Trying to figure out who’s right among politicians may be impossible (witness the hallway/elevator/office conversations on America’s new Obama-care monstrosity overheard during a routine doctor visit yesterday), but the debate over evolution/creation has got to be a circular maze. Or maybe more like a dog chasing its tail.
First, the so-called experts on both sides are so bent on shooting the other side’s messengers that it’s difficult to wade through the flak and have your senses survive long enough to make out what they’re really saying. Not to mention that whether it’s evolution or intelligent creation is the wrong question. It could be both or neither.
The real question is how all this mess got here, not whether things have changed since nano-second one. And the ‘sperts are far from clear on that little item. From all I read, nobody’s come up with tangible proof on either side. Just “detective work” as both sides have been known to call it.
But consider this: “The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve just a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations. Science informs us that this is mere fiction and that man is a few million years old, and that civilization just tens of thousands of years old. Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories? There is a great deal of archeological evidence that the history of life on earth might be far different than what current geological and anthropological texts tell us. Consider these astonishing finds:” (1)
Somebody left their grooved spheres in some Precambrian African rock 2.8 billion years ago. And something like ancient phonograph records 10,000 to 12,000 years old have been found in a Chinese cave. The objects have spiral grooves composed of tiny hieroglyphics that tell the incredible story of spaceships from some distant world that crash-landed in the mountains. Huh? They were yackng about UFOs that long ago? Neither side of the E/C debate told me that. Because that would make them both wrong? Come on, balloon buster! Those who speak for science and/or God are never wrong. Are they?
But back to the politicians. They’ve come up with the biggest pack of laws ever to control health-care costs they say, but the cost-control is only theory. Now they’re in their closet coming up with financial controls – as if any of’em can outsmart Wall Street. Meanwhile we have news that Social Security will, for the first time, pay out more than it takes in this year! And there is no trust fund to make up the deficit. What will make it up?
No sweat, bubba. We’ll just borrow a few more bucks from the Chinese. And what they won’t lend us, we’ll print. We got a lotta printing presses. And by the time the American people wake up, we’ll be gone and it’ll be some other politician’s problem. They’ve always swallowed the Social Security myth before…
