The Cult of Evolution – the Opiate of the Atheists
evolution is based on superstitious religious secular fundamentalism

for the week of August 15, 2005 - NoDNC.com staff

(New Discussion thread, membership is free but required)

Evolution’s basic premise is that all “life” on the planet miraculously “emerged” through a bunch of accidents.  Current evolution teaches that “natural selection” is how we continue to “evolve.” 

Unfortunately for evolutionists their recent beliefs have been challenged on interesting grounds.  A new theory has come about to challenge the blind faith orthodoxy of the evolutionists, that theory is intelligent design. 

Think of it like this, evolution believe that if you have a deck of 52 cards and two jokers, and then shuffle the deck thoroughly, and throw the entire deck up in the air as high as you can, that eventually all of the cards will land, in perfect order, and perfectly aligned.  The probability of this even happening one time in a billion years approaches zero.  Then, to believe evolutionary "theory," you have to accept on blind faith that this same miracle of perfect order from total chaos has repeated itself millions of times to account for each of the plants, animals, and life on earth.  We'll leave it there for now.  It gets a WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLICATED for the evolutionary cult.  On the other hand, intelligent design says that after the evolutionist throws the cards up in the air and makes a mess, the intelligent designer comes along and carefully picks up each card and stacks them all up together, in sequence, and properly aligned.

Stepping back from evolution long enough to use critical thinking skills not taught much in public education these days, it becomes quickly apparent that evolution is nothing but a silly religious belief – a type of “secular fundamentalism” – demanding cult-like superstitious faith in the impossible.  If I have your attention, let’s take a careful look at what evolution requires us to accept on complete blind faith:

These are just a few of the major problems for the cult of evolution.  They are certainly not the least of the problems.  For example, under the “accidents” of evolution, where do emotions come from?  Where does instinct come from?  Why do humans have the ability to reason and understand right from wrong?  And the list goes on.  None of these innate characteristics can be explained by evolution.

Evolution is not science, because it can not be tested, verified, and there are no “false results.”  The only “false result” to evolution is Intelligent Design (ID) because the theory of ID proves that evolution is false and therefore evolution adherents attack ID proposals with zealous fundamentalism.

Has anyone ever seen how zealously these evolutionary “secular fundamentalists” irrationally attack competing theories without answering the underlying problems with their beliefs? 

Evolutionists routinely dodge issues like the origins of the universe because they know that if you stop and think hard about these issues, evolution falls apart as nothing but a widely held religious belief.  If you can't explain where the raw material for the inputs to the "evolutionary process" come from, then you have no process.  If you can't tell me how life started, and where its components came from, what the specific components were, what specific “accident” created “life,” then you have no process, only religious belief.

When you refuse to evaluate the inputs to a process, you have an incomplete process, it is unverifiable, and therefore un-provable, un-knowable, and an un-testable theory from a scientific perspective.  You MUST at that point insert your suppositions and BELIEFS (i.e. secular fundamentalist religious beliefs) into the process.  This is where it is no longer science, but superstition and blind religious faith.

It is understandable evolutionists would avoid many of these difficult questions because it exposes the preposterous "blind faith" required to accept evolution.

The cult of e
volution is the opiate for the atheists. 

Evolution is an atheist’s way to excuse their denial and rejection of god, it is their religion.  To the degree that evolutionists dodge the difficult questions, like the origins of life's raw materials, how the five senses came about (how did one-celled organisms get the "idea" that “senses” were even needed?), how or why or where emotions come from, or a whole host of other questions, proves that it is not science, but secular fundamentalism.  To the extent that evolutionists challenge competing theories such as Intelligent Design rather than answering the difficult questions or admitting that their “theory” has holes, it is not a scientific theory subject to the scientific process, but a cult based on zealous secular fundamentalism.

