"Synthesis" - The First Book Of Carl Pagan

1. IN THE BEGINNING THERE SOMEHOW EXISTED A SINGLE SPOT.

2. And this spot was without form, and of undetermined size; And darkness was upon the spot. And an "unexplained Big Bang" moved upon this spot.

3. And the Big Bang caused a great light: And there was light.

4. And the resulting chaos divided the light from the darkness.

5. And man eventually called the light day, And the darkness he eventually called night. And the years and the centuries were the first eon.

6. And somehow the stars, galaxies, and planets evolved.

7. And all matter resulted somehow from this unexplained Big Bang. And so it happened.

8. And Man eventually called the result the cosmos. And the years and the centuries were the second eon.

9. And water somehow evolved, and dry land evolved after eons of evolution: And so it happened.

10. And Man eventually called the dry land earth; And the collecting together of the waters called he seas: And it was a good chance arrangement.

11. And thru some yet undiscovered chemical reactions, life sprang up from the dead matter and eventually evolved into grass And all plants, fruits, vegetables, and trees upon the earth; And so it happened.

12. And life began as a one celled organism And evolved into all forms of vegetation and plant life.

13. And the years and the centuries were the third eon.

14. And the stars divided day and night and eventually man used them to chart his horoscope and he eventually called this astrology.

15-18. And the stars gave light to the earth, as it so happened to evolve.

19. And the years and centuries were the fourth eon.

20-22. Then from the plant life evolved sea creatures of all kinds, which eventually evolved into lizards, which eventually evolved into birds of all kinds.

23. And the years and the centuries were the fifth eon.

24-25. And then all other land creatures evolved (all of which had evolved from the original one celled organism without leaving any traces of transitional forms between kinds in the fossil record).

26-30. And then monkeys evolved further than all other creatures developing reason, language, and superior intelligence......... becoming Man.

31. And the years and centuries were the sixth eon.

32. Thus, in complete contradiction to the "second law of thermodynamics", the cosmos evolved and it all made sense to man?

"I see no problem with theory (and speculation)."

Nor do I, but when every aspect of a "science" consists solely of theory and speculation; when there is no possible way to test and falsify theory and speculation; when theory and speculation become quasireligious doctrine; when theory and speculation are are enforced by the legislatures and courts; when we are told that our kids cannot understand the natural world unless they are required to base their understanding on theory and speculation; when the true believers in theory and speculation attack as "ignorant" and "unscientific" anyone who dares to question the theory and speculation; then theory and speculation cease to be rational and becomes cultic.

As for artists' drawings becoming evidence, need one mention the infamous Nebraska Man, Hesperopithecus haroldcookii? Why have evolutionists swept it under the carpet rather than openly admit that it was bullshit from the getgo?

For the curious, Nebraska Man was the centerpiece of the preposterous Scopes "Monkey Trial" in 1925, immortalized in the egregiously inaccurate movie, "Inherit The Wind". Ol' Nebby's species, an entire race of early "man", was fleshed out from a single tooth, and the invented creature was used as proof of evolution. The smug, arrogant evolutionists sneered, "See THAT, you blankety-drat creationists? Evolution is a FACT!"

Evolutionists have been strangely silent about this lamentably bad science ever since the single tooth was later discovered to have come from an extinct peccary — a pig.

A pig made monkeys of evolutionists. Not surprisingly, Hollywood did not make a sequel titled, "Disinherit The Windbags".

When you lament that your kids' rooms look like pig sties, remember their predecessors.

At least Southwest Colorado Man had a somewhat more noble ancestry. He was invented from the tooth of a horse. The evolutionists never owned up to that blunder, either.

Did Kettlewell see peppered moths landing on tree trunks and being eaten? No. In fact, he glued them there for his infamous photos. Peppered moths almost never land on tree trunks. They much prefer the underside of leaves where they are not visible to hungry birds. And, Kettlewell did not explain why this mythical "evolution" did not occur in even one of the hundreds of other species of moths and butterflies that inhabit the British Isles and were therefore exposed to exactly the same influences. Lastly, he did NOT elaborate on the fact that the various shadings of peppered moths have existed together for however long they've been around, and that changes in populations of existing species do not constitute evolution.

Why is Ernst Haeckel's "recapitulation theory" ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") still found in textbooks even though it has long since been proven to be a colossal fraud? Ditto the Piltdown Man, another hoax created by a Jesuit priest name Tielhard de Jardin, who was trying to harmonize evolution with Christianity and had to invent his own evidence when nature failed to provide it.

