seem to believe to any person omnipotent instance, the human being. That is why many people believe that by God, by Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy long since departed with haughty rationalist furor in evolution. For example, my colleague at World Online, in the headlines recently include: "Why has given us the evolution toothache" . In the Frankfurt local edition of "Welt Kompakt an author even wrote:" As we saw yesterday in the cold, the new artwork on the Roßmarkt . Marveled, we wanted back from the evolution our protective winter coat "
In everyday language idioms, as in the cited Arikeln usually seen rhetorically is a special case of metonymy is said." Evolution has something done "as one says "Moscow has done something" if says that sitting in Moscow Russian politicians have done something.
unpleasant it is when the speaker suggest that evolution is actually an acting subject. Unpleasant is not because they would dethrone God - this is often their stated (and legitimate) goal, but because they set a new god to replace the old line in.. the Anglo-Saxon literature, popular science is now often hit a quasi-religious tone when it comes to evolution. The most recent example of an endless series Sara Blaffer Hrdys is book "Mothers and others. How evolution has made us social beings." because I'm fed up too, that everyone really crappy with evolution is explained - as if society would, social, cultural or historical factors influence people's behavior is not as or more. No, it's always evolution, and evolution alone. Other gods will not tolerate this radical evolution monotheists. The satirical version of this thinking shows the play is declared "Caveman," which also houses the facts can the women to park (supposedly) bad, and men do not like to waste time on buying clothes with the work "of evolution."
To be clear: I am not a creationist, not a disguise. I would appreciate only the theory of evolution remains as what it is: A supported by much evidence of thinking model that can explain the origin of species better than any other.
Offensichlich is the quasi-religious tone of the evolutionists in a new comic about Bertrand Russell showing (probably unintentionally) as the founder of the logical antimetaphysichen Philosophy (on calls him in his youthful Umgestüm also the hero of Philip Roth's novel "outrage") in the face of nature and its wonders raving falls to his knees, as is done usually pantheist - such as Werther in Goethe's novel (it an alter ego of his Spinoza's creator).
It sounds like this:
The grove in dark green gorge
flows out of musk roses and jasmine
a scent, so sinnbetörend beautiful
invites lovely enigmatic doing
O flow the fountain-inscrutable bottomless
Where might your mysterious power business?
O earth, air and sea
united fraternally with me!
O Mother of this unfathomable planet!
power that my song dies away unheard,
for you, only applies to you, my forever love it!
course, who is styled in the poem "Mother". But the books of Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary celebrates as "Greatest Show On Earth", to remind the attentive reader always on tracts of the early modern period, in which each only with perseverance even the incidental creation of nature as a wondrous demonstration of God's superior creative spirit was used. A particularly flat, but somehow lovable members of this utility worship was the poet Barthold Hinrich Brockes , who celebrated in his didactic poems wonder about the construction of each tiny worm. Here's an example:
cherry blossom in the night
I saw with the mind contemplating
recently a cherry tree, which flourished
cool night in the moonlight;
I believe that it would not be of more whites.
It seemed as if it were a snow fall;
everyone, even the smallest branch,
as it was a right load
of dainty white round bales.
There is no swan so white, that is because each leaf,
- there by the moon gently refracts light
even through the tender leaves -
even the Shadow knows, and has special ink.
Impossible, I thought, what can be found on earth Weißres
.
As I will soon be out soon established
in the shade of this tree, go
I saw of about
by all the flowers in the height
and was still a white sheen,
a thousand times so white, a thousand times so clear
almost half thereat amazed aware.
The flower snow seemed to be black
this white glow. It struck me in the face
of a bright star a white light,
shines right into my soul.
replacing the word "soul" with "intellect" you have the poeticised variant of this Anglo-Saxon devotional writings evolution. Dawkins is the Barthold Hinrich Brockes of rationalism.
You must protect the admirers of Darwin's evolution as a scientific genius from these worshipers that make it the divinity of a pseudo-religion. Otherwise it is she may still like the Revolution. As this political process raised to the rank of a quasi-divine power was to bring the "victims" were, the one to "consecrate" his life and had the "love" you had, etc., began to be in her name to . masssenmorden
