Lawrence J-E Poole - The neurons in your brain are linked into neural paradigms... that are influencing your mind
Paradigm paralysis pushes an individual or a group to believe that their way is the only way - the one correct and true way - to see an event, a situation, a problem or a circumstance. *

TED - Emily Levine: A theory of everything
When you're only surrounded by people who speak the same vocabulary as you, or share the same set of assumptions as you, you start to think that that's reality.

The paradigm in the world of mainstream science today is evolution theory. Despite being based on the unprovable philosophy naturalism it is sold to the world as a fact. This of course resulted in the acceptance of evolution theory by many people around the world of which the majority doesn't even know the very basics of evolution theory or of science. There are hardly any TV documentaries about nature in which evolution is not promoted in one way or another. Evolution has become a mental construct in this materialistic world because it is being heavily propagandized by mainstream science organizations.

Eugenie Scott - Scientific Theories
Facts are interesting, but they're not terribly exciting. Hypotheses help us build theory. Theories are the most important things in science. Theories mean explanation. But laws are broken, both in science as well as in.... euh... the real world. Laws are not as important as theories, because theories explain laws. Theories are most important! Then come laws, hypotheses, and facts. Facts don't explain anything.

Eugenie Scott served as Executive Director of NCSE, a powerful mainstream science organization. This prominent evolutionist says that theories are more important than facts and laws in science. That's a striking statement which I believe reveals much about what's going on in the world of mainstream science. Here's another example of what another self-proclaimed monkey descendant said...



Stephen Jay Gould - Evolution as Fact and Theory
Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered. *

What a blurb this man produced. Fanatic evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould also once said: Although I have frequently advanced wrong, or even stupid, arguments, at least I have never been lazy.* He was a fanatic evolutionist who compared evolution to the law of gravitation. Macroevolution is not science because it is not even observable while gravitation is testable and its effect is observable in everyday life. At the end of this quote he even admits that they simply do not know how evolution takes place. Evidence for microevolution is not evidence for macroevolution even though many evolutionists present it that way.



According to a prominent member of the New Atheists...
Richard Dawkins - The Scotsman: From tail to tale on the path of pilgrims in life
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some ten billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing - is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice. And even that is not the end of the matter. Not only did evolution happen: it eventually led to beings capable of comprehending the process, and even of comprehending the process by which they comprehend it. *

Richard Dawkins is a fanatic evolutionist who is cocksure that evolution theory, based on unprovable assumptions like abiogenesis and uniformitarianism, is a fact. Here's an interesting quote from Bertrand Russell, another atheist and evolutionist...

Bertrand Russell - Mortals and Others, Volume 1
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Of course a theory based on the unprovable philosophies naturalism and uniformitarianism can never be called a fact. At least not by reasonable people. Richard Dawkins mentions some of the biggest mysteries to science: the big bang and abiogenesis. These are one-time irrepeatable events that are beyond the limits of science and based on assumptions. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments. The world of mainstream science propagandizes the idea of evolution theory over fact.

Arthur Conan Doyle wrote: It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts.* Stephan Lewandowsky said: The role of worldview presents a formidable challenge to science communicators because ideology may override any factual information.*
In the world of evolution theory that ideology is unprovable naturalism.

Facts and laws are uncontroversial while theories are controversial and can never offer absolute truth about the facts or laws. Theories are human explanations for observable natural phenomena. Theories are necessarily driven by worldview or philosophy and can be completely wrong. From a scientific point of view the idea of "theory over fact" is very dangerous. So, what we clearly see in the world of mainstream science is that the evolutionists who run it promote evolution theory as a fact. Atheists like Richard Dawkins call unobservable irrepeatable one-time unscientific events and illogical ideas "staggering facts beyond any doubt". However...

Karl Popper - The Logic of Scientific Discovery
The game of science is, in principle, without end. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game. ... Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

Evolution is the religion of the atheists.

Michael J. Mahoney - Publication Prejudices: An Experimental Study of Confirmatory Bias in the Peer Review System
If we selectively "find" or communicate only those data that support a given model of behavior, then our inquiry efforts will hardly be optimally effective. Despite the fact that confirmatory bias in scientists was first noted by Francis Bacon over three centuries ago, precious little research has been devoted to the topic and the few extant studies have hardly challenged Bacon's observations. One study found that the vast majority of scientists drawn from a national sample showed a strong preference for "confirmatory" experiments. Over half of these scientists did not even recognize disconfirmation (modus tollens) as a valid reasoning form! In another study the logical reasoning skills of 30 scientists were compared to those of 15 relatively uneducated Protestant ministers. Where there were performance differences, they tended to favor the ministers. Confirmatory bias was prevalent in both groups, but the ministers used disconfirmatory logic almost twice as often as the scientists did. *

Cognitive biases may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, or what is broadly called irrationality. Irrationality is for example the belief that nothing became everything, dead matter turned into life and simple turned into complex by means of mindless naturalistic processes while in hardcore reality specified information is only caused by intelligent agents. A simple fact of life that most evolutionists either can't grasp, or simply won't.
