I’m frustrated right now because it seems to me that in the world of higher education and academia, a large number of professors think that in order to be academically relevant they must accept the theory of evolution. Perhaps it is that they think that in this oh-so-intellectual community believing such a simple thing as creation from nothing into everything in seven days just doesn’t cut it. Perhaps they think that a theory like evolution, though highly problematic and destructive, must be a better and more plausible alternative.
It’s done us a lot of good.
Evolution pleads an ideology of death. There’s no way around it. To get from goo to you by means of the zoo, not only did evolution take billions of years of time, it took billions of years of death. Killing off the wrong results. Eliminating the weak. The survival of the fittest means the destruction of the unfit. Rather than giving you all the reasons that you already know of why evolution could never take place (the one I just can’t get past is if death entered the world by sin and sin by man, then how, after all these billions of years of evolutionary change could the earth still support all the life forms alive until man came along, sinned and introduced death so that nature could start killing these things off? And they say we’re overpopulated today? You have no idea!), let me show you what evolution has lead to, in my humble opinion.
Evolution is all about making the best thing. This means it is all about eliminating anything that is not best. So, you’ve got a set of pre-monkeys that have no tails. One day, a monkey is born with a tail. The tail helps him out so much that he survives a long time and mates with lots of his monkey girlfriends, who have baby monkeys with tails. Eventually, monkeys without tails die out, and we only have the best left: monkeys with tails. This seems to be acceptable in nature. But with humans, NO.
Hitler tried to eliminate the weak humans. He wanted to create a master race. He came at the wrong time in history, because the people living then said “Heck no.” And after a World War and millions dead, Hitler’s dream died.
What if Hitler came along now? He might not be stopped. People might actually applaud his actions. And why? Because we have come so far in an evolutionary mindset that eliminating the weak, the bothersome, is no longer a problem. Now, evolution isn’t the only cause of this. But be sure that evolution was an idea, and ideas have consequences. Consequences like Terri Schindler-Schiavo. We need to be careful about what ideas we embrace in the name of intellectual freedom, because things like that can kill.
