Government is anti-Darwin



Government Is Anti-Darwin
Charlie Earl

Despite the anti-religious, anti-faith stance of the federal government, it is actually a huge promoter of anti-Darwinism. The concept of Natural Selection is routinely abused by government policies and priorities. Even many state and local governments deny the guru of anti-creationism by their contradictory programs and efforts. It has long been a belief of mine that government cannot be trusted because it has no mind, no soul and no heart. We can now add “no consistent principle” to the list. As you may have detected by now, government policies that punish the successful and reward the unsuccessful are contradictory to the Darwinian model.

By assisting the underachievers in society government distorts the pool of acquired merit. In many cases, not only are the successful treated punitively, but are ostracized and demeaned. This approach is similar to the “self-esteem” movement within our education system. Non-performers are praised, suckled and pampered by the government agents in charge while the more diligent members are left to fend for themselves. Maybe we should identify the phenomenon as the “Darwinian Inversion” because it undermines true achievement while rewarding the talentless and the slothful. Losers never lose, and winners fight like the dickens to stay above water.

Perhaps one of the more glaring illustrations of my thesis is the government reaction to disasters….particularly natural ones. For hours and even days, government agencies and media warn people that a storm/hurricane/blizzard is headed their way. Dire forecasts and predictions abound as the public sector screeches about the coming gloom and doom. Evacuations are urged and ultimately required. Yet… yet.. during and immediately following the catastrophic event significant sums of taxpayer resources are expended for rescue operations for many people who refused to comply. The government is distinctly anti-Darwin because of its eagerness to save the stupid, the stubborn and the unstable from their own folly. If the government and the liberal progressives who control it truly believed in the Darwinian principle of Natural Selection, they would refrain from preventing the “death by storm” suicide efforts of the unfit.

With its emphasis on the weak, the lazy and the disadvantaged, government intimidates the public into a squeamish acceptance of its inexorable growth. By appealing to our better natures the progressive/socialist cabal builds a web of control that is fueled by false compassion. Government functionaries and their apologists prey on the strong by advocating for the weak. The so-called secular and data-driven public servants deny Darwin’s hypotheses to advance their own agendas. They elevate the weakest among us and expect those of us who survive to carry on without whimpering or objecting. If we complain, we are characterized as heartless and unfeeling, selfish and cruel. The anti-faith government uses faith as a tool to bludgeon the producers while exalting the takers and looters. If Darwin were alive today, he would climb aboard the “Beagle” and search for a place where the fit are flourishing. The United States government and many of the state and local governments appear to be obsessed by the notion of appropriating from the fittest in order to encourage the proliferation of the unfit. The approach is the antithesis of scientific Darwinism.

Personally, I find many of the popular interpretations of Darwin to be distinctly anti-Christian, but some of his hypotheses are valid, observable and can be replicated. Governments’ ignoring of the concept of Natural Selection while self-servingly promoting a collectivist social agenda is scientific misfeasance and malfeasance. Perhaps the real answer is not a government bias for anti-Darwinism, but rather a government position that distrusts the individual. Government seems to prefer the lower common collective over the shining achiever.
