No, this is not an argument about creationism versus evolution. Charles Darwin using science argued that man, and the rest of life on this planet had evolved over millions of years. In his Origin of the Species Darwin argued that man evolved as the highest order in a chain of every changing improvements where the fittest, or best adapted to the environment, ensured not only the survival of the species but its improvement. Darwin found it hard going trying to convince his colleges in the scientific world that his theory was creditable. Hence Darwin left out a crucial part of his findings. He did this to make it more palatable and salable to the scientific world and to the public in general.
Darwin's theories are often illustrated using a graph. When the graph reaches its peak there stands man, or mankind. However Darwin was also a teacher .....and every teacher knows what a bell curve is. The graph goes up on one side and down on the other. Or using scientific theory proposed by Sir Isaac Newton: 'What goes up must come down". Yes Darwin realised, but didn't reveal that while mankind had evolved as the most intelligent form of life on earth it must soon start devolving.
I can hear you shaking your head in disbelief now. But its true man is on his way down (actually women have been saying this for years). But lets look at the facts, look at some scientific evidence. For example when I go away and I stay in a motel, inevitably in the bathroom there is a hairdryer. have you ever read the label on this hairdryer. If you have it says: DO NOT USE IN SHOWER! This is surely striking evidence that mankind is , well becoming ....dumber. To need a label so that you don't stand under the water and use an electrical appliance! And even if it was dangerous, imagine trying to dry your hair while water is running on it.
Afraid so....man is on the decline. Next time you go to the supermarket have a look at vitamin pills. To be specific have a look at Men's vitamin pills. Now read the small print. Remember these are vitamin pills for men to take. But in fine print it will have the warning: DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT.
Want evidence of a different kind. As man evolved he made progress by inventing things such as the wheel, fire, engines, electricity. Lets have a look at the inventions modern man has patented. Well there is the mini clothes line. It is just like a small wind-up clothes line, but it goes on the top of your car. You hang the clothes on it and they dry on the way to work.
Then there is the Santa Claus detector. This is a christmas stocking with lights in it. It lights up so in the morning the children can see that Santa has been....I would have thought the presents would give it away! And the 'Big cigarette Ash Bib'. This you wear when driving in the car so that cigarette ash can just fall down your front. And the Jet propelled golf club. This helps you hit the golf ball further. Or heated glasses. These are electric glasses with wires attached so that it heats up to stop snow building up on your reading glasses. Of course there is the padded carry bag for your banana. This is like those plastic travel toothbrush holders, but it is banana shaped and padded.....just to protect your banana until lunchtime. And my favourite.....the electric ice-cream cone. It not only pushes the ice-cream to the top but rotates the ice-cream around for you to lick.
Still not convinced?
Other academics have long know this forgotten side of Darwin's theories. Harvard University have an award, called the Darwin Award. This is given ever year to someone who is so dumb that they kill themselves to try to stop the de-evolution of the human race. But the list of people nominated for this award shows just how serious this decline in the human race is. There was an electrician in the US who decided that it would be a good idea to fly his kite in the electrical storm because the wind was so fierce. He was right. The kite took off and soon he was running out of string. he reached into the back of his truck and found a coil of copper wire and so proceeded to attach this to the end of the string. As the kite continued to climb lightning found the copper wire and the budding Benjamin Franklin was no more.
Other nominations include the robbers who tried to blow up an ATM machine but used too much dynamite. The whole building exploded....with them in it. The drug addict who decided to jump out of a moving car in order to sustain an injury so they would take him to hospital and give him some drugs. His injuries were so severe he died at the scene. The vandal on a train who swung on the overhead railing so that he could smash the train window with his feet. When the feet made contact and the window disappeared the vandal was also sucked out of the train and to his death. And of course the men in Northern Uganda who were involved in fierce tribal clashes and fighting. They purchased a magic lotion to protect them from bullets. In preparation they smeared the lotion all over their bodies for two weeks. But before going off to battle they decided to test it. One of their group, Aleobiga stood in a clearing while the rest of the group fired bullets into his chest.
Well you decide....but have a good look around at the people beside you first.
