Karl Popper (1902-1994) was a British philosopher and professor at the London School of Economics. Because he is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century, what Popper had to say about Darwinism is of utmost importance to the desperate cultural struggle fought between creationists and methodological and ontological naturalists. This is because the America of the Founding generation is firmly grounded in the Genesis account of creation, Old and New Testament morality and Christian theism, yet the original meaning and intent of U.S. law — as now controlled and defined by anti-creation naturalism — has been radically changed so that it now reflects the doctrinal decrees of imperialist atheist evolutionary naturalism.
Whereas the Founding generation esteemed the Bible and used it to teach their children to read, comprehend and think logically as well as to properly train them in morality and self-discipline, in contemporary America, God, Bible, the two created sexes, and moral absolutes have been banned in favor of evolutionary science, atheism, moral relativism, pan-sexuality, and self-gratification. The still-unfolding consequences of all of this are destructive and terrible, adversely affecting every level of society from the individual to the family, children, community, and cultural institutions to local and national politics.
In post-Christian pagan America atheist evolutionism is taken for granted throughout the college curriculum, just as it is in all aspects of modern thought and experience, especially within the progressive liberal community. Evolution not only undergirds biological and earth sciences, but also Freudian and Jungian psychology, anthropology, law, sociology, politics, economics, the media, arts, medicine, and all other academic disciplines as well.
Evolution-believers range from atheists and scientists to Luciferian Free Masonry, Luciferian Democrats, Hollywood and music industry satanists, occult New Age spiritists, powerful Transnational Globalists, and large numbers of people who call themselves evolutionary Christians. Among this last group are Liberalized Christians ranging from Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Protestants, and Emergent Church leaders Brian McLaren and Rob Bell, to growing numbers of the Evangelical contemporary Church, together with an increasingly vocal community of Christian scholars and scientists such as Dennis Venema. Venema is a senior fellow at BioLogos Foundation, a Christian group that tries to reconcile the Bible with evolutionary science, and as a consequence teach that humans emerged from apes.
Darwinism is poisoning and destroying America’s traditional foundations, and when the foundations have finally been destroyed, all that is built upon them will be destroyed as well.
Americans have been deceived, and are needful of learning the truth about Darwinism — and all other evolutionary theories, by whatever name they are called.
Evolutionism: Spiritual…not Empirical
Though Popper esteemed evolutionary theory and natural selection, he also forthrightly stated that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory but rather a metaphysical research program. By this he means that not only is Darwinism spiritual, but so are its’ two most important foundations, classical empiricism and the observationalist philosophy of science that grew out of it.
Empiricism is a theory of knowledge that contradicts itself by asserting that human knowledge comes only or primarily via sensory experience rather than the mind while observationalism asserts that human knowledge and theories must be based on empirical observations….instead of the mind. For this reason, Popper argued strongly against empiricism and observationalism, saying that scientific theories and human knowledge generally, is conjectural or hypothetical and is generated by the creative imagination.
In other words, all three theories originated in the mind, a power of which is imagination. As mind is a power of soul, then Darwinism, empiricism, and observationalism are spiritual. In short, all three theories are frauds claiming to be what they are not in order to obtain an advantage over the Genesis account of creation by imposition of immoral means.
In Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828, soul and imagination are respectively defined as:
1. Soul: “The spiritual, rational and immortal substance in man, which distinguishes him from brutes; that part of man which enables him to think and reason.”
The Founding generation knew that mind is a power of soul, and imagination the power by which mind conceives:
2. Imagination: “…the power or faculty of the mind by which it conceives and forms ideas of things communicated to it by the senses….The business of conception (and the) power of modifying our conceptions, by combining the parts of different ones so as to form new wholes of our own creation…(imagination) selects the parts of different conceptions, or objects of memory, to form a whole more pleasing, more terrible, or more awful, than has ever been presented in the ordinary course of nature.”
In conclusion, evolutionism is an invention of imagination, an invention more terrible and more destructive than has ever been presented in the ordinary course of nature. It imagines that the Christian God is dead, that life somehow emerged out of nonlife, that man is not created in the spiritual image of God the Father but is rather a soulless, mindless ex-ape of evolution. It imagines there is no sin, no “hell below us, and above us only sky.”
Evolutionism is an invention of imagination, and it has taken the post-Christian West by storm.

The above makes sense to me. it all boils down to whom you put your faith in: either in what the God Who can do miracles says, or what the unfaithful God-deniers say.
When the Final Judgement comes to pass, I wouldn’t want to be in the same category that the faithless evolutionist God-deniers are in. I’d want to be in the spirit-filled, faithful saint category, trusting the One Who walks on water.
Trust in God, not in men.
amen brother. Why would you choose Lucifer over God? Freedom is the attraction I suppose, but as usual the freedom he offers is slavery but deceives the poor hapless sinner.
There is a “scientific” facade which has been erected to hide the Creator from the masses, particularly in the West. It is propped up by evolution and abiogenesis. Remove these and the artifice will quickly crumble, revealing the Lord Almighty, Holy in majesty and power, beauty and strength.
The shock and indignation I encounter when I kick at these props is laughable. People imagine them to be immovable buttresses, strongholds of immovable power, when in fact they are old rotten bits of lumber. The whole effort of society seems to be aimed at continually shoring up this structure for obvious reasons. Always to hide the truth.
The facade seems to be made of unscientific absolutes. Science as truth. Science as infallible. Science as empirical. Science as good and helpful. Science as saviour. Science as rational. Science as enlightened. Science as creative. Science as cutting edge and new.
Often contrasted with Christianity as false. Christianity as fallible. Christianity as evil and unhelpful. Christianity as irrational and old fashioned etc.
Again we see the old trick, the inverted reality, and the hapless sinner deceived and blinded.
I pray this stronghold will crumble in the mighty name of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Very well said. Amen
