The first great fall of man, that we know about, happened with Adam and Eve. Man was expelled from paradise, the Garden of Eden. Paradise was lost.But then thousands of years later, in 1859, the world, looked at from the point of view of the British Empire, was living in another golden age, perhaps in a new Garden of Eden, as if we’d somehow managed to find our way back into Eden. But then, perhaps even more startling, a new revelation was unveiled to us when the scales fell from our eyes. God didn’t create man, man created God. Freud revealed this staggering truth to us. As we all know today, Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, in his 1859 published book, The Origin of the Species, killed the very idea of God. At least that’s what we’re told, or was that just fake news. So let’s look closely at Mr Darwin and his contribution that lead to the cover story on Time magazine of 22 October 1965 asking, Is God Dead?Tag words: Adam and Eve; Garden of Eden; Charles Darwin; Theory of Evolution; The Origin of the Species; God; Is God Dead; New Atheists; Richard Dawkins; Genesis; William Whewell; natural philosophers; John Ray; Carolus Linnaeus; Daniel Solander; Captain Cook; Sir Joseph Banks; HMS Beagle; Georges-Louis Leclerc; Comte de Buffon; James Ussher; Archbishop Ussher; Daniel Boorstin The Discoverers; God of the Gaps; Sir Isaac Newton; the Creation;
Carl Sagan was probably the best known scientist in the West in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1980 his 13 part series, Cosmos, aired and was a spectacular hit. In the very opening of the series he told his audience this:So according to Carl Sagan, the cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. To elaborate he meant that the universe was made only from things in our universe -- matter and energy. Explicitly he was saying that there is no God. That was not a statement of the finding of science, made by him as a scientist, it was a statement of Carl Sagan’s personal belief.But then just a year later Francis Crick, one of the discoverer’s of DNA, the famous double helix, an atheist, said something quite disturbing, well for an atheist that is:"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."Stephen Meyer’s book, The Return of the God Hypothesis, published in 2021, may have delivered the final death blow to the popularist atheism that Carl Sagan had opened his Cosmos series with. Today all the science seems to be going against any belief that there’s no Creator outside the universe. But more than that, the fall of atheism, if that’s what we’re witnessing, taken to its logical conclusion, spells the end of the West’s self loathing and weird ideologies that are based on the view that the Bible is not the truth and a return to societies based on Judaeo Christian values – which Tom Holland in his book Dominion, said was and is the reason for the success of the West – or more precisely societies that are governed in accordance with God’s laws and ethics as revealed in the Bible. For the West, and the world, I believe, this will come as a great liberation. This series will explore all of those issues and their ramifications.Tag words: Carl Sagan; Cosmos; Francis Crick; DNA; double helix; atheist; Stephen Meyer; The Return of the God Hypothesis; Tom Holland; Dominion; Bible; John Lennox; Big Bang Theory; Fred Hoyle; Charles Darwin; The Origin of the Species; Geraint Lewis; Luke Barnes; A Fortunate Universe; Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation; anthropic coincidences; Goldilocks universe; Genesis 2:7; Richard Dawkins; The Greatest Show on Earth; Dr Stephen Iacoboni; The Undying Soul;

In his book, 12 Rules for Life, Jordan Peterson wrote:So why not call this a book of "guidelines," a far more relaxed, user-friendly and less rigid sounding term than "rules"?Because these really are rules. And the foremost rule is that you must take responsibility for your own life. Period.One might think that a generation that has heard endlessly, from their more ideological teachers, about the rights, rights, rights that belong to them, would object to being told that they would do better to focus instead on taking responsibility. Yet this generation, many of whom were raised in small families by hyper-protective parents, on soft-surface playgrounds, and then taught in universities with "safe spaces" where they don't have to hear things they don't want to—schooled to be risk-averse—has among it, now, millions who feel stultified by this underestimation of their potential resilience and who have embraced Jordan's message that each individual has ultimate responsibility to bear; that if one wants to live a full life, one first sets one's own house in order; and only then can one sensibly aim to take on bigger responsibilities. The extent of this reaction has often moved both of us to the brink of tears.Sometimes these rules are demanding. They require you to undertake an incremental process that over time will stretch you to a new limit. That requires, as I've said, venturing into the unknown. Stretching yourself beyond the boundaries of your current self requires carefully choosing and then pursuing ideals: ideals that are up there, above you, superior to you—and that you can't always be sure you will reach.Life is not always easy, not always in your control. How would this generation have coped in the Nazi Death Camps. Dr Frankl answered that question – because he had just done exactly that.Tag words: Jordan Peterson; 12 Rules for Life; safe spaces; responsibility; life; Dr Frankl; Man’s Search for Meaning; Nazis; meaning of life; Rainer Marie Wilkie; SS; death camps; gas chambers; Auschwitz; Lord's Prayer; Shema Yisrael; victimhood; oppressed; tragic optimism; logotherapy;

Many experts all around the world tells us that kids as young as 3 are mature enough to make decisions about whether they want to transition to the sex opposite their birth sex – which is not possible anyway. A good way to test the level of maturity of teenagers, who of course are much older than 3, is to look at a few of the top recent TikTok challenges. After you’ve heard what they are – you tell me if these people have achieved the mature minds that you normally have to be in your mid-20s to be able to make whole of life decisions.

To do her Report into the operation of gender dysphoria clinics thoroughly, and to get to the bottom of issues such as why children / young people are presenting with gender confusion – and how their treatments worked for them – especially in the long term, Dr Cass needed the co-operation of National Health Service Gender Identity Development Service and its clinics. They said no. Why?

With the tsunami of children self-identifying as transgender, the medical profession has enthusiastically plunged into the dark, knowing nothing of the impacts of the use, particularly long term of puberty blockers/. That’s because no one’s done the research. Anyway what harm can that do besides a few severe and often irreversible side effects, including impairing the cognitive development of the brain, decreasing bone strength, damaging cardiovascular health, and causing infertility – other than that they’re terrific.
