The insistence on bring humans down to the level of the animal has been devastating. We now know that the 98%-99% claim of similarity between man and apes is a lie or in the kindest terms very misleading but it is still parroted on the media as if it is a fact. I’m not anti-evolution but I believe that it is clearly directed. The mechanisms of DNA and the biology of life on planet Earth is exceedingly complex and far more so than ever dreamed.
We now can decode more than just a section of one chromosome. We also know now that “Junk DNA” wasn’t really junk at all and that epigenetic’s plays a huge role in the expression of genes. We also know that the process that lead to the increased size of the human brain was not a slow process but indeed a rapid one involving many genes. Humans also have less Chromosomes than Apes. We have 46 total and Apes have 48. It appears one human chromosome merged.
Regardless of whether one believes in undirected evolution or intelligent design the increasing evidence shows a vast gulf between apes and human beings and pretending otherwise only feed very bad assumptions concerning social sciences, drug testing, etc.
This all has fed into an Misantropic principle which feeds the current radical environmental movement, the sexual “devolution”(not revolution), and much of the screwed up backward thinking of our current time. Humanity needs to look for higher ground not obsess on finding philology with the lesser species on this planet.
lepton, you may be interested in this long, thoughtful article.
That's the place where my BS meter pegged.
Yessirree, folks. As soon as we started having appendectomies and using the ee-lec-tronical telephone, we moved away from God.
I guess I missed the 8 am handbasket
Long read, but a good one. Politicians should have to sit in on this guys lectures!! We should replace diversity training with lectures from this man!
Not a good premise to blur distinctions between true science and "scientific materialism". True science, backed up by objective, traditional scientific methods and the laws of physics always come around as evidence of the truth of the Bible. This "scientific materialism" is just atheism with a pseudo-scientific cloak.
A good example of this pseudo-science is Darwinism and the discredited theory of evolution which has been thoroughly discredited and refuted by the application of objective scientific inquiry and the 2nd Law of Physics. The liberals teach it because the godless are not interested in the truth, but in predetermined "politically-correct" and philosophically humanistic results.
The article trips over its premise at the start.
I am sending this article to several scientists I know. We had one send us a proposal to develop a water allocation policy based purely on her scientific assessment of the county. She has absolutley no feel for the economic and social forces that forged waterlaw over the past century and a half. She has no feel for the cultural and economic human systems that grew up around them. To her, it is simply a matter of scientifc assessment driving policies.
We have another saying that the County shouldn’t be included on a Council that will allocate grant funding to fisheries restoration projects - just the agency and tribal “scientists.” What they have no appreciation for is that (1) we have local land use authority; (2) These are privately owned lands they are dealing with and without voluntary cooperation, they have no restoration program at all. This requires an understanding of law, local culture, economic and leadership structures, an understanding of how changes are introduced and an enormous issue of trust.
Their typical solution to implementation is to use force.
I find on the whole that. although scientists can provide usefull information on how biological and geological systems work, they are clueless to the fact that management occurs in the context of human systems.
Very true!
I AM TAGGING TO WATCH LATER. Oops caps was on!
btt
Nailed it.
BTTT
ping for later
You don't perhaps mean the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, do you?
And no, it does not refute the theory of evolution.
Perhaps you should learn a little science before you try to lecture folks on it, eh?
