HARD TO FIGHT A VISION
In the same way a new wife cannot compete with the idealized
version of a deceased wife, like the politician who was once criticized for
every decision but is now idealized because of his pre-mature death, like a
place visited on a vacation is described in perfect terms of beauty and people
and weather. . . Once idealized, imperfection is nearly impossible. Flaws become endearing quirks.
Twice I have been criticized for building an evolutionary
theory “straw man” to knock down. It was suggested that I created a less
perfect version of the theory so that I can make it “appear” more fallible.
Hardly.
THE REAL THEORY OF EVOLUTION
In reality, the evolutionary theory’s main pillars of
assumption are more than flawed. They are downright unscientific. I have merely
touched the surface. If there is a misperception regarding evolution, I assure
you, it is a more flattering picture than it deserves. The public perception
that it has been proven or nearly proven is false.
THEY COUNT ON PUBLIC'S MISPERCEPTION
Informed scientists know this. The public on the other hand,
are the ones who describe evolution in concrete form as a solid, verified,
proven scientifically valid basis for all other research. It is because of this
overwhelmingly wrong perception that is rarely corrected by scientists that really
know better, that challenging theories are duped “ignorant” or “religious”.
The public assumes challenges to the evolutionary theory are
much like challenging gravity or the idea that water is wet. The evolutionary
scientists that know the flaws of evolution still fan the flames of
misperception that evolution is overwhelmingly credible. They know that it is a
weak theory that has grown in popularity but in fact continually losing ground
scientifically with research through the years.
If they can stay out of all scientific arenas of debate and
allow the public’s perception win the battle, rather than the facts, they know
they can keep winning. This is their only hope and this is their strategy. Let
the misguided public and the misguided professors and teachers fight the
battle. They certainly will not be corrected for assuming there is more
evidence than actually exists.
The secret strategy of battle against Intelligent Design and
creationism and any theory that would criticize the scientific credibility of
evolution is to fight on every front except the scientific front.
Idealized evolution is a much bigger enemy than the real
evolutionary theory. One is “perfect and proven” while the real theory is so
flawed that it opposes science and the scientific method itself.
LET THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD BE THE REFEREE
Am I just talking here? Then let’s use the rules of science
in an arena of unprejudiced science referees and wage the debate there. For
starters let’s pit the scientific method against the theory of evolution. Let’s
see how many claims have been proven in a laboratory or observed with
pattern-like consistency.
NATURE IS MORE FUN
There are more articles on this blog, but nature is much more
inspiring. It isn't my fault that nature itself points to a genius
designer whose wisdom is far above man.

If I don't blog soon enough, I wish all a very Merry Christmas, no matter what the ACLU wants me to wish you.

I too enjoy nature. Check out my blog at www.homeschoolblogger.com/tracker
It is mainly written on my experiences in nature. Merry Christmas!
