Jonathan Wells, author of Zombie Science, wrote to tell us:

How am I planning to celebrate the day? By wishing Happy Birthday to Abraham Lincoln.
A biologist wrote years ago that we should celebrate Darwin’s birthday instead, because Lincoln only freed some slaves while Darwin freed our minds.

Because of Darwin we have abandoned reason.

Oh, what a cute ‘biologist’.
Speaking of the ‘mind’, let’s note that, curiously, our atheist/ materialist/evolutionist friends can not explain it. 🙂

“Thus, the question of how the mind emerged in evolution (the mind-evolution problem) is tightly linked with the question of how the mind emerges from the brain (the mind-body problem). It seems that the evolution of consciousness can not be resolved without first solving the “hard problem” (Chalmers, 1995).

“Until then, I argue that strong claims about the evolution of consciousness based on the evolution of cognition are premature and unfalsifiable.”
