The tip of the ice berg

[Mr Laurier]

If you are not an evolutionist you generally can say goodbye to a career in science. There are rare facilities that are tolerant of those who reject evolution. Mostly, you have to worship the god of Darwinism before you can get anywhere.

I am a Christian. I do not subscribe to "isms" or "ists" of any kind. God is way too big to put in some neat pigeonhole. I take God at His word.

I do not accept the young earth creation idea. I subscribe to what is known as gap theory, or my preference, pre-Adamic creation. I am, I believe, in the minority.

Evolutionary science differs in that it cannot be demonstrated, repeated or proven in any meaningful way. And I reject adaptation as evidence of macro evolution. They are not the same thing.

There is no such thing as an evolutionist.
The god of Darwinism, is the American dollar.

 

[AV1611VET]

The god of Darwinism, is the American dollar.

It's not this:

Matthew 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

It's not this:

No. The Pound has long been superseded.

 

[AV1611VET]

No. The Pound has long been superseded.

It has?

 

[Mr Laurier]

It has?

As the dominant currency of the planet? Yes.
Since the dissolution of the empire on the 1950s.
The American Dollar has been the currency of power for over 65 years

Bretton Woods was 1944. And it had nothing to do with end of empire.

Ah.
Thankyou

You'll die and go to Hell waiting to get evidence that God created the universe ex nihilo.

Unless you "see the Light" before it's too late -- and I pray that happens.

A non effective solution to a non existent problem.
All is alright.

 

[AV1611VET]

What about:

1. Darwin, Australia?
2. Darwin's internment in Westminster Abbey?
3. Darwin's title, The Father of Evolution?

1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

As I said, it'll be your downfall.

 

[Mr Laurier]

What about:

1. Darwin, Australia?
2. Darwin's internment in Westminster Abbey?
3. Darwin's title, The Father of Evolution?

What about them? What do these things have to do with the shift of economic power from London to New York?
And no, Father of Evolution, is NOT Darwin's title. He never received a title.

But what do these things have to do with the shift of economic power from London to New York?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

It has?

Yes. And Charles Darwin was only on the £10 note 2000-2017.

 

[AV1611VET]

What about them? What do these things have to do with the shift of economic power from London to New York?

Did you forget you said this:

The god of Darwinism, is the American dollar.

What happened to "the god of" all of a sudden?

And no, Father of Evolution, is NOT Darwin's title. He never received a title.

Really?

What's this:

Charles Darwin: 5 Facts About the Father of Evolution

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes. And Charles Darwin was only on the £10 note 2000-2017.

What's your point?

That those notes are not legal tender anymore?

 

[Mr Laurier]

Did you forget you said this:

Said what?
That the god of Darwinism is the american dollar? Why would I forget something so established?
The american dollar has been the god of unrestricted capitalism, since 1944

What happened to "the god of" all of a sudden?

Whatever you want apparently. You seem to be spinning a very elaborate fantasy.

Really?

Really.

What's this:

A link?

Charles Darwin: 5 Facts About the Father of Evolution

Oh look. AV linked to a site that fails to support the fantasy he wants to spin.
The fact that a cheezy website misidentifies a person, does not make the person become what the website claims.
A title would be Earl of Suffolk, or Baron of Kent.
And the term "Father of Evolution", is not a title. And is factually wrong.
But you know that already.

Oh look.* AV linked to a site that supports "the fantasy he wants to spin."

The research of British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) played a pivotal role in developing the theory of natural selection. But over time, Charles Darwin became almost universally thought of as the father of evolution.

While Darwin was clearly not the "Father of Evolution" there are a few candidates who sparked the idea of evolution including the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

In the 1920s there was a major study in estimating the IQ's of three hundred gifted individuals in various fields throughout history.
Goethe was ranked at the top.

​

It has been stated being one of the greatest writers in history has overshadowed Goethe's works in other fields such as science.

Goethe was writing about adaptation even before Darwin was born.

The ever-changing display of plant forms, which I have followed for so many years, awakens increasingly within me the notion: The plant forms which surround us were not all created at some given point in time and then locked into the given form, they have been given… a felicitous mobility and plasticity allowing them to grow and adapt themselves to many different conditions in many different places.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

What's your point?

Darwin's picture was used 55 years after the global reserve currency of choice was the US dollar. So your claim about "the god of Darwinism" being pound sterling is laughable.

That those notes are not legal tender anymore?

They haven't been legal tender for several years.

Cute.
You do like to play these silly games.
While Darwin, along with Wallace, and Huxley, can be loosely described as the midwives to the first scientific understanding of evolution. They also share this distinction with a few other naturalists of the era.
But facts must never get in the way of your agenda, must they. And you always have the agenda, firmly front and center.

Went extinct, did they?
