bUT HE'S PERPLEXING BECAUE HE REALLY SEEMO THINK THAT DARWINISM HAS BEEN PROVEN AND IT REALLY HASN'T.gE SEEMS TO THINK THAT BECAUSE NATURAL SELECTION MIGHT EXPLAIN THE APPEARANCE OF DESIGN IN NATURE THAT THEREFORE IT DOES EXPLAIN IT, AS IF IT HAD BEEN PROVED, BUT IT HASN'T. aLL HE'S EVER SAID IS THAT IT EXPLAINS IT BUT HE HASN'T EVER SOWN ONE IOTA OF ACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT IT HAS DONE SO. iT REMAINS A PLAUSIBLE POSSIBILITY AND NO MORE THAN THAT BUT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO RECOGNIZE THAT FACT.
iT SOUNDS PLAUSIBLE ENOUGH i SUPPOSE BUT IF i THIHNK ABOUT IT SERIOUSLY FOR A WHLIE i REALIZE THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, NATURAL SELECTION CAN'T CRETE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS DESIGNED. aND AGAIN THERE ISN'T A TSHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT IT COULD OR DOES. tHERE IS JUST A STRING OF PLAUSIBILITIES THAT SEEM LESS AND LESS PLAUSIBLE AS i THINK ABOUT THEM.
bUT THERE IS NO ANSWERING THIS SORT OF THING, IT'S SELF JUSTIFYING AND UNANSWERABLE, UNFALSIFIBLE TO USE pOPPER'S TERM. yETR HE THINKS HE'S GOOT ACTUAL PROOF SOMEWHOW. hE'LL SPEND LONG SESSIONS SHOWING HOW mOUNT piMPROBABLE IS TO BE CLIMBED SLOWLY AROUND AND AROUND RATHER THAN STRAIGHT UP WITHOUT SHOWING THAT IN FACT THAT'S EVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED AS AN EVOLUTIONARY PATTERM. hE LIKES ANALOGIES LIKE THE BLIND WATCHMAKER BUT HE REALLY NEVER GETS AWAY FROM MERE ANALOGY INTO ACTUAL FACT. nEVER. aND HE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW IT. hE CALLS IT ALL FACT WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION.
lATER: aS i GO ON LISTENING TO THE LATEST INTERVIEW WITH dAWKINS i FIND HIM AGAIN COMPLAINIHNG THAT THE oLD TESTAMENT IS AN EVIL BOOK AND THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYONE WHO LIVED BY ITS MORALITY.
sIGH
fIRST OF ALL NOBODY RECOMMENDS LIVING BY THE oLD tESTAMENT LEAST OF ALL THE oLD TESTAMENT ITSELF. iT IS A HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE iSRAL AND OF THEIR DEALINGS WITH THEIR gOD. sOMETIMES A HISTORY IS GIVEN TO SHOW A MODEL BY WHICH TO LIVE BUT OFTEN IT REVEALS SINS AND ERRORS AS A WARNING not TO LIVE BY THEM.
hOWEVER, HE IS AGAIN LISTING THE LAWS OF iSRAEL NOT JUST THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE, AND HE THINKS THE LAW OF STONING TO DEATH SOEONE FOR BREAKING THE sABBATH IS A HORROR OF INJUSTICE, AS IS STONE WITCHES TO DEATH, AND "PERSECUTING" HOMOSEXUALS. i DN'T KNOW WHERE ANYONE IS SEEN TO BE PERSPECTUIGNT HOMOSEXUALS IN THE ot, BUT THERE IS A LAW FORBVIDDEN THE HOMOSEXUAL ACT AND THE SENTENCE FOR THAT IS PROBABLY DEATH THOUGH i DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT PASSAGE.
sO.
sIGH.
