Darwinists Subvert the Youth

By implanting evolutionary notions
into science education, materialists
pose as innocent truth explainers

 

There is arguably no worse answer to a science question than “Stuff happens.” We call Darwin’s alleged mechanism of natural selection as the Stuff Happens Law, because it is entirely based on chance. Mutations are random, and selection is unguided and impersonal (only a person can select). What do you get when you add chance + chance? There is only one possible answer, and it is not engineering, hierarchical body plans, molecular machines, or functional design. Yet the Stuff Happens Law continues to rule biology, masquerading as a law of nature.

There is arguably no worse teaching method than to indoctrinate impressionable students with the Stuff Happens Law, pretending that it is “scientific” – the only rational way to think about the living world. We saw this with Deborah Kelemen’s silly children’s books presenting imaginary creatures “evolving” by natural selection (13 April 2021). It has appeared in celebrations of “Darwin Day” (last week, Feb. 12). We also saw it in David Sloan Wilson’s program “Evolution for Everyone” (3 Sept 2011) that motivates him with evangelistic zeal to indoctrinate children.

Here’s a new example that appeared at The Conversation yesterday. This quasi-scientific website—entirely evolutionary and leftist—contains a series called “Curious Kids,” that “gives children the chance to have their questions about the world answered by experts.” Watch out for anyone presenting him- or herself as an Expert, especially one wearing a white lab coat with a D-Merit Badge pinned on it.

The following example illustrates this fallacy with the hiss of the serpent (sssstufff happenssssss) audible behind the Expert’s mask.

Curious kids: why don’t humans have tails? (The Conversation, 17 Feb 2026). Don’t be fooled by the cute stuffed toys and baby faces in the photos. Darwin Party indoctrination starts gently, yet pervasively, from the first sentences.

The question is innocent enough, deserving of an answer: that’s not the problem. The problem is that this Expert on Darwin Dogma, Mark Grabowski, a Senior Lecturer of Biological and Environmental Sciences at John Moores University in Liverpool, will only give Darwinian notions as answers.

The question about tails was asked by a 12-year-old named Olivia in the Netherlands. Grabowski politely begins, “Great question, and it gets to the heart of what we are as humans.” Will he say that Olivia is created in the image of God with an exceptionally-well-designed body suitable for our role in nature as rational beings and stewards of creation? Scientists used to think that, but not any more!

Grabowski begins his indoctrination with a fallacy of extrapolation, introducing dear Olivia into the imaginary world of Deep Time, the evolutionists’ playground where any Stuff can Happen. He launches from observation into imagination with slippery ease:

Think about your own family – do you have cousins? If so, you and your cousins share grandparents and these are your common ancestors.

Now imagine going back further in time. You and your more distantly related relatives also share common ancestors from longer ago, which you can see on your family tree. And when you look around the world, all living things also share a single common ancestor, which lived between 3 and 4 billion years ago.

Notice how quickly he left science in the dust! Grandparents have nothing to do with evolution. Human history has nothing to do with evolution; even creationists believe in a single common ancestral pair (Adam and Eve). But with the stroke of his magic wand, Grabowski snuck in Darwinist conceptions of universal common ancestry by evolution over billions of Darwin Years, committing the Big Lie tactic with the shameless facility of a snake-oil salesman.

No observation is presented: just a big, bold assertion, made worse by the Glittering Generalities fallacy.

Grabowski’s answer might be partially rescued if he undertook a balanced observational look at the relationship between primate tails and the human coccyx (not a vestigial organ; see 3 April 2024), but it gets worse.

Proceeding from Darwin Dogma to Authoritative Ignorance

His answer continues making assertion after assertion about evolution (see Repetition and Begging the Question in the Baloney Detector). Occasionally he distracts Olivia’s attention with some Half-Truths, but ends up with a total blank. Why don’t humans have tails? Maybe this; maybe that, he drones, raising the perhapsimaybecouldness index past the red line. Final answer: Stuff Happens!

One suggestion is that when the earliest apes shifted to more upright postures and other changes in the way they moved around in trees, their tail became less helpful. So perhaps evolution caused the muscles that had previously been used for tail attachments to instead become part of the pelvic floor.

Did the apes shift their posture by choosing a better way to get around? Did “other changes” occur after rational deliberation? Of course not. Evolution is fundamentally irrational. Whatever happens, it evolved! Evolution is an ever-shifting, Hegelian process of change, where even truth itself evolves. That is how Grabowski thinks.

Another suggestion is that tails disappeared from the earliest apes due to a genetic mistake. When a single short stretch of DNA found in humans and other apes, but not in other primates, was added to mice in a 2024 study, it caused the mice to develop only minimal or no tails.

That has nothing to do with Darwinian evolution, unless you call subtraction progress!

So, despite how amazing having a tail would be to us now, our ancestors may have lost it due to them no longer needing it – or simply because of a chance mistake.

And now, Olivia, you understand why humans do not have tails. You do understand, girl? (He waits for a nod of assent.) Repeat after me: Evolution is a fact. Stuff Happens over billions of years. Everything evolves. Facts evolve. Truth evolves. Believe the narrative. You are getting sleepy. Sleepy. Sleeeepyyyy. (Olivia closes her eyes and enters Fantasyland in her imagination.) Congratulations, young lady; you are now one of us.

Pastors, Christian school teachers, and home school parents: you had better wake up! It is far past time to see what has been going on in “science education” since it was usurped by the Darwin Party. This is NOT Science! It is dogma! They try to call theists “people of faith,” while they themselves are People of Fluff. 

Like a cult, the “Experts” in Big Science, Big Media and Big Education are on a campaign to make your children lose their faith and become mind-numbed robots swallowing the Stuff Happens Law as a Theory of Everything (11 Feb 2026). You had better teach them critical thinking early on, so that they can reason through the fallacies of evolutionary storytelling.

Success will be measured by your children’s ability to stand alone against the pressure of peers and so-called “experts” teaching big lies dressed up as scientific truths. Train them up to become leaders able to refute the foolishness of empty assertions and to teach others by example. Show them how to be bold swimming upstream against a current flowing toward danger. One bold truth-teller can influence many others who, like sheep, might otherwise follow Baal of Peor to their own destruction.
