Keeping Facts Away from the Public

I have witnessed something historic in these past few months. Not just the hurricanes, but the bombardment of misinformation to the public to create an attitude.

The National Center for Science Education is candid about their purpose to show people how to fight ideas against evolution. They provide their network of contacts a strategy and what to say. Sounds more like politics than science, huh?

From Fear to Dominance

Only 4 months ago I was excited to see the Intelligent Design debate rise in Kansas. The boycotting by the Darwinian evolutionist scientists from the debate while feeding daily doses of criticism to the press showed their fear. And then I saw the pattern. More and more they made it a church and state issue. With that church and state issue they also discredited the Intelligent Design proponents as dishonest, religious folks. No one likes religious hypocrites. How distasteful that church people would fake a science theory just to sneak in religion against the law and against people’s will. Yeah, that strategy worked so they kept feeding the public.

Naturally, proving motives is not easy. In a science debate, motives are irrelevant. 1 in a thousand journalists notice the absence of scientific discussion. Evidence is what rational scientific debates are about but there is no way the evolutionists are going to let that happen. Keep the evidence far away from the public and just keep pounding these negative images into their heads. Sneaky religious folks who disrespect the law. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Eventually they even proclaimed “Intelligent Design is a religious concept”. Why should they tell the media they know creationism is the religious viewpoint and Intelligent Design is an effort to deal strictly with provable information? “Evolution is a proven fact” has been stated lately in the press by non-scientists all over. No words of correction from the scientists for evolution. Silence. After all, this is what they wanted, even if it is incorrect.

Advertising

In the advertising industry they have learned if people feel good about a commercial emotionally they will buy the product, even if the commercial has nothing to do with the product. Likewise, if people don’t like the commercial, they won’t like the product, even if the product is good and only the commercial is bad.

This works in the media and in politics too. People are so bombarded with negative impressions of Intelligent Design it doesn’t even matter if claims are totally false, people are disliking Intelligent Design. Letters to editors, press release statements from scientists, radio broadcasts, and TV interviews; over and over misinformation that makes the public emotionally negative about Intelligent Design.

Contrary to Science

The public is not getting the information. They would see that the major pillars of Darwinian evolution [explosions creating order, life from non-living material, life forms being successfully designed by accident, one species giving birth to an entirely new and successful species, DNA inventing new characteristics in response to creature discontent and desire, etc.] were not only unscientific, but anti-scientific.

There is a big difference between a lack of evidence and evidence contrary to the facts. Let's say in a burglary case the accuser says some boys came trespassing on his property and stole his tomatoes and corn but no one saw them. That is a lack of evidence. But if we go to the property to discover deer tracks everywhere and that all he grows is flowers and no food, we learn his testimony is CONTRARY to evidence.
        Evolution is not just missing some links, it is CONTRARY to evidence.

Intelligent Design is scientific because is simply states the obvious based on the evidence. Design comes from intentional effort. We can prove that easily in an experiment. Explosions ruin things. We can prove that. Cats have kittens. Dogs have puppies. We can prove that. DNA militantly protects against major mutations. We can prove that. Intelligent Design is all science. Evolution not only lacks evidence; it is contrary to evidence.

Everything Backwards

The public is hearing everything backwards. They are hearing Intelligent Design is religion. The number one distinguishing characteristic about intelligent design is that it excludes religion to focus on facts. The public is being told evolution has hard evidence so often that the public is literally becoming impatient with the Intelligent Design movement.

What Can We Do?

How are we ever going to get the truth out? Well, we know what happens when good men do nothing. For starters, we need to individually understand the truth. Then we need to make sure our families not only understand, but that they also see the way deception works so that even our children can untangle a twisted statement.

Stick to the basics. What is true? 

In this arena, the question is “What is the scientific method?” Then “How do these various theories hold up when applying the scientific method?” The question is not "Who's talking?" but “What is provable?”

A Nation Friendly to the Truth

The most amazing scientific observation for me today is where over just a few months, if you tell people something enough times they will feel it and then believe it. Advertising works better than truth and these scientists are proving it with the masses. I only hope and pray that truth can prevail in courtrooms and school boards and churches too, because our nation is the environment where we and our children must live. I want a nation friendly to the truth.
