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

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...

"Sounds a lot like National Socialism to me... "

Ahhh, no. What I said was that it is inaccurate to try to tag evolution with ANY statements about how things began. It speaks only to the development of species(On the Origin of Species) and the human species in particular(The Descent of Man). You read the rest into it. If you want to compare the behaviour of the animal and plant kingdoms with National Socialism you are advised that I will not be participating in that exercise.

"So does intelligent design use natural selection or not?"

Intelligent design agrees wholeheartedly with the notion that dead things don't reproduce. ID'ers also generally agree that sick things don't reproduce as much.

If I were a troll from DU, I'd want to post threads like this on FreeRepublic. But if I cared about the reputation of FreeRepublic, this thread would be gone. Why does this thread continue to exist?

Because there is a large segment of the population who know that life originated from another intelligence.

It originated as an article from some blog, and the person who created the thread seems to flog the blog's URL with every post he makes.

Of course. He is the blogger. Too bad we don't follow our own rules.

" Okay, then what is the probability of dead matter becoming alive? Isn't that the premise of the origin of life in evolution?"

No, it isn't. But thanks for playing! :)

Okay let me answer it just to humor you at least.

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.

Okay the thing is I am an "evolutionist" yet I do not believe the above. I know quite a few people who are "evolutionists" but I know they also would not believe the above. That is because it is not evolution. The above is card thing is random spontaneous generation, which is not the same as evolution at all.

A better analogy to evolution would to have a population of 10 card decks on a table. Each of them are randomly shuffled. Now lay them out. None of them will be in perfect order, but some will be closer than others. Select the two decks with the highest number of cards in the right place. These two decks will survive to reproduce the next generation. Discard the rest of the decks (they die out)

The two selected decks are the "parents" of the next generation. For each of them, build 5 "child" decks whose orders are identical to that deck (ie they are clones of the parents).

Now for the random mutation part. For each of the 10 child decks consider each card at a time. Roll two dice for each card. If you get snake eyes then take that card and insert it in a random place in the pack.

The result is the next generation that has been produced through selection and mutation. None of the new generation decks will be in perfect order, but they will be closer than the decks in the last generation.

Generate the next generation by selecting the two best decks as parents and repeat the process.

Eventually (and it might take 100s of generations), you will reach a deck in a perfect order. This is a closer analogy to evolution, and it doesn't require zillions of tries like spontaneous random guessing. It is a far more efficient and fast algorithm.

PH: If I were a troll from DU, I'd want to post threads like this on FreeRepublic. ... . Why does this thread continue to exist?

DKC: Because there is a large segment of the population who know that life originated from another intelligence.

So let me get this straight. You think this thread needs to exist because you're a troll from DU.

What am I missing?

If evolution is true, Jesus was a liar and there's no point in being a Christian.

Luke 3:8 (King James Version) King James Version (KJV) "8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." Sounds like this was meant to be literal and that God is able to create whatever He pleases. Days in creation weren't doubtlessly not days as they are measured today.

I don't think Jews believe that literally any more, but I think some used to, the Adam and Eve story in Genesis, even though I know there are two versions.

If that makes me a fundamentalist kook, I don't care. I don't believe in evolution, and science will eventually hit a brick wall because there are no ethics underpinning it.

Well I guess John Paul II is in hell now. Cause the Catholic church disagrees.

My Grandmother didn't like Catholics either.

Hitler was a creationist, not an evolutionist. The case for the creationists keeps getting worser and worser.

In which parallel universe?

Evolution is theory built upon evidence.

That evidence is that all life, both flora and fauna, has DNA. DNA is the singularity of all life.

The “Big Bang” theory rests upon the assumption of a singularity, a point where all matter was concentrated to initiate the event.

Both the “Big Bang” and evolution theories are really inadvertent admissions by the scientific community that the universe and life are immaculate conceptions.

Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it...

woodb01 tells us that science is building a little wall around evolution to protect it, and you tell us that science is going to hit a brick wall. Could this be the same wall?

What on earth did I say that was anti-catholic other than using KJV? I could have used Douay-Rheims or other catholic bibles, but I'm more used to KJV.

That was John Paul II's personal opinion and nothing more, and I highly doubt he is in hell now.
