Bob Wallace followed that article with this one:
The Humorless Church of Darwin
by Bob Wallace
A little while ago I published an article suggesting I should be able to evolve a six-foot-long left arm. I used Richard Dawkin's argument about how flying squirrels evolved sideflaps.
Those who e-mailed me agreeing with me understood I was joking. Those who disagreed with me, well, the humor went right over their heads. They thought I was serious, and that I really believed billions of dumb squirrels, though millions of years, hurtled to their deaths. They didn't get the joke at all.
Some railed against my stupidity and ignorance, and others wrote long, involved, detailed letters telling me how these sideflaps really evolved. Their arguments were as silly as mine. Only they were serious, and I wasn't.
Such seriousness, and such a lack of humor, indicates I was attacking the religion of fanatics. Such earnest protestations led me to believe they were having trouble believing in Holy Darwin and the Church of Evolution, and were desperately trying to convince themselves it really was true.
The response I got was about the same as if I had said, "Yo, Osama you know you got a bunch of false, silly beliefs?" The onslaught began. "Let's set this fool straight-or off with his head! Which is empty! Or if it isn't, he doesn't use it anyway!"
Illustrating a grain of truth by humorous exaggeration is an old literary trick Ridicule is one of the best weapons there is. Voltaire understood this when he wrote, "Lord, please make my opponents ridiculous." And the worst kind of ridicule is when you turn people's guns back on them.
Now it certainly seems to be okay for materialistic evolutionists to mock and abuse religious people who have doubts about evolution. After all, they're just a bunch of ignorant hicks perpetually clutching their Bibles in their hands. They deserve whatever they get, right?
But God forbid that anyone tease an evolutionist, or point out the gaping holes in that pseudo-science known as evolutionary theory, or make fools of them by using their own preposterous concepts against them. I get the same I'm-gonna-go-bin-Laden-on-you attacks I get when I tell Randroids that Atlas Shrugged is a proto-fascist piece of junk.
In this country you can attack just about everything except Darwinism. You can mock Freud, Marxism, liberalism or conservatism. You can claim Catholic priests are pederasts protected by the Catholic Church, you can claim George Bush started this war to get an oil pipeline built through Afghanistan...but you can't mock evolution. Evolutionoids will flop on the ground, their eyes will roll up in the heads, and, yea, they will froth at the mouth and gnash their teeth and throw conniption fits.
One e-mailer suggested this site utilize a science editor so retarded, Forrest Gumpish people such as myself could not voice their opinions. Which means, of course, that anyone with doubts about evolution could never have their say. After all, since evolution is true, then anyone who disagrees with it is automatically wrong, and should be silenced lest they pollute the minds of the young and turn them from the path of righteousness.
When I wondered where the non-material "information" in our DNA is located, one writer suggested I consult a geneticist. That particular problem is not a scientific problem, but a philosophical one. But I was told to ask a geneticist about philosophy.
Others wrote about how dominant sideflap genes came poof into existence, the end result being Rocket J. swooping from tree to tree. Good thing I didn't tease about squirrels wanting to mate with a mutant. They wouldn't have gotten that joke either ("Ooh, look at those bulging, masculine pouches on that manly hunk of squirrel!" "Hey, look at those curvy membranes on that squirrel babe!")
It's another good thing I didn't write about a line of dents in the ground from the launch tree to the landing tree, with another line of dents from the bottom of the landing tree up to the lower branch. They would have thought I was serious about that, too.
I can't do much more than blame this on the State-controlled public schools. When I called them "Brain Laundries" I meant it. Not one of those who supported evolution understood that change within species has nothing to do with one species changing into another. To them, the first meant the second had been proved. This is the same as saying that because "dog" can be turned into "Chihuahua," this means "dog" can be turned, given enough time, into "cat."
But, enough joking.
What science is based on is materialism, i.e., matter is all there is, and life, consciousness and self-consciousness are just epiphenomena, and that it all just somehow "evolved." Supposedly there is no meaning or purpose to anything.
What would you get with such a nihilistic belief system such as this? We can look to the 20th century. You get Nazism and Communism. The Nazis were great believers in evolutionary theory, which is why they killed 12 million wrongly-evolved subhumans in their death camps. And according to evolutionary theory, there was, ultimately, nothing wrong with this. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, it's a good thing!
This is what happens when the leftist State is worshipped as God, and humans are sacrificed to it. And evolutionary theory-a Molochian idol is there ever was one-is one of the means to that end.
Evolutionary theory is not associated with rightism. It is associated with leftism. Leftism is inherently atheistic, materialistic and nihilistic. Just as modern-day evolutionary theory is. No matter what rationalizations evolutionists engage in, it still ultimately comes down to the fact they believe Man means no more than a cockroach. That's why loony leftist environmentalist wackos, with their "A pig is a rat is a boy," are actually in bed with the Darwinists.
A rightist conservative/classical liberal/libertarian, believes in a Higher Law. That right and wrong are not simply one's opinions, as they are with leftists and materialistic evolutionists. Right and wrong are built into the very fabric of the universe, and are discoverable, just as the laws of math and physics are discoverable.
One cannot be a rightist and believe in materialistic evolutionary theory. One cannot believe right and wrong are absolute, and at the same time believe they are merely one's opinions. One cannot say, "It's wrong to murder people," when evolutionary theory says, "Hey, no problem." And when people babble about "compassion" genes or whatever rationalization they use, they still cannot overcome the fact that evolutionists have no defense against the rightness of genocide.
People who truly, honestly believe in materialistic evolutionary theory are not rightists. They're leftists.
Neocons can claim they're conservative, but they're not. They're fascists and socialists masquerading as conservatives. Libertarians can claim they support the American Empire and the war in Afghanistan (never mind the fact the real threat is the Saudi/Wahabi Fifth Column in the U.S.) but they're not libertarians. And those who believe in evolutionary theory can call themselves libertarians and classical liberals all they want, but they're leftists, with all of the wackiness and self-delusion inherent in it.
By the way, billions of squirrels really did crash their little squirrel skulls into the ground.
