Thanks Rich and Aster for beautiful meditations. Below is a nice
meditation on the mindset that, without too much effort, can be tied to
(corporate) globalization and many other (non-conscious) materialistic
events of the day. It is from www.darwinismrefuted.com. don
Self-Organization: A Materialist Dogma
The claim that evolutionists maintain
with the concept of "self-organization" is the belief that inanimate
matter can organize itself and generate a complex living thing. This is
an utterly unscientific conviction: Observation and experiment have
incontrovertibly proven that matter has no such property. The famous
English astronomer and mathematician Sir Fred Hoyle notes that matter
cannot generate life by itself, without deliberate interference:
If there were a basic principle of
matter which somehow drove organic systems toward life, its existence
should easily be demonstrable in the laboratory. One could, for
instance, take a swimming bath to represent the primordial soup. Fill
it with any chemicals of a non-biological nature you please. Pump any
gases over it, or through it, you please, and shine any kind of
radiation on it that takes your fancy. Let the experiment proceed for a
year and see how many of those 2,000 enzymes [proteins produced by
living cells] have appeared in the bath. I will give the answer, and so
save the time and trouble and expense of actually doing the experiment.
You will find nothing at all, except possibly for a tarry sludge
composed of amino acids and other simple organic chemicals.381
Evolutionary biologist Andrew Scott admits the same fact:
Take some matter, heat while stirring
and wait. That is the modern version of Genesis. The 'fundamental'
forces of gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear
forces are presumed to have done the rest... But how much of this neat
tale is firmly established, and how much remains hopeful speculation?
In truth, the mechanism of almost every major step, from chemical
precursors up to the first recognizable cells, is the subject of either
controversy or complete bewilderment.382
So why do evolutionists continue to
believe in scenarios such as the "self-organization of matter," which
have no scientific foundation? Why are they so determined to reject the
intelligence and planning that can so clearly be seen in living systems?
The answer to these questions lies
hidden in the materialist philosophy that the theory of evolution is
fundamentally constructed on. Materialist philosophy believes that only
matter exists, for which reason living things need to be accounted for
in a manner based on matter. It was this difficulty which gave birth to
the theory of evolution, and no matter how much it conflicts with the
scientific evidence, it is defended for just that reason. A professor
of chemistry from New York University and DNA expert, Robert Shapiro,
explains this belief of evolutionists about the "self-organization of
matter" and the materialist dogma lying at its heart as follows:
Another evolutionary principle is
therefore needed to take us across the gap from mixtures of simple
natural chemicals to the first effective replicator. This principle has
not yet been described in detail or demonstrated, but it is
anticipated, and given names such as chemical evolution and
self-organization of matter. The existence of the principle is taken
for granted in the philosophy of dialectical materialism, as applied to
the origin of life by Alexander Oparin.383
The truths that we have been
examining in this section clearly demonstrate the impossibility of
evolution in the face of the second law of thermodynamics. The concept
of "self-organization" is another dogma that evolutionist scientists
are trying to keep alive despite all the scientific evidence.
