The definition of hell is being condescended to by idiots. It will probably be MSNBCs Chris Matthews and Contessa Brewer sneering at you for all of eternity for not believing in evolution.
Roughly one-third of my 2007 No. 1 New York Times best-seller Godless: The Church of Liberalism is an attack on liberals creation myth Darwinian evolution. I presented the arguments of all the luminaries in the field from the retarded Richard Dawkins to the brilliant Francis Crick and disputed them.
But apparently liberals didnt want to argue back.
Despite Matthews obsessive fixation on the topic manifested by his constantly asking elected Republicans if they believe in evolution in a one-hour interview with me on Godless -- the very book that is chockablock with attacks on Darwinism -- Matthews didnt ask me a single question about the subject.
No liberal did. Matthews doesnt even know what evolution is.
Just a year later at a 2008 Republican presidential candidates debate Matthews asked for a show of hands of who believed in evolution. No discussion permitted! That might allow scientific facts rather than schoolyard taunts to escape into the world.
Evolution is the only subject that is discussed exclusively as a Do you believe? question with yes-or-no answers. How about conservative journalists start putting mikes in front of liberal candidates and demanding Do you believe in the Bible -- yes or no? Is an unborn baby human -- yes or no? and Do you believe teenagers should have sex -- yes or no?
This is the flash mob method of scientific inquiry. Liberals quickly surround and humiliate anyone who disagrees with them. They are baffled when appeals to status (which would work on them) dont work on everyone else.
Now that Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has said there are gaps in the theory of evolution -- or gas as The New York Times originally reported before issuing a correction -- were in for another round of fact-free mocking of fundamentalist nuts.
In fact however it has not been advances in Christianity (which is pretty much settled) but in science that have completely discredited Darwins theory of evolution.
This week we will consider one small slice of the mountain of scientific evidence disproving this mystery religion from the Victorian age.
Most devastating for the Darwiniacs were advances in microbiology since Darwins time revealing infinitely complex mechanisms requiring hundreds of parts working together at once -- complex cellular structures DNA blood-clotting mechanisms molecules and the cells tiny flagellum and cilium.
Darwins theory was that life on Earth began with single-celled life forms which by random mutation sex and death would pass on the desirable mutations and this process over billions of years would lead to the creation of new species.
The (extremely generous) test Darwin set for his theory was this: If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications my theory would absolutely break down.
Thanks to advances in microscopes thousands of such complex mechanisms have been found since Darwins day. He had to explain only simple devices such as beaks and gills. If Darwin were able to come back today and peer through a modern microscope to see the inner workings of a cell he would instantly abandon his own theory.
It is a mathematical impossibility for example that all 30 to 40 parts of the cells flagellum -- forget the 200 parts of the cilium! -- could all arise at once by random mutation. According to most scientists such an occurrence is considered even less likely than John Edwards marrying Rielle Hunter the ground zero of the impossible.
Nor would each of the 30 to 40 parts individually make an organism more fit to survive and reproduce which you will recall is the lynchpin of the whole contraption.
As Michael Behe biochemist and author of Darwins Black Box explains even a mechanism as simple as a three-part mousetrap requires all three parts to be working together at once. Otherwise you dont get a mousetrap that catches half as many mice -- and thus might win a survival of the fittest competition -- you dont get a mousetrap at all.
The more we have learned about molecules cells and DNA -- a body of knowledge some refer to as science -- the more preposterous Darwins theory has become. DNA is as Bill Gates says like a computer program but far far more advanced than any software weve ever created. (Plus DNA doesnt usually crash when youre right in the middle of reproducing.)
Evolution fanatics would rather not be called on to explain these complex mechanisms that Darwin himself said would disprove his theory.
Instead they make jokes about people who know the truth. They say that to dispute evolution means you must believe man walked with dinosaurs.
Galileos persecutors probably had some good guffaws about him believing in Fred Flintstone.
This is why the brighter Darwiniacs end up sounding like Scientologists in order to cling to their mystery religion.
Crick winner of the Nobel Prize for his co-discovery of DNA hypothesized that highly intelligent extraterrestrials sent living cells to Earth on an unmanned spaceship a theory he set forth in his 1981 book Life Itself.
Thus was God narrowly averted!
But Cricks solution obviously begs the question: How did the highly intelligent extraterrestrials evolve?
Harvard population biologist Richard Lewontin said the Darwiniacs tolerate unsubstantiated just-so stories of evolution and ignore the patent absurdity of some of its constructs because they are committed to coming up with a theory that excludes God. We cannot Lewontin said allow a divine foot in the door.
Maybe if we called the Intelligent Designer Louis Vuitton to avoid frightening the Godphobics theyd finally admit the truth: Modern science has disproved Darwinian evolution.
