Quote# 58850

"One of the most impressive aspects of Darwin's original theory was that it went AGAINST all his "preconceived notions" that he learned growing up and being a seminary student."

Vacuous nonsense.

At the time of writing his Origin of the Species, he had completely rejected God's word, and pledged his hostility thereto in his oath to become a member of an elite club of wealthy and powerful men known as the "Ghostly Guild."

This was a select group started by Brook Foss Wescott, and included FJA Hort, Lord Balfour, and Bishop Benson, all of whom had joined in their hostility to God's word, and the deity of Jesus Christ.

History is so inconvenient for evolutionists.

"Ghostly Guild."?

Right, is there any secret society that Darwin wasn't a part of?

"Mr. Darwin, are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?!"

These sorts of arguments are fun. Can't disprove something directly with facts? Resort to arguments that have no bearing on the validity of what one is attacking!

Go away.

Do you actually believe this drivel or do you justify it as lying for a greater cause?

I am sure this is written for impress your fundie friends. All those historical names lend so much credence to the hogwash.

This sounds like something out of a fucking comic book.
Issue 1: Darwin joins the villanous Ghostly Guild!

This is not even tangential to reality. This is infinitely wrong. This is fractally wrong. This is so wrong, I'm running out of mathematical terms to use as analogies.

"known as the 'Ghostly Guild.'"

Everyone knows Darwin dressed as a monster to scare everyone away, and he would've gotten away with too if it weren't for you meddling Creationists and your dog too!

Actually, history is more inconvenient for Christians. Y'know, because it goes against most of their Bible and all. It's actually pretty consistent with our views...mostly because we adjust what we think to fit the facts.

History. Freepers could give a shit less about being accurate about it.

Evolution explains how life operates in the real world.

Your Bronze Age tribal mythology doesn't do that.

When your belief contradicts reality then you have a problem...

Westcott and Hort were in college in Cambridge from 1852. Darwin's voyage in the Beagle ended in 1838. His Journal was published in 1842. Since his theory conflicted so badly with his upbringing, he delayed his writing of On The Origin of Species until 1856 and it was finally published in 1859. There is no evidence that Darwin was ever a memeber of the Guild.

All of this is totally irrelevant. Science had uncovered vast amounts of evidence supporting Evolution in the last 150 years. Any information about Darwin is irrelevant to today's Theory, since Darwin's work merely started the process of discovery.

Darwin's ghost said to tell you that there is no god and that the bible contains errors and is inconsistent. Darwin's ghost also said that the bible is morally reprehensible and is unethical.

5 minutes worth of research :-
The Ghostlie (sic) Guild did exist and later became the Society for Psychical Research and was merely involved in researching stories of ghosts, poltergeists,fake mediums etc.
And as Cabraxas points out there is no connection with Darwin at all.

Ah, for a second I wondered what this guy was on about, then I saw it was editor-surveyor, no doubt transcribing the voices in his head again. Never mind.

"Ghostly Guild"

Methinks you don't know a)what that is or b)what the hell you're even talking about. Two seconds on the Googlez would do you well.
