Wys my wie jou vriende is geld hier

Ek reageer op Evo Lusi, Groot Karoo, se kommentaar (DB, 15.06.2009) op my brief,  "Dalk misleidende evolusie-aanspraak" (DB, 13.06.2009).

Evo Lusi sê : "Dis anti-evolusie fundamentaliste soos dr. T.C.Breitenbach wat sorg dat die ou volkie nooit verder as feetjies en kabouters opgevoed sal word nie. Dis baie dom."

Evo Lusi, indien Christenwees en "fundamentalis" vir u sinonieme begrippe is, noem my dan gerus 'n fundamentalis. Om met  "die ou volkie"  geassosieer te word, beskou ek as 'n pluimpie.

Besef  Evo Lusi dat ook hy/sy 'n "fundamentalis" is? In sy boek, The God Delusion, sê evolusionis en selfverklaarde ateïs, Richard Dawkins,  "Fundamentalist Christians are passionately opposed to evolution and I am passionately in favour of it. Passion for passion we are evenly matched...that...means we are equally fundamentalist."

Is Evo Lusi goed ingelig aangaande die verband tussen evolusie en die Godslasterlike ateïsme? Dawkins help hiermee wanneer hy sy posisie as evolusionis stel : "I am attacking God..."  Dawkins sê duidelik :  "...I am talking only about...Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament", en vervolg dan uitdruklik : "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction : jealous and proud of it ; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak ; a bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a homophobic, racist, genocidal, pestilential, sadomasochistic, malevolent bully."

Vir my as Christengelowige, is dit naakte Godslastering en absoluut onaanvaarbaar. Vir Dawkins kan God/'n god net die eindproduk van evolusie wees. Hy sê : "... any creative intelligence, of sufficient complexity to design anything, comes into existence only as the end product of...evolution."

Evo Lusi, die spreekwoord : "Wys my wie jou vriende is", geld ons beide. Ons het duidelik verskillende vriende.
