CHAPTER XXII
HUMANISM - A NEW RELIGION
1945, "Essays of an Atheist", by Woolsey Teller

Very thought provoking. I don't agree with every single statement he made,
about totally ditching a belief in God... but he's got some powerful
thoughts written in this article, there were things he pointed out that made
a lot of sense.

I'll never quite look at war, the same either. Teller points out how Paine
and Ingersoll were by no means Pacifists.

and probably the most notorious "Witch Finder General" Matthew Hopkins.
(According to Encyclopedia of witches and witchcraft by Rosemary Guiley, he
was an unsuccessful lawyer, who ditched his law profession and went into
professional witch hunting as a career). One of the sites I've linked to, I
believe they said he may have been responsible for as many as 400 victims.

Ed Babinski is in the middle of finishing this article where he's located
actual photographs out of historical documentation of actual whale hind
limbs, "rudimentary hind limbs". Creationists have denied the existence of
any photographs. He wrote me, he's got more text to add, including more
photographs. Four photographs were added just a couple days ago.
Awaiting the response of Answers In Genesis/Jonathan Sarfati, PhD, and
others who've denied Cetacean Evolution. Anxiously awaiting their responses.

The myth that transitional fossils do not exist went bust:

with gratitude to WGBH-Boston/PBS for their contribution.
(Includes incredible new photographic evidence for whale evolution,
which various creationist groups have denied existed.)
