How about a quick essay ? Anyone have a moment ?
Often, the elements of the philosophy of Darwinism are associated with
the creation, and a generalization is expressed:
This proposition details a teeming and vigorous presence of life with
literally countless mutations occurring regularly. Add Darwin's
Wagnerian social philosophy of the survival of the fittest and the
call the result "all that remains and therefore you see".
The creation is considered the surviving and implicitly the strongest
and most suitably adapted results of random experiments. If it seems a
little extreme, the number of experiments is multiplied, much like
adding monkeys to the editor's department of a newspaper until it
reliably turned out copy for the morning edition.
Since the evolutionists PRIMARY distinction is in his view is not
scientific but philosophical (i.e. he refuses to allow for a God of
creation), the primary application of his model is not the plant or
animal kingdoms but humanity. In every way, evolutionism can be seen
as a justification for an escape from moral restraints.
On one hand, we saw the philosophy descended from Darwin, and Wagner
and even Marx active in WW2, where an enormous number of people were
murdered: eliminated for the sake of an improved human species. This
derives from justification of natural selection. Here, in the mind of
the evolutionist, the disposition weak of the weak is proven in their
demise. On the other hand, today's society having advanced the Godless
notion of natural selection redefines the problems of personal need
and hopelessness as a self-glorifying engagement in "compassion". Most
will remember one politician pandering for election by implicitly
promising social benefits with the words "I feel your pain". In this
mindset, personal moral responsibility is passed along to government
to altruistically represent compassion (now an option) for us, and to
provide some moral self-justification.
Abortion, and euthanasia, not only need no justification, but may well
be viewed as organized activities which work in harmony with the
"scheme of things" to eliminate suffering, and advance the agenda of
those who are by nature disposed to survive.
Though it will cause alarm and evoke cries of "pentecostal
anti-intellectualism", I find there is evidence that today the fields
of genetic research and psychiatry descend from these philosophical
roots by lineage of both founding personalities and common goals.
Electro-shock therapy, and mood altering drug therapy both serve to
eliminate diversity of thought, and spiritual sensitivity, and can be
traced DIRECTLY to sciences born and prospering in the
Reichsarbeitgemeinschaft (RAG) otherwise known as T4, and other
ancillary agencies of Hitler's 3rd Reich. Most are unaware that these
"scientists" remained quite employed after the war, and much of the US
Institute of Mental Health grew up on inspiration these veterans of
the nazi effort to eliminate the unfit life of Europe, provided.
Most are unaware of how succinctly the legacy of Darwin, Malthus,
Nietzsche, Gobineau, Wagner, HS Chamberlain, and even Kraepelin
(founder of the German Research Institute for Psychiatry) dovetails
into the areas we sometimes call "moral decay" and godlessness, or our
present age.
I do not believe that Christendom is salvation, but I do believe that
certain ideas maintain the prosperity of the human race, and sustain
its hope. Further I do believe that man must, if he is to rebel
against God and have any lasting effect on earth, struggle HARD
against the principles of God. Evolution is one of the tools of
principle of this struggle. Its science is absurd, but it retains
power because its principles are harmonious with the godless
philosophy which men seek to propagate to advance the spirit which
drives them.
There is at heart, little if any difference between the view of the
ao-called atheist, and the Hindu who serves a pantheon of gods who are
capricious and morally unconcerned for humanity. Both are random
elements in a lawless environment, to whom self-preservation is the
ultimate motive. Organized bodies of people holding this philosophy
deeply is not only a scary idea, it is demonic.
