WATCH: Yale Professor Turns Against Darwinism, Warns Darwinians ‘Will Destroy You If You Challenge’ the Theory
David Gelernter, prominent writer and Yale University professor, believes it’s high time for people to drop Charles Darwin’s outdated theory of evolution. . .
Gelernter, who has been a proponent of Darwinism since childhood, argued that the longstanding theory of evolution simply doesn’t give a thorough enough explanation of, perhaps, the most important component of modern science: the actual origin of species. . .
He pointed out that the concept of intelligent design is not necessarily his favorite theory, but insists that it is an “absolutely serious argument,” pointing out that the theory is the very “first, and obviously most intuitive that comes to mind.” . . .
“I have to distinguish between the way I’ve been treated personally, which has been a very courteous and collegial way by my colleagues at Yale, they’re nice guys and I like them, they’re my friends,” he said in June remarks. “On the other hand, when I look at their intellectual behavior, what they publish, and, much more important, what they tell their students, Darwinism has indeed passed beyond a scientific argument.” . . .
“[I haven’t seen anything] approaching free speech on this topic,” Gelernter admitted. “It’s a bitter rejection, not just — a sort of bitter, fundamental, angry, outraged, violent rejection, which comes nowhere near scientific of intellectual discussion. I’ve seen that happen again and again. ‘I’m a Darwinist, don’t you say a word against it, or, I don’t wanna hear it, period.'”