wE ARE NJOT A THEOCRACY, WE cHRISTIANS ARE NOT A THEOCRACY, iSRAEL WAS A THEOCRACY THOUGH IT ISN'T TODAY. iN THE oLD tESTAMETN iSRAEL WAS A THEOCRACY AND THE LAWS WERE GIVEN BY gOD. aND WE COULD, IF WE WERE WISE, LEARN FROM THOSE LAWS, THAT CERTAIN ACTS ARE TRULY THE ABOMJINATIONS THAT DESERVE THE PUNISHEMENTS THEY ARE GIVEN THERE. nOT THAT WE ARE TO ENACT THOSE PUNISHEMTNS, WE ARE NOT, WE ARE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DISPENSATION, BUT WE could LEARN THT THEY DESERVE THEM, THTA BREAKING THE sABBATH WAS A HORRENDOUS EVIL IN THE CONTEXT OF iSRAEL'S CULTURE, AND SO WAS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT. tHE sABBATH IS A PICTURE OF THE REST gOD OFFERS TO THOSE WHO KNOW hIM AND LIVE BY hIM, A REST TO BE BOUGHT BY THE BLOOD OF THE mESSIAH YET TO COME, WHO IS PROPHESIED INDIRECTLY IN THE LAW OF THE sABBATH. dAWKINS WOULD HAVE NO SENSE OF ANY OF THAT AND COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT IT SINCE HE RESFUESE TO BELIEVE ANYH OF IT ANYWAY. bUT IT IS A HIGH RTTREASON TO BREAK THE LAW OF THE sABBATH IN THE CONTEXT GIVEN. dAWKINS IS JUST THE USUAL SIMPLETON WELL i GUESS i SHOULDN'T CALL HIM A SIMPLETON, BUT HE'S JUDGING BY HIS OWN MODERN CULTURURAL CONTEXT WHICH IS USUALLY CONSIDERED TO BE A BIG MISTAKE BY SOPHSITCATED PEOPLE AND YES, SCIENTIESTS. tHE sABBATH IS A TRIVIAL OBSERVANCE IN MODERN bRITAIN, CARRYING NONE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE oLD tESTAMENT lAW.
aND OF COURSE HE HAS NNO FEELING FOR THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, WHICH IS THE CONSORTING WITH DEMONS. oF COURSE DEMONS DON'T EXIST FOR HIM SO IT'S EASY FOR HIM TO P[OOH THE POH THE WHOLE THING AS A BIG NOTHING. bUT THERE ARE REALLY DEMONS, AND AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY BELIEVED IN THEM AND THEY SHOW UP THROUGHOUT THE GOSPELS IN THE nEW TESTGAMENT AS WELL, NOT VERY NICE SPIRTIT BEINGS WHO HATE HUMANITY AND PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE HURTFUL TO US THT WE ASCRIBE TO UOTHER CAUSES. cONSORTING WITH DEMONS ALSO DRAWS PEOPLE AWA Y FROMTHE TRUTE cgOD WHO IS THEIR PROTECTOR AND GIVER OF ALL GOOD THIJGS, AND THEY WOULD LEAD EVERYBODY TO hELL. yOU MGIHT WANT TO AVOID DEMONS IF YOU CAN, mR. dAWKINS., BUT OF COURSE THEYH ARE VERY HAPPY WITH HYOU BECAUSE YOU DON'T RATTLE THEIR CAGES AT ALL SINCE YOU DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THEY EXIST. uNFORTNATELY SOME DAY YOU WILL FIND OUT THEYU DO AND i PRAY YOU WILL HAVE FOUND cHRIST AND BEEN SAVED BEFORE YOU DO.
i SUSPECT HOMOSEXUALITY HAS A DEMONIC ORIGI BYSELF, AS A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR THE DEATH PENALTY THERE BUT AT LEAST A VIOLATION OF THE NORMAL SEXUAL PATTERN HAS A CORRUPTING EFFECT ON THE COMMUNITY. wHEN IT IS A THEOCRACY AND TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON gOD AND ONE ANOTHER AS THEY WERE BACK THERN. tHAT'S MY THJOUGHT ON THAT SUBJECT. wE ARE NOT ENJOINED TO PUNISH HOMSEXUALS TODAY. aLTHOUGH WE'D BE A LOT BETTER OFF i SUSPECT WIF WE DIDN'T GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO PARADE DOWN OUR STREETS SHOWING OFF THEIR ABERRATION FOR ALL TO SUPPOSEDLY ADMIRE. that IS A CUPORRUPTING INFLUENCE ON THE COMMUNITY WE COULD WELL DO WITHOUT. aS IS ALL THIS TRANSGENDER HORROR OF THE MUTILATION OF CHILDREN AND SO ON, WHICH i THINK YOU DO OBJECT TO, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT MUCH.
