I am reminded of a program that...I love this post. I am reminded of a program that I once watched where they did a follow up on the genius sperm bank group. The daughter of a donor found her father, who as a neo-Darwinian naturalist had a smug view that his job was to spread his gifted seed to the wind. The poor girl went to him looking for an emotional connection with a father, what she got was a dismissive arrogant horse's rear end. As you watched her deflate more and more every moment she was in his presence,it became a remarkable and tragic demonstration that we are more that material. Also, it was an object lesson on the failure of naturalism to meet the needs of our spirits. The crass idiot was right in so far as his worldview condoned his actions. His biological daughter served to show us all how shallow and insufficient that worldview is in relation to actual people.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the post. It was a pleasure to read.<BR/><BR/>JayJay Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298001988620531769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-1927904731451158152007-06-29T12:55:00.000-07:002007-06-29T12:55:00.000-07:00Bob,I actually just got a cold chill down my back....Bob,<BR/>I actually just got a cold chill down my back. As I read your post, it reminded me of an episode of the always philosophically relevant show, Star Trek. There is a group of people who live in the city in the clouds. They are all the "superior" ones. They play beautiful music, do fine works of art, all that brainy stuff. Meanwhile, below ground, in the dark mines, there are groups of the genetically "inferior" who do all the back breaking work in the world, having been enslaved by the smart people. Why? Because the people in the clouds had decided that the ones below can not possibly be expected to do more than manual labor, because they were gentically inferior to those who had enslaved them. They made the case that it was the best for all concerned since the miners were like children mentally. This is just creepy! I had to see a genetics counselor when I was told about Donna Joy's problems. She was very much against giving my daughter life. I had been under the impression that she was going to tell me how to help my baby, when really, she tried to talk me into aborting her and even tried to discuss giving her body to "science", you know, for the "greater good". I think she has served the greater good by living! LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
