wonder how a bass player can get music out of a fish.

That’s because alot of what poses as science today is actually secular religion, and the State is a very jealous god.

The Creation
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

And as a result of this wonderment - science was born.

One standard for good science is usefulness. Even if Darwinism stumbles in explaining physical phenomenon, it has already contributed vital social and political apologetics. Darwin’s life on PBS explained his important contributions to predatory nationalism, capitalism and socialism.

Tyrants always require philosophical justification to convince masses to surrender freedom to them and do their bidding. Lenin combined Marx and Darwin to prove the working class would rise to dominate the society, so his revolution was a natural, progressive, inevitable event. Hitler combined Nietzsche, Darwin and others to prove the Nordic race superior to all others, especially the Jewish and Slavic peoples from whom Germans would take land. John D. Rockefeller and other robber barons looked to Darwin and Adam Smith for the justification for predatory to use their wealth and power.

In each case the outcome was entirely proper, because power was the natural condition and damage to other humans was a natural outcome. About any religion or philosophy can be backwards engineered into reasons for a tyrants reign. Darwinism has such a pernicious utility, because it can be appended to any philosophy or religion. Treated as a catalyst, the tyrant’s priest or lawyer can backwards engineer an amalgam creating a logic justifying the superiority of his position.
