“There are plenty of other unsayables in our thought-policed society. Human-made global warming, for example, is considered beyond challenge because the science of that theory is said to be “settled.” This is in fact anti-science dogma because nothing is ever settled in science, which is always open to fresh challenges.”
A quote attributable to Dr Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) East Anglia University a collaborator with Mann & Hansen. So one of the originals in the Global Warming Scam.
The quote:
“Why should I show my algorithms & data? All people will do is challenge & pick it apart!”
Aside: If anyone has it I would like to have the exact sourcing for that quote. I have been looking and haven’t found it yet. Someone else used it and I am taking it at face value. Yes always dangerous!
“The opposition between religion and science that is assumed to be fundamental by secular liberals is in fact foreign to Judaism. With so much of the Hebrew Bible interpreted over the centuries as allegory or metaphor, Judaism has never seen science as a threat.
The 12th-century Jewish sage Maimonides was the great exemplar of the belief that science and religion were complementary. He wrote that conflict between science and the Bible arose from either a lack of scientific knowledge or a defective understanding of the Bible.”
What most people miss with Darwinism is that it was never stated properly. Yes, there is survival of the fittest - but that is on the micro-evolutionary level. So, in a drought, the taller giraffes have more food to eat and they survive to pass on their genes, whereas the shorter giraffes don’t. This process repeats itself over time, resulting in very tall giraffes (and, yes, there are physical limits as to how tall they can get).
OTOH, Darwinism simply CANNOT explain how we went from inorganic matter to organic matter (Schroeder says that this is the single biggest leap of all - and that it simply could NOT have happened in multiple times the duration of the planet’s existence), nor how single-celled organisms somehow “evolved” into giraffes (or any other animal). That is the macro-evolutionary level, on which Darwinism utterly fails to explain anything - and it is the level that unfailingly (for those with open minds) points to a purposeful design.
Correct. Rigorous Darwinism does not attempt to explain that. It is a given.
Darwinism is all about the origin of species, it does not attempt to determine how life began.
It is secular atheists or agnostics that attempt to show the origin of life through chance. Many scientists believe in the broad theory of Darwinism and God. The two are not exclusive, as the article shows.
Darwinism starts when replicating life starts. Not before.
With all the paper printed on this subject, there is only one use for it.... no, not fishwrap!!
The only problem with any of the various theories of evolution is that real science doesn’t support any of them beyond the basics of survival of the fittest. It is a silly piece of sophomoric thinking that fails to provide any solid evidence for its claims.
