YEC'ers ask Darwinism: it was all in the family?

[Justtristo]

One of my guilty pleasures is reading through the articles on the Creation Ministries (CMI) website and going to the occasional seminars they hold in my part of the world. I am looking forward to a CMI event with Jonathan Sarfati speaking being held in Melbourne in April.

However articles like this makes me wonder what they are smoking. Because I want what they are smoking.

These articles aren't for the sane, you need to be a little unhinged like me in order to enjoy their borderline poe quality.

And this means that Evolution is not true?

[Doubting Thomas]

Of course. Charles Darwin just made up the idea of evolution in order to turn people away from God. Haven't you been keeping up?

I've never understood why certain Christians absolutely cannot reconcile evolution with their fatith while others seem to have no problem doing so. In that last paragraph they even call it an 'anti-God' theory.

I think they are trying to say that the Darwin family was..I dont know...genteically atheist, and the wanted to spread that atheism with evolution?

CMI has always been three sheets to the right of http://www.conservapedia.com anyways.

I can understand why, especially when you think about the philosophical consequences of evolution by natural selection. Especially the challenge evolution has brought to Biblical Christianity, which believes humans were somehow a special creation of god separate from the rest of creation.

Also some biblical Christians take a very literal view of Genesis where humans are portrayed as being "morally perfect" and either spiritually and/or physically immortal. According to this viewpoint death only enters into humanity and land dwelling vertebrates (along with sea mammals) after the fall.

However the reality is that we are just another species of animal and our evolutionary history influences things like morality and so forth. So I fully agree with Richard Dawkins that the publication of the Origin of the Species made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.
