Eugenics, From Darwin’s ideas to today’s applications

CSF Admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:01:43 +0000

Joe Renick, May 15, 2012 presented a PowerPoint talk on the subject of Eugenics: The Dark Side of Darwinism. In this lecture we trace the progress of Eugenics…the concept of improving the race of humankind through selective breeding…from its roots in Charles Darwin’s work “On the Origin of Species” to its first full conceptualization in his second book, “On the Descent of Man”. As Darwin’s work became accepted in the academic world throughout Europe and North America in late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, so also were his ideas about Eugenics.

Science and Supposition in Evolution, Astronomy

CSF Admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:55:34 +0000

A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT “SCIENCE AND SUPPOSITION” (A Booklet written around the time of the Scopes “monkey” Trial.)

D. A. Sommer’s booklet “Science and Supposition in Evolution Geology and Astronomy” was forwarded to me by my daughter in Illinois. It is yellowed with age, but its actual age is not given. The author was I think one of two preachers named Daniel Sommer in the restoration movement. Both seem to have been called D. A. Sommer, and would have been active in the 1920’s. Meager information about them is found on the website www.therestorationmovement.com. The biographical essay on the older Sommer leaves off description of his work from the late 1890’s to his 1940 death, Claiming that that information is readily available. (!) Please forward anything you may know or find about D. A. Sommer, Apostolic Review, or this booklet to the CSFNM library.

The document shows no publication date. The publisher is given on the first page; Apostolic Review, Indianapolis, Ind., 904 Udell Street. So, how old is it? The booklet begins with a list of “Six Indictments against the Theory of Evolution”. The sixth indictment speaks of “the World War”. The reference in the singular suggests that World War II was yet to occur. On page 5 is a quote from Thomas Edison. It is taken from the N. Y. Herald, the December 31, 1879 issue, and described as being more than forty years old. “More than forty years”? That would imply probably between 40 and 45. The quote, published barely before 1880, 40 to 45 years later puts the writing of the booklet at 1920 to 1925. It was printed in Indiana. I would be surprised if these booklets were not distributed at the Scopes Monkey trial.

Character of the booklet

This booklet is a very well-referenced critique of Evolution and the general effect of secularist, uniformitarian thinking on science and society as a whole. As I mentioned, the booklet indicts evolutionary thinking as a major cause of the (First) World War. The author makes a pretty good case in a short space, referencing Nietzsche especially. A reader who is moderately aware of developments over the last 90 years or so will notice some things which have changed. I was surprised to read a quote from Darwin’s discussion of “Imperfection of the Geological Record” which places the Silurian period as containing the oldest known fossils. Later in the text the terms Eozoic and Azoic are referred to in connection with “older” rocks that some thought had earlier fossils. (Azoic was the term used by the ones denying the erstwhile fossils) I wondered when the Cambrian and Ordovician were added to the geologic column. The analysis reads very much like the creationist evangelist literature of today. Few of the arguments have lost strength with passage of time.

This document is solid proof that the opposition to evolution at the time of the Scopes trial was not just ranting from ignorant Bible-thumpers who could not read the first page of a scholarly work. Whether Sommer was a scientist I don’t know, but he had a better grasp of the science of his time than many vociferous people today do.

Science and Supposition

Darwinism to Dictatorship (AzOSA)

CSF Admin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:11:26 +0000

The following is a PowerPoint presentation produced by Joseph Kezele, MD of the Arizona Origins Science Association (AzOSA). It is a critique and analysis of Darwin’s Evolution Theory and its subsequent teachings that have led to logical conclusions that resulted in a nation’s demise and likewise affects our United States Government and the society as well. This was presented at the February 21. 2012 General Meeting of Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico. (Albuquerque @ Faith Bible Church, Moon & Central Avenues)

A Scientist looks at the Universe

Dawkins and purpose
The above file leads into the file below. They both address the purpose and meaning to the Universe and the life that exists on the earth. (File in MS Office-2007 format: *.docx) Richard Dawkins says that if there is a God, he gives no meaning and purpose to the Universe. We at CSFNM say that everything that we look at has design, purpose and meaning. If we don’t see it, it is not that it isn’t there; we simply lack knowledge.

Scientist looks at Universe (File in MS Office-2007 format: *.docx)

A Scientist (and a Physicist/Mathematician) looks at the Universe and applies the Scientific Method and Logic to explain what we see all around us. We see everything headed towards becoming cold, dark and dead. Is there any scientific explanation for the Universe starting out Operational and then going dead?
