Ooooh dear, here's a letter to the editor in my newspaper today

[LarissaAnn]

Yeah this was literally in our newspaper today....

To the editor — If it weren’t so sad it would be laughable. The old story of the king who had no clothes is a play on this reality. The human mind has the ability to deceive itself in order to avoid a painful truth.

The painful truth that man has always tried to avoid is there is a God in heaven who he is accountable to. The Elwha River ecosystem is snapping back at a rapid pace, so the Yakima Herald-Republic tells us with a Seattle Times article on Aug. 17. But why should that happen if only blind chance moves the universe?

Oh, you say, the plants and animals have DNA that guides them to return to form. Isn’t DNA information? Where did the information come from? Can information invent itself? Consider, when I turn to the Internet my basic sense tells me someone designed this, someone put this information in here.

Darwinian evolution truly is the king with no clothes merrily strutting down the street while all the common folk laugh him to scorn.

Of course through his own words the irony just writes itself:

The human mind has the ability to deceive itself in order to avoid a painful truth.
