Darwinism, Social Engineering and Lark Rise to Candleford

Dr Stephen Hayes has an interesting article over at CSM on the BBC programme Lark Rise to Candleford, which he believes included a blatant piece of Darwin propaganda in a light entertainment drama. Social Engineering anyone?

Jon said...: Yes, I agree that it was blatant Darwinist propoganda. However it was not just the underlying plot that was so bad. The storyline and the acting in that episode was so dreadful that it is likely that many people like myself will have turned off never to watch it again.; 27 January 2010 at 08:16

Who we are

The purpose of this blog is to discuss truth and values in science and society in a respectful manner. Science is often driven by ideology, especially that of naturalism with its secularist agenda. This includes aspects of Darwinism that have become ideological or religious in character, and upholding such naturalistic dogma is often more important than truth in science. Darwinism has a huge impact on society and what it means to be human and this is often overlooked. Other topics will include environmental and social challenges, such as the need to consider human needs in light of risks associated with climate change. The world faces so many environmental and social challenges that there is a need for clarity, truth and sound judgement in society. Topics will include intelligent design, care for creation and the environment, social issues and ethics and third world development, all discussed within a context of God's love, wisdom and power in creation.
