Description: The myth of the ‘kindly slow-witted naturalist stumbling across evolution’ was fostered by an autobiography Darwin wrote as a deliberately self-effacing moral homily for his children, not intending it to be published. Darwin was fully aware that his idea was a frontal assault on the very notion of an intelligent Designer behind the world. In fact, he might very well have formulated it precisely for that purpose. By Carl Wieland (Originally published September, 1992) Listen here.
Harvard’s renowned Professor Stephen Jay Gould1 was a vigorous anticreationist (and Marxist — see documentation), and perhaps the most knowledgeable student of the history of evolutionary thought and all things Darwinian. [He passed away in 2002.]
We were on the same side about one thing at least—the real meaning of ‘Darwin’s revolution’. And we both agreed that it’s a meaning that the vast majority of people in the world today don’t really want to face up to. Gould argued that Darwin’s theory was inherently anti-plan, anti-purpose, anti-meaning (in other words, was pure philosophical materialism). Also, that Darwin himself knew this very well and meant it to be so.
By ‘materialism’ he does not mean the drive to possess more and more material things, but the philosophical belief that matter is the only reality. In this belief system, matter, left to itself, produced all things, including the human brain. This brain then invented the idea of the supernatural, of God, of eternal life, and so forth.
It seems obvious why Christians who wish to compromise with evolution, and especially those who encourage others to do this, would not want to face this as the true meaning of Darwinism. Such ‘theistic evolutionists’ believe they can accept the ‘baby’ of evolution (thus saving face with the world) while throwing out the ‘bathwater’ of materialism. I will not here go into the many reasons why the evolution/long geological ages idea is so corrosive to the biblical Gospel2 (even if evolution could be seen as the plan and purpose of some ‘god’).

Donn Chapman is joined by Paul Taylor to discuss the legacy of Richard Dawkins.
Paul Taylor is back with host Donn Chapman in the conclusion of a look into the life of Richard Dawkins.
Description: Ignoring the 100 million killed last century through the evolution-fueled ideologies of Hitler and Marx, Prof. Richard Dawkins has eagerly attacked all the ‘Abrahamic religions’, including Christianity, as intrinsically slaughter-prone. His message: only belief in an afterlife would make one capable of suicidal atrocities. But it was not secularism, but America’s Biblical heritage which made it, for all its faults, the most just, free and religiously tolerant nation on Earth.
