Evolution debunked?



I read this article and thought it made a great deal of sense, at least where I could follow what the editor was saying. I'm not going to jump to any conclusions, but I've always been of the conviction evolution never made complete sense. This guy states some of the reasons I felt supported this feeling, and gave more - a whole lot more.

Here's the article...

http://www.newgeology.us/presentation32.html

The guy doesn't seem to be religious, but does believe in a God; however, he doesn't use God anywhere in his explanation, rather appearing to believe as a result of disproving evolution. This is reportedly a scientific debunking of a scientific theory.

He also has a PDF you can download, top-left on the page. I'd download it before a rampant scientific organization tears the page down.

Leave comments on your thoughts.

If homosexuality's a sin, then...



Of all the things in the world homophobic Christians could be actively working to prevent or reverse, like war, poverty, disease, or corruption, the center-focus of their concerns is usually same-sex relationships - because that kills so many more people, creates so much more suffering, and, fuck it - might destroy the world, too. Don't worry about hydrogen nukes and all that shit - homosexuality's the MOAB of all temporal and ethereal existence. And you just gotta stand back and gape... in complete awe... at the sight of the 'shroom cloud of two men's kiss ebol-izing, corroding and liquefying solid, righteous order into nebulous, abysmal entropy.

When I Googled 'cloud' and 'strife', I wasn't looking for this...
It's a 'shroom cloud, after all, because this variety of Christian must be tripping on acid. Fortunately, I think the only cloud to be worried about right now is the one in their minds.

Meanwhile, Christian science (oxymoron?) apparently made a breakthrough discovery: homosexuality's actually a choice and obesity's really genetic! Well, shit. So obese Christians stuff their faces and tell themselves Jesus didn't want that food to go to someone who's dying without it. "They didn't get the food because- nom, nom - they're sinners." Well shit, why didn't I think of that? Word, right on, H. Christ. Respect, me bredah. (As I was saying about 'shroom clouds...)

I think it'd be pretty awesome to weed out (pun) how they concluded Elvis was the Antichrist back in my father's day, but no, wait - then Judas Priest, he's the-... waaaiit, shit, shit, now it's Marilyn Manson... no... no, fuck me, it's actually Eminem!... God screwed up, sorry. But it was intentional, a Perfect Mistake without mistakes... so don't yeh judge. Only thou... thy... thus... fuck it, whatever - themsomes Lord may judge, you're not allowed to do that, silly.

In the meantime, let's talk about some hard, proven facts Creationist science has uncovered over the past generation, starting with this olde-timer: "Damn blacks are blacks because they choose to be!" < Christianity 60 years ago. Since then, God apparently decided He made another Perfect Mistake, so now He's cool with blacks. Unfortunately, gays are about four decades behind that step up, when they too finally can be born gay not as a choice, but as a forced genetic characteristic - and what a relief that will be. Until then, Creationist science has proven it is a choice. And don't you dare question us, lest ye burn eternal.

Fuck it.

I wonder; what are homophobic Christians going to do if they go to Hell and discover they were the wrong ones? "Well, shit."

Some Christians think being gay is outright unforgivable by any means. I ask them, what are gays supposed to do when they discover they're nonredeemable? "Well, shit. Better prepare for an eternity in Hell, guys." And they should be happy, right? Because it's all part of... God's Perfect Plan. People don't die for reasons, they die for really good excuses! And you learn the trade real quick: they all go to Hell. Makes God's paperwork easier. "He died b-because... uhm... he must've been a closet homosexual, or something. Whatever, he's probably going to Hell because of it."

Here's the one that gets me best... You see, God's alright with Christians murdering in the name of God, and God's alright with heterosexuals committing an unending stream of extremely violent and emotionally-virulent crimes over the course of a lifetime with a plea to Jesus for redemption in their dying breath... "Oh, it's alright, we forgive you, man. Come on up to Heaven!" ...But we must all remember, a Good-Samaritan gay Christian will always be condemned. Soon I'll get a comment on this post saying, "You can't be Christian if you're gay!" Well, shit. I thought you could be. But if gays can't be Christian, I can be sure of one thing - faggots can, and you're the poster-child for it. "Yes we can (persecute whoever we want because our version of the Bible says it's alright!)"

One thing these Christians forget... is the purpose of punishment. But I guess that doesn't matter when Perfect God realizes he was Perfectly Wrong and arbitrarily changes the point of punishment into something that fits His Perfect Plan perfectly. "Oh, you mean we don't punish people to teach them right from wrong? Well, shit."

I can see Jesus meeting a gay at the pearly gates: "Look man, you're a cool guy and all, and a great example of a good human being, assisting the unfortunate and helping orphanages and all... but we can't allow a spirit who inhabited a body predisposed to homosexual genetic coding. I'm sorry, man. You're being sent off to the flames for eternity and that's all I can say. But remember... God does it because HE LOVES YOU."

HE LOVES YOU.

...Well, shit. I'll keep that in mind and burn my girlfriend alive because... I love her. Eh? "Oh, you're hetero? Damn, I thought you were gay all this time. You know you're always welcome in Heaven if you repent now..." No thanks, I'd rather burn in Hell than revel in a Heaven with a God so cruel as yours. But, you know, thanks for the invitation. (I hate getting those things in the mail.)

