The Truth Has Not Been Tried
by Len Schwee
The truth has not been tried because only a few have
figured it out. Most still believe in ancient, man-made gods. There
are about 5,000 religions on the face of earth, each of which claim
to have the truth. Nobel Laureate, Paul D. Boyer, wrote, "Although
science cannot prove that God and a Hereafter do not exist, the extensive
understanding of life, the world, and the universe provided by science
makes their existence highly unlikely." |
Imagine a world without divisive religions. The whole
problem in the Middle East would go away. The gold in the Spanish
churches would be divided among the parishioners, improving the lives
of many of the poor. Late and lazy Sunday mornings would be enjoyed.
No more money would be wasted on the clergy. Population control would
finally work. Everyone would agree on the truth that science has uncovered.
So the sooner we scrap all the religious bunk, the better off we will
be. Everybody wins! |
Currently, children are brainwashed by their parents'
religions, and it takes knowledge to overcome this indoctrination.
Most conversions to the truth occur before the age of thirty on a
single day when an educated thinker realizes for the first time that
religion is nonsense. |
Paul Boyer also wrote, "The intellectual darkness
of the middle ages resulted principally from religious zealots...The
use of observation and experimentation to gain knowledge, as fostered
in the Greek civilization, was suppressed
Selection as a member
of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences represents a pinnacle of
achievement for American scientists. In a recent survey, only 10%
of the members of the Academy retained their religious beliefs
and
only about 5% of biologists believed in a God or a Hereafter... the
enlightenment coming from science [leads] many thoughtful men and
women to question the concept of God." Knowledge of evolution,
DNA, the genetic code and biochemistry combine as the most effective
tools to overcome religious indoctrination. Modern cosmology is also
an effective and complimentary antidote. |

Islam is a difficult major religion to overcome with
knowledge because Muslims believe that all knowledge is contained
in the Koran. Likewise, some Christians seem to think that all knowledge
is contained in the Bible. Some of my older friends know all the antidotes
but still practice their religions. They have become so accustomed
to their beliefs that they prefer their beliefs to facts.

The evidence in the hills confirms Darwin's theory of
evolution. The Catholic version of the theory claims that, at some
point, God injected a soul into the first human. When the first human
mated with an ape, did their child have half a soul? Or were there
several infusions? Or, does God carefully watch and infuse a soul
whenever humans mate? This forces Him to keep busy watching bedrooms,
back seats, the woods, beaches and motels. In Darwin's version, humans
evolve naturally without souls. Darwin needs no God and eliminates
an afterlife. Recognizing the threat that evolution presents, some
try to substitute unscientific creationism for evolution. They want
to protect their beliefs at any cost, as if belief is more precious
than the truth! |
We must diligently teach biology and cosmology to our
young so they are smart enough to see through their indoctrination.
The big secret is to educate our youth with the truth early.
