Again with the Darwinism

People of one race have a tendency to think their race is better than anyone else's - especially if they're isolated and don't meet a lot of other races. So, if you look at history, you'll see the Japanese think they're better than Korea and China, China thought they were better than everyone, English despised the French, Africans of one tribe despised Africans of other tribes.

And people take the writings of authors and interpret them the way they want.

So people have blamed RIchard Wagner's operas for the rise of Nazism - despite the fact that Wagner was dead long before Hitler came to power.

In the same way. people like to blame Darwin because people in powerful western countries seized on his "survival of the fittest" comment - to expand and take over countries who had spears to their rifles. If Darwin hadn't put that sentence, that conclusion, into his book, would those powerful countries not have attempted to colonize the rest of the world? I think not. Anymore than the rest of the world would have attempted to colonize them, if it had been they who'd had the proper technology. That's human nature for you.

Rush said this on Friday:

As far as I'm concerned Darwin is corrupt and everybody that believes in Darwinism is corrupt and they present a problem. Well, somebody thinks he said survival of the fittest and so they're running around saying so. So all I said was we know that liberals love Darwin.

Liberals love anything that allows them to say there's no God. Liberals will go anywhere and support anything if they can use it to say there's no God. Okay, fine. Then they come up and they say survival of the fittest, fine and dandy. Well, then why don't they let survival of the fittest rule in American society? They love Darwin, and they love survival of the fittest except when it comes to America. Now they want equality of outcomes. They don't want survival of the fittest. They want survival of the incompetents. In fact, they want the incompetents to triumph over the competent. They want the incompetent, the incapable, the stupid, to triumph over the genuine creators of wealth and the entrepreneurs, and that's what's wrong with these people. And if Darwin helps them get there, then they'll use it. And man, I'm telling you, a guy called and asked me about Darwin, evolution or whatever, I told him what I think and my e-mail was just overflowing. I almost had to get a satellite account to handle the overflow, Snerdley, and every one of them was arrogant and condescending: "I can't believe how stupid you are. I had so much invested in your intelligence, you really need to reexamine what you think about Darwinism." These people that believe in Darwin are no different than people who have faith in Jesus Christ or Mohammed or what have you. It's fascinating.

The key thing being "Those people that believe in Darwin are no different than people who have faith in Jesus Christ."

And of course that's simply not true.

Darwin was to Evolution as the book of Genesis was to the BIble. only the beginning, Since that time, Darwins ideas on evolution have been subjected to every test, and the scientific method proves evolution is a fact. There's tons of proof about evolution.

And what proof is there that Jesus Christ ever existed? Well, there's this 4,000 year old book of myths that has ruled one part of the world, and a slightly younger book (the Koran) that has ruled the other part of the world, and where is the proof that God or Jesus Christ existed. Throughout history, more people have been miserable than have been happy, more people have died of disease than have died from wars. It's only in the last hundred years or so that scientists have rebelled against "because god wills it so" and done something to fight such delightful diseases/illnesses as cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's, muscular dystrophy, etc.

This has what's always puzzled me about religious folks. How can they look at the utter misery that has permeated 4,,000 years of human history, the utter mistery that permeates countries today like Haiti, the horrible illnesses that destroy people on a daily basis, and think fora second that "God loves us." Doesn't make any sense to me. Indeed, I confess that sometimes I do wish that there actually was a God, because if there was I'd sure like to have a discussion with him on the incompetent way he goes about things.

I suppose if you must believe that some supreme being created the world and all that's in it, it would be easier to believe that that's all he did,. Then said, "Okay, I created you, Now you're on your own. So let's see what you can do," That'd be palatable, I suppose. BUt to believe in a just and loving god, who would introduce such things as Alzheimers, Muscular Dystrophy, etc, that just boggles my imagination.
