Re: "New information does not undermine anything because the system itself was never built on the premise that there can be no outside information or no data that we have not yet determined or arrived at. "
One should never end a sentence with a preposition -- especially a compound sentence with four different subjects, and five separate "double negative" verb structures.
Wow my grammar wasn't perfect there, want a cookie?
Improper syntax and grammar notwithstanding, such an impassioned defense of Evolutionary Theory is but a verbatim repetition of all the eloquent oratory with which the contemporary candidate for a degree is expected to "regurgitate on demand" as a prerequisite to proving one's "worthiness" for advancement in such dubious fields of academia as "Middle Eastern Studies", "Womens' Studies", "Gender Studies", "Black Studies", "Latino Studies", "Peace Studies", "Conflict Resolution", "International Affairs", "Gay/Bi-Sexual/Lesbian/and Trans-Gendered Studies", etc... .
Preposterous. You are relating unrelated disciplines. I was never asked to "regurgitate" anything like this because no clown ever walked into a college class rejecting the science being taught. All of modern life assumes and depends upon these scientific notions. That is how the medical field operates, that is how technological advances operate, that is even how you live your daily life whether you want to admit the science is true or not. And I have a degree in science yet never had to explain to someone why evolution is "true." I also never had to explain to a person why Newtonian physics is "true" or why 2 plus 2 equals 4 is true.
I take no personal issue with those choosing to march in lockstep agreement with scientists whose dogma teaches that Israelites evolved from Negroes in the African Motherland.
Does it matter if we came from "negroes" or from an "ape" or from a common ancestry of modern day humans and apes? NO. What matters is that at some point in history G-d gave man a tzelem elokim, the image of G-d, and that is where we stand today - that principle is unassailable. And a scientist (yes, they have opinions outside of proven fact as well) cannot disprove it. What also matters is that originally G-d created the world from nothing. This also cannot be disproven, whether many people disbelieve it or many people believe it. That there have been scientific processes and physical development since the initial creation takes nothing away from that.
BTW, "negroes" also have tzelem Elokim according to Judaism. Does that bother you?
I fully realize that to earn a grade point level of "B" grade or above demands joining in consensus with other university faculty who find Torah to be the stuff of primitive superstition and ridicule.
Once again you are conflating the issues. I never once had to ridicule Torah or call it superstition in college nor was I asked to do anything like that. In fact, I first learned about real Judaism while in college and that is where I started to be a practicing, observant Jew. To get a good grade, a student needs to understand the material taught in class and be able to apply it and answer questions about it and solve problems with the concepts being taught. Science teachers do not teach Torah. They do not teach religion. They do not teach ethics. They simply teach the science and what facts have been uncovered by the scientific method in that particular subject. One of my biology teachers in college was a Catholic priest! Needless to say he did not attack religion, nor did he disbelieve it himself.
Btw, he also applauded and respected my decision to skip class to attend Yom Kippur services.
I am no longer receiving grades from anyone currently, and I have no reason to "accept" the truth of evolution except for the objective facts and overwhelming evidence that support it, which leave me no choice. To deny the truth would be a desecration of the Torah and would certainly be sacrificing my intellect which in my opinion is a type of idol worship. To what, I'm not sure, but it would be sacrificing it. I'm not sure why you are so convinced that your own dogmas are the only way.
Admission to both Graduate Study and Post-Graduate Study is routinely denied to anyone daring to express even minimal skepticism in Evolutionary Theory, and Ph.D.'s who eagerly compete for "research grants" understand well that the money to support one's family and self are offered with the caveat that objectivity and morality all take a back seat to academic subservience in support of the Globalist Agenda, Big Pharma, and proponents of Obamacare.
Nonsense.
For centuries, the credo "Publish, or perish!" was long the guideline for life in the Academy.
Sadly, this guideline has been today replaced with "Publish that which supports the corporatist/fascist status quo and its obscene obsession with profits, and be willing to alter data and misuse statistics in support of that end, or The Department Chair will gladly outsource the grant money provided to the university by private corporatist industry and the military to your "peers" in India and Communist China, who "know what is expected from them" and will do it for far less money.
Now that you've slandered all scientists as the evil boogeyman, you should know that some people do have principles, and some people do not sell their souls for profit and prestige. I have met such people in my own scientific work. And I certainly hold myself as a religious Jew to a higher standard of morality. Never in my career in science has anyone tried to deny me my personal ethical convictions. So you obviously speak from an outsider's perspective and from complete ignorance. That's a shame.
