the US population seems pretty evenly divided over whether the human species is biologically related to other animals or whether we were specially created as part of a flurry of Miracles even our Collective politicians seemingly all of them are wrapped up in this controversy yet it's hard to find even one of them who knows what it's about why is it that there is such concern in so many grade schools K through 12 about teaching evolution yet there is still a complete consensus among scientists All Over America and the rest of the world that evolution is the
backbone of modern bi ology and a demonstrable reality historically as well most people don't understand science what it is how it works what hypotheses and theories are or even the purpose behind it sadly even those on your School faculty or State Board of Education often need an education themselves before they can be trusted to govern how or what our kids will be taught and that's why I thought I would speak up and do what I can to help do adequately understand Evolution you not only have to understand how to be scientific which is the real
trick for most people but you also have to know something about cellular biology genetics and Anatomy geology particularly paleontology as well as environmental systems tectonics Atomic chemistry and especially taxonomy which most people don't know squat about at all most people who accept evolution also tend to know a whole lot about cosmology geography history sociology politics and of course religion but to believe in creationism you don't have to know anything about anything and it's better if you don't because creation ISM relies on ignorance it is not honest research it is a scam a con job exploiting
the common folk and preying on their deepest beliefs and fears creationist apologetics depends on misrepresented data and misquoted authorities out of date and out of context and uses distorted definitions if it uses definitions at all there are basically two types of creationists the professional or political creationists these are the activists who lead the movement and who will regularly deliberately lie to promote their propaganda and the second type which are the innocently deceived followers commonly known as sheep I know lots of intellectual Christians but I can't get any of them to actually watch the T evangelist
because they either already know how phony they are or they don't want to find out but that only allows a radical Fringe to claim support from the masses they now also claim to represent so there's nothing to stop them professional creationists are making money hand over fist with faith healing scams or buking little old ladies out of prayer donations or selling books and videos at their circus-like seminars where they have undeserved respect as powerful leaders all of them Fain knowledge they can't really possess and some of them claim degrees they've never actually earned you are
a scientist correct that's right I have a PhD in truthy from Christian Tech were it not for this Con they'd have to go back to selling used cars Wonder drugs and multi-level marketing schemes they will never change their mind no matter what it costs anyone else so it is obviously the Sheep whom I'm attempting to reach with this speech so that they might not be sheep anymore and will stop feeding fuel into the manipulative movement because it is one thing to believe in something which might be true like God in general or Christianity specifically even
though neither can be substantiated or tested in any objective way but it's a whole other matter to willfully deceive others into believing things which are definitely not true like creationism especially when we can also prove that those doing this know their assorted arguments are bogus and know they're lying to our children and that they hope to continue doing so under the guise of Education creationism extorts support through peer pressure Prejudice and paranoid propaganda and sells itself with short simplistic slogans which appeal to those who don't want to think too much or are afraid to question
their own beliefs worst of all it actually forbids critical inquiry and promotes anti-intellectualism and is based on at least a dozen foundational falsehoods first and foremost among them is the idea that accepting Evolution requires the rejection of theism if not all other religious or spiritual beliefs as well for decades Those Behind the creationism movement have tried very hard to portray the illusion that one cannot accept evolution and still believe in God they know better but they still want you to believe that evolution is atheist and that it is either Evolution without God or God creating
without Evolution that's been their Central claim since the creationism movement began but the supposed controversy never was about whether or not there is a God most people believe there is a God and they believe he is in control of all the seemingly random events of our lives this is true of most of the people who accept evolution also most of them believe in God as well and they believe that God is in control of evolution that Evolution like every other system in nature is part of God's design of the couple hundred different and often violently
conflicting denominations of Christianity the largest of them by far is Catholicism followed by Orthodoxy both of these have stated support of evolution and denounced creationism Pope Benedict recently described Evolution as an enriching reality and described creationist contest against it as absurd both of the popes before him advised Christians around the world to consider Evolution to be more than a hypothesis and not to fear acceptance of that as being any challenge to their faith in Christ the early proponents of evolutionary science were all initially Christian including Darwin and many of the leading proponents of modern evolutionary
science are still Christian today for example microbiologist Dr Ken Miller who testified against intelligent design creationism in kits Miller versus over is a Catholic another outspoken proponent of evolution Dr Robert T Bacher who has phds from both Harvard and Yale is not only one of the leading and most recognizable paleontologists in the world today but he also happens to be a Bible believing Pentecostal preacher though he interprets Genesis differently than literalist would in his book bones Bibles and creation he says that to treat the Bible as though it were common history is to degrade its
Eternal meaning one of the earliest geneticists theodosius doans was an Orthodox Christian who many times professed his belief that life was created by God but that nothing in biology made sense except in light of evolution all these men agree that even if there really is a God and even if that God is the Christian God and even if that God created the universe and everything in it which they all believe Evolution would still be at least mostly true and creationism would still be completely wrong of all the developed Nations throughout Christendom only the United States
has a significant number of creationists and they're the minority even here every other predominantly Christian country tends to regard creationism as an incredulous if not insane radical Fringe movement which is an almost exclusively American phenomenon and not taken seriously anywhere else pole after poll continues to reveal that around the world most evolutionists are Christian and most Christians are evolutionists so evolution is not synonymous with atheism and creationism isn't synonymous with Christianity either most creationists aren't even Christians there are millions more Muslim and Hindu creationists than Christian ones regardless which religion they claim creationism can be
collectively defined as the fraction of religious believers who reject science not just the conclusions of science but its methods as well and I mean all of them from uniformitarianism and methodological naturalism to the peerreview process and the requirement that all positive claims be based on testable evidence these people rely instead on Blind Faith in the assumed authority of their favorite fables in all cases creationism is an obstinate and dogmatic superstitious belief which holds that members of most seemingly related taxonomic groups did not evolve naturally but were created magically that plants and animals were literally poofed
out of nothing fully formed in their current state unrelated to anything else despite all indications to the contrary creationists May side with Western abrahamic religions being the judeo-christian Islamic Mythos in which there are conflicting versions of the same Tales or creationist May belong to one of many Eastern religions where the sacred stories of creation are much older completely different and dedicated to other gods and pantheons but in every case the proposed Creator is Supernatural meaning that it is not a part of perceptible reality therefore it is undetectable by any testable means and can only be
assumed to exist for subjective emotional reasons or as a result of cultural indoctrination rather than because of Any measurable evidence or logical rationale in other words there's no way to say if it's really there worst of all there's also no way to distinguish anyone's gods or ghosts from the imaginary being some primitive folks just made up either this doesn't mean no God exists but it does mean that science can't say anything about them because even if gods are real they still don't appear to be and apparently don't want to since all the holy books demand
that they be believed on faith alone as there is nothing anyone can verify and thus actually know to be correct about Gods then science is unable to make any comment about them at all because science can only ever investigate things with demonstrable evidence which can be tested or measured from the creationist perspective the method or mechanism of creation which these mystical beings use is nothing more than a Gollum spell where clay statues are animated with an enchantment or it's an incantation in which complex modern plants and animals are spoken into being that's right Magic Words
which cause fully developed adult animals to be conjured out of thin air or a god simply wishes them to exist so they do that's it there really is nothing more to it than that pure freaking Magic by definition remember that the next time you hear anything from a creation scientist so for those who believe in God the question really is how God created and whether that was by one of many inextricably integrated natural systems he seemingly designed or whether he simply blinked wiggled his nose wished upon a star and said abracadabra
