Darwin Worship Worse than Ever Imagined

March 3, 2021 | Jerry Bergman

A new book reveals the impact of Charles Darwin in unprecedented detail

by Jerry Bergman, PhD

A new book, Darwin: A Companion catalogues the true extent of Charles Darwin’s enormous impact over the past 160 years.[1] The book claims to be one of the most carefully researched studies of Darwin’s life and work ever published. A review boasts that over

one million sources were consulted in the research for this volume. The book contains over 7,000 entries on Darwin, his family, friends, colleagues, opponents, publications, manuscripts, finances, library and a host of other topics. No book has ever revealed so much new information about Darwin and his unparalleled worldwide impact.[2]

Not really. He presented a of of evidence for variation in species due to adaptation. The end results were still finches just as Great Danes and Chihuahuas are still dogs.

Did you read the article?

Hell no.
The hyperbolic title was sufficient.

I've no need of anyone's propaganda.

Is there a particular reason you didn't post the whole article?

If Evolution IS, what does it prove?
I suggest Evolution PROVES Intelligent Design.
In Darwin’s initial, unedited, autobiography, Darwin states his belief in a First Cause, a cause initiated by an intelligent mind much like the mind of mankind. Although he didn’t define the cause a God, he recognized its intelligence.

The idea comes before the investigation.

Wasn’t it Darwin who said that the archeological record would uncover millions of fossils as evidence of transitional species?

...which has never happened

How does the variation in the shape of finch beaks provide evidence that life first came from minerals, water, and static electricity? Darwin did not even see any significance in these finches until someone else pointed that out to him.

“Is there a particular reason you didn’t post the whole article?”

Hmmm, I guess it’s a habit.

I usually post an excerpt then post the link.... That’s what I assume FR prefers, due to it’s features.

“eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.” This theory may explain why men who believe they were born female need to transgender.

When you speak of the corruption of law, is that at all akin to the eclipse of Natural Law theory by legal positivism and legal realism?

I know that Darwinists and positivists were on the march in the late 19th century and had a sizable audience among the mega-industrialists and the old-money elites.

Their invasion of the legal field would have been an invasion indeed, since the country was far more given to self-identifying as a "Christian country," and corresponding to that, the law was understood to express a Christian metaphysics of mankind in the garden of good and evil.

Then, while the Taylorists were applying their mechanistic "weird science" to the new workplace of idealized human drones, the legal innovators of the time were disembodying the law from its hard-earned structural and philosophical underpinnings while they professed to admire it as a system of postulates that "worked well" (at least for those in power, whom Holmes regarded as the law's true source anyway).

Having said all that, given the Natural Law's metaphysics of good, evil, and the nature of man, I keep thinking we need a revival of Natural Law theory to rescue the law from the many soulless clinicians and fiery-minded revolutionists who rank among its custodians.

An aside: have you ever considered that those who mocked common laws as arbitrary (and so needing to be abandoned) could only offer in their place forms of laws that were and could only be by their very nature Arbitrary to their core?

Whatever their failings different common laws were generally received, they had a character unique to themselves that could only be altered by the Sovereign.

One of the brilliant achievements of our founding was to retain English Common Law (the free system of law mentioned in the DoI) but removed from the central government the full Sovereignty, as the Constitution is merely an enabling act and not what the Court has arrogated it to become.

A Law, whatever it’s strengths or defects, that is a particular thing and difficult to change except by extraordinary means (the amendment process) was an astounding achievement in (little “s”) secular governance.

At its inception ours was a nation where the government needed specific, enumerated permission to do anything and the people didn’t.

Now We the People need an endless array of licenses from some government to do anything while it does as the political elites please.

That transformation was not progress.

We are busy destroying civilization by grovelling before those who below an ouranutang.

Because women had smaller brains, Darwin believed them to be “eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.”
Hmm.

I'm not finding the flaw in his reasoning.
