Psych Prof Advocates Human/Chimp Hybrids – But only to Offend Christians - By Hilary White
Quotes and comments;
1. WASHINGTON, July 28, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In an op ed piece in the LA Times, David P. Barash, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington, says that reproductive facilities should work towards creating a race of human/chimpanzee hybrids, but, he admits, only because it would offend Christians.
- Gee; why not do it to offend Muslims and Jews?
2. 'Some geneticists have postulated that their distant evolutionary ancestors may have interbred with those of chimps, and Barash argues that this means there is no moral difference between a human being and a chimpanzee, or indeed, between a human being and a sea sponge.'
- don't you just love these idiot tales from Darwinia. (I think we can assume many of these myth makers have similar motivations to Barash.)
- there isn't a molecule of evidence for this repulsive story. (But then many evolutionists so love to to spit on creationists, that evidence doesn't matter. Some of these people are consumed with hatred.)
- I ask you; would you believe a word this man has to say to you about origins? (And he's merely being more honest than many of his like 'minded' colleagues.)
- I remind you that professors like this like to pretend to be great experts on ethics. (They love being appointed to ethics committees, and get paid a hundred or more dollars an hour to drink coffee and chat people up... or so I'm told.) But this great expert' doesn't know the difference between a human being and a sponge. (Does this mean he also likes to offend sponges :=)
- so why would the LA Times publish such a thing? to offend Christians?
- why would anyone continue to buy this paper? to offend Christians? That sounds irrational to be sure; but so is the story and its publication; not to mention its author.
- here's the endgame of materialism; people are no different than sea sponges... and we know how they get treated. (One wonders why he didn't say no different than rocks.)
- contra idiocy like this, only persons can be moral; but this simple and basic truth is unavailable to the consistent materialist. (With its incumbent continuity among all things.)
3. 'The psychology professor looks forward to the day when IVF facilities will create human/animal hybrids. He reveals, however, that his motivation is not a pure interest in advancing science, but his hatred for “know-nothing anti-evolutionism,” and “religious fundamentalists,” who hold human life to be sacred.'
- psychology professor! You know how debauched and depraved academia is when clowns like this dress up as psychology professors. (Psychology originally referred to the study of the soul.) At least they should sail under an honest flag; but playing word games is all the rage on campus... and no one acts with integrity or honesty. This anti-Christian should call himself what he is, a chimp who hates Christianity and human beings. (Or maybe he should call himself a sea sponge that hates human beings.)
- this kind of demented hatred is the product of not wanting to be a human being, not wanting to be a man. Mr. Barash (mr. Embarashing) wants to live like an animal; he doesn't want to be restrained and governed by the biblical model of man. He wants to be half boy and half animal; and spend his life frolicking on campus the way the dogs do.
4. 'Barash says he advocates interbreeding humans with animals not because it would be a good idea in itself, but because it would offend believers. “In these dark days of know-nothing anti-evolutionism,” he writes, “with religious fundamentalists occupying the White House, controlling Congress and attempting to distort the teaching of science in our schools, a powerful dose of biological reality would be healthy indeed.”
- why is it creatures like barash can't say the word christian? why is it they always use the word 'religious' instead.
- there are no c. fundamentalists in the white house that I know of; certainly not the war mongering socialist george bush.
- how does a chimp know all this? how does a sea sponge?
- healthy? what's healthy and how does this sea sponge know it?
- reality? reality! this from a man who claims there's no moral difference between a human being and a sea sponge! Pretty funny stuff.
5. 'Barash says that creating animal/human hybrids would effectively quash the belief that “the human species, unlike all others, possesses a spark of the divine and that we therefore stand outside nature.”
- if there's no difference (this from our expert on reality) why is it men have these beliefs and animals don't? why is it men have 'psychologists' (or used to) and animals don't?
- how does he know all this? is he a sea sponge prophet?
- you know; I don't see animals suggesting these schemes... I wonder why? after all there's no difference between us. (Or no difference that you highly educated professor can see.)
- if we don't stand outside nature why is he giving us this fool's lecture? I don't see him lecturing sea sponges and other marine creatures.
- if man isn't different why is it people' like this want to offend others in the most vile way they can imagine. I can't see a sea sponge engaging in such fantasies of rage and revenge. I don't see any animals trying to offend sea sponges. (Or even nasty old crabs.)
6. “Should geneticists and developmental biologists succeed once again in joining human and nonhuman animals in a viable organism,” Barash writes, “it would be difficult and perhaps impossible for the special pleaders to maintain the fallacy that Homo sapiens is uniquely disconnected from the rest of life.”
- once again? what's that all about?
- how does Mr. chimp know all this? Is he using a sea sponge for a crystal ball?
- life? there's no such thing as life; there's only various living creatures.
- if Mr. chimp doesn't believe he's uniquely 'disconnected' (whatever that means) why is he a college professor? I don't see sea sponges devoting their lives to teaching lies about human beings and the world in general. (Maybe he's too obsessed with his perverted fantasies to notice such things.)
7. 'One of the ideological offshoots of Darwinsim is radical environmentalism, advocates of which hold that human beings are a kind of virus threatening the earth’s ecosystems. According to the pure materialist philosophy, the environmental threat is directly the fault of “a bogus ‘faith based’ worldview,” the “Judeo-Christian proclamation of radical discontinuity between people and the rest of ‘creation.’”
- only a nitwit who stopped his reading with Lynn White's brief essay could believe such drivel. All people believe human beings and animals belong to radically separate groups.
- intellectual driftwood like this have apparently never studied the destructive practices of communist nations and most 'primitive' tribes. (They seem to know as much about the subject as sea sponges.)
Notes;
1. If human life isn't 'sacred' (as he claims) why does he care what goes on in the world? I don't see animals showing any concern? Why does he care about science? I don't see sea sponge conferences on science. I don't see animals caring about arcane arguments over origins and philosophical questions of continuity or discontinuity. His main claim is so utterly absurd it's a wonder anyone can make it. (Clearly no one believes these claims; not even their most vocal champions.)
2. If there's no moral difference between a human being and a chimp or a sea anemone (sorry, sponge) how can there be any moral difference between human beings? This makes no sense; i.e. if moral differences (or differences in general) don't exist, there can't be any moral standard by which to judge people. (But I guess this is a little too profound for our professor.)
3. If we're going to have such experiments I nominate this moron for the human partner.
- What? you find that comment offensive? If you do you've got all the evidence you need that you are different from a chimp or a sea sponge. They (could they have understood the comment) wouldn't have been offended in the slightest.
4. All 'there is no difference' arguments are self-refuting; because if there truly is no difference there can be no argument. (i.e. if all is one, there is no way way to make a claim, there is no truth, and there is no falsity.)
If there is no moral difference between a human being and a bee (humming) why is Barash getting upset?
