The Myth of Our Culture |
"Darwinian theory is the creation myth of our culture. It's the officially
sponsored, government financed creation myth that the public is supposed
to believe in, and that creates the evolutionary scientists as the priesthood...
So we have the priesthood of naturalism, which has great cultural authority,
and of course has to protect its mystery that gives it that authority---that's
why they're so vicious towards critics."
-- Phillip Johnson, On the PBS documentary
"In the Beginning: The Creationist Controversy"

err no .... Johnson has absolutely no credentials that make him
qualified to talk with any authority on Evolution ..... and he is a

People who construct alternative realities to the real one in order to
sustain their belief systems are underlining the absolute lack of
credibility for those beliefs.
That's all that really needs to be said about creationism and its need
to establish a mystical counter-reality.

A theory that is profoundly unique to all other previous
speculations on our origins. A theory based on literally millions of
independent pieces of supporting evidence. A theory that currently is
overwhelmingly supported by the most intelligent and most highly
educated men and women in the history of humankind. A theory that
makes correct predictions about life on earth in a way that leaves any
intelligent, educated person awe struck. A theory that is so
overwhelmingly complete that it is a severe slap in the face to those
who cling to the primitive and puerile magical fairyland view that we
were conjured into existence by an utterly imperceptible magic king.

No, the evidence rather exposes your theory as a hoax.
A theory that currently is
overwhelmingly supported by the most intelligent and most highly
educated men and women in the history of humankind.
Although intelligent and educated, they lack wisdom to embrace a myth
which is unworkable through proven genetic and biologic processes.
A theory that
makes correct predictions about life on earth in a way that leaves any

But that part of the theory is not what is debated.
A theory that is so

You may believe it is overwhelmingly complete, yet it is the creation myth
of our culture. It is in fact a false religion complete with a priesthood and
a gullible laity.

Walt Smith
1. Unobserved
Pepper moths.
Bacteria becoming immune to antibiotics.
Mosquitos becoming resistant to DDT.
Yeast in lab developing lactase.
Breeding farm animals.
2. Unrepeatable
I'm sorry; you can't look at a fossil?
Reapeatability just means that the observation of facts are repeatable.
No one expects a volcano or nova or earthquake to be reapeatable on
demand. But the data must be observable by numerous people; the
measurements and footprints and such must be seeable by all, or there
is the danger of misunderstanding or fraud or illusions.
The *data is there for all to see.
Like history.
Like astronomy.
Like geology.
The *events are not repeatable; the observations are.
Miracles, OTOH, are not repeatable. Perhaps they happen <shrug>.
3. Unfeasible
In what way? Are not genetic traits inheritable? Are there not
mutations? Are there not differential rates of repreoductive success?
What, exactly, is unfeasible, and why?
4. Infeasible
# adjective: not capable of being carried out or put into practice
? could you be more specific?
5. Unreasonable
You have to actually read a book or two. They needn't be long, but
Chick comics, I'm afraid, won't do.
6. Unscientific
Evolutionary mainstream theory fits the data. It has made successful
predictions. It is falsifiable, but not yet falsified. A convergence of
data from numerous scientific fields makes it the best-supported theory
we have, in any area of human investigation.
This is in contrast to Creationism (by any name), which fits the data,
but also fits and *conceivable data. To the degree to which it is
falsifiable it has been falsified, and the degree to which it is not,
it is not science. It also has made no successful predictions. Ergo,
Creationism (while philosophically possible), is not science.
& 7. Impossible
?
Please explain in what way common descent, modified through natural
selection, sexual selection, genetic drift, and possible other
mechanisms is impossible. Offer either data or a reasoned defense for
this assertion.
Please note that the data supporting evolutionary science includes, but
is not limited to:
the twin nested hiearchies of morphology and genetics,
the geological strata: the ordering of the fossils;
the lack of any structure which is not explanable as a modified
precursor,
animal behavior,
and
history and cultural anthropology.
I note that single word adjectives are rather weak arguments. Do you
have any actual sentences? Data would be truly impressive, but I'm not
expecting miracles here ;)

Out of a possible score of 100% you obrttained a score of 0%
Let's just go with answer number six and seven.
ALL of science says evolution is a theory.
Almost all of science benefits from the application of this theory.
What is a theory? You will have to explain this before we can move on.
There's no point asking you to run if you can't walk.
Since I've never heard a non theist say it is impossible, please tell me why
you think your god or gods could not have implimented evolution exactly as
the theory states?

A theory that is profoundly unique to all other previous
speculations on our origins. A theory based on literally millions of
independent pieces of supporting evidence.
No, the evidence rather exposes your theory as a hoax.
Evidence like...?
A theory that currently is
overwhelmingly supported by the most intelligent and most highly
educated men and women in the history of humankind.
Although intelligent and educated, they lack wisdom to embrace a myth
which is unworkable through proven genetic and biologic processes.
And those processes are...?
A theory that
makes correct predictions about life on earth in a way that leaves
any intelligent, educated person awe struck.
But that part of the theory is not what is debated.
Making testable predictions is a *vital* piece of *any* scientific
theory. How can you debate a theory without discussing its
predictions?
A theory that is so
overwhelmingly complete that it is a severe slap in the face to those
who cling to the primitive and puerile magical fairyland view that we
were conjured into existence by an utterly imperceptible magic king.
You may believe it is overwhelmingly complete, yet it is the creation
myth
of our culture. It is in fact a false religion complete with a
priesthood and a gullible laity.
So all of medicine -- all of *biology* -- is a myth. What's next?
Chemistry?

No, they're "vicious" (I wish!) against pathological liars like Phillip
Johnson who are only concerned about politics, not science.
