Cartoon “Science” – Debunking Myths of Evolution

The National Geographic Society recently devoted an entire issue to Charles Darwin and his speculations regarding the origin of species. Their agenda was to show how Darwin’s ideas are now widely accepted by scientists and researchers while most religious leaders reject Darwin due to their blind faith in scriptures. They quoted Srila Prabhupada briefly, and out of context, saying, “Darwin’s ideas are nonsense.” The entire issue was aimed at illustrating how modern science is confirming the fundamentals of Darwin’s ideas regarding the evolution of species; yet instead of providing substantial evidence, they simply praised Darwin with cultish devotion and offered new, imaginative narratives on how species might have transformed themselves through long series of mysterious mutations.

Evolutionists like to believe that most leading scientists now support Darwin’s far-flung hypothesis that all life has evolved from chemical compounds and every species has improved itself automatically through chance mutations and the process of “natural selection”. National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Science Channel, and most of the academic community, apparently, have suspended scientific thinking when it comes to the topic of so-called “evolution” and the origin of species. Before I began studying the Darwinist teachings, I thought I might encounter half-decent sci-fi-fiction ramped up a few notches, perhaps, with elaborately devised academia speak. Instead of compelling mock science, however, I found instead only Disney-style cartoon tales of amoebas learning to be fish, fish sprouting wings, learning to fly and breathe air, monkeys learning to make tools, build condos, wear clothes, grow corn, and so on. All this is possible, the Darwinists claim, by the power of innumerable, progressive, genetic mutations. They believe these mutations have continuously improved millions of species over millions of years, due to the principle of survival of the fittest, or natural selection.
