Evolution Questions Christianity - On Faith

Knowledge wins the Mind  slowly but surely

Observation of facts have overwhelmingly supported the validity of the Theory of Evolution. Evolution a  subject of Science - not religion. Conservative Fundamentalist Christians fight it by saying that it is an unproven theory. They like to point out that the majority of people are opposed to the Theory of Evolution. They fail to understand that Science is not proven or discredited by popular vote. Science is proven or discredit by the observation and testing validity of facts.

No Observation of Facts can easily discredited the Belief of the Faithful.  As long as Politicians are elected by popular opinion they often have a vested interest in supporting what is observably false.  One of the dangers of Democracy is that the people often decide that what they believe has greater importance than what Science knows.  

But on balance, I would rather let the majority of people make the mistakes than give power to the few that make mistakes. It is best for freedom that our ideas fostered by science can change over time. After all - the earth is no longer flat. In time Eden will no longer be Paradise Lost.

We need to stop education of the Group and start education of the Person. I know that my whole agenda rest on the concept that Society is an interdependent functioning group that depend on each other. I stress that the individual is not self sufficient but must depend upon the cooperative work of the whole group.



But the primary value of the group is to enhance and preserve the intrinsic value of the individual lives. All to often Society has promoted the Value of the group. The benefits of that emphasis is to reward a few at the cost of the many. All to often the lives of the individuals at the bottom of the power and economic spectrum are consider to be expendable. 

My philosophy is that every life has an intrinsic value that should be the first priority of the Group. Extraordinary performance and achievement should be rewarded with extraordinary reward, but not at the expense of the intrinsic value of each and every life .