aS HE GOES ON i AM REMINDED THAT HE NATURALLY THINKS cATHOLICISM IS cHRISTIANITY. hE POINTS TO THE mIDDLE aGES AS A TIME IN cHRISTIANITY AS A TIME IN cHRISTIANITY WHEN WE WERE SUPPOSEDLY DOINT ALL THE SAME ATROCITIES THAT ISLAM DOES, AND i SUPPOSE THAT IS RIGHT IF YOU ARE TALKINGA BOUT cATHOLICISM BUT cATHOLICISM REALLY IS NOT cHRISTAINITY, WHICH IS WHAT THE pROTESTANT rEFORMERS FINALLY DISCOVERED WHEN THEY TRIED TO REFORM IT. THEY DISCOVERED THAT IT IS THE aNTICHRIST SYSTEM, THAT THE pOP HOIMSELF IS the aNTICHRIST, AND THEY PROVED IT FROM SCRIPTURE. cATHOLICISM MAINTAINES ENOUGH OF THE BIBLICAL TEACHING TO GIVE IT A VENEER OF cHRISTIANITY AND EVRYBODY FALLS FOR THAT, NOT THE LEAST BEING THOSE WHO ARE BORN INTO IT AND ARE OF COURSE LOYAL TO IT FOR THAT REASON AND THINK IT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF CHRISTIANITY. aLTHOUGH IT IS REALLY A DISTORTED FORM OF cHRISTIANITY WHICH DOESN'T EVEN TEACH THE WAY TO GET SAVED, AND HAS ACCUMJULATED ALL THE PAGAN TRAPPINGS OF THE PAGAN RELIGIONS OF ROME WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH cHRISTIANITY.
tHAT'S NOT dAWKINS' FAULT BUT i WISH HE HAD SPENT MORE TIME EDUCATING HIMSELF ON THSE THINGS BEFORE HE CAME OUT SWINGING AGAINST ALL OF cHRISTINAITY.
\
tHE rOMAN cHURCH IS STILL THE SAME CHURCH IS TWAS IN THE mIDDLE aGES, IT'S JUST GONE UNDERGOUNRD AS IT WERE BECAUSE O THE pROTESTANT rEFORMATION WHICH GAVE IT A GHUGE SMACKDOWN THAT DESTROYED THE POWER IT HAD HELD THROUGH OUT THAT MEDIEVAL PERIOD. IT IS STILL REELING FROM THAT SMACKDOWN ALTHOUGH IT IS SLOWLY MAKING INROADS AND MAY EVENTUALLY RECAPTURE THAT LOST POWER. IT CERTAINLY WILL IN THE VERY LAST DAYS WHEN THE aNTICHRIST WILL ONCE AGAIN RULE THE WORLD AND THE LIKES OF A dAWKINS WILL BE PUT TO DEATH FOR MERELY BEING A cULTURAL cHRISTAIN. tHE iNQUISITION NEVER WENT AWAY, IT IS QUIETLY SIMMERING AWAY BENEATH THE SURFACE, NEVER REPUDICATED, NEVER REFORMED. IT IS EVEN STILL PRACTICED I sOUTH aMERICAN IN SOME PARTS. IT WAS NEVER CONFINED MERELY TO THE sPANISH iNQUISITION BUT SPREAD OVER eUROPE KILLING AND PERSECUTING SOE FIFTY MILLION DISSIDENT TRUE cHRIATIANTNS IN A PERIOD OF ABOUT SIX HOUNDRED EARS.