After all, if homosexuality's sinful, so are infants born with terminal congenital diseases. We should leave the poor things to die an excruciating death and that agony will continue with an eternity in Hell. Google 'depleted uranium' (because I'm not putting those kinds of pictures on here) - those babies are destined for the flames. That's fair, isn't it?

See? Even '60s Spiderman in his blue spidey-tighties agrees it all 'makes sense'.

You shouldn't have to fear God.




I'm a non-religious spiritualist. I'm not involved in any institutional belief including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.

                                                                                                                                                      



It's wrong for the sinful, imperfect creations of a 'perfect' God to hit their children for refusing to return their love, but it's okay for an infinitely patient, benevolent, forgiving and loving God to burn his 'beloved children' for eternity for the same reason.

This is obviously an allusion to Christianity and related beliefs. I mention that because that's where the idea of 'fearing God' sprang up.

So to those people, I go on to ask if, in any healthy relationship with anyone they love - anyone - they feel there should be fear. That goes for parents, children, siblings, friends, best friends, soul mates, brothers-in-arms, and any other kind of relationship established on the grounds of trust, open hearts, freely giving, and unconditional love, all in the best interest to protect and ensure the best for those subject to said feelings.

When they say "No," case dismissed. I've nothing to argue. But when I get a "Yes," it bothers me profusely. So I ask "Why?" I always get a conglomerate of responses adding up to something like, "You should fear God the way you fear authority, like you feared your parents as a child. Fear is necessary to protect you, because they know what they're doing and don't expect you to interfere. Just as fear is necessary to survive in the wilderness, to run from threats."

I understand where someone's coming from with this. But I've noticed it's usually carried on the minds of those raised under harsh parenting, where hitting a child was justified on, "Because I love you." And being children, we don't usually question what we're told. So we come up with things like this steam-pressed onto our mental chalkboard into adulthood, where the dogma's recycled on the children of those adults. "That's how my parents raised me, so that's how it should be, and my own children won't have it any other way." I would know, my girlfriend's parents came up under Hindu culture and that's a rule of parenting where they're from: strike fear into your children to ease the parenting process. (Rather than lovingly guide them and treat them with the respect you're expected to treat anyone else.) Notice, they're Hindu. Striking fear into one's children is acceptable because their gods do the same. As with Christianity, "God does it, so as a godly parent, I shall follow by example." Notice the ties to religion. Goes full-circle back to fearing God originating with religion. It passes down through children via parenting through fear hosted onto the belief systems which are drilled into childrens' minds before they're of age to question it. These are the same people who've garnered impossible magnitudes of bloodshed through religious wars in name of fearing a 'loving' God. Because bloodshed resultant of outright denial of others' perspectives is loving, right?

I've been through all the mills online arguing with the dogmatic, whether theistic or not. Yes, even atheists have had this problem, and it's usually rooted on mainstream science and the idea of survival; "In nature, fear is naturally used to avoid harm. Thus, to avoid harm to my child, I raise him under fear. I raise him to fear the world, and I moreover raise him to fear me, because if he doesn't listen to me, I'll give him something to be afraid of." Because that's more intelligent than raising your child to calmly focus, maintain self-control, and rationally analyze the best solution to avoiding a potentially dangerous situation. Right?

If fear is designed to avoid harm by means of running from said threat or retaliating against it, why should I fear God? How can I become closer to a God whom I'm expected to run from or retaliate against?... Or does God intend to harm me? "He will, if you don't fear Him." But why? "Don't ask questions, you'll burn in Hell. Surely you're afraid of that!"

We don't need to be afraid to avoid harm when we can rationally react to dangerous situations instead. We don't even need fear to react impulsively. We don't need fear at all, period. Ever. Fear's saved people, granted. So has pure coincidence. So has embracing lies. So have so many other systems of thought which a thinking human knows isn't right. How many times has fear killed people who reacted on fearful impulse instead of steadfast, rational quickness? Panicking, crashing into things, self-injury hand-in-hand with collateral damage, stabbing oneself into that sharp outcropping their adrenaline-clouded mind didn't process, or falling off that ravine that wasn't there, or running in front of a moving vehicle that seemed stationary in the only instance you consciously noticed it... These instances don't save people, man.

Getting verbally and mentally defensive with someone results of fear. This causes problems in peoples' relationships, the physical catastrophes in the previous paragraph just happening on a mental level. Running from your problems by avoiding the person who 'threatened' you. Angrily and/or hatefully making impulsive remarks and outlashes from those dark emotions which you wouldn't've said in your rational mind. "I hate you!" when, you actually love them. "I wish I'd never met you! Never speak to me again!" when, you wouldn't know what to do without them. "Fuck you!" when you've nothing more constructive to say.

It's this understanding of fear which is why I feel fear can never be used as grounds for love. Fear is weakness... as I see it. And I believe that's how it truly is. I believe fear's the root of all evil, including the 'sin' religious individuals dread.