And on one hand, evolutionists expect you to believe that through a bunch of "accidents" life happened and "evolved" and then later, just the OPPOSITE takes place in the form of "natural selection."  In other words, the "accidents" of life lead to deliberate selection.  Under "natural selection" the "great god of evolution" decides who is the strongest and smartest and everyone else must be subjected to the superior race.  Sounds a lot like what Hitler's National SOCIALISTS believed to me.

No amount of proving atheism, er, I mean evolution wrong will ever satisfy the secular fundamentalist religious cult of evolution.  Even when those who support the theory of Intelligent Design are willing to engage in a dialog on the issue, the secular fundamentalists come out of the woodwork and shriek from the high heavens about how they refuse to prove one iota of their religious philosophy, but demand that ANYTHING that dares challenge their orthodoxy must be proven beyond any doubt.  This is the essence of religious zealotry and blind religious fundamentalism--, it is the opiate of the atheists...

If those who adhere to evolution are genuinely interested in science, then they must evaluate the whole process, and if the inputs to that process, or many of its components such as the senses or emotions do not support the process then they must reject that theory (evolution) as unworkable.  To do anything less is no longer science.  But then again, evolutionists are not really interested in science.

Call me weak minded but I just don't have the blind, zealous, fundamentalist faith to believe that nothing created everything (the "Big Bang") and that life just spontaneously erupted from rocks, water, and a few base chemicals (evolution) through a bunch of "weird science" accidents.  Step back, stop and actually THINK about the leaps of un-provable, totally blind-faith that evolution requires and unless you're one of its religious zealots, you too will reach the conclusion that evolution is a FRAUD!

Evolution, the opiate for atheists and the biggest hoax and fraud ever perpetrated on the Western World in History...

Any reliance on probabilities to dispute evolution is deeply flawed. We know of one planet/moon in the universe with life on it. We don’t (yet?) know of any others, but we do know of other planets in the universe, and not just in our solar system. But we haven’t even closely examined the nearest one with any atmosphere to speak of. So how can anyone come up with any real idea of the probability of life happening?

That's an explanation I hadn't thought of.

Something strange there, anyway.

I'm off to work. Developing today, among other things, a popular presentation on the evolution of autumn leaf coloration and fall.

Wouldn't it be fascinating to hear what Steven Jay Gould or Julian Huxley or even ol' Charles Darwin have to say about evolution now?

I figure they'd say, "looks like we were right about that evolution thing".

Let me attempt to intrigue you by this very child-ish thought: Can you fathom the limit of the universe? I mean, can you think of how the end of the universe will look like? Will it be a wall? If then, shouldn't something lie beyond it, be it even more wall? Isn't the very idea of an infinite universe unimanginable by the human mind? I mean, how do you have a volume without a limit? How does t universe stretch forever? What lies at the end of forever? Perhaps more 'forever'?

In other words, I don't know, and no one can really satisfy this question of yours. So to prevent himself from going crazy, man planted the idea of religion.

It's a consequence of the math. I'm sure I can solicit some textbook recommendations if you like.

No textbook (math or physics or any science), or scientific theory can prove or even hint at the true beginnings of the universe. What we all read and hear about are theories and speculations and guesses. Until observations are made of the prer-BigBang universe, everything is a theory and the math and science are just guesses about what was before the so-called Big Bang.

I don't go by what people say; I go by what they do.
Too many of the self-identified Christians I see on these threads are dishonest, use epithets in describing those with different views, and, most shocking to me, one even boasted about shaking the faith of someone else. Yes, I'd ping them if I remembered who. Maybe someone can remind me.

I'll judge people on this forum by what they write. Please supply this "boasting" post you mention.

Lets make sure what you say isnt a biased opinion.

Most of us know about Narby's loss of faith. He cant go a day without mentioning it.

There is only one excuse for entering the gates of Heavan...blaming your loss of faith on others isnt one of them.

if scientists created life through their controlled and contrived means, it would only serve to PROVE intelligent design.
In other words, intelligent design is unfalsifiable, and thus isn't science. QED




You so seem to misunderstand the idea of falsifiability, and why the evolutionists are so terrified. You see, proving evolution would falsify ID. In turn, the terror for evolutionists is that ID falsifies evolution.

