False Reality

This is another clip from the Dilbert cartoon series. I love the Dilbert office comic that runs in the newspaper every day because it is surprisingly relatable. The cartoon is a bit different though as it involves other topics like the concepts of morality and various evolutionary ideas. While I often grind my teeth over the way most cartoons and shows portray these issues I got a great kick out of how this cartoon addressed the issues. While I don't take Dogbert's (the dog) side specifically, I love the things he addresses against Dilbert who is an evolutionary proponent.



Clip Focus 1
News Caster: "...and we'll implicitly mock the people who hold opposing viewpoints."
Dilbert: "Evolution is a scientific fact, unless your ignorant."
While I can't know the intention of the writer who put this in, I can say that it is accurate to a large extent. I can go online at virtually any site and be mocked by dozens, yet the few Christians around will rarely return fire. Whether the evolutionists think it is fact or not their should be no call for insults and personal attacks if truth is your foundation. This is becoming far more apparent to people as noted in recent polls and commentaries from film directors; that the average evolutionist is hard nosed and loud by comparison to the average Christian. The reason? I'm sure their are many, but none will ever validate the belief and likewise the belief does not validate hostility. Still I'm glad it is so, as it makes our jobs easier in the long run.

Clip Focus 2
Dilbert: "Theirs extensive fossil records!"
Scientist: "It's a skull fragment of our earliest ancestors; I have found the missing link!"
News Caster: "Thanks to computer graphics, and clay, we have reconstructed the missing link."
Here in the clip we see one of the evolutionists claimed strongholds (though it only speaks against them) the fossil records. How does it actually speak against them? As the scientist and news person note, their are no (I repeat no) transitions between species; hence the ongoing title "the missing link". That alone should negate it as a proof of evolution, but then their are the dozens of fakes where persons find a piece and attribute to it more information than it actually provides. A prime example of this is the Lucy skeleton, which is in fact a handful of bone fragments not a whole skeleton. (Lucy has since been proven to be no "missing link".) These are often (as the clip noted) just evolutionists making unfounded claims that fragmental evidence equals a missing link. Arranging information and assuming end results is not what I would call scientific.

Clip Focus 3
Dogbert: "My theory is that all the species that ever existed are still around, they're just hiding."
Dogbert: "Hi Bob."
While I do not quite get behind Dogbert here, he makes a wonderful point; that of "living fossils". Living Fossils are those creatures that were thought to have died out millions of years ago and yet have resurfaced after some time to prove themselves as existent. For evolutionists this raises a series of startling questions such as why hasn't it evolved in the "millions of years" it supposedly has existed? According to them it aught to have evolved a little, but no fossil, living or dead, has ever shown this. Another good question is if this creature has been around and they didn't think it was how many others that we count as extinct are their below the surface? In any case, none of these are a problem for Bible believers as this is just what one would expect given the biblical history therein.

It was surprising to me to see an evolutionistic cartoon character get the short end of the stick again in full view of the public and since it won't happen often I thought it worth mentioning.
