How Atheist Market Their Theories and The Public buys.


How do they sell it? 

The analogy below is helpful to put this in context. 

Lets suppose you owned a exotic jewelry store and for years you had the publics trust through cultivated relationships, Trust and fine craftsmanship. Now let's say another knock off jewelry store moves in next door to yours. They have copied everything you sell in yours, but everything in their store is fake imitation. 

To make matters worse 
For you,  the man who owns the knock off jewelry store is telling everyone in town that you have been ripping people off for years and they should quit doing business with you. 

But it gets worse, because, in this analogy, months have gone by and now this man owns 10 stores and there are bill boards all over the city, and the news media is covering his store and helping to spread the deception that your authentic jewelry is somehow the inferior one.

Well this is like what's been happening in colleges around the world in the like, for the last 80 years+ Many people have been working hard to get us to believe marketing slogans and the slogans are..?

"Reason over dogma"

"Religion poisons everything"

"To question science is tantamount to rejecting truth all-together!"

But wait a minute. Aren't there hundreds of scientific fields of inquiry? I mean take the word "Inquiry" its defined as.. "To investigate" To examine" "to dig" to find out"

Find out what? 

Ah yes, if a theory passes tests. Find out if it Is it true? Now certainly in many scientific fields questioning is good. But not all. Take The Evolution debate: If you question evolution today watch the powers that be come after you with fury! 

If you don't believe me ask Dr. Behe and see if he agrees with me. Or try to go into a "civil chat room" where evolutionist are. And see how they treat you for challenging the belief.

There are problems with Darwinism. Many problems. For one the heavily contested fossil record.
In Darwin's day, it was easy to claim that the fossils were there but had not been discovered. Problem is, we now have hundreds of thousands of well-catalogued fossils, from all continents and geologic eras, and we still haven't found these intermediate forms. 

As Denton puts it,
"Despite the tremendous increase in geological activity in every corner of the globe and despite the discovery of many strange and hitherto unknown forms, the infinitude of connecting links has still not been discovered and the fossil record is about as discontinuous as it was when Darwin was writing the Origin."

But wait! Isn't one of the atheist marketing slogans they use all the time, "Where's the evidence"?

Scientist that argue for Darwinism, will say things like.., "Close enough to be fact"  but the fact is in the words of Dr. David Berlinski "Darwinian evolution: We aren't even close, to being close to calling this a theory"

But just like the analogy above the pubic has bought right into the Marketing slogan!

Now I don't for a second agree that science is inferior to religion. I believe the two are compatible. And friends of each other. Religion is a friend of science. And vice versa. It has always been a false dichotomy to pin one over the other.
