Oh wow, this guy's awesome:
"Darwinism, by arguing that life and the entire universe are the work of blind chance, is easily the most dangerous ideology confronting us today. It formed the basis of all harmful movements, including communism and fascism, devastating mankind. Despite its scientific refutation time and again there are still those who seek to keep Darwinism alive purely for ideological reasons."

What, all of them? Ever? Here's was me thinking that the Spanish Inquisition were a bunch of overly zealous religious lunatics, when obviously they were in fact secret sect of Darwinists so powerful that they existed even before Charle Darwin was born =D Obviously the whole heresy and witch burning thing was a decoy story cooked up by evil evolutionists to disguise the terrible truth.
And the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre where about 70,000 protestents were killed for their beliefs by Catholics, who'd have thought that it was the Darwinists to blame all along...
"From an evolutionist’s point of view, it’s entirely unacceptable for men—whom they regard as the highest rung on the evolutionary ladder—to try to draw inspiration from (much less imitate) other living things which, allegedly, are so much more primitive than they are."

I can see the guy's point here, but I think it's rubbish all the same. Why does the fact that an Amoeba is a less evolved life form mean that we can't study and learn from it? This statement is simply prejudiced, it's saying "All Darwinists have this Attitude", like me turning around and saying "All Christians blame Jews for killing Christ", just taking a stereotype and using it to make a flawed argumentative weapon.
Anyways, I can't prove to you that evolution created mankind, in just the same way that you can't prove to me that God exists. Sure you can pick holes in Darwinism, but I can pick holes in Christianity too, and have done. Picking holes in things is fun and (imo) productive, it forces people to defend their beliefs, which makes them think more about them and learn from them.
One thing I would say is that although Darwinism is an unproven (possibly unprovable) theory, Evolution itself is not. The process of evolution does exist and it does work, there's a whole area of computer science (Genetic Algorithms or Evolutionary Programming) dedicated to using the principles of evolution to solve problems. Banks use it to predict financial markets, researchers use it to design robots and develop neural networks. If you like I can even e-mail you an explanation on how you can use evolution to solve a simple problem...

