Evolution?
Mainstream Science
Paradigm paralysis
Powerful naturalists imposed their worldview called
naturalism on the world of mainstream science since the 19th century.
This went hand in hand with the rise of materialism in this world.
Students around the world are being
taught to accept naturalism as the de facto axiom of
science.
Therefore most people blindly accept the naturalistic dogma without question and without further thought.
People with other worldviews or who think outside the
narrow-minded box of materialism run the risk of being expelled by the
evolutionary establishment which is in control of the world of mainstream science.
Here are some examples of mainstream science organizations and their statements...
NCSE
NCSE - Evolution
There is no scientific debate about the fundamentals of evolution. Life evolves; species descend with modifications from other species.
There is no scientific debate about the fundamentals of evolution. Life evolves; species descend with modifications from other species.
Macroevolution is not even
science. Nobody ever observed one life form change into another.
Common ancestry and
macroevolution are based on the unprovable philosophy
naturalism. Science can not even offer a definition of a species as is evidenced by the
species problem.
That means that evolutionists who talk so much about speciation, i.e. macroevolution, don't really know what they're talking about.
NCSE - What is Evolution?
Evolution accounts for the striking patterns of similarities and differences among living things over time and across habitats through the action of biological processes such as natural selection, mutation, symbiosis, gene transfer, and genetic drift.
Evolution accounts for the striking patterns of similarities and differences among living things over time and across habitats through the action of biological processes such as natural selection, mutation, symbiosis, gene transfer, and genetic drift.
Using similarities and differences to support a worldview is part of
metaphysics, not of
science.
Metaphysics is part of
philosophy.
Similarities might just as well be called evidence for common design.
So because there exists no scientific evidence for the fundamentals of evolution theory evolutionists resort to
Father Time. But incredible amounts of unobservable time make evolution theory even more unscientific.
NCSE - Frequently Asked Questions about NCSE
The National Center for Science Education is not affiliated with any religious organization or belief.
The National Center for Science Education is not affiliated with any religious organization or belief.
Evolution theory is based on the unprovabe philosophies
naturalism and
uniformitarianism which have to be taken by
faith. Evolution is the
religion of the
atheists. People who write such statements at NCSE are truly blind.
NCSE - What We Do
NCSE defends the integrity of science education against ideological interference. We work with teachers, parents, scientists, and concerned citizens at the local, state, and national levels to ensure that topics including evolution and climate change are taught accurately, honestly, and confidently.

Everybody who knows the basics of evolution and
science knows that NCSE does not defend the integrity of
science and does not teach topics related to origins honestly. It is an obvious
lie from this deceitful organization run by
naturalists and atheists who have an agenda which is about
power. This is obvious...

One of the main goals of these kind of mainstream science organizations is to oppose all other worldviews that challenge evolution.
By only allowing evolution theory as an explanation for everything they openly undermine objectivity in
science. This is part of
paradigm paralysis.

NAS is just another fanatic pro-evolution organization. It even serves as an advisory organ for the
United States government which is of course high on mindless
materialism and
capitalism.
Birds of a feather flock together.
NAS - In the News: Your Inner Fish – A Scientific Adventure
Have you ever wondered why people look the way they do? Why our hands and feet have five digits instead of six? Why we stand on two legs instead of four? It took 350 million years of evolution to produce the amazing machine we call the human body and in Your Inner Fish, a three-part series based on the best-selling book of the same name, author and evolutionary biologist Dr. Neil Shubin looks into the past to answer these and other questions.

AAAS
AAAS - Evolution on the Front Line
The earth’s present-day life forms appear to have evolved from common ancestors reaching back to the simplest onecell organisms almost four billion years ago. Modern ideas of evolution provide a scientific explanation for three main sets of observable facts about life on earth: the enormous number of different life forms we see about us, the systematic similarities in anatomy and molecular chemistry we see within that diversity, and the sequence of changes in fossils found in successive layers of rock that have been formed over more than a billion years. Since the beginning of the fossil record, many new life forms have appeared, and most old forms have disappeared.

Since the beginning of the fossil record, many new life forms have appeared, and most old forms have disappeared.
This little piece of text reveals the misleading
half-truths and
unscientific statements of mainstream science organizations like AAAS. They also invoke
Father Time. Of course billions of years is merely based on the unprovable philosophy
uniformitarianism. Using similarities is part of
metaphysics and has nothing to do with
science. The beginning of the fossil record started with the
Cambrian explosion after which no new phyla emerged, contrary to the statement of AAAS.
Microevolution caused variety within those kinds.
AAAS - Science, Teachers and Clergy Strengthen Bonds at AAAS Evolution Event
...high schools are required to teach the scientific consensus in any field. Evolution is the overwhelming scientific consensus... The panelists suggested a number of helpful websites: The University of California Museum of Paleontology; The Talk.Origins collection of articles and essays that offer a mainstream scientific view on evolution and creationism; The Panda's Thumb; And the Clergy Letter project which offers a mainstream religious explanation of how evolution and faith can co-exist.