The idea of "falsification" is one of those little issues of "proof" and that for a theory to be valid, there must also be invalid answers. Or in other words, proving evolution true would demonstrate that ID is not true, hence it is falsifiable. On the other hand, proving ID true, then evolution fails. THAT is the terror of evolutionists. Their religion is falling apart because the evidence of intelligent design is slowly mounting, the majority of support for evolution comes mostly from the ignorant who do not take the time to THINK THROUGH how silly evolution really is.

Evolutionists have built little "walls" around many of the things that destroy their precisou religious belief because it is a house of cards that is collapsing.

Evolution is no longer tenable, it is junk science or science fraud! As it is challenged, it is protected with almost fanatically zealous adherence by those who see their opiate fading...

Evolution is the opiate of the atheists. That is all it is and all it will ever be. It is an unsustainable secular fundamentalist religious belief.

I don't know the exact probability of whether I may grow wings tomorrow either, but I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know it is not likely to happen, just as it is not likely for matter to just evolve into a person.

Science is not perfect, and it often gets the wrong answer.

Again, what is your suggestion for a better means of gaining knowledge of the world?

Even the scientific method assumes that any answer or theory may be overturned by later findings, etc.

Yes, one of the positive features of the scientific method is that science it is capable of self-correction.

Science is capable of the wrong answer, which you euphemistically call "self correction." I don't have a better method, but I can spot when a method is flawed, and to suggest that "science" is somehow the last word on a theory or guess is just ignorant.

What we all read and hear about are theories and speculations and guesses.

Speculations and guesses alright, but well-thought out, and mathematically arrived conclusions, the best answers we'll have until futher analyses are made. At one time, nuclear energy was a speculation. "Jewish" science the Nazis called it.

Intelligent Design is the only scientific theory that makes sense.
ID isn't a scientific theory.

If you disagree, please offer some testable hypotheses made by ID.




Testable hypothesis #1 - IF ID is true, evolution is FALSE!
Testable hypothesis #2 - Evolution is not reproducible, ID is (pick up the deck of cards and arrange them, as many times as you like, and in the sequence that YOU desire!).
Testable hypothesis #3 - The drug companies "reproduce" lots of ranges of emotion through intelligent design and have already succeeded in proving an emotional connection to design.
Testable hypotheseis #4 - Cloning has already proven that small segments of complex organisms can be reproduced through the INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED process of cloning.

And the list goes on. There is so much OBSERVABLE PROOF for Intelligent Design that it is astounding. If people actually STOP AND THINK about it, there is LOTS of proof, however, evolution is a cute grade school theory that is actually the opiate for the atheists!

The theory of evolution doesn’t remotely suggest that you’d grow wings tomorrow. Life's been around along time you know. Lots can happen in a few billion years.

That is just another way of saying science does not know the answer yet. It is still just a best guess based on imperfect information.

"Or in other words, proving evolution true would demonstrate that ID is not true, hence it is falsifiable. On the other hand, proving ID true, then evolution fails. THAT is the terror of evolutionists."

NO theory has ever been proved true, as has been repeatedly been pointed out to you, so this example is junk.

As for a scientist creating life in the lab, it would only show he created life in a lab.

The hypothesis of ID is about the development of life on earth. NO evolutionary biologist is arguing that intelligence doesn't exist, or that intelligent beings (humans) can't design something. That doesn't in ANY mean that therefore an intelligent designer directed the history of life on earth. They have nothing to do with each other.

"Evolution is no longer tenable, it is junk science or science fraud! As it is challenged, it is protected with almost fanatically zealous adherence by those who see their opiate fading..."

That would be Creationism, not evolution.

Yes, but consistently and actively revised information at that. The best answers we can ever have, until futher, ongoing improvement.
