Erasmus Darwin and Credible Denial
by Neil Thomas

Consideration of Erasmus Darwin's writings suggests that his
unbelief could well have been father to the thought in the matter
of his evolutionary speculations. He was certainly more prone to
gratuitous displays of atheistical dissent than was his grandson Charles.

Why is your ID website so fixated on
the personal life of Darwin?

Physicists don't drone on about the
personal lives of Einstein and Newton
and Kepler and Planc and Bohr. It is
findings that matter, not their lives.

I guess it's because Darwin was trying to explain a philosophical
question from the position of science. In doing so, he has set himself
up for both scientific and philosophical scrutiny.

God's spiritual evidence:

Truth, love, wisdom, compassion, knowledge, consciousness, intelligence,
happiness, faith, courage, justice, peace, freedom, and life itself.

God's spiritual evidence is evident in everyone.
Find it and treasure it because it's the covenant of God.
It's the reason why we are given this life on earth.
It's the foundation why we can have meaning in life.

Let's all honor our personal spiritual evidence of God for the sake of
Christ!

No, he wasn't.

He was explaining how different
life forms had adapted themselves to
live in a changing environment.

Darwin said nothing about philosophy.

That is your red herring.

That's the problem. He must have magically believed that life and life
forms are entirely separate issues that the formation of life forms
doesn't have to have anything to do with life. On the other hand, the
explanation of life forms would automatically cover the explanation of
life. The intellectual absurdity is unbelievable.

That's the saddest part. He as well as most of evolutionists today
didn't really understand what exactly life is and why life can only be
explained philosophically. It's the absolutely apparent lack of
education in philosophy.

Unfortunately, modern philosophy is all garbage that doesn't worth the
paper it's written on.

Modern philosophy is actually the embodiment of ignorance. It is why
it's useless and meaningless.

How would you know?

You have never read ANY philosophy, remember?

Tell us works of modern philosophy you have read.

Why bother? I have no need to study ignorance.
