War against all natural life?

Posted in technology at 11:59 am by nemo

Craig Venter’s Synthetic Cell; First Shot Of Biological War Upon All Natural Life?
May 21, 2010 10:02 AM
The biologist who mapped the human genome, Dr. Craig Venter, has announced he has now created a synthetic cell aka synthetic life. The new Ventor project transferred D.N.A. built from chemicals into a cell and mitosis (cell division) occurred. The plans for the D.N.A. were taken from a natural organism so it is a little less than making a new life form with a human design such as a living tyrannosaurus with some of George Washington’s facial features, or a tiny flesh-eating mosquito, yet the premise was demonstrated that the capability exists.

Dr. Venter and company plan to manufacture synthetic life forms in order to stimulate the economy, or find health solutions. I have a few comments.

Fourth edition

Posted in Fourth Edition, World History and The Eonic Effect at 4:48 pm by nemo

The new fourth edition of World History And The Eonic Effect takes a new and simpler approach to the issue, less theoretical, and more focussed on world history: http://history-and-evolution.com/

I suddenly realized that people are ignorant of world history. Thus any attempt at theory is hopeless from the start. And the influence of Darwinism has been so deadening that the significance of history is lost, suppressed would be a better word. And religious historicism is not much better. That makes communication hard, when Christian historicism claims one group, and Darwinism another. The result is the endless confusion/collision of biologists who have misplaced evolution, and religionists (Christians) who have misplaced history.
A simple chronicle outline, however, is enough to see ‘evolution in action’ behind the form of outer history.

The Eurabian question

Posted in General at 4:36 pm by nemo

From Arts & Letters: It could be that in few decades, Europe will be but the northern part of the Maghreb. But maybe North Africa and the Middle East will by then be far more Europeanized… more

I think that a generation of the multicultural left has been enough. It is a false left, and has done a disservice to secular modernity, which Marx certainly embraced (as he made nauseating remarks about Indian colonialism). Without that the left is nothing. The question of immigration is one thing: if Moslems find themselves in rising numbers in Europe, then…then that is a demographic reality, with a curious logic, but it is a token, not of the wished for regression to Islamization, but of the unconscious desire of the immigrants to embrace modern culture(s) and escape their past in the countries from which they came. I think that the left should stop being counterproductive on this issue, granting the value in a vigilance toward xenophobia. But the issue is finally the universal ‘modern’ culture that is now global, and transcultural. There is no going back, and no need to put up with the nonsense of Islamicists.

Ayala vs the contradiction/concordance of Xtianity/Darwinism??

Posted in Evolution, Science & Religion at 4:23 pm by nemo

Evolution can be Religion’s Friend
FRANCISCO AYALA
June 2010
Ayala’s attempt at ‘acccomodationism’ is misguided, not because we can’t accomodate ‘religion’ (in a real sense) and ‘evolution’ (once we are past Darwinism).
His opening statement, can one believe in evoluiton and God? is meaningless, since we haven’t defined ‘god’ and can’t equate ‘evolution’ with Darwinism, which Ayala will do in subsequent paragraphs, the usual bait and switch.

Can one believe in evolution and God? Some people of faith and some scientists agree: “No.” They are wrong. The theory of evolution says that organisms are related by descent from common ancestors. Over time, organisms change and diversify as they adapt to different environments. Species that share a recent common ancestor are more similar to each other than species whose last common ancestor is more remote. Thus, humans and chimpanzees are, in configuration and genetic make-up, more similar to each other than they are to baboons, elephants or kangaroos.

In this second quote the same confusion arises, a la Gould ‘non-overlapping magisteria’.
What irony: religion and science are in contradiction because they concern one and the same matter. Science has given ‘evolution’ and then bungled the job. Religion, eh,…Xtianity, has given us the ‘age of revelation’, and gotten in wrong. This ‘age’ is really evidence of the Axial period, evidence of evolution, in the sense we explore in the study of the ‘eonic effect’ in world history.
So, despite the complete bollocks done to their respective subjects on both sides (of the aisle?), I feel optimistic about the situation. We can adopt a scientific approach to religion by looking at the evidence of ‘evolution’ in world history and its relation to the evolution of religion. A simple solution, but both sides are too confused, and too far gone to ever be able to understand what lies behind their errors.
So it’s the end of religion as we know it (Xtianity) and the end of science as we know it (Darwinism).

Science and religious beliefs need not be in contradiction because science and religion concern different matters. Science concerns the processes that account for the natural world: the composition of matter, the expansion of the galaxies and the origin and diversity of organisms. Religion concerns the proper relation of people to their creator and to each other, the meaning and purpose of human life and of the world and how to live a virtuous life.

It’s Not Funny Anymore
By RATIONAL OAKIE – EXCHRISTIAN.NET
Added: Saturday, 29 May 2010 at 12:42 PM
http://richarddawkins.net/articles/474674-it-s-not-funny-anymoreAs an over 40 atheist, I’ve been around long enough to witness the extreme changes that have occurred in the churches over the last 30 years. Churches now seem to compete to see who can be more extreme. From my perspective, living in the South, the evangelic fundamentalists are the most sanctimonious bunch of hypocrites that I’ve ever seen. They are often unabashedly crowing about their perceived superiority and ‘chosen’ status. Whereas in the past they used to be somewhat sheepish and only spoke about things like ‘tongue talking’ and ‘gifts of the spirit’ amongst themselves.

For years I viewed these people as humorous but harmless. They did not have any impact on my life. Then something started to happen. Christians started to engage the scientific community. They wanted to discuss evolution and other scientific topics. Christians started to engage the legal community and started sending their children to conservative law schools. They got their own TV Channel, their own book stores and more recently their own ‘news’ channel.
