Charles Darwin – Lee Duigon

Charles Darwin–would he be appalled by what his ideas gave birth do?

We all know this Bible verse, don’t we? “And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28)

In his Politics of Guilt and Pity (1970; 1995 edition, pg. 104), R.J. Rushdoony shocks us with this quote from Charles Darwin. The parallel between this and Romans 8:28 should make your hair stand on end:

“And as natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.”

In those very few words, the reprobate mind of Charles Darwin sets up an idol, “natural selection,” to do what God does and to replace Him! And what the heck, we “higher animals,” human beings, don’t have to believe or do a single thing! It’s all done for us, not by God’s sovereign grace, but by blind natural processes.

Is it any wonder how Darwin’s work opened the door for the horrors of the 20th century and our own–opened it to communism? And all that that entails, complete with the mass murder of tens of millions of communist countries’ own people.

Darwin, you were a wicked and foolish man and your ideas deserve to be tossed out with the trash.

New computer models and lab experiments, for what that’s worth, suggest that Charles Darwin was wrong in thinking life originated in “a warm little pond” somewhere. Now the smart money is on deep-sea hydrothermal vents (https://www.foxnews.com/science/charles-darwin-wrong-life-started-on-earth).

So far, space exploration has indicated that warm little ponds are kind of hard to come by, once you leave earth, so they’re hoping they can find some hydrothermal vents. But first you’ve got to find water, and that’s not so easy, either. But they’re hoping there’s deep water under the planetary ice sheets found on some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Meanwhile back in the lab, scientists have “re-created the environment” around Earth’s hydrothermal vents–to which they added “fatty acids and fatty alcohols” to make molecules that look like maybe someday they might sprout arms and legs and jump up singing “I’m My Own Grandpa.”

Does anybody else have a little problem with “adding” stuff to get, er, “pre-life” going? How did the original fatty acids come into being?

Really, it’s all too silly for words. But ‘naturalism’ very badly needs and wishes for there to be life on other planets, so it’ll keep on generating theories until they find some.