• The Java Ape Man, Pithecanthropus erectus, was constructed from a small piece of the top of a skull, a fragment of a left thigh-bone, and three molar teeth, found over a year and a range of 70 feet in a river bed full of bones of extinct animals. There is no consensus of opinion on its worth.
• Another Pithecanthropus found in Java in 1926 was invented from the kneebone of an extinct elephant;
• Every trace of Peking Man has vanished;
• Etcetera etcetera.

In Origin of Species alone, Darwin used subjunctive-mood expressions such as "Let us assume", "We may well suppose..." etcetera over 800 times. That's a mighty schitteload of assuming and supposing for the so-called "central theory in biology".

Quote# 92772

If evolution is true then how do you explain the design of the world around us and the universe. Take the human eye for instance. Man in all of his genius hasn't even come close to understanding it or duplicating it. Man has never shown even one animal that has experienced an evolution in it's self. Man has never found that missing link that takes us from being animal to being human. It is a very long leap of faith my friend to make and claim evolution as fact with out the evidence you claim. Simply Show us the evidence. You see DNA has proven evolution wrong that all humans came from one mother. Animals did not come from a human mother. Science wants to claim a fact of it but does not have clear evidence of it. Not only this but if man had been here for as long as science claims the Earth would have been over populated long ago. Evolution does not work mathematically.

[About eHarmony's decision to launch a separate matchmaking site for gays and lesbians.]

It would have been the easiest thing in the world to find a backer and launch an all homosexual dating website. It’s wouldn’t be the first one of it’s kind. The aberrant nature of homosexuality is such that they even have phone aps and websites where they can find a willing, anonymous sex partner, arrange a time and a venue and have no-strings, anonymous sex. It’s the high- tech version of their glory holes and bathhouses they enjoyed at clubs in cities like San Francisco for instance. The serious health risks of this kind of behaviour aside….it’s not the ability to find a date on a website that Gay Inc is interested in.

Gay Inc. wants homosexuality to appear absolutely normal and harmless. They want homosexuals included in every aspect of coupling and relationships in the public eye. This is to create the impression that homosexuality is as innocuous as being left handed. To do this means forcing anyone that resists their agenda to give up or pack up..this includes churches. If the Federal government ratifies homosexual marriage you’ll see this behaviour explode in volume and tenacity.

Gay Inc is a venomous, hyper-litigious hate group. I hate to use that kind of hyperbolic language but ..if the shoe fits.

Quote# 92755

During my son's first year at primary school we became aware of a number of issues that badly affected him because of a program the parent of a child in his class was permitted to run. She was studying to become a teacher and the Education Dept. had introduced 'visualization' techniques as a way of managing behaviour. Around the dinner table one night under the cover of conversation happening I heard my son say, "We did that thing again today Mummy" (5yrs old) and when I asked "What thing?" he told me about what was happening. We had been for weeks going through terrible nightmares with him involving a man holding a big sword who came into his room and systematically cut pieces off him. He was describing a Samuri (sp?) Warrior and had never seen one in his life before. He used to try to claw his way through the wall in an effort to get away. The visualisation stuff explained the nightmares and I began taking hold of the Word and praying for a solution. In the end I asked to see the teacher and explained our problem with Eastern Mysticism as Christians and when she said no-one else was affected I said it would only affect you if the E.M. spirit came up against the Spirit in a believer. She then told me she couldn't accomodate one student as she used the 'dot' time to work and couldn't look after him. So I volunteered to come to the school and sit and read with my son if she would let me know when it was to happen again. She agreed but know what? The poor lady doing the teacher training became so ill she had to abandon training and the program.

I'm convinced God heard not just on behalf of my son but for all the little minds being influenced and the main teacher heard about the difference between God's lovely Holy Spirit and eastern religion spirit. God went on to do something else about another school for my kids but I'll leave that for another time. Bottom line, good to listen to that soft little voice of a 5 yr old when unexplained behaviour pops up.

