isn't consensus."---Michael Crichton

Recently a peer-reviewed paper written by Dr. Stephen Meyers, PhD. appeared
in a scholarly scientific journal called "Proceedings", a publication printed
under the auspices of the (tax-payer funded) Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, D.C.
Problem: The article in question... ("The Origin of Biological
Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories")... was critical of certain
aspects and presumptions of the prevailing Neo-Darwinian macro-evolutionary
theory. The paper suggested that life on earth in all its forms and variations
may, in fact, be better understood by considering the possibility of Intelligent
Design.
Since the article appeared, the managing editor of
"Proceedings", Dr. Richard Sternberg (two PhDs in biology) has been taken to the
Smithsonian woodshed for scourging and humiliation for having had the nerve
(!) to approve and print Dr. Meyer's article. As of this writing (February
2005), Dr. Sternberg has been ostracized at the Smithsonian Institute. He has
become a pariah. He has been locked out of his office and is being forced to
fight for his job, his reputation and his career.
I have written the following...(ahem)... "light-hearted" ode to
commemorate this sad, revealing (and still-unfolding) tale.
( You may read more about the Smithsonian situation

nabal (naw-bawl'): There are several Hebrew words in
the Old Testament that are commonly translated "fool". Each of the words
reflects a different "degree" of foolishness. Probably the harshest degree of
"fool" in the Hebrew is "nabal". Nabal carries with it the implication
of wicked impiety, stupidity, vileness...and an utterly disgraceful ( low,
fallen and withered) condition .
"The fool [nabal] says in his heart,
'There is no God.'
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good." (Psalm 14: 1)
"The Klan of
Nabal-oney"
or
("Grand Wizards Spring to Action")
The Smithsonian Evo-Klansmen
Have tied the noose on D.C.'s Mall;
All who dare to buck the "massah",
Are lined up against the wall...
Never question him in public!
If you do, you're gonna lose.
Keep your mouth shut, boy!
....Just zip it!
"Massah" Smithson's not amused!
He does Science by consensus,
And he can sense you disagree....
Brother Bubba's got his rope out,
And, boy,...he's lookin' for your tree!
Hoods 'n' Sheets are pressed and ready,
Torches lit and long knives drawn.
See Night Riders in the Saddle...
The Inquisition gallops on!
**************
"Galileo!" !....What's your problem?
Hey! Just Step 'n Fetch-it, boy!
We don't 'cotton' to your antics...
Son, you're starting to annoy!
You'll be our "Showcase for Derision"
Just before we watch you swing.
We'll white-trash your reputation...
Toleration's not our thing.
*********
Fundamentalists of Darwin,
Can't accommodate dissent.
Heretics are dealt with harshly...
It's their Holy Sacrament.
Macro-Evolution's Dogma,
The 'Idol Truth" toward which they're bowed....
Four Commandments: "Sit!"..."Roll over!"
....."SILENCE!" ...
"NO DEBATE ALLOWED!"
It's always wisest to remember,
The "Massah's" Canon Etched in Stone.
Darwin's Dogma's quite inerrant.
So, leave well-enough alone!
You shouldn't stray from his Plantation...
'Cause if you do....
They'll hunt you down!
Like a "Lucy-Bone", ...they'll findya!
Then "Deep Six" you in the ground.
They'll be calling out the bloodhounds!
Their Dogma's good...
They've got your scent.
You can run, but you can't hide, boy...
'Cause their Design's Intelligent!
Watch Grand Wizards spring to action!
Mud to Mankind...just like that!
"Missing Link"?....
Still chasing wabbits!
That were pulled from Darwin's hat.
********
Devolving Brights are growing dimmer...
Nabals returning to the cave....
Temple-Tenders at The Tar-Pit,
High Priests sinking in their graves.
*******
Lord, forgive us for not seeing,
Your Design before our eyes!
We are blinded in the flesh, Lord.
Your handiwork?....Unrecognized.
Thank You, Father...You're the Master!
To You our Sin we do confess!
And Sweet Jesus, we're so grateful,
For Your White Robe.....
.....Of Righteousness!
We thank You for "The Hound of Heaven"*,
And for The Way....
....He tracked us down!
Calv'ry's Tree?....We hung You on it...
But we were lost then....
Now we're found!
"Five hundred years ago science
revolted against theological dogma as the source of all knowledge. Today it is
science that is trying to assume the mantle of the sole arbiter of truth...They
have become so dogmatic that anyone who questions this belief is considered a
heretic who should be ridiculed into silence." --Ben Wiker

"Darwinism has become our culture's official creation myth, protected by a
priesthood as dogmatic as any religious criteria. " -Nancy Pearcey
*****
"The LORD looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
"All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one." (Psalm 14:2)
