Teaching the controversy is a catch phrase that people should be aware of. Firstly, it usually prefaces a false equivalence between two topics, for instance, evolution versus creationism. Evolution is a explanatory theory supported by a large body of factual evidence. Creationism, on the other hand, is a mythology made up by ignorant people and handed down through the centuries to keep the feckless from asking too many questions. The positions are most certainly not equivalent in any sense of the word an thus, are not comparable, lest you wish in Physics class to postulate that invisible elves are responsible for making pool balls move a the precise angles they do when struck.
One of the reasons that religion still clings to humanity, not unlike a pesky fungal infection, is that parents teach their children the religion they themselves have been brainwashed with. The true believers really do not have an answer to the problem posed as thus: If you were born in India you would here arguing for Vishnu and the primacy of the Hindu Pantheon of Gods as a opposed to Zombie jesus and talking snakes. So the determining factor of the ‘one true faith’ has much to do with where you were born as opposed to which mythology you intend to internalize.
Feckless claims of the ‘one true religion’ aside, the real problem is that children do not have a chance to gain their critical faculties before being dogmatically ‘educated’ into a particular delusional sect of belief. The ritual poisoning of children’s minds needs to stop as it can have quite disastrous consequences.
Observe the chilling conclusions when you start believing in magic and fairy tales.
The religious often have the notion that somehow they are favoured and they are special because they believe in a particular brand of religious horseshit. This particular belief once examined, leaves only the smell behind.
Some of the barriers to reasonable debate and argument are showcased in this darkmatter 2525 video. It is a touch on the long side, but necessarily so because the double standards are so darn numerous.
At least we can be happy, the Evil Atheists usually have better hair.
Faced with debating the scientifically ignorant, one needs only to resort to the facts of the situation to settle an argument, especially with Creationists who seem to have their own special versions of Cosmology and Physics that do not exist outside the realm of their imaginations.
As per wikipedia: The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the tendency that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential equilibrate in an isolated physical system. From the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, the law deduced the principle of the increase of entropy and explains the phenomenon of irreversibility in nature. The second law declares the impossibility of machines that generate usable energy from the abundant internal energy of nature by processes called perpetual motion of the second kind.
How people think that they can make a coherent argument based on this law (or misrepresentation of said law) is beyond me; but, as the video below clearly shows for others, it is a mere walk in the delusional park.
It has been a hectic pre-report card week and therefore I am behind in my postings, as I still have to schedule in the upcoming weeks batch of posts( meh! :( ). Today’s post though is an exercise in empathy and understanding as perhaps the persecuted majority might get a view of how silly some of their arguments about genetics actually are.
Yes, it actually sounds that silly coming from the other direction as well.
The Roman Catholic Church is a corrupt institution that continues to support the rape and molestation of children on top of preaching bat-shite crazy baffle-gab to the deluded. Such malignant evil has no place in the 21st century.
