logical fallacy of its victims
Line 1: Line 1:  
'''Evolution [[syndrome]]''' is the tendency of some people to insist compulsively that human [[evolution]] from animals ''must'' somehow be true, and to spend nearly all of their time pushing that belief on others.  It is reflected on the [[internet]] by people who devote over 90% of their edits and postings to pushing their belief in evolution and insisting on [[censoring]] or demonizing alternative views of the issue. They are particularly against teaching any alternative theories to children in school, sometimes claiming that this will harm children's critical thinking. A childish insistence on [[last wordism]] is a common characteristic of evolution syndrome.

Evolution syndrome blinds its victims to the logical fallacy of their [[materialism]]:  if human senses have merely evolved, then it is to be expected that human senses have not developed to the point of being able to detect all of reality.  Much of reality would still be "unseen" to an evolving human.  Yet victims of evolution syndrome insist that there is nothing unseen, and no [[God]].