There is Only Light.
Light Is All There Is.
All That Is Is Light
The subjective Nature of Light is Self-Radiant Being, Transendental Consciousness, or Consciousness Itself.
The Subjective Nature of Light Is God, or Truth.
When Light, or God, Is Objectified To Itself, It Appears As The Cosmic Mandala (Five Pointed Star at the Center) Of all conditional worlds, forms, and beings.
Thus, Light, or God, Utterly Pervades all conditional worlds, forms, and beings.
All conditional worlds, forms, and beings Thus Inhere In, Are Lived or Sustained By, Are Not Other Than, and Can Directly Realize A State Of Perfect Identification With Light, or God.
Light, or God, Is The Literal or Inherent Condition, Substance, Reality, Quality, and Destiny Of all conditional worlds, forms, and beings.
Light, or God, Is Never Absolutely Objectified, Nor Does Any Apparent Modification Of Light, or God, As any conditional world, form, or being, Qualify or Really Limit The Subjective Nature Of Light, or God.
Even though Light, or God, May Appear To Be Objectively Modified and Limited As and By conditional worlds, forms, and beings, The Subjective Nature Of Light, or God, Remains As Always Already Free Being, Inherent and Undiminished Consciousness, and Self-Radiant Bliss.
Therefore, The Cosmic Mandala, or any conditional world, form, or being, Need Not Evolve Perfectly, Fulfill itself Perfectly, Be Utterly Purified or Released, or Even Come To An End For Light, God, or The Real Condition to be Realized.
For Light, God, or The Real Condition To Be Realized, It Is Only Necessary For The Subjective Nature Of Light, God, or The Real Condition To Be Realized.
The Way of Realization of Light, God, The Real Condition, Truth, Bliss, or Happiness Is Not The Search For Fulfillment or Release In The Context Of Objectified Light, or God (Which is The Context Of The Cosmic Mandala, or conditional worlds, forms, and beings), but It Is To Identify With The Subjective Nature Of Light, or God (Which Is Always Prior To The Cosmic Mandala, or all conditional worlds, forms, and beings).
Consciousness (Which Is That To Which and In Which conditional worlds, forms, thoughts, beings, and self Are arising As Apparent Modifications Of Objectified Light, or God) Is Light, or God Itself.
Consciousness Is The Subjective Nature Of Light, Energy, or God.
Consciousness Is The Subjective Nature Of The Cosmic Mandala and all conditional worlds, forms, thoughts, and beings, including one's own self.
Consciousness Is Self-radiant Bliss, Happiness, or Unqualified Beings.
Consciousness Is That In Which or As Which any being Always Already Stands.
Therefore, To Identify With Consciousness Is Also To Realize Freedom, Eternal Being, Bliss, Happiness, and Love (or The Self-Radiant Nature Of Light, Energy, or God).
whatever arises conditionally or objectively is Only An Apparent, Temporary, and Illusory Modification Of Light, energy, Bliss, Love, or God.
Whatever May Appear To Be The Case objectively (Even In such a subtle form as thought) Is Only Light, or God, Appearing To Be Objectified (or Appearing As conditions), but It Is Thus Appearing Only To Itself and As Itself.
If, In The Context Of any objective event or condition (including thought), The Consciousness To Which and In Which that event or condition Is arising Is Located (As The Native and blissful Feeling Of Being Itself), The that objective event or condition Is Inherently and Perfectly Transcended In The Subjective nature or Reality or Condition of Light, or God.
Consciousness, or Light, or God, Is Bliss, Always Already Free, Never Changing.
All Modifications (all changes or conditions) Are Merely Apparent, or Illusory.
Apparent Modifications (or changes or conditions) Do Not Change Consciousness, Light, or God, Except Apparently, From the point of view Of The Modification (or the condition, or conditional being) Itself.
All conditional Modifications Are Illusory or Non-Binding appearances In The Objective (or Objectified) Aspect, Nature, Appearance, or Illusion Of Light, or God.
To Identify With Consciousness (Prior To world, form, mind, others, or self) Is To Realize The Subjective or Prior Nature and Reality Of Light, or God.
The phenomenal or conditional worlds Are Neither Necessary Nor Binding.
The arising Of phenomenal or conditional Existence Carries With it No Command or Implication Of Necessary Involvement On The Part Of The Subjective Being.
We Are Always Already Free To Identify With The Subjective Nature Of Reality and Thus To Transcend objective or conditional Existence Itself, As Well As Any Apparent Implication, Tendency, or Need For Involvement In It.
In The Realization Of The Subjective Nature Of Light, or God, all apparent or objective Light-changes Are Inherently Recognized and Transcended In The Free Bliss Of Light, or God.
To Realize Light (or To Be Literally Enlightened), or To Realize God (or To Be One With The Only One Who Is), Is To Be Transcendental Consciousness, or Transcendental Light, The Substance Of Existence, The Real Condition Of Existence, or Happiness Itself.
Liberation Through god-Realization (or Direct Identification With The Subjective Truth or Condition Of Existence) Is Senior To (and Makes Obsolete) Any Effort Of the conditional self To Be Lawful, Purified, Evolved, Fulfilled, Ended, or Released.
This Is The Seed-Essence and Import Of Religion and Esotericism.
This Is The See-Essence Of My Teaching and The Way That I Teach.
The Persuasiveness Of This Argument Rests On An Understanding Of Light Itself, An Understanding That Is Even Common To Mankind In this epoch informed by the theories and discoveries of modern science.
The Persuasiveness Of This Argument Does Not Rest On arbitrary, historical, or controversial systems of belief and conditional proof.
The Argument Is Persuasive Because It Rests On The Obvious, and It Is, Therefore, Irrefutable.
The Truth Of This Argument Is Self-Evident.
The Efficacy Of This Argument Can Be Demonstrated Only by The Direct and Real Process Of Realization Itself.
