The Free Market and Darwinism

Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

I’m a believer in Creationism, but I’m also a believer in science. Albert Einstein also believed this and several scientists today do as well. Believing is a matter of faith at this point and my opinion on this subject is my own interpretation. Consensus with scientist is the universe began with the “big bang”. Consensus is not science, as you can see from the definition of scientific theory in Wikepedia:

A scientific theory can be considered a deductive theory, in that its content could be expressed in some formal system of logic in which its elementary rules are taken as axioms. In a deductive theory, any sentence which is a logical consequence of one or more of the axioms is also a sentence of that theory.

In the humanities, one finds theories whose subject matter does not (only) concern empirical data, but rather ideas. Such theories are in the realm of philosophical theories as contrasted with scientific theories. A philosophical theory is not necessarily scientifically testable through experiment..

The “big bang” seems to be a plausible theory, but like Creationism, it is a matter of faith. If you understand that the Creator’s concept of time is not ours, then Genesis 1 1-31 can make some sense. The Bible says that Adam and Eve lived 100’s of years as did Noah and Abraham. Our human intellect has not necessary evolved to understand all time concepts yet, so hence you have the ignorant unbelievers who deny and make fun of faith and religion.

But these ignorant lefty unbelievers who deny and make fun of religion make science and government their religion. Darwinism has been proven. I believe this. The deductive reasoning that explains fossils and the change of creatures and plants, and the studies of Darwin on Galapagos proves what has happened. Natural selection produces better beasts and foliage. Competition is good.

Scholars have taken the Bible and put the Creation of the earth and heavens at 6000 years ago. That is our concept of time that puts Creation at 6000 years ago.

You may not believe that the Creator did it this way, and all I’m saying is that this is my interpretation. I have faith. Scientist that have faith, use their scientific knowledge to prove Creation. Einstein was trying to do this before he died.

The Communists in office and that reside within our country put their faith in science and government only. They do not wish to believe in a Judeo/Christian God. Global warming is now discovered to be untrue, but the Communists want to tell you the consensus is that global warming is happening. Again, consensus is not science. The numbers were falsified and the scientists will not reveal their data. Oh, that’s some real proof there, you liberal lefty losers. But I digress.

You believe in the natural selection of Darwinism? Then you must believe life is not fair. That there are winners and losers in this world. The lion eats the zebra and that is nature and natural selection.

The Constitution give us all the equal chance to succeed; not equality. If we fail, we must take responsibility, learn from our mistakes, and pull ourselves up and try again.

The key fundamental bedrock of free market Capitalism is the “The Right of Property”. A necessary part of Capitalism is the enforcement of contracts. Someone has to make sure that the law isn’t being broken and that what is promised is actually delivered. That’s where the government does their job, IN A LIMITED WAY.

There is only one country in the world where a person can come up from below the poverty line and go on to make 6 digits annually. Can that happen in Cuba? Russia? Maybe Venezuela?

Capitalism does NOT fix the corruption of man. People will abuse, no matter the system. Communist China, Communist Russia, and the leftist Socialist dictators in South America are prime examples. Power corrupts, and Capitalism is not immune. Capitalism is STILL the best system out there.

Do you really think that in the perfect Socialist state all people will have access to the same political pull? No. People will be less free to affect their own destiny.

The Communists want to suppress religion, and replace government and science as religion. They put their faith heavy into Darwinism. It’s ironic. Communism makes everyone equal (except for the elite plantation owners). Healthcare will give everyone the same equal chance to die within the system (again, except for the elite). They believe the rabble should have the same bad system, while they rise to the top with the best of the best.

If they believe in a tried true science of Darwinism, why would they want to get rid of the “free market” which is nothing more than economic Darwinism?

Dang Foxwood!! What you said is just so profound! WELL SAID my friend!! Right ON!!!

Fox says from above:
“The Constitution give us all the equal chance to succeed; not equality. If we fail, we must take responsibility, learn from our mistakes, and pull ourselves up and try again.

The key fundamental bedrock of free market Capitalism is the “The Right of Property”. A necessary part of Capitalism is the enforcement of contracts.

Fox, I am so proud you’re on our side! This is really a great post!

Good article. There are a couple problems that I see, though.

The theories of both the origin of species and the free market are generally argued not through deductive or inductive forms of reason but through abductive. Abductive reasoning is defined as reasoning that begins with a hypothesis that might explain the data in question.

Darwin, contrary to the title of his work, never explains the origin of any species. He never explains how it all started. We are told that out of some great primordial chaos order emerged. With no intelligent direction; just by chance. The idea of a self perpetuating chaotic state increasing in order and energy violates the second law of thermodynamics and common sense. A pile of crap will decompose. It will not turn into a rose. Order cannot come from disorder without design. Entropy rules.

Many, if not most scientists accept Darwinism as fact and this is a bias that is inherent in their work. Thus, all of their future conclusions become a product of abduction, working from a flawed premise in an attempt to prove their bias; or to satisfy the bias of a benefactor.

