Is the Theory of Darwinian Evolution an established fact? I would wager that if such a question
were asked to the average citizen today, the citizen would most likely respond with a resounding
"yes". However, this state of affairs does not demonstrate the validity of the Theory
of Evolution, but rather betrays the propaganda machinations that have been working within
the educational system to condition and train the citizenry into this world-view. What the
Darwinian Theory of Evolution in fact amounts to is not 'science' at all, but in every fact
conceivable amounts to a vast modern, mythological etiology.
First, let us pose a simple question; a question that should be able to be answered simply
and in a straightforward manner if Darwinian Evolution is true: what scientific and reproducible
evidence exists that a human was born from a non-human or that a non-human was transformed
into a human? Or, to be more scientific and specific, perhaps one could say *** sapiens.
Very well then, here is a precisely stated definition of *** sapiens: "The modern species
of humans, the only extant species of the primate family Hominidae. By such a precisely
stated definition the law of excluded middle then applies to *** sapiens and non-***
sapiens. Now, the question is: Was a *** sapiens born from a non-*** sapiens, or did
a non-*** sapiens transform into a *** sapiens?
In a recent discussion among some atheists who were also evolutionists, the aforementioned
question was raised. It was an honest and legitimate question. Dr Thomas Warren first
raised the very same question to Dr Anthony Flew in their 1976 debate concerning the existence
of God. And as has already been stated, this question should present no difficulties at
all if Darwinian Evolution is true. However, in the course of the discussion with the evolutionists,
the question was dodged, ridiculed, slandered, scoffed at, and dismissed. Most acted as if
the question was not even worthy of receiving an answer. It appeared that within their view,
Evolution was so manifestly a fact, so utterly beyond reproach, so completely and scientifically
verifiable and demonstrable that to even ask such a question was to ask the absurd.
However, all through the course of the dialogue, the question was never answered. The question
was dodged. The question was skewed. One logical fallacy after the next was advanced toward
me (with argumentum ad hominem, and argumentum ad numerum not being the least of them). But
one thing is for certain, the question was never answered. What is most disturbing about
this is the state of mind that most of these evolutionists presented. It was a state of
mind that seemed unable to ponder on a logical proposition and question it based upon its
own merits. The conversation kept turning away from the question to either slander or
insult against my person, or simply some variation on the theme of appealing to authority, appealing
to the numbers, or consensus view among the scientific community. Yet there was no mental
connection that was apparent from their dialogues with me that recognized that they had a scholarly
obligation to answer the question.
What this shows, is that their modus operandi concerning matters of scientific learning
and scholarship depends far more upon the logical fallacies of playing the numbers game
and consensus view of the moment than it does on pondering the questions that must be pondered
and answered scientifically when approaching such questions as Evolution. With resolutely
staunch inattention and purposefully ignoring the question, the discussion finally ended
in the purest futility between all parties involved. And it is for this cause that I
am confident in saying that the current mind-set of the evolutionist and atheist is not one
of disinterested research into natural history, but rather a mind-set that is determined to
maintain and uphold a world-view that can only be described as a faith, dogma, and modern
mythology. In these articles, I wish to explore how evolution has turned from a hypothesis
concerning origins into the most insipid and fallacious dogmatic mythology today.
