Darwin has been receiving an increased amount of attention as of late, largely due to the 'transition' away from the bat fucking crazy religious fundamentalism that underscored the Bush puppacy, but mainly because it’s the scientists 200th birthday. A new study (that was likely poorly executed) released last week showed that only 4 out of 10 Americans endorse the theory of evolution, that is to say, only 4 of 10 believe that they are currently evolving. So right yet so wrong... The study found that those who were more educated by the academic industry were less likely to believe that they were created in one day. Whereas those in the lower IQ range (60%???) are quite content believing things that are about as plausible as their secular nemesis ‘Santa Claus’ (the latter of course being only for children… right)

Another article entitled 'Darwins theory motivated by a hatred of slavery' only somewhat backfired when his theory was revised in Francis Galton's ideas of eugenics that sought to craft a society of uber conformist consumers! Clearly the campaign hasn't worked! Really though, lets get real... just like notions that the civil war was fought over slavery, this one too requires we swallow the predominately liberal idea of virtuous government.

The media is aiding the Vatican in conscripting new members by publicizing the institutions recognition of Darwinism, knitting the values of religion with that of secularism, as the Vatican has concurrently tried to modernize its image in stride, by first forgiving John Lennon for saying his band was “bigger then Jesus”, and now welcoming the integration of Darwin’s theories into their oppressive social control apparatus. In the end this more sophisticated form of religious manipulation will be used as evidence to show just how far reaching and effective the Obamanoid calls for change have been; which of course will all be double edged bullshit... I digress...
The Vatican has also recognized the theory of evolution as compatible with its long since discredited moral arbitration, but not because the theory of evolution has no bearing on religious rhetorical explanations of the creation of life (as the essential scientific debate is between theologians and cosmologists and not evolutionary biologists), but because the idea was traced back to someone who was recorded as being a saint (Thomas Aquinas), by the same people who use to sell indulgences (salvation) for the sake of accumulating the worldly possessions they criticized! Because something is only true if someone in this book says it was. Sure I can settle on that!
HERE IS WHY THIS IS A POINTLESS FUCKING DEBATE:
The onset of life and the onset of the universe are two different things; within our current temporal understanding of causation (past-present-future) one of these things CLEARLY precedes the other (although there to some more obscure phenomenological explanations that explain consciousness as preceding matter; ideas which of course are non verifiable). Fundamentally however, and based on what we objectively know, explaining the origins of life (how organic compounds come into being) Doesn't explain the origins of the universe (how something came out of nothing); at least not directly. Thus, this whole debate between biologists and theologians is just another in a string of distracting debates put there to polarize the population along dimensions which have no significance to the fact that they exist as prisoners in a privatized panopticon. And lest we forget the atheists who tout a similar ignorance in their thinking that in refuting creationists claims to the origin of life that they will prove nothing more than themselves exists outside the thin strip of electromagnetic spectrum their eyes are privy too witnessing. In short, this is a go nowhere debate, which is exactly the kind of debate people making real decisions want the fad-ulous populous concerning themselves with while they protect their desire to fuck you over with incentives and bonuses which contrary to popular belief, Obama doesn’t plan on retracting!!!
I digress...
Anyway... the article continues to say that the Vatican does not endorse the theory of intelligent design, and believed it to be more of a cultural phenomenon, perhaps only targeted toward halfwit retards whose conception of their own being doesn’t extend beyond fears of being prodded by some pansy in red leotards and a pitchfork for eternity... who was of course, made in gods image?!?

Could this resurgent interest in Darwinism actually have the effect of strengthening the mental and spiritual oppression of the institution of christianity? Its likely that the theory of evolution will be integrated into the fundamentalist christian understanding, and not married or knit together as conservative media is suggesting. In these dire times of fake economic collapse, when everyone seeks out an explanation as to why their unnecessary shit from useless countries costs a few dollars more, rather then a seeking to overthrow the powers that be, people prefer to sponge for reformed versions of traditionalist explanations of how everything is justified and that "you cant always get what you want but if you try sometimes you get what you need" because only those not bound by this delusion have the right to fuck you over and "get what they want"!! Forget exchanging our hardline literal interpretation of the bible that resembles fairy tales we tell our children, for a morality that is based in reason, or lets use the resurgence in secularism as another excuse to... keep being complacent shopaholics whose role is to not think between punching their time card and wasting time in church!
