Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Evolution Is A Religious Theory Of Creation

What if a group of priest got together and started a religion that was in opposition to the common religion of their time. They would then come up with a theory of creation that was in conflict with the common religion in order to attract religion. They wanted to make themselves different from the old religion so the referred to themselves as scientist instead of priests. I propose that that is just exactly happened to start off evolution. The government calls it science but it is just religion with a different name. Lets take a look at the lack of fact in its roots.

Scientific methodology as we know it today did not exist at the time Darwin came up with his theory of evolution. He attempts to convince people he is correct, but so did Thomas Aquinas when he was attempting to define the principles of life. Considering that both men used more reason the evidence to convince their audience, I would say they were both using philosophy rather than science.

The “theories” of embryology that Darwin used were far from proven and were not generally accepted by naturalist though he treated them as fact. It is pretty clear that he picked those parts of each “theory” that best fit with his own theory since he did not try to prove his mixture of embryonic theories true and the evidence I have seen indicates it was not commonly accepted as true by the scientific community of that time.

Darwin was convinced that the “civilized” races of men would exterminate and replace the “savage” races of men and thus make the gap between man and ape larger. He stated that in The Decent Of Man. He did not state that blacks and whites were separate species but he sure did give that ideal as he also mentioned anthropomorphous apes and baboons when talking about the evolutionary gap that existed then and the one he believed would exist in the future.

Eugene Dubois was so inspired by Darwin that he joined the Dutch army in order to go to Asia and find the missing link. Wonder of Wonder he found a sample which is classified as Homo erectus and known as Java Man. Java Man was used to prove that evolution was a fact even though many question if it is a valid sample. Despite how debatable it is Java Man is still used in text books to teach the theory of evolution.
