He's smart enough to know Intelligent Design Theory is Creationism massaged by those embarrassed by it, and smart enough to create a slightly more sonorous, more cleverly obfuscatory, construct with the aim of salvaging credulism and the brain-chemical that comes from zoning out on it.
All that evolution points out is that every organism that has ever lived will eventually die.
There are those so simple minded, that they will read that and think "Hey! That's all evolution points out? Then what's the problem?!"
But he misrepresented the philosophical problem that Darwinism presents for believers in a beneficent deity. As I said,
"All" that evolution points out is that? No, evolution points out that individual "organisms" imbued with a capacity to suffer and the instinct to survive, die, one at a time, often in childhood, innocent, and often in agony--and this clown is brushing past that pretty picture with his "all that," ....
But one doesn't need to be intellectually disreputable to court that brain chemical, actually. IMO, art, music, poetry is the way to go. And I also get it by being profoundly happy to be here for my turn, and consciously aware of how lucky my loved ones and I are to have been born in this era, and in the lucky classes of the first world. |
