Old Testament flunks ID test?

Posted in The Eonic Effect at 4:11 pm by nemo

The Old Testament: An Eonic Riddle

One of the great ironies of the Darwin debate is that the design argument doesn’t work with Old Testament history. For that a look at the eonic effect is needed.

Our understanding of the Old Testament is in crisis. The tide of Biblical Criticism and archaeology has eroded our sense of divine action, or of divinity acting in history. Traditionalists are frozen in biblical literalism, and heading over a cliff oblivious to their situation, while arrogant Darwinian reductionism only compounds the confusion by offering no insight into religion beyond the Social Darwinist vulgarity of the cadres of scientism.

A science of history??

Posted in The Eonic Effect at 4:03 pm by nemo

Scientists have forgotten the history of the idea of a a ‘science of history’, with the result that the reductionist version of scientism has taken hold, to the extent that scientists bother with history at all. Actually there is no ‘science of history’ in the conventional sense, and the relationship of history to evolution, their deep connection, suggests the same must be true of (human) evolution.

Explaining the Spread of Agriculture into Europe

The practice of growing food and keeping livestock was invented numerous times throughout the world. One ‘center’ of agriculture is said to be the Middle East. Despite the fact that calling the Middle East a “center” in this context is a gross oversimplification, it is true that agriculture was practiced in Anatolia and the Levant for quite some time before it was practiced in Europe, and it seems that the practice more or less spread from the middle east across Europe over a fairly long period of time.

Archaeologists have long asked the question: Was this a spread of agricultural people, or the spread of the practice of agriculture, or, even, the independent invention of agriculture by various groups independent of earlier manifestations of this practice elsewhere?

Hijacking the Cambrian

Darwin’s Dilemma
A 71 minute video documentary

The evidence of the Cambrian is compelling, but just what is the conclusion, apart from doubt about Darwin’s theory? The attempt to hijack the Cambrian mystery for ID seems likely to backfire.

The final film in Illustra Media’s long-planned Intelligent Design trilogy is Darwin’s Dilemma.

This documentary will examine what many consider to be the most powerful refutation of Darwinian evolution—the Cambrian fossil record. Charles Darwin realized that the fossil evidence did not support his theory of gradual, step-by-step evolutionary development. He hoped that future generations of scientists would make the discoveries necessary to validate his ideas. Today, after more than 150 years of exploration fossil evidence of slow, incremental biological change has yet to be excavated. Instead, we find a picture of the rapid appearance of fully developed, complex organisms during the outset of the Cambrian geological era. Organisms that embody almost all of the major animal body plans that exist today. This remarkable explosion of life is best explained by the existence of a transcendent intelligence.

Darwin’s Dilemma will be released on September 15, 2009.

Secularism and anti-darwinism

Posted in Evolution, Science & Religion at 3:16 pm by nemo

Toward a secular postdarwinism
One of the great confusions of the debate over evolution is its polarization around religion and secularism. The question of evolution, or rather Darwinian pseudo-science, is one of science vs pseudo-science. The religious opposition to evolution simply makes the defenders of Darwinian pseudo-science stronger.

Separating Darwin critique from the climate debate

Posted in General at 3:01 pm by nemo

Whatever the answer to the question, the fact remains that critiquing Darwinism is a legitimate and necessary scientific activity attempting to expose the pseudo-science of Darwinism. This has nothing to do with conservative/creationist initiatives, e.g. climate change denial.

Looks like it’s time to bring back Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan: The US Chamber of Commerce wants to subject the science of climate change to a “Scopes monkey trial.” Read the rest of this entry »

The Pure Society: From Darwin to Hitler
27 August 2009

Allocating blame in a selective way

Simon Underdown disagrees with the premise that racism is part of evolution, rather than a crime

Of all the names that echo across the 20th century, it is interesting that perhaps the two loudest should belong to men born in the 19th; Darwin and Hitler. They occupy the diametric positions of what evolution has allowed human intelligence to achieve – sublime beauty and sublime evil. But once you’ve chucked in a shared penchant for facial topiary, that is where the similarities end. Darwin had arguably the greatest idea to ever occur to a human being, with a simple elegance comparable to any great work of art, and Hitler, well, he had a moustache. The theory of evolution by natural selection has only ever been a scientific idea and has never been a guide for how society should organise and conduct itself.

