In reply to David Martin (Letters SFT 9/6/11): For a letter entitled “fact of life”, it contained a surprisingly large proportion of fiction. It promoted the religion of “evolution”, claiming that our existence is due to an unintended, unplanned and accidental process. I say religion, as it is unobservable, unsupported by evidence, and violates scientific laws. Life does not come from non-life; big bangs make big messes, not ordered universes; and frogs do not turn into princes.
So why do otherwise intelligent people put their faith in this elaborate fairytale? Evolutionist, Sir Arthur Keith, provides the answer: “Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.” The evolutionist would believe anything, no matter how ridiculous, except the truth that there is a Creator to whom he must give account. The Bible portrays man as created in God’s image, given dominion over creation, and commanded to subdue it, while evolution sees man as just another species who happens to sit at the top of the food chain. People are free to believe what they want, but these ideas become dangerous, even lethal, when a society puts them into practice.
Marx, Lenin and Stalin established their communism upon Darwinism. Hitler’s concept of the Übermensch master race, adapted from Nietzsche, found its basis in Darwinian evolution. No evolutionist can legitimately criticise the actions of Hitler or Stalin who saw themselves as facilitators of natural selection. An evolutionary world-view supports racism, eugenics, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality and moral relativism. If people are taught that they are nothing more than beasts, then it ought not to surprise us when they act like them. In our own region we are beginning to feel the effects of this world-view as governments become more and more influenced by environmental socialism. The welfare of cattle now outweighs the welfare of graziers. Flying foxes are now more important than the orchardists whose crops they destroy. Vegetation on private land cannot be cleared and used because koala bears take precedence over farmers’ livelihoods. And this is just the beginning. Mr Martin believes that humanity has become too successful and is now a malignant cancer, but he does not provide us with a solution to this cancer of humanity. However, Jacques Cousteau was candid enough to state what is needed when he said in 1991, “In order to stabilise world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.” In a similar vein, Prince Philip once said, “If I were to be reincarnated, I would wish to return to earth as a killer virus to lower population levels.” Mr Martin’s wish for the reduction of population and elimination of capitalism may come true now that the Greens have balance of power in the Senate.
