That’s kind of the point I was making, that the hubris, if you will, of Science started with Newton, not Darwin. Halley was accused of “irreligion” but he followed convention in these matters, at least. Of coursed Newton was very pious, but also very heterodox in his beliefs, not to say kooky.

By 1741, the Royal Society was a den of mockers led by an outspoken unbeliever, according to the account of one William Stukey, who stated that the Society president was “an errant infidel and loud scoffer.”

Yes !

Thanks for saying what you posted.

That whole era, its intellectual elites - were all in bed with the political and business/finance elites. In essence, the intellectuals were all working in various capacities for the top firms of the day or top universities, which were also under the influence of the same people, since the head of government was as were much of the religious leadership, and they dictated what was ok and not ok in universities.

So... if you’re an intellectual back then in the UK and you come up with stuff the bankers like, you’re welcomed into their circles and taken care of with pay and pension - your career takes off, you have the freedom to work on all your exciting projects. On the other hand, if they have no use for your projects, or don’t like your views... no job at East India Company, no teaching position at the university, no published works, the “word spreads” that you’re “anti-modernity” or something, etc.

The financial elites then were the direct forebearers of the elite globalists that we see today; it goes back before the Rothschilds were players. Other similar families were the power bankers then, but the modus operandi was the same. Get the king in your back pocket by helping him with inside espionage information, financial and scientific acumen, arranging for the king to borrow fat sums, expertise in international trade, war, diplomacy, put the locals to work in your factories, trade in slaves, gold, opium, spices, textiles, get the local aristocracy and the crown to invest in all your ventures, etc.

The financial elites wind up being at the center of everything, in a position to control all matters of significance. Where are the jobs, what does food cost, what laws are passed, when do we go to war, etc.

I try to get folks on FR to see that our American elites today in finance, education, government, law, etc., are all sprouted from roots in the UK in those days, that is, THAT is why America is in the state it is in.

That’s the actual “special relationship” our government heads talk about the US having with the UK.

Yes, the financial elites, and by extension all their “minions” / intellectuals, are not true believers in anything but their own power; and that’s their “religion”. Same goes for today. Which is why “conservative” politicians simply parrot the lines they are fed the same way “liberal” politicians do - they both work for the same people. As does the leadership of the top universities. Intellectuals are STILL - after several centuries - still simply functioning as scribblers for their financial elite lords, coming up with theories that their lords, uh, suggest as perhaps interesting directions of study. Number one rule for them: keep working at undermining Christianity, even if only one tiny step at a time, even in the most indirect way. ABC - anything BUT Christ. Then, don’t ever undermine the Sales of the elites’ favorite industries like medical, defense, energy, etc. Don’t think your 5 cent cancer cure that actually works is ever going to make it to market, etc. Your science has to be able to be used to suck enormous sums of cash out of the sheeple, either directly as products or services (preferably produced in a poor country and consumed in a wealthy country), or through the government spending on products or services and of course the sheeple paying the bill. Any research that is sick, twisted, warped - the elites love it and it will “find” plenty of funding. The “medicine” that slowly kills over 10-20 years, that’s the “goldmine”; help the patient “live” with their condition. We’ll work on “cures” down the road. Always “in the future”. Never time or money to work on a real understanding and cure today, even if those idiots wearing t-shirts going on walks walk around the world and back, the “donation” money simply allows for-profit research companies to increase their profits (what a slick idea).

This globalist cabal (lol) “does not exist” yet most people adhere to their directives in lock step, and most people don’t even realize that they are.
