The Deification of Natural Selection


G. K. Chesterton once said, “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.”

In an incredible display of irrational thinking, scientists studying the availability of amino acids as life was forming concluded this:

“We found that chance alone would be extremely unlikely to pick a set of amino acids that outperforms life’s choice, . . . Here we found a very simple test that begins to show us that life knew exactly what it was doing. This is consistent with the idea that there was natural selection going on.”

So, was it some lipid membrane that “knew”; or was it some RNA molecules that “knew”? It is almost laughable that this is supposed to pass itself off as critical thinking.

This type of thinking, wherein “life” is linked to “natural selection” although natural selection is impossible without life first existing, only demonstrates the degree to which modern scientists have effectively become ‘brainwashed’.

Their work was published in the journal Astrobiology.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