The overwhelming scientific consensus is like the
argument from authority.
It says absolutely nothing about the truth of the matter. The
science will be unnecessarily
biased by it.
Paradigm shifts also show that the scientific consensus has always been wrong more or less.
Science is limited and has little power when it comes to origins
because it is necessarily based on assumptions and philosophy.
A good philosopher is worth much more than thousand good scientists who base their conclusions on
bad philosophy.
In order to promote the evolutionary gospel they only reference other fanatic pro-evolution organizations
which are sponsored by those mainstream science organizations themselves. It's only more of the same.
Birds of a feather flock together.
It is one big family of self-proclaimed monkey descendents devoted to their
common incest tree. AAAS calls itself
"The World's Largest General Scientific Society". Pretty much like the
Catholic Church is the mother of all pagan Christianity.
Talk Origins' True Origin
Talk.Origins
Talk.origins is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to the discussion and debate of biological and physical origins. Most discussions in the newsgroup center on the creation/evolution controversy, but other topics of discussion include the origin of life, geology, biology, catastrophism, cosmology and theology. The TalkOrigins Archive is a collection of articles and essays, most of which have appeared in talk.origins at one time or another. The primary reason for this archive's existence is to provide mainstream scientific responses to the many frequently asked questions (FAQs) that appear in the talk.origins newsgroup and the frequently rebutted assertions of those advocating intelligent design or other creationist pseudosciences.

Organizations like Talk.Origins and
Panda's Thumb are supported by and represent
mainstream science organizations who are pro-evolution by definition.
They offer a plethora of pro-evolution websites heavily supported by powerful mainstream science organizations.
The sources they offer are all fanatic pro-evolution and
atheist sources.
This is like going to a mosque in Saudi Arabia and ask the imam for evidence of the truth of
Islam. Pro-evolution organizations like to give each other praise and recognition.

Naturalism is an unprovable philosophy based on
faith.
Macroevolution is unobservable and therefore not
science.
Evidence for evolution is either merely evidence for
microevolution or it is based on
metaphysics. With the
naturalistic hegemony evolutionists undermine objectivity in science.
True Origin is a creationist organization that helps bring these simple and basic facts to light
because the world of mainstream science tries to hide them.
True.Origin - Homepage
Advocates of evolutionary theory practice evolutionism when they routinely invoke (and dogmatically defend) naturalistic and humanistic philosophical presuppositions, and arbitrarily apply those presuppositions to their interpretation of the available empirical data. ... Contrary to the unilateral denials of many evolutionists, one’s worldview does indeed play heavily on one’s interpretation of scientific data, a phenomenon that is magnified in matters concerning origins, where neither repeatability, nor observation, nor measurement - the three immutable elements of the scientific method - may be employed. Many proponents of evolutionism nevertheless persist in claiming exclusive “scientific” status for their popularized beliefs, while heaping out-of-hand dismissal and derision upon all doubters, spurning the very advice of Darwin himself.

For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which facts cannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I arrived.

True Origin - Talk.Origins: Deception by Omission
Talk.Origins (TO) is very hard to target - a fact that may be so by design. For example, if a person disagrees with TO on the ‘fact of evolution’, these people will employ a definition of evolution [“Biological evolution is a change in the genetic characteristics of a population over time”] that makes it impossible to disagree and, if one does argue, then that person comes across as being uninformed or irrational or fanatical. This might be acceptable if only it remained right there. But it doesn’t! ... That statement about evolution (which happens to be accurate, i.e., genetic characteristics of populations do vary over time) is subsequently modified/extended throughout TO’s many articles and feedback responses so that not only is the person to accept the (empirically corroborated) fact of change, but also that this change is the sole causing agent for the diversity and complexity within an organism (internal organs, cellular structures, etc.) as well as outside of the organism including Earth’s entire flora and fauna. The metaphysical extrapolation of the data that is required to accomplish this feat is somehow missed by TO - either by ignorance or by design.

True Origin mentions that evolutionists don't make a clear distinction between
micro- and
macroevolution and simply refer to evolution in general.
This gives them the opportunity to use evidence for microevolution as evidence for macroevolution.
This is not only a very unscientific way of working, it is certainly also dishonest and misleading.
In reality the two mechanisms are fundamentally different.
Conservapedia - The Panda's Thumb (blog)
The Panda's Thumb is a blog run by evolutionists, many of whom are associated with the NCSE or other evolutionist endeavors such as TalkOrigins. Panda's Thumb is often used as a "reliable source" at Wikipedia for articles related to intelligent design, creation science, and evolution despite not meeting Wikipedia's official, binding policy on verifiability regarding blogs. The NCSE also cites the Panda's Thumb as though it were an unaffiliated reliable source. Panda's Thumb is owned by the same group that owns TalkOrigins.
