Dawkin's Disorder

[Furrowed Brow]

…the essential mental problem which people like Dawkins who are suffering from Darwin's Disorder have with scientists and other normal people who believe in God's creative and supernatural powers.

So if Jcrawford is correct, the implication is that Darwin’s Disorder is an abnormality. Possibly even a mutation ! So question for debate:

What evolutionary place do sufferers of Darwin’s Disorder fill?

And a second question.

What is the evolutionary point of Atheists?

[jcrawford]

As I addressed to him already, I am awaiting for him to show me where in the DSMIV Darwin Disorder is listed and what is its criteria.

Darwin's Disorder is what most of the secular mental health inquisitors who wrote the DSM are afflicted with.

Dawkin's Delusion isn't listed there either, since the criteria for both has already been established in the Christian Handbook and Manual of Mental Health, Salvation and Christian Diagnostics, better known as the Holy Bible.

[jcrawford]

Atheism is symptomatic of the Scientific Syndrome evolutionists are exposed to culminating in Darwin's Disorder and Dawkin's Delusion.

I recognize the language being used here as English. I also recognize(and know what they mean) all the words being used. What I do not understand is how these words got combined in this order.

Organized chaos, mutation and supernatural selection.

Is this stating that I don't belive in god because I am smart and that being smart is some sort of disorder? I will agree that many atheists do not belive in god due to their scientific knowledge. This Jarhead is not one of them.

Glad to hear that you are not afflicted with Dawkin's Delusion, Darwin's Disorder or some other mental variant of Scientific Syndrome.

I undersatnd what you mean Upallnight. I sometimes wonder if JCrawford has any clue to the words he uses and sometimes I think he just makes them up. Anything to fight evolution in the name of psudo-science.

Dawkin's and others of his mentally deluded ilk seem to be resorting to anything in making up a defense for their deluded pseudoscience and atheism.

Here there is no substance. He is simply calling evolution a disorder and delusion and tossing names out as if he had a clue.

The key to success in science is making up a good name for something you believe in.

Christians were once called atheist by the Greco-Romans.

I read a small book by Rushdoony about that. Found the title interesting.

So, when it comes to natural selection, I think we have a clear prediction that nature will favour the ready believers among us.

That is probably due to the supernatural element in nature in the form of human beings.

[jcrawford]

Is Darwin's Disorder your OWN Discovery? And 'Dawkin's Delusion" too??

I am too modest to admit to my own scientific creativity or religious genius.

have a paper published on it?? You know, in a medical journal.

No, I am publishing it here since it is not a medical or physical problem but merely depraved mental conditions and thoughts which afflict such men, so neurologists, psychiatrists and other medical specialists or biologists know nothing about it and probably wouldn't want to touch the story without subjecting it to peer review.

And do you think that rather than mental illness, those phsycological problems are caused by demonic possession?

Like Thomas Szasz, I don't believe in mental illness ever since he called it a myth, and rather than being scientific cases of demonic possession, such disordered and delusionary thinking may simply be the fulfillment of God's promise to send a strong delusion during the latter days.

Topic has been moved to Random Ramblings.

I can see why.

I remember reading this book years ago about organization.
I might still have it.
It was about the behavioral Syndrome in American thinking and corporate life.
I will look for it.
I thought he was going for something interesting.
Then this mental health thing came up which reminded me of the book which was what I was trying to think about earlier.
Sorry but this is ramblings and it is not all my fault it isn't random, completely.
I will look for the book it is yellow and white paperback.
Behavior syndrome, American culture, corporations and big business interests.

jcrawford, what syndrome did atheists suffer from two thousand years ago?

Why do you presuppose that syndromes even existed 2tya?

It's not as if atheism is a relatively new thing.

What is new is that American atheists are coming out of the closet in droves lately. I read where they started a new club somewhere and already have a hundred members signed up. As Dawkin's stated, "Evolution provides atheists with a comfortable solution to the creationist viewpoint and the problem of God."

Further, the word atheist should really be thrown out.

Tell that to the atheists on the Forum.

It's not as if we have a word to label someone who is a non-alchemist, or non-numerologist, or non-astrologist. Do Christians believe in Zeus? No: so then you're also atheists.

Typical Darwinist trick. Confuse everybody!

I have to agree with the other posters and ask if you really care about the meaning of your words.

I employ words like any good wordsmith or artist, choosing each one carefully to express and communicate my full intent and meaning. The study of symbolic meaning in art, science and literature is one of my favorite pastimes.

Believe in genetic mutation? What a misuse of the word "believe."

Misuse? How can you believe such a thing? What interest would you have in evolutionary mutations, natural selection or the supernatural if you did not believe in such things? Belief is essential for being, despite Sarte's claim of man's having no essence.

Saying someone believes in evolution is like saying they believe New York is east of San Francisco.

You do believe that NY is due east of SF, don't you?

Using "believe" when talking about scientific theory is nothing at all like using it when talking about the supernatural.

Belief is belief, I believe, just like faith in whatever you have faith in is still faith.

Admittedly, English can be a problem for evolutionary science. That is why mathematics is the supernatural language used in real science.

As for the evolutionary advantage for not believing in a supernatural creator... it remains to be seen.

How many years do you have left to discover the truth?

I doubt anything of the sort was selected for.

The art of selection is a supernatural capacity given to man by God.

While religion was certainly useful to us in our past, it doesn't mean that religion was selected for necessarily.

Christians have been selected by God to represent Him on earth till His next visit.

It could simply be that religion is a byproduct of other traits we have.

Anything is possible on Darwin and Dawkin's fantasy island.

Anything except supernatural intervention into their dream world, that is.

Dawkin's Delusion isn't listed there [in the DSM] either, since the criteria for both has already been established in the Christian Handbook and Manual of Mental Health, Salvation and Christian Diagnostics, better known as the Holy Bible.

My concordance of the said Holy Bible did not locate any reference to "Scientific Syndrome", "Darwin's Disorder", "Dawkin's Delusion" or even the correctly spelled "Dawkins' Delusion". Please, if you are going to reference a mental disorder, use the name of the disorder as it is used in whatever reference that you find it in. It would save a lot of confusion, if you would not make up new words.

Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

So now you claim all psychologists/psychiatrists who wrote the DSMIV are afflicted with this disorder. You are right, it isn't listed in it. Why because it is a disorder of the imagination, apparently yours.
