Coulter exposes liberals' 'Godless religion'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | May 24, 2006

Posted on 05/24/2006 2:21:50 PM PDT by Conservative Coulter Fan


Set to launch on 6-6-06, best-selling author Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the "Church of Liberalism" in her latest and most controversial book to date.

"If a Martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law," Coulter writes in "Godless: The Church of Liberalism."

The WND columnist argues that while many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: Liberalism is a religion—a godless one.

"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion," she writes.

"Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'"

Chapter headings in Coulter's "Godless" include "On the Seventh Day, God Rested and Liberals Schemed" and "Liberals' Doctrine of Infallibility: Sobbing Hysterical Women" and "The Holiest Sacrament: Abortion."

Coulter is the author of four New York Times bestsellers: "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," "Treason," "Slander," and "High Crimes and Misdemeanors."

In her new book, available now through the WND Book Service at a discount of 32 percent, Coulter takes on what she calls the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: It is bogus science.

Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called "gaps" in the theory of evolution are all there is – Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?

Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.

A lot of conservatives have no problem with evolutionary theory. I have no idea what the percentage is, but it certainly is not small.

Can you pick out the nit wit?

Just one guess is allowed!

You obviously like Coulter a lot. She is amusing and sometimes funny but I don't see how anyone could take her seriously. She is too over the top for me.

It really depends on what you mean by conservative...and I'll acknowledge that a percentage do believe in evolution just like they would a religion...we witnessed that here at FR on my other thread regarding Coulter's book. I was unable to get a detailed account of how one species evolves into an entirely new, more complex, and different species just like the ultimate conception that life began like Frankenstein...an body of water that they call primodial soup with amino acids...a little bit of lightinging...and poof, a single cell organism.

I don't see how you can't take her seriously unless you prefer more dull, consesus-orientated party politics.

I'm sure this will turn into a monster thread debating evolutionary theory, but all I'm saying is that many conservatives accept evolution.

Coulter and others lose me when she brands my acceptance of evolutionary theory as a denial of God.

I count myself among those who believe the evidence of natural selection. If you believe that some traits are heritable, then it defies common sense to think that it does not take place.

It has been demonstrated in the lab, and in nature. But there is not a complete fossil record for every species, nor for man.

Given the complexity and diversity of all those species that have apparently been generated via natural selection, I see no reason to doubt that man is different. When I hear hoofbeats, I think "horses", not "zebras."

Evolution and belief in God are perfectly reconcilable unless you're a fundamentalist. I didn't know that Coulter was.

Natural selection. Heritable mutation occurs that is advantageous, and gets passed on more readily than the rest of the population.

>>...an body of water that they call primodial soup with amino acids...a little bit of lightinging...and poof, a single cell organism.

Room for miracles there, no doubt. But Bryson covers the current state of science well on that issue (and many others - I highly recommend the book) in "A Short History of Nearly Everything."

Macro-evolution, the concept that one species can evolve into a higher and more complex species, is not "reconcilable" with Judaism or Christianity. You either believe God created earth and man or you believe that lightning struck a primoridal soup and defied biogenesis by creating life from non-living matter...the single cell organism that would go onto to "evolve" into multi-cellular organism that would after millions of years produce man. I'm sorry, but you can't have it both ways.

Okay, I'll entertain, explain to me, specifically with elaboration, the process that takes places within a species, that produces a new, and entirely different species more complex than it's own.

Why? Why couln't a being as all powerful as the Judeo/Christian God use a natural process like evolution?

So what in this new thread provides more information than the previous one?
