20th Century's Big Hoax was Darwinism; This Century it's Global Warming
Beliefs in global warming, environmentalism, and overpopulation are all united around the core belief that human beings are bad.
The theory of evolution is related because it maintains humans are not special. They are not created in the image of God. In fact evolution tries to explain how God may not have had anything to do with anything.
The 1st 3 beliefs connect to abortion by rationalizing it and the latter by lessening its significance.
Pat Buchanan wrote a great column on March 2 entitled, "Hoax of the century." In it he explains how Darwinism was the great hoax of the 20th Century, and global warming is the great hoax of the 21st Century. (In his piece Buchanan describes the Piltdown Man hoax, a model of which is pictured left.)
I'm always intrigued by stories about evolution, which fall into 3 categories: 1) Hostility of its believers verging on terror that any would question it, with mammoth (pardon the pun) attempts to quash dissenters; 2) a new find "proving" evolution, usually the "missing link"; 3) a revelation that an old find was either a hoax or case of mistaken identity.
I'll add I'm saddened some Christians think evolution can somehow fit into our belief system. It simply cannot. Either the Genesis 1 account of creation is accurate, or it is not. To this day there is NO standing evidence that Darwin was right, only evidences dashed.
To that end comes a March 5 AOL story that falls into category #3. It tells how a supposed "missing link" discovered last year named "Ida" (pictured left) turns out to likely by an "ancestor to lemurs." One point in the AOL piece not to miss is how anxious MSM and evolution suckers were to believe a lie:
In the weeks leading up to Ida's May 19 museum debut, the media frenzy intensified. A&E purchased the rights to make a documentary about Ida, and ABC News signed a deal for an exclusive interview with Hurum to appear on Good Morning America, Nightline and World News With Diane Sawyer. Little Brown & Co. bought the publishing rights, and, according to The New York Times, pre-shipped 110k copies of the book, which, like A&E's film, is titled The Link.
NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg and British television nature host David Attenborough attended the ceremony at the American Museum of Natural History, which was sponsored by the History Channel....
I guess I do believe some humans can evolve into lemmings.

"The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." "Nobody is Good except God." Is the author disputing the words of the Bible?
Kenneth Page Oakley and Joseph Weiner discovered the hoax of Piltdown man and neither of them were American religious nutcases, but were serious scientists who saw that Piltdown man could never fit into any anthropological table.
Piltdown man had been doubted for many years by serious scientists and the doubters were virtually all evolutionists. They proved it was a hoax scientifically and not through using the tooth fairy legend.
is saying Christianity is a big ol' lie because of evolution ? Well, make those connections if you want but you're hurting your own religion .
Maybe knowing something about evolution first would help, you know, rather than being completely ignorant.
What this woman will do for a sawbuck will make your eyes invert in your skull...
I am absolutely positive she has no regard for the factuality of her claims and bases her comments purely on what she thinks will get her the most response from the tools looking for pundits that agree with them and everyone else that can not suffer fools gladly on websites like this.
Evolution is more strongly supported now than ever since Origin' was first published, and really was never so politicized for most of the first century of it's existence as a theory. Global Warming has been politicized since its initial public offering. While the latter had environmental activists to muck everything up in the media (amongst other things, of course), the former relied mostly on scientists and academics.
Even if either were a hoax (look that word up, Stanek) this comparison would be pretty flimsy.
Calling names is ok around here if you tow the PC line.
From someone who throws terms like idiot and evil at those who you disagree with this bit is rather ironic.
if you fail to consider how often liberal pansies have used the report function to censor me, and how often you liberal atheists call names and insult me with my cheerful permission.
I was merely pointing out the Hypocrisy of the godless left here.
I did see that some of your posts were reported a ways back... and I recall wondering what you said to get your posts removed.
However just because someone flags your post does not mean that it is automatically removed. I believe that one of the editors has to go in and delete it.
Usually name calling is a sign of frustration or that the person does not have a good retort... it does not excuse the use of such language elsewhere.
At least I'm not hypocritical about that. I don't report because I don't need any help, and I think that it's the mark of a real pansy to report. especially when they only report the actions of their opposition.
One who preaches the same rubbish as an American religious snake oil salesman is no form of opposition to the results of scientific research carried out by serious scientists.
The idiom infers timidness.
My cleverly worded description is, I hope, blatantly trying to emphasive by way of obnoxious euphamism. Calling Stanek a whore is not a timid way of criticising her pandering.
Honestly, I don't think so little of a honest prostitute as I do this blathering idiot.