A thought occurred to me this morning. (I know, everybody run and take cover.) I find it interesting the reports of IAF fighter planes flying practice/recon missions over Lebanon at the same time this large asteroid will be doing a fly by (today I think) and now this meteor in Russia. The Lord is really growing even bolder in His warning of " exactly things to come". In these two events it is as if He is trying to do everything He can to warn specifically what is coming. IAF aircraft sorties sending a warning of Israel's ability to retaliate in what many of us believe will be Isaiah 17 and other coming conflicts. The asteroid and meteor I see is warnings of the coming Trumpet judgments. How can anyone say the Lord is not a loving God? He warns people before he pours out His righteous and completely justified wrath and judgment on this fallen world! What's more is some never will repent no matter how brazen the warning. Consider Revelation 9:20-21.

Come quickly Lord for your children!

The signs are screaming at us. I have studied prophecy for 40 years and stunned by what I am seeing. With the signs now occurring daily, how far away could the rapture be? The lighting hitting the basilika in Rome was just amazing , on the day of the pope's resignation. Now a meteor hits in Russia, and a flyby today of the closest asteroid ever in modern history. Earthquakes, over magnitude 6, occurring daily. I feel the rapture could be days away, look up everyone.

Quote# 92731

There was a big fuss recently in Sweden about lasagna and burgers containing horse meat. Sweden is atheist heaven, and so there shouldn’t be any hard and fast table manners—other than “if it tastes good, eat it.” So why aren’t cats and horses on restaurant menus in most countries? It’s because Judeo/Christian nations base what is right and wrong to eat on the rules God gave to the Jews. But if atheism has its way, we can expect restaurants to expand their menus to include eagle-wings, double-double whale burgers, fresh cat casseroles, and tasty little kitten fingers. When any nation forsakes God, it defaults to mob rule (what society dictates) and that can go anywhere it wants.

Quote# 92730

As feminism has elevated the status of women, it has necessarily diminished the relative status of men. Fewer high-status men are available--and given the revealed male preference for sexual variety, they're likely also less willing to commit.

Feminism has diminished the romantic prospects of today's young women--and that is true even if, as McClintock suggests, socioeconomic homogamy trumps female hypergamy. As we noted last March, women graduating from American colleges increasingly outnumber men; the ratio fast approaches 3 to 2.

...

They suggest just as strongly, and to our mind more plausibly, that the traditional marital division of labor is better attuned to the biological differences between the sexes than is its reverse. If that's true, then the continuing march of feminism can be expected to leave many more unhappy women and men in its wake. Happy Valentine's Day.

Quote# 92728

I completely agree that men must love their wives by washing of water through the Word.

The problem is that many women, including Christian women, don’t like what that “washing of water through the Word” looks like and feels like. Most Christian pastors will say that that true “washing of water through the Word” is emotional and spiritual abuse.

A man who undertakes to do this has to insist on his spiritual headship and on her submission. he has to have the final say in everything; i.e. if the two don’t agree, he breaks the tie and they do it his way. She submits even if she disagrees completely. He has to insist she give up control. He has to take control of things. He puts her on a budget and insist he stick to it. He insists on being consulted before major purchases.

He insists on knowing her general comings and goings, the routine and rhythm of her daily life. If she goes somewhere, he has the right to know where she’s going, if he decides to ask. If she does go somewhere, she accounts for where she was and who she was with if he asks. He insists on knowing generally who her friends are, who she associates with, and what organizations she belongs to; and she must tell him. Sometimes, he shows up unannounced at her work, her club functions, her friends’ homes, simply to satisfy himself that she really is where she said she would be. If she’s an SAHM, he shows up without warning at home in the middle of the day, to make sure she is doing what she needs to do and is where she claims to be. If she is talking to someone on the phone, he has the right to ask whom she was talking to and what it was about. He has the right to know anything and everything going on in his house, involving his house, and in any way touching or concerning the people who live in that house and the things in and around that house [...]

But you see, women do not like this. What I’ve outlined above is considered abusive, controlling, and sick. Women rail against this and claim they are “being controlled”.

Quote# 92727

Back in college when I first started paying attention, I noticed something bizarre.

The popular perception is that feminists hate men. This is not perfectly accurate. Feminists envy men. In reality, the thing that feminists hate and wish to see utterly annihilated and forgotten is... women.

I came to this conclusion after observing that feminists do not only seek to see traditional "manly" pursuits made available to women. They also wish to prevent women from engaging in traditional "womanly" pursuits, e.g. homemaking and childbirth. Anything that smacks of a distinctive "female" identity is viciously attacked, while "male" pursuits are lauded as worthy "empowering" ambitions. Their ideal world is one composed entirely of creatures which are masculine in appearance, ability, and appetite.

