In God & Darwin

we Trust!

by Nic Samojluk

 

We might be quite familiar with the way Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution are viewed by most Americans, but not so much about what people in other parts of the world think about him and his theory of origin and common descent. This is why I decided to share with you the following comments from Patagonia.

Quote:

In Southern Patagonia, Charles Darwin is big medicine. I'm writing this from Puerto Natales, from the third floor of the Charles Darwin Hotel—every tin-roof town in southern Chile seems to have one. There are streets named after the British naturalist, and restaurants and schools and, of course, bars. Outside my window the sun is setting on the broken black teeth of Torres del Paine National Park. The low clouds catch and stumble as they race over the icy massifs. If you don't ponder Creation here you are as insensible as a stone.

It's a long way from the courthouse in Harrisburg, Pa., where in a month or so Judge John E. Jones III will render his verdict in the civil suit against the Dover Area School District—a fight over a four-paragraph statement read to biology students that seems to support "Intelligent Design," crediting nature's complexity to some supernatural power as opposed to the theories of random mutation and natural selection Darwin first conjured in Patagonia ...

Here in Patagonia, however, Darwin is anything but God's enemy. Perhaps it's because Chile owns a piece of evolution's scientific history, or perhaps it's because the brand of Catholicism practiced here is both universal and unusually easygoing, but the country never joined the Darwinian debate ...


If Patagonians want to worship both at the shrine of Darwin and the God of heaven, it is their prerogative; but I feel sorry for their myopic view of this issue. The defenders of Darwin's theory of evolution think that it is based on factual scientific evidence, which is not. The bedrock of science is replication, verification, and experimentation.

In the last century and a half of evolutionary monopoly in education, no scientist has so far been able to replicate the transformation of a chimpanzee into a homo sapiens. When you breed dogs, all you get is more dogs. Besides, if evolutionists ever cross the major species barrier, then it will evidence that the result is due to--you guessed right--Intelligent Design!
