So now the Evolution Doctrine is followed by the Star Children precept.

the leftarded Humanist Religion is basically the same as scientology, but just with a better-researched plotline.

It's a religion, and it must not be tax funded.

Actually most of the “Star Children” philosophy that I have encounted is backed by intelligent design theory, not Darwinism. New Agers don’t believe in random genetic mutation, they just don’t go with Yahweh (or Elohim) as the designer.

I fail to see the link between globalism and a predatorial based universe under Darwin.

How about adding to Darwin? How about truth?

No, Darwinism seem to arrogantly supplant it all, it’s your one stop science shop.

Krause:
Accordingly, the two discoveries we herald this year carry an important message for our future: the intimate connections between humanity and the entire cosmos, as illustrated by both evolution and astronomy, suggest that the only sensible perspective of humanity is a global one. The need for a global perspective is of vital importance now, as we are the first generation in history that must seriously confront global limits to our future on Earth, from energy to climate change.

This strikes me as a totalitarian mindset. If you don’t have the right global perspective, you are simply wrong, and may not deserve any rights. It brings to mind the Star Trek movie with the Borgs, the cyber-people who physically connected to the collective. A related idea is communism, otherwise known as international socialism. Edward O. Wilson may be the world's foremost expert on ants. Once asked about communism, he replied “wrong species.” But once we accept that “the only sensible perspective is a global one,” we will have set the foundation for a world where humanity takes central direction, as with an ant colony or a bee hive. Many of us are convinced this is wrong. But what is the source of our conviction? It is our values. But how did we get our values? I think the historical answer is Judeo Christian thinking that links the individual to God.

CFH response to Krause:
Christians might call this a non-sequitur or a half-truth. They do not deny our connectedness, but explain it in terms of all creation (stars and humans) being the handiwork of a single Creator. And instead of seeing a global perspective as the only sensible option for humanity, they might take the very same observations and point out the duty of each individual to its Maker.

In other words, to better contrast with Krause, the only sensible perspective is that of the individual to his Maker.

[Buck W.]

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.
