The Walk Of Hell

Note that this was in reply to someone's MSN status saying that there was plenty of evidence for evolution. So, I responded in my MSN status as to what it implied.

The basic theory of evolution is perfectly valid, and yes, there is evidence for it. However, to distinguish between the valid part and the excessive extrapolation, we refer to the valid part as natural selection. Yes, cells mutate, animals crossbreed, and other interesting things happen. But the full theory of evolution is a naturalistic extrapolation of this. And that part is out of despertation. And one would have to go all the way back to the Big Bang. So far, most of the evolutionists I've met don't believe in the Big Bang. But what also strikes me is the fact that they believe it will be replaced with something which works.

Try putting God in that void. It would break some of the theory of evolution, but you'll cope... Oh wait, you don't want to; that would then mean that you have a purpose and therefore a responsibility in life.

If you have any doubts about evolution, you have every right to. Remember that everyone involved in the theory is human, and therefore it is prone to human error. Remember that it is also supposed to be scientific, and scientific theories have changed many, many times through history.

When one believes they have no purpose, their life goes downhill as they look for things which give them fixes of pleasure. Money, fame, intellect, sex, and drugs. I can't list everything, but that's the main part. You try, you can't get enough, you get hooked. And you still can't get enough. I call this the Walk Of Hell.

If you think atheism is so great and amazing, you've obviously never been down the Walk Of Hell. It's what happens when you try to do everything by yourself. I know somebody who used to be a staunch atheist. Then he went through the Walk Of Hell. He could list about 10 drugs he took. He chain-smoked. He drank lots. He was into porn. And, by the end of it, he wanted out.

The fundamental problem with the full theory of evolution is not the validity of it. It's what it implies, but most importantly what people think it implies. People think it's great and whatnot because you are not held accountable for by God. But what it really implies is that you are responsible for anything and everything that comes your way and you have no help. Sure, you may have a few friends but when it comes to the deeply personal, you're on your own.

Have you ever been down the Walk Of Hell? If so, you know what it feels like. Are you still going down the Walk Of Hell? If so, you know how hard it is to get off it. Do neither of those apply to you? Then you obviously haven't lived long enough.
