Only 150

““ Next week is a big anniversary day. Feb 12 this year marks the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. On the same day, across the pond, Charles Darwin was born. And that's not all. The day also marks the sesquicentennial of the publication of his book, The Origin of Species.
You'd think 150 years is ample time for people to understand evolution, but some still claim it's only a "theory". Perhaps they still believe that the earth is flat and the sun goes around the earth.
Propinquity noun: Nearness in space, time or relationship.
From Latin propinquitas (nearness), from prope (near).
"I believe that ... propinquity of descent, -- the only known cause of the similarity of organic beings, -- is the bond, hidden as it is by various degrees of modification, which is partially revealed to us by our classifications."Charles Darwin; On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection; 1859. ””

I do still believe that there are people who don’t think.
There IS NO proof that there IS propinquity of descent !
The kind of proof that is being heralded would Never stand up in ANY court of law – (except where the judge is pre judiced and the lawyers are Not at all concerned with the truth and no one knows of the word Justice let alone ever thinks of it or tries to enact it).
We used to laugh at the ‘World Series’ in the States. The Only teams ever entered were ? USA. The ‘World Cup’ sailing. Ditto. Charlie on the other hand DID know of an other ‘cause of the similarity of organic beings’.

Did a drop out from the Hindu religion dream up evolution?
Did a drop out from any of the other old religions of the world dream up evolution?

I AM suppppprised !
ONLY one hundred and fifty years. ONLY one hundred and fifty, and this author is already assuming that some of us are, well, a little slack at best. Just exactly how long DID the world believe that the world was flat ? ? Just how long did people believe that the sun revolted around the earth ? ? And He says that a mere one hundred and fifty years should be ample time for people to be brain washed …
Brain washed? Yes ! After alllll ….
Out went flat earth
Out went Terra Firma Epicenter
AFTER more than a millennium …
And millions of people (some quite smart ones too) firmly believed …

Lets just wait for a millennium and then we will see if Charlie’s cause is set so firmly in truth.
