Rationalists realize that the science of evolution no longer stacks up. Their strategy for keeping their theory alive is to get so many non-scientists believing it that it becomes politically incorrect to oppose it.
So they’ve enlisted the emotional impact of mass media. TV spectaculars filmed amidst glorious scenery and dramatically scripted are presented with infectious, even breathless enthusiasm by personable PhDs. They never speak down to us like a teacher – instead they make us feel we’re on an exciting journey of discovery with them.
As ‘warm fuzzies’ sweep over us, presenters weave a tale based not on science, but on imagining that if two species have similar features one must be descended from the other. Of course, the similarities could equally be evidence of a common designer – but why spoil their story. Imaginary links between species are presented as facts along with the dogma that ‘it all took millions of years.’
The ‘cold prickly’ truth, however, is that real science has only observed mutations that lose information. So the evolutionists’ idea that the extra information needed to make simple species more complex came from mutations that all lose information, is either absurd arithmetic, or more miraculous than creation by an intelligent being.
Nevertheless, rationalists insist that everything evolved and the nature of existence is purely biochemical. There is nothing spiritual. There is no God. When you’re dead, you’re dead. There is no afterlife.
As we shall see in the section on Axiology, those rationalist beliefs about the nature of existence have had a devastating impact on their value system and on the communities they have influenced.
Rationalists sometimes bluster that they don’t need the ‘crutch’ of religion. Yet they are utterly dependent on their religious fervour for the broken crutch of evolution. They keep repeating their mantra that ‘life evolved’ despite the complete inability of evolutionary theory to explain how.