Andre Pichot, in his book The Pure Society: From Darwin to Hitler, somehow misses this important point and tries to make the case that Darwin’s idea is somehow responsible for all manner of dangerous policies from Nazism to racial apartheid. This fundamental error means that an impressively researched and passionately argued book, and a readable example of history of science covering a remarkable breadth and depth of material, ultimately falls down.

Life ascending

Biochemist follows footprints of evolution
Sunday, August 30, 2009 3:23 AM
By Margaret Quamme
British biochemist Nick Lane isn’t afraid to tackle the big subjects.
The subtitle of his ambitious and stimulating Life Ascending is The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution. These are, in order, the origin of life, DNA, photosynthesis, the complex cell, sex, movement, sight, hot blood, consciousness and death. Not a ringer among them.

Reading this volume as a nonscientist can be challenging. At times I felt as if I were drowning in adenosine triphosphate, hydrophobic amino acids, polymerization and depolymerization, gerontogene mutations and actin filaments.

But Lane is quick to toss out life preservers in the form of metaphors that allow those who still have nightmares about the Krebs cycle to catch their breath. He speaks of “RNA’s nestling up like piglets on a sow’s nipples” or of the “astonishing catwalk of weird body plans” that appeared in the Cambrian era.

ScienceDaily (Aug. 27, 2009) — An international team of 16 scientists today reports the first direct measurement of the general rate of genetic mutation at individual DNA letters in humans. The team sequenced the same piece of DNA – 10,000,000 or so letters or ‘nucleotides’ from the Y chromosome – from two men separated by 13 generations, and counted the number of differences. Among all these nucleotides, they found only four mutations.

The genetic change that enabled early Europeans to drink milk without getting sick has been mapped to dairying farmers who lived around 7,500 years ago in a region between the central Balkans and central Europe.

ScienceDaily (Aug. 31, 2009) — In 1952, Stanley Miller filled two flasks with chemicals assumed to be present on the primitive Earth, connected the flasks with rubber tubes and introduced some electrical sparks as a stand-in for lightning. The now famous experiment showed what amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, could easily be generated from this primordial stew. But despite that seminal experiment, neither he nor others were able to take the next step: that of showing how life’s code could come from such humble beginnings.

Globalization and unfettered capitalism have been swept into the history books along with the open-market theory of the 1920s, the experiments of fascism, communism and the New Deal. It is time for a new economic and political paradigm. It is time for a new language to address our reality. The voices of change, those who speak in powerful and yet unfamiliar words, will cry out Sept. 25 and 26 in Pittsburgh when protesters from around the country gather to defy the heads of state, bankers and finance ministers from the world’s 22 largest economies who are convening for a meeting of the G-20. If we heed these dissident voices we have a future. If we do not we will commit collective suicide.

Commercial Real Estate Lurks as Next Potential Mortgage Crisis

By LINGLING WEI and PETER GRANT

Federal Reserve and Treasury officials are scrambling to prevent the
commercial-real-estate sector from delivering a roundhouse punch to the
U.S. economy just as it struggles to get up off the mat.

Their efforts could be undermined by a surge in foreclosures of
commercial property carrying mortgages that were packaged and sold by
Wall Street as bonds. Similar mortgage-backed securities created out of
home loans played a big role in undoing that sector and triggering the
global economic recession. Now the $700 billion of
commercial-mortgage-backed securities outstanding are being tested for
the first time by a massive downturn, and the outcome so far hasn’t been
pretty.

Confusions of positivism

Posted in Science, The Eonic Effect at 2:37 pm by nemo

The Triumph Of Positivism
One of the most confusing aspects of Darwinism is the way, in the name of the Enlightenment on the part of its fans, it represents a decline rather than an advance. This, and the rise of positivism, thus confuse people because by the normal law of succession thence progress the later should be the better.
Here the study of the eonic effect can instantly unravel the confusion with its ‘discrete-continuous’ model and the study of the timing of the Enlightenment. Positivism is already, thus, a kind of decline from the Enlightenment.
