Evolution: A moral poison, and intolerant cult
Date published: 6/3/2007
A religious cult that requires human sacrifice is behind the Virginia Tech murder spree. Like all cults, it demands unquestioning loyalty of its followers. There is no room for discussion of other ideas, even though its own "holy books" must be revised every few years because the old ones are proved wrong.
This religion is evolution. It uses bad science to promote its goals. There is only hypothesis and speculation that relies on wildly interpreted fossil and mineral evidence. It says man is simply another animal that through random chance and freak mutations has moved to the top of the food chain.
The "microbes to man" theory of evolution is based on survival of the fittest. The traits of the most fit animals produce more animals with those traits, while the weaker animals are weeded out, leaving only the best to survive.
Another tenet of this cult is moral relativism. They believe there is no absolute truth or source of right and wrong. Each person must determine what is right or wrong for himself. Our schools teach this every day.
Now we have millions of people who believe that humans are just another animal. When one of these believers has a weapon, he is the "fittest" animal in most situations. Couple this with the belief in moral relativism where only that person can decide what is right and wrong for himself, and we have a prescription for mayhem.
Evil is a real agent in this world even though many deny it exists. Evil will use the members of this religious cult every time it can.
Some ask how can there be a loving God if tragedies like the one at Virginia Tech are allowed to occur. A better question might be how many more of these cult members would have committed mass murder if a loving God was not at work in this world?

The "Cambrian Explosion" took about 30 million years. Not so sudden as CaptainObvious would have us believe.
Amen to that.

Knowing computers, I am amazed at the complexity of our world. One human cell has a mega city inside with billions of MicroMachines, Irreducibly Complex. And the universe is rare, by unbelievable odds it's severely FineTuned. How much more rare is earth? Turns out very much! Billions of sequenced events, riding extremely FineTuned laws. These odds can only be imagined! Here's one way, Imagine a Tape Measure 15 billion light years long, The Universe is FineTuned to 1/32 inch. Now Move 1/32 and NO Earth
Bible literalism threatens pursuit of science

Wikipedia "Galileo" following "church controversy" link. Bible literalism vs Galileo problem was this: Psalm 104:5 and Ecclesiastes 1:5. Remember this next time you use GPS in your car,or phone trans-atlantic. To describe how the world works I can either follow the Bible (written + translated in parts) hundreds of years after events or I can watch a living scientist progress his work checking it against real world observation. Re: eye witnesses, try recalling a Disciple for cross examination.
Scientific illiteracy in the US...sad!

The author doesn't know the difference between hypothesis and theory and claims that evolution is based on "random chance and freak mutations". All poppycock and merely illustrates the author's dearth of knowledge on the subject.
He also conflates evolution with moral relativism. Evolution is science and as such makes no comments about morality other than a moral bearing is likely itself a result of natural selection.
Apparently Spotsylvania hasn't come very far since it last made the news in 1864.
Well golly, I'm convinced!

This is sooooo cool. Evolution, which is a natural phenomena, is a religion! I had no idea! Since humanity did in fact evolve, and since I'm a human, does that mean I may file for tax exemption status? I am going to send a letter to the IRS and demand tax exemption status, and send this clown's letter as proof because it is so packed full of evidence supporting his contention.
Oh, wait a minite. No, it isn't. Damn.
