Don’t be intimidated by Darwin thugs like Sam Harris
The strange case of Sam Harris
I find this article by Sam Harris, discussed yesterday, genuinely shocking, because it shows how the current regime will make intelligent people (like Harris, supposedly) stupid via the obsessive education in Darwinian fundamentalism. Such people are dangerous, far more so than a pleasant fool like Collins.
Harris should know better, and probably does know better, but the key to his celebrity is ‘new atheism straight’ and a juicy taget like Francis Collins is too much to pass up.
don’t be intimidated by these Darwin characters, who deserve the title ‘thugs’ when they start trashing people’s desperate efforts to rescue morality from Darwinian stupidity.
Dangerous because they give unlimited sanction to Darwin thuggery based on the highest motives.
Reading this essay on Collins you end by scratching your head. Collins may be confused, but he is surely less so than Darwin idiots like Sam Harris, who seem to have lost all perspective on what they are saying and doing.
Trashing an attempt to compensate for Darwinism severe limits on the evolution of ethics shows that Harris has achieved the final state of Darwinian stupidity and is oblivious to the outcome.
Collins’ formulation is not mine, but a close look shows an near miss on a Kantian view of ethics.
Darwinists are too far gone to grasp their flatlander view of their own subject. We don’t have to hybridize science and religion to do it right, but at least, in a Kantian vein, we can see that plain scientific realism simply cannot produce an understanding of ethics, let alone its evolution.
Don’t be intimidated by Darwin thugs like Sam Harris: hang loose outside of the Darwinian/religious false alternatives.
