give me the child...

The Virus of Faith, by Richard Dawkins video

"Give me the child for its first seven years, and I will give you the man" is a saying attributed to the Jesuit order, formed by Ignatius Loyola to be the army of christ and enforcer for the imperial catholic church. Loyola schools have a reputation for excellent academic records, and for nurturing future leaders.

The old testament is the common foundation of judaism, christainity and mohammedalism/islam. These religions are very strong on rituals of faith, and the need to indoctrinate the young.
The testament-ial religions propose a God creating the world and all its occupants in 6 days. After resting on the 7th day, the God gives laws to the world and sits in judgement. In despair of man's foolish ways, God sends messanger(s) to die for sins on the world,

Richard Dawkins, an atheist from the University of Oxford in Britain, counter-proposes with the anti-thesis of Darwinian evolution. Lifeforms gradually developed from the simple cell to the elite organisation of complex organisms known as humans. In an earlier century, Darwin's half cousin, Francis Galton, went one further to propose a specious hierarchy of human races and intelligence based on genetic pre-dominance.

From Oxford, the ideology of racialist supremacy, malthusian competition, and eugenics became packaged as Social Darwinism and spread worldwide by Europeans, and flamed inevitably into ethic stereotyping, apartheid and genocide. Rather than to Charles Darwin, modern evolutionists appear to owe more intellectual heritage to Francis Galton, who once suggested that Chinese colonization be encouraged in east Afrika "to supplant... the inferior negroes... and the success of such an enterprise would be of equally great value to all nations commercially interested in those parts". [Africa for the Chinese, letter to The Times of London, 05 June, 1873; galton.org]

Some things are obvious. So far, in recorded history, no organism has been observed evolving into any other. Yet the god of testament religions is - it seems to evolutionists at least - incapable of coherent organisation or impartial judgement. Neither the thesis nor the anti-thesis clears up the questions of how life began or persists. No God has made any organism any more special than the other. Rather, all die in natural disasters if unprotected. No godly law is required before animal communities, including humans, organise their sense of society or enforcement of morality. Scientific work on archeology indicate that Afrikans are the pre-eminent humans on Earth, and hence were (according to logic of creationist testament) the original people made in God's image. Scientific work on genetics, verified by the Human Genome Project, verifies that Afrikan genes are dominant over European genes, which are recessive. To dismay of Galton-ian evolutionists, their own eugenicist experiments confirm that Afrikans are the genetic superior of all human races and all other evolved lifeforms. Perhaps this scientific evidence underlies the rabid fear against "inter-racial" relationships: one could be bred out of existence. Hence the propaganda to potray the "black" as the demonic sex machine. But what if women yet find him so sexually fulfilling, once they bite the "apple"?

Dawkins says, given the mathematical odds, we are lucky to be alive. Our concern with life is how to order its living so to best suit our interests and aspirations while minimising danger to ourselves and inconvenience to others. Faith can help, when belief is hopeful and testament is honest. It is unfortunate that testamntal religions make so much hate out of faith. Science can help, if it is objective and its reports are honest. It is unfortunate that scientific efforts are often so blighted with scientists' subjective observations. When parents give their children up for schooling devised by collusion of hateful testament and false science, what education are they getting? It may explain why the "London School of experimental psychology" makes such active efforts in the global education policy advocated by the UNESCO.
