Faint At Heart

A constantly cited weakness in Darwin’s theories is the idea that he set his theory, principally, on the evidence of variation in domestic animals and cultivated plants. I am attempting to secure a stable basis for Darwin’s evolution theory in the variations of species in a state of nature. While the accurate amount and precise quality of these variations is of paramount importance in the various problems that arise when we use the theory to explain the facts of nature, it’s crucial to indicate the actual variations as they are found to exist in a sufficient amount of species. By doing this, we not only have a better and more accurate approximation of variation, we will gain a base of fact by which to test the statements and dissents usually put forth on the study of specific variability. This will reveal that, throughout the study, I refer to to these charts and the facts they illustrate, even as Darwin was given to draw upon his observations of variation among dogs and pigeons.

I have also made what seems to me a fundamental change in my study of the subject. Rather than undertake first the relatively difficult and unfamiliar particulars of variation, I will start with the Struggle for Existence, which is the key phenomenon on which natural selection depends. Then I will explore the particular facts which are relatively familiar and more interesting. My report will have the additional advantage of looking specifically at how natural selection plays in natural environments.

I do admit that my observation contains divergences from some of Darwin’s opinions, nonetheless my entire work tends forcibly to illustrate the utmost importance of Natural Selection over all other processes in the creation of new species. I therefore take up Darwin’s early position, which he modified in later editions of his writings. The fact of natural selection and its influence on the mutation and development of species is the Darwinian doctrine, and on that account, I am a devout advocate of pure Darwinism.

It’s interesting to note the emergence of scientists of the Christian faith who support the new intelligent design theory. Their theory dwells someplace between the purely Biblical opinion of creation theory on the one side and Darwin’s theory of evolution. See the artwork by Michelangelo Adam and God.

Astrology Myth says that Pluto quite literally abducted Proserpina (also known as Peresophne) to the underworld to marry her, and live with him in Hades. Ceres (Roman mythology) also known as Demeter (Greek mythology) was Prosperina’s mother. Demeter was so traumatized by her daughters abduction that she had to petition Zeus (Jupiter/ law and order) the father of Prosperina, to broker a deal and get her daughter back. Long story short, a deal was brokered and Prosperina was allowed to live above ground for 6 months of the 12 month year; this meant that from September to March (Fall and Winter) Prosperina had to live underground with her unwanted, and abducting husband Pluto; when she reappeared in Spring she brought new life and beginnings to the physical world.

Both Mr Garrido (August 28-2009) and Mr. Fritzl (March 26 2008) epitomize these Plutonian forms of actions and behavior; each one an abductor, each fathering children with children, and each one remaining uncaptured for decades. Mr Fritzl as you may know, literally kept his daughter underground, never allowing her out of the basement of his home; however both of these men exhibited the very nature represented by Pluto through abduction, rape, and imprisonment.

There are 800,000 child abductions reported each year or about 2,000 a day in the U.S. (World News, 7-8-2009), and each year these statistics are increasing. We as a culture have disbanded from the family unit and of raising our children as a village once did, loosing sight of are our most valued and treasured resources which are our children; how could it appear otherwise with these shocking statistics.
