"Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism (Evolution), Marxism (Communism), Nietzsche-ism (Socialism). To us Jews, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the GOYIM." [from Protocol 2 of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zionism - emphasis added]
"Disintegrating importance" indeed! It's impossible to calculate just how much Christianity, the bedrock of western civilization, and therefore western civilization itself, was shaken by Darwin's theory of evolution. The existence of life, the miracle that could for millennium only be attributable to supernatural cause had been the bolt hole of all transcendental philosophies. If Christianity had an enemy with an implacable hatred toward it (which it did), a more destructive weapon could not be imagined. The theory of evolution had to have been as encouraging to atheists as as a fiery cross in the sky would have been to Christians.
Curiously, most people have heard of Darwin's madcap theory, believe in it because the so called experts have declared it case closed, but very few take the time to subject it to more than cursory scrutiny, because if they did they would become aware of why it has been termed "a theory in crisis" (Evolutions: a Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton) and as more people woke up to this it would be cast straight back to the time of the famous Scopes Trial of 1925 (The State of Tennessee V John Thomas Scope) probably better known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, or even into the garbage can of crackpot science. The media though, knowing a sensational story when they saw one, presented it as a battle royal between Science and Religion.
The trial, after being fought out with big legal guns on both side, resulted in Scopes being found guilty of transgressing the law against teaching evolution and was fined $100. However the finding was overturned on a technicality. Oddly, the theory was virtually dead in the water until being resuscitated by the trial, perhaps not unintentional, as Scopes wasn't even sure he had been teaching evolution but was not averse to a landmark trial guaranteed to attract as much attention as a circus arriving in a small town. And it was a definite turning point given that the theory now with a second wind as it were then went from strength to strength - in similar inverse proportion to the decline of Christianity. There is after all only two real alternatives: creation or evolution - life arriving from another world being a non-starter as it simply pushes the question further back.

But does evolution genuinely explain life in all its forms, especially human life, or has the wool been pulled over our eyes? Was Darwin from his vantage point in 1859 when Origin of Species was first published, really in position to know enough, and was science developed enough for him to be able offer a convincing amount data. True science, it should be remembered, is of the empirical kind, a process whereby an experiment can demonstrate the same result repeatedly. Obviously, proving the theory of evolution by this method would be exceedingly difficult, although later Darwinists have claimed success, or rather, claimed to have seen it demonstrated in nature at an accelerated rate. More on this to come.
To give just one example to suggest both he and science weren't exactly at the top of their game, the single living cell was then considered simply a microscopic blob of protoplasym. Charles would no doubt have been flumoxed to learn that one of these tiny "blobs" contained as much information as a decent sized municipal library. This alone casts a long shadow over a theory that insists that a non-teleological process reached its pinnacle in man by miniscule incremental mutations. Even the evolution of an eye by this process, which incidentally as a partly developed mechanism would probably have been worse than useless in the great game of the survival of the fittest, pales into significance when compared to the working, networking and reproduction of this microscopic repository of immense information.
THE MISSING LINK Yes, the famous missing link. Something akin to the Scarlet Pimpernel, they seek it here, they seek it there, they seek it everywhere. Whether or not the highly sought after Scarlet Pimpernel was ever found is unknown to this writer but what is known beyond a doubt is that the missing link - not only between man and ape but between any two species - has never been found and in all probability will never be found. Each time the flag has been proudly raised, and this has happened on many occasions, it has had to be ignominiously lowered again. Archaeopteryx was a famous example of this. Here at last was an unequivocal ML. With the same uncontrollable excitement in which Doctor Frankenstein uttered the words, "it lives", evolutionists exclaimed "it exists", pointing to the fossil evidence of the transitional form between dinosaur and bird. Unfortunately and humiliatingly for them, under closer examination it was found to simply have been a bird.
Another fantastic breakthrough was when the first Australopithecine Africanus (Southern Apeman) was uncovered. Evidence seem to point to AA being an ape that walked, ergo .... However, along comes zoologist Solly Zuckerman who, if he'd read the Protocols, may have kept his mouth shut but he didn't. On considering AA's teeth, jaws, the size of the brain - determined by plaster casts of the interior of the scull - and probably most importantly the carriage of the head, decidedly similar to that of apes that walk on all four, concluded that AA was just an extinct ape. *
But talk about persistence! In 1974 Donald Johanson and his side-kick, Tom Gray struck pay dirt with and almost complete hominid skeleton that came to be named "Lucy" whose restored form now stands upright and looking all but human except for the head in a glass case in London's Natural History Museum. Spoiler alert. Lucy was just another, albeit more complete AA. That Zuckerman had already lifted the lid on AAs, was completely and conveniently ignored.
As promised, the evidence for speeded up, observable natural selection: the finches observed by Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. Darwin noted that because of different types of food to be found on the different islands, finches living on those islands developed beaks appropriate to consuming the food. However, this can easily be explained by the proven existence of a "sleeping" gene that wakes up when adaptation to environment is needed. All species appear to have this measure of elasticity but it has its limits. So far, and no more. This has been shown graphically in man's meddling with dog breeding. The more eccentric the breed of dog produced, the more it becomes less fit for survival rather than the reverse. For example, bulldogs and similar breeds with pushed in faces have difficulty breathing.
The ability to adapt has been termed micro evolution, which obviously exists. Darwin's unforgivably long leap of faith was to extrapolate from this to macro evolution, the supposed ability of a species to transform into one entirely different which, to perhaps labour the point, has never been proven.
As with doctors, the lay person tends to place scientists and science itself on pedestals. It's all above board, ethically correct and immaculately pure and driven by ice cold Spockian logic most people think, at least sub-consciously. However, as the global warming scam, where scientists who disagree with the orthodox view are starved of funds and shut out of the conversation altogether, has so graphically shown, it ain't necessarily so. And so it is with Darwin's theory which is seen as universally accepted.
Scientists are human. The like to belong. To use the term, evolutionary, in a slightly different sense than used heretofore, to belong is to survive, to be exiled is to die. Scientists who come up with evidence incapable of being fitted into the standing paradigm tend to die, at least career wise. The mechanism at the centre of this process has been termed a "knowledge filter", filtering out troublesome contradictions.
For a comprehensive list of evidence liked by many to be dropped down the memory hole, simply pick up a copy of Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race, by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson. In this and similar books are well substantiated claims that almost cause hairs to stand up on the back of one's neck. One such startling example is a modern skeleton found in a coal vein - at least fifty million years old. Remember, homo sapien sapiens according to received wisdom are supposed to go back no more than around two hundred thousand years.
Or check out Mysterious Origins of Man at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u__Zm4stnug. More raised neck hairs and goosbumps. How about human footprints found next to dinosaur footprints around two hundred million years old? "Obvious hoax!" it was shouted by royally self-appointed keepers of the truth. "Those footprints were obviously carved in the rock." Problem for that was that both sets of prints led under limestone ledges which when removed excavator-like, were shown to continue. How about artifacts found at great depth in rocks millions of years old?
Then there's the shameful tale of stone spearheads found in South America proved by radiocarbon analysis to be at least two hundred thousand years old when the "out of Africa" theory holds that humans only reached the area no more than fifteen thousand years ago. The career of the archeologist who found the spear heads and stuck to her guns regarding the age she claimed for them had her career destroyed. Science at its finest.
Perhaps the moral of this whole story is not so much about who is right about one of man's most burning questions but about the modern epidemic of duplicity, perhaps not so modern, that we, the people must contend with and if truly wanting to avoid an unexamined life spent amongst the herd and find a measure of authenticity then one must travel the road ignored by the Department of Road Maintenance and diligently search for truth as one sees it.
