(Charles Darwin)
Here we are in front of the long-awaited lists for access to advanced degrees.
My eyes immediately runs toward the ones of my degree, "evolutionary biology" ... 11! 11 new evolutionists on 235 questions! I did not expect such abundance! I look at the results of other specialist: a sell-out is recorded in the "biosanitaria" and "molecular genetic".
After the joy, spontaneous reasoning emerges: the evolution does not roll, biologists prefer other addresses, giving you more chances of finding work. I heard her say: "when you come into a laboratory nobody will ask who it was Darwin, you just press the button" ... BEAUTIFUL! I studied 5 years (if everything goes just fine) to "press the button! Fortunately, the aspiration of a "biosanitario" is not to press buttons in a laboratory and do not need to enroll in a graduate program in evolutionary biology to learn about Darwin or the theory of punctuated equilibrium, but at this point question about the fate of evolution remains: look in the media a certain indifference on the subject.
What causes this lack of interest? I look a bit 'round and immediately an individual stands to my attention: the pope.
If in 2006 we have a reactionary Church still so how can we expect in Italy, that people take an interest in Darwin? I do not say that punctuated equilibrium, but at least DARWIN!
Yet there are still those who writes: "Darwin is scary, but rather the evolutionary
brain washing is done with the money of all" (Franco Damiani, hosted by Forza Nuova) and there are still " scientists "who support creationism.
But how do you support, by scientists, a faith? A scientist may support a theory and creationism is not!
is as if a geologist said that the Earth is flat, the laugh in the face! So why if a "biologist" says: "God created man in His own image and likeness" does not happen the same? And even last year, the then education minister, Letizia Moratti, claims to remove the teaching of evolutionary theory in schools? "Because at that age are not ready" ... and of course, first of all, the catechism, then, who knows, God willing (or the Vatican), Darwin ... Embee, otherwise then the boy becomes schizophrenic and would ask questions such as "But he's right, the priest or professor of science?".
However, for now, the teaching of evolution is safe, but then ... except in what sense? And ok, that teachers are all communists (...), but who is that Darwin studied in school? Beyond the neck of the giraffe, I do not remember anything else! What then, so you're convinced that Lamarck was an idiot and actually had a great evolutionist too!
But what is the basis of anti-evolutionism? Ignorance.
As long as people will be ignorant can believe that evolution and creation are two theories, and of course choose the right one, what God teaches us through the mouth of the pope. The problem is not asking questions, accepting the word as it is. And when that man starts to ask questions? When is baby! If at that age he is told: "God created man in His own image and likeness" and maybe it warns against criticism of the Word, he will grow up with that phrase printed on the head and that you will not want to put in discussion. The church plays this: ignorance, fear.
And so Moratti and Dale (1) become the defenders of the divine word, against the heretics and scientists, perhaps, communists!
(1) Joseph Dale: geneticist known as an opponent of scientism, and has published numerous books including "Forget Darwin "(1999), as a journalist fights assisted fertilization, the removal of organs, animal testing.
