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 evolution 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...

Is he any relation to Malcom Wallop?
So either evolution is false, or the Newton's laws, etc., are false.
It's the beginning of the Intelligent Design Inquisition. No one expected this.
Whoever wrote it needs to go back to school. Or maybe he hasn't got there yet.
Or maybe just occupied space in a school for awhile, like desks do.
God failed to make perfect life. Therefore God is imperfect.
Is the grammar school serving Holy Communion again?
No, but some will soon be reaffirming Genesis though.
When Christians stop speaking out on issues relative to society, culture, and government then the challenges will cease because they'll just disappear into the mire.
There are plenty of cultural issues that Christians can, and should, get involved with. But making Christians, and conservatives, look like idiots with Santa Claus versions of science is not one of those.
Whether you like it or not, not all Christians agree that evolution is false. This is a religious dogma fight taking place in courtrooms and politics. It will do nothing but damage for both Christians and conservatives and their ability to get real change accomplished.
Let me put it another way: When Christians are effectively silenced in the public arena, then you'll be happy.
When Christians stop interfering in science and science education, then I'll be happy. Many other things they do I approve of wholeheartedly.
Evolution is not science, because it can not be tested, verified, and there are no “false results.”
Fossil evidence that human beings were contemporaneous with T-Rex would certainly be a "false result" that would cause the TOE major problems.
But then, don't let logic get in the way of your fantasy and ruin the buzz.
ROFLOL. Thanks. You made my day.
I appreciate the link and the smile that came with it, but, unfortunately, it's not really funny.
What's tongue in cheek often has the unfortunate tendency to show up later as gospel.
"Evolution’s basic premise is that all “life” on the planet miraculously “emerged” through a bunch of accidents."
Since this is untrue and neither Darwin nor educators today have anything to say about origins of life based on Darwins teaching, everything else this person has to say is suspect. Natural selection is an established fact and can be readily observed in nature over as little as a few generations.
It’s funny because it hits the nail absolutely square on the head :o)

Like bad SNL skits, right.
Religion's basic premise is that all "life" on the planet miraculously "emerged" through a few waves of a magic wand.
Sounds about equally stupid, I think.
"how does an "accident" suddenly develop a detailed system for a very SPECIFIC purpose"
That's not what evolution requires. Things like eyes evolved over hundreds of millions of generations. Under evolutions you get small changes over many generations that gradually add up to very complex systems.
Does the end product look more like an accident or an artifact?
Exhibit A - The Elephant Man.
LOL! Are you a drama queen?
I'd like to know the inputs into the formula for how the author calculated the odds of this happening. I won't hold my breath waiting to know. I never got past this tidbit.
For once, I'd like to read a pro-ID article from someone that actually understands science and evolution.
LOL! Are you a drama queen?
No. Just a Neo-Nazi.
All humor has to have a bit of truth in it.
This does.
If it's about evangelism, then it's about the Church of Evolution having a proselytizing monopoly.
