Useful Idiots
In the same way that the French and British naively trusted Hitler and signed the Munich Agreement, so today Roman Catholics and modern Orthodox Jews naively trust atheists and accept evolution.

Hi,
This seems a bit of an overstatement to me. Can you elaborate on what make the comparison valid.
What do you say to those who thoroughly research the questions and answers of evolution and intelligent design, and then find agreement with more of the conclusions of science?
At the end of the day, what does it matter if I conclude that the merits of the scientific arguments outweigh (at this time) those of the Rabbis on the matter of the naturalistic origins and development of the universe and life? Can I not still serve HaShem?
If we find that HaShem may reside in only one, little rock on a nondescript beach, will that mean there's not enough G-d in the universe for us?
The comparison I'm making is that just like the French and British believed that Hitler was a honest man who could be trusted, so today the Catholics and modern Orthodox believe that the atheists are honest men.
OK, so you claim the atheists to be dishonest? How so?
What could have made anyone think the Nazis were dishonest?
Let's talk about the Nazis later. My question has to do with the atheists, and it still stands. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I just want to understand your reasoning ....
:)
I have a link here to a post about evolution which may be helpful.
JP, It seems that you've degenerated to your old ad hominem arguments. Your blog in a nutshell:
atheists=immoral perverts and drunks
skeptics= sexual addicts
bible critics=holocaust deniers
evolutionary scientists=nazi liars
modern religionists=nazi appeasers.
Not the way I would go about demonstrating the sanity and rationality of Orthodox Judaism.
DrJ, I'm glad someone is reading my blog!
"so today Roman Catholics and modern Orthodox Jews naively trust atheists and accept evolution."
May I ask what percentage of each? I can't tell if you mean "some" or "all". A percentage would be more helpful than those words anyway. Thanks.
Also, I suppose you mean amoeba-to-man type evolution, and not finch-beaks-getting-longer type evolution, right? Again, thanks.
Evolution seems to be the official position of the Roman Catholic Church and modern Orthodox Judaism. I'm referring basically to "people are descended from monkeys not Adam and Eve" evolution.