Economists suffer from a similar problem. They all have an axe to grind. Some are acolytes of Keynes, some of Friedman. Some put their faith in an invisible hand while others believe in the hand that crushes. Many are employed by a special interest to justify the world view of their employer. Regardless, few are willing to look at the problem of economics objectively, preferring to view them through lenses shaded by their own preconceptions. Again, their reasoning is abductive.

The flaw in both Darwinism and Free Market theory is the idea that neither is free. Both are controlled by their designer. We are what we are because God designed us. What methods he used are entirely up to him; whether we evolved or not is a question that is worthy of enquiry, as long as it is free of preconception and limits.

The bias of those that promote the Free Market is evident in the name of their cause; free. Markets are never free. They are acted upon by a myriad of outside influences, pushing this way and that. Without intervention, all markets will deteriorate. Entropy applies to all things. This being said, the inherent bias of those that promote the free market, that of the invisible hand, forces them through abductive reasoning to espouse theories that are just plain wrong. Ideas such as the markets will always produce the best outcome through some form of Darwinian evolutionary process. Darwinism doesn’t work in nature, why should we assume it will work here.

Markets must be controlled and directed to exist. The problem is in who is doing the controlling. Are the controllers biased towards allowing the self interests of businesses and consumers to drive the market or do the controllers believe in using the power that they posses to satisfy their own needs at the expense of others? Do they want the market to reflect the needs and desires of those it is meant to serve or would they use it to enforce political ideology? Do these controllers believe in their own wisdom, setting it above all else as the only truth worthy of adherence?

Or, will the controller accept that markets, along with everything else, are dependent upon an outside force for their very existence? Further, that this force, this creative power, has established laws to govern the actions of all that it has created; that adherence to these laws and these laws alone are the only way to have true freedom of markets and all else?

The only way markets can be “free” is if we accept our nature, that of created beings dependent upon our creator for our existence. We must accept the laws given to us, those of morality and ethics. If we refuse to place the interests of others alongside our own self interests and work towards the good of all our system will not stand. Greed is not good!

From “The Catechism of the Catholic Church”; 2404 “In his use of things man should regard the external goods he legitimately owns not merely as exclusive to himself but common to others also, in the sense that they can benefit others as well as himself.”188 The ownership of any property makes its holder a steward of Providence, with the task of making it fruitful and communicating its benefits to others, first of all his family.

True free markets require that we understand the reason markets exist in the first place. We are commanded to go forth and “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:28) Markets are an important tool in the fulfillment of this command. It is when we separate them from their nature, the reason our creator created them that we begin to destroy them. We remove them from the source of their energy, and like all systems in nature they decline.

We must return our markets to their truly free state, freedom governed by the laws that will allow it to truly be free. We have to make sure that those that control the markets are themselves controlled by the laws established by the markets creator. Unless this is done, we face collapse. Nothing can survive by flaunting the laws of nature and natures God, including the marketplace.

I don’t think we have much to disagree with Tom. I may not have been clear enough. The laws of science are defined by God. As for the “free market” I did mention that government must have some LIMITED control.

Foxwood,
We generally seem to agree on most things. For some reason my fingers just got itchy this morning and needed some exercise.

It’s good to hear from you, Tom The founding fathers disagreed at times. I don’t think we’re far apart. You made some good points, I may add.

I must say Tom , when your fingers require a workout …THEY REALLY GO FOR IT !! Very interesting ( and lengthy ! ) read tho. Yet I’ve noticed something in both Fox’s and your philosophies that I would like either of you to explain to me how you arrive at a certain conclusion.

I put absolutely no value on ANY of the ‘ human created ‘ theories of a supreme being having ‘ created ‘ what we all exist within. I ‘ve long said that it was man that created gods … not the other way around. I ‘ believe ‘ that this was done so to allow the earlier primitive man to come to terms with certain aspects of nature ( i.e. death , suffering ) that caused him great emotional turmoil without having a ‘ closure ‘ of some sort to explain it to his primitive mind.

Fox , you speak of indoctrination into Socialism and Communism but I am far greater concerned about the brainwashing of future generations with these human created deities that supposedly control our existence. What do you think were the final words of the pilots that flew themselves into a burning ball of fire at the World Trade Center ? Do you really think they’re gettin’ it on with a shitload of virgins ?!

Having said that , I have a question …

How does my certain dismissal of all these fairy tales make me a ‘ lefty ‘ ?

Morbiepoo,
I believe the term used, “ignorant lefty unbelievers” was issued to “ignorant lefty unbelievers” and not “unbelievers”. It’s just the way I read it.

Did I insult you, Morb? I don’t think so. I believe Lady Di got it right. The comment was meant to be directed at “ignorant lefty unbelievers”. Maybe I’m at fault for not making that clear. Hope it causes no other problems.

I didn’t know if you knew, not all of the founding fathers of the United States were Christians (Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Payne ), but they used the Christian religion as the moral fiber of the United States.

You asked how I came to my conclusions, as I stated in the article, my beliefs are my own. I believe in science and God, just as many scientists do today. Einstein’s goal was to prove God does exist.

Morbiepoo?
