When Liberals Attack: Happy Darwin Day!

Victor Medina
It would seem the free marketplace of ideas has entered a new Dark Age. Rather than keeping their minds open and allow for all viewpoints, the powers that be are squashing all dissent, until theirs is the only voice heard.

The conservative right used to be the ones accused of such intellectual censorship (and let's be honest, at times it was true), but now it's the cushy, tenured liberal academics hopped up on Starbucks in their ivory towers. These overeducated folks have got their Berkeley boxers in a bunch because they are under assault by....wait for it....creationists! The horror!

Darwinists, who believe in a strict following of Darwin's theory of evolution, aren't satisfied with blacklisting anyone who disagrees with them. Now, they want to make Darwin more accessible, hip and relevant. To do this, they declared 2009 "The Year of Darwin." Really. These same left wing radicals with way too much time on their hands are also promoting "Darwin Day" as an alternative to Christmas. Really. No word on the traditions of Darwin Day, but I would suggest instead of exchanging gifts, Darwinists take after their simian ancestors and throw their feces at each other.

Ken Ham of the Creation Museum told CBN News, "We see the secularists really coming against those who have any belief in not just Christianity, but just a belief in an intelligence behind the universe, a belief in God. They don't even care what God you believe in. You can't believe in any God." These same Darwinists characterize anyone who advocates even the discussion of intelligent design as a religious extremist who is trying to indoctrinate America's schoolchildren. They insist that intelligent design has no scientific standing whatsoever. Why then, are they so afraid to even discuss such a theory if it is so flimsy?

This blacklisting is seen in full detail in Ben Stein's hit documentary "Expelled," in which some highly regarded scientists and academics were blacklisted for even considering intelligent design. Despite the fact that mainstream science has already called into doubt some of Darwin's theories, including having to rethink the basis for the Big Bang, extreme Darwinists don't like it if you even consider the idea of a Creator that may have brought into existence the anti-matter or sub-atomic particles necessary for the Big Bang. In their world, there isn't even room for debate. There is only one way to think, their way. All other thought is pointless and irrelevant. It's very Darwinian. It's also very Adolf.
