Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge, and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference, unmixed with considerations of a different order.

What we should be teaching are the problems and holes and I think there are legitimate problems and holes in the theory of evolution. And what we need to do is to present those fairly from a scientific point of view. And we should lay out areas in which the evidence supports evolution and the areas in the evidence that does not.

Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge.

Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.

Even scientific knowledge, if there is anything to it, is not a random observation of random objects; for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action.

The decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual. That is why the revolutionary spiritual movements that declare all former things worthless are in the right, for nothing has yet happened.

It Wouldn't Be Called Research
If we knew what we’re doing it wouldn’t be called research….Albert Einstein
I never know what I’m doing…David O Whalen
And since that’s true, …
than by extension
I can safely assume,
without pretension
That most of our great
scientific finds
Were made by people
without truly scientific minds
By people who truly didn’t know
Just exactly what they were doing
Until sometimes just finding
The answer upon the shelf
Well…All of my life I’ve been told
That I’ve never known what I was doing
So now I can feel and be so bold
As to feel much better… about myself

Extremely pissed* off.
I shall castrate the religious oppressors and feed them their scrotums, as they've castrated our minds with their disgusting morals for generations. I speak of a matter of human evolution, most are conditioned and desensitized by society, taught to accept other's beliefs, the truth of the matter is disgusting and infuriating. Think of the history they destroyed, mayans, incas, aztecs, summerians, egyptians, well, fucking* everything to be exact. Millions of tablets, scrolls and artifacts were destroyed because they didn't tell you to lick God's ass and be a good ignorant little sheep. For all we know the ancients had trucks and cranes to help them build pyramids and shit, but Constantine, the author of the new testament, got their first. And think of the god damned scientific advancements that would have been made so much earlier if people would remove Jehova's phallic member from their anus, We would have attained our current understanding of the universe in the middle ages. In sum, anyone who believes in religion is a damned fool and must be killed, we must out grow this filth and focus on our scientific knowledge and become more technologically adept you ignorant mother fuckers*.

Moreover, only a strong and united scientific opinion imposing the intrinsic value of scientific progress on society at large can elicit the support of scientific inquiry by the general public.

Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.

Sonnet: On Knowledge
Knowledge is one thing priceless, people want;
Knowledge is something gained by labor long;
Knowledge is infinite; master, you-can't;
Knowledge is changeable, much like a song.
Knowledge is deeper than the oceans deep;
Knowledge is larger than the Universe;
Knowledge is barely in life, just a peep;
Knowledge if badly used becomes God's curse.
Knowledge remains undiminished, tho' you- share;
Knowledge gives man, a civilised outlook;
Knowledge if improper, you ought to pare;
Knowledge is gained from Nature and by book.
Knowledge can make a man a wiser one;
Knowledge gives Wisdom in the longer run.

Even when Darwin's teaching first made its appearance, it became clear at once that its scientific, materialist core, its teaching concerning the evolution of living nature, was antagonistic to the idealism that reigned in biology.

We are so arrogant, we forget that we are not the reason for evolution, we are not the point of evolution. We are part of evolution. Unfortunately, we believe that we've been created to dominate the planet, to dominate nature. Ain't true.
