The Dorkins prog on ch 4 (of which I missed the first half) was predictably wooly minded and obtuse in its flawed ratiocinations.We had nature red in tooth and claw with the Dork in the jungle - a picture of mass carnage (which I must say is hardly the cuddly image of the animal kingdom depited by the animal rightists)and from there we were told Darwin worked out his theory of natural selction,adaptation and survival of the fittest.Fair enough but from there to giant apriori leaps of logic to extrapolate from animals to humans?!No recognition of the blindingly obvious fact that humans are not animals and you cannot extrapolate from one to the other without calamitously egregious and erroneous results.
It is clear that for the Dork Origins of Specious is a revered text and he is the high priest of its fallacious credo.If Darwin's theory were correct by now animals would have made evolutionary leaps to the human level but this is far from the case and the most humans have been able to achieve re training animals is to get them to perform a few juggling tricks with balls.I have yet to see any Shakespeare or Motzart of the animal kingdom.
The higher conciousness, philosophy,morality,the powers of conceptualization,the intellect, science,technology,conscience,metaphysical awareness - all things humans have and animals do not - renders the whole idea of evolution as applied to human beings absurd and ridiculous.

I have no difficulty disseminating the information that primates are the closest biological ancestors of humans, no problem with fossils that show Neanderthal Man and Homosapians had a close DNA ancestry, no difficulty to imagine that if human 'races' had remained apart for a million years we would not be able to interbreed (as we can today) and we would have become separate species. No problem with observing life as it really is.
I do have a problem with the Shazam of a Semitic tribe, stealing ideas from Zoroastrianism and Egyptian Book of the Dead, claiming God made Male first then Eve from his rib and their dominion over God's Kingdom on Earth. This is ego, and simply a stage of consciousness of a child not being able to let go from his dreams.
As a Bible literalist I would obviously have to disagree.
Hi Nico,
Now we are in agreement. I discern what is false in the Bible, you say it is all true.
Please explain the following statement:
"They shall take up serpents: and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hand upon the sick: and they shall recover."
Is this written by a zealous believer, or did Jesus really say this? Mark 16:18
I can discern a Christian muppet, can you?
Hi Nico,
If the Russians decide to get you to drink poison, by the Word of Mark 16:18 you will not die. No True Christian ever will die by poison by mouth... because that's the Gospel Truth. However, if they inject poison, well that's another matter because Scripture does not say anything about that so you have to rely on something called common sense. Sadly in short supply with any followers of any Received Religion.
