Is it any wonder; Part Deux
I used to think that science was one of the last or only incorruptible communities left on the planet, and that the pursuit of truth and discovery through the much hailed "scientific method". Turns out I was wrong, yet again. Seems the longer I live the more ignorant I get. Turns out that the scientific community is a cult, at least the elite top end is especially when it comes to molecular biology especially when it comes to the origins of life on this crappy whirling dirtball of a planet.
Most every one is acquainted with the principals put forth by Chuck Darwin, the Theory of evolution as it is more commonly known. I use the familiar Chuck for Charles to indicate that I have little or no respect for him or his work. It seems that every one has forgotten that Chuck himself later recanted his theories as flawed and erroneous. Chuck's ideas do at a certain level explain the changes of species over time. But some how today's scientists have dropped the theory part of the phrase and take it as Fact. How is it that other scientific communities move on from the past. Physicists moved past Newton to Einstein and beyond. Cant we move past Darwin? Even though not one scientist can categorically state with an absolute 100 % certainty that Evolution is a fact not a strained out dated theory or possesses the ability to reproduce the origin of life. Not a single scientist can "create" life at any level. I mean can not get the 256 proteins to line up in the proper order to be considered the MOST basic building block of life. And it makes me wonder even if you could get that to happen once in say every 100,000 years what is the likely hood that single strand could find another before it expired in what ever violent situation that might befall such a randomly joined bit of protein in the unbelievably violent environment of that time. Volcanic activity, intense meteor activity very unfriendly chemical oceans you name it, this was not a hospitable place especially if you think that this happened before the event that left us with a moon. That single event absolutely erased every thing on the pre-moon planet just like that. Look in to how the moon got where it is today. That is an amazing story!
It seems that if you speak just a whisper of descent of Gospel according to Darwin you can have your life erased, as a scientist any way. Professors who have mentioned Intelligent Design even in passing have been fired and black listed never to work as a teacher or scientist again.
Scientists allow NO room for a "creator" of any kind. Live as we know it "IS" all accidental undirected. You follow the accepted doctrin lock/goose step or else.
If you apply the same general guidelines that might apply to a cult to the elite of the scientific comuiity it begins to look rather cultish... to me. I read where one scientist proposed that with less religion in the way more science could fill the void on knowledge and as more science filled the void less and less religion would be needed until ultimately there would be no religion. We have seen this sort of pursuit before. The Nazi's pursued this level of commitment to science that ultimately lead to a policy of doing away with those not sufficiently worthy to eat, Eugenics... the Master Race. Heck even in America we pursued that. 50,000 people were sterilized against their will. Every time we see Government remove religion from it society we see events like those that took place under Mao and Stalin and Pol Pot. Similarly when you have a government that is totally religious you have states like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan Saudi Arabia, Somalia where the penalty for most any tiny infraction is death, and not your run of the mill lethal injection death... stoning and other med-evil very cruel and unusual methods.
This post is unfinished but posted anyway.
I had a bad day, an amazing confluence of events that really beat on my faith in just about every thing there is. Days like this make my brain boil with frustration with lack of any thing to be done to work against this.