In my opinion, those who say that feminism is a "war against men" have it exactly backwards. Feminism is a war against woman kind.

From this perspective, the well known alliance between feminists and male gays takes on a suggestive new context.

At best, an evolutionary explanation would only account for why we have moral instincts. But once we're aware of the fact that that's been programmed into us by a blind amoral process, we'd realize that we've been duped by evolution into believing in right and wrong. Our moral instincts would be delusive.

From a list of "far-reaching, devastating and pernicious cultural consequences" of Illinois legalizing same-sex marriage

Public schools will be hiring teachers who are in legal “homosexual marriages.” These teachers will put photos of their homosexual spouses on their desks and talk about their homosexual spouses to their students. Such images and ideas coming from teachers whom children love and admire will powerfully shape the feelings and beliefs of young boys and girls, particularly when such images and ideas are reinforced countless times in other cultural contexts. Such images and ideas will undermine what is being taught at home.

Some will argue that schools are already hiring teachers in homosexual relationships, so the legalization of same-sex marriage won’t change anything. They are only partly correct. Although schools are, unfortunately, already hiring teachers in homosexual relationships, once the government recognizes homosexual unions as marriages, administrators and school boards—particularly in elementary schools—will have the social stigma that makes them reluctant to hire teachers in homosexual unions knocked out from under them. And this, of course, is the chief motivation for homosexuals to pursue same-sex marriage when they already have all the benefits and privileges of marriage through Illinois’ civil union law.

First of all, there is no such thing as the scientific method.
If you are referring to hypothetico-deductive reasoning, that was invented by William Whewell, who is the same guy who decided upon the word “scientist.”

Additionally, I should like to point out that Einstein came up with his theory of relativity by imagining himself riding on a beam of light. This is not part and parcel of the so-called “scientific” method. In fact, it’s not empirical at all. Yet you choose to give science the credit. Why is that?

What are people according to atheists who believe in evolution? ”A hairless ape” – Schoenberg; ”A mere insect, an ant…” – Church; ”An accidental twig” – Gould; ”A rope stretched over an abyss” – Nietzsche; ”A fungus on the surface of one of the minor planets” – Du Maurier; ”A jest, a dream, a show, bubble, air…” – Thornbury; and ”I see no reason for attributing to man a significant difference in kind from that which belongs to a grain of sand” – Oliver Wendell Holmes.
When atheism takes hold of a society, moral relativism is inevitable. Nothing is sacred. There is no objective standard of right and wrong, no God, no eternal Day of Judgement. No hope of eternal justice. Life becomes cheap.

Yet it is the people that believe in the Bible that are clueless? Okey Dokey. Your delusions have been noted.

[About an actual atheist church in the UK.]

I would LOVE to see this in the US. It would be perfect! That would confirm the fact that Atheism is indeed a religion (they have their own church and everything.) And since they are a religion with their own church, there would have to be a “separation of church and state.” Therefore, schools would have to stop teaching the ridiculousness of Evolution since that is one of the main beliefs of the Atheist/Humanist religion. Therefore the choice would have to be made, either allow creationism to be taught, or disallow evolution. You can’t play favorites on which religion is OK to teach, right?

WFPrice,

"You’d think that would mean that its readers would be humanitarian and compassionate,"

Why would anyone still think this?

Virtually all genocides are derived by leftists. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. This is because leftism views economics as zero sum, hence the killing of unwanted people is a way to have more resources for those who are allowed to live (the favored group).

Modern leftism (global warming, feminism) is all about exterminating the groups that leftists don’t like. They claim to be ‘compassionate’ so as to mask their evil. Anyone who supports current laws like VAWA and child support is ‘compassionate’, and thus MRAs by definition are ‘evil’, under that standard.

And yes, Hitler was left-wing. Don’t buy into the leftist myth that he was right wing. The Nazi party was a socialist party, that nationalized many sectors of the economy.

The notion that equal access to higher education was going to cause a flowering of female intellectual achievement was always false, because it observably didn't happen the first time around.

In other words, elite women were attending university in equal numbers to elite men, but more middle-class and working-class men going to college threw the balance out of whack. Middle-class women followed suit, and the consequent collapse in national demographics caused the replacement of 60 million aborted natives with 60 million alien immigrants.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Short of poisoning the water supply or dropping a large quantity of nuclear weapons on the major cities, it would be hard to concoct a more efficient means of crippling a nation.
