"I MYSELF AM CONVINCED THAT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION, ESPECIALLY THE EXTENT TO WHICH IT'S BEEN APPLIED, WILL BE ONE OF THE GREAT JOKES IN THE HISTORY BOOKS OF THE FUTURE. POSTERITY WILL MARVEL THAT SO FLIMSY AND DUBIOUS AN HYPOTHESIS COULD BE ACCEPTED WITH THE INCREDIBLE CRUELTY THAT IT HAS"

"LUCY"
WAS FOUND IN 1974 BY DONALD JOHANSON. LUCY KNOWN AS "AUSTRALOPITHACUS", HAS BEEN CALLED MAN'S MISSING LINK. THIS IS A LIE!
THE HIP BONE FROM A YOUNG AFRICAN GIRL WAS ADDED TO THE SKELETON. NONE OF THE HANDS OR FEET WERE FOUND. JOHANSON RECEIVED $47,000 TO GO LOOKING FOR HIS "MISSING LINK". WHAT WAS SAID TO BE LUCY'S KNEE, WAS FOUND ONE YEAR EARLIER AND IN A DIFFERENT LAYER OF STRATA. IT WAS ALSO FOUND 1 1/2 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE LUCY'S SKELETON WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND. IT HAS BEEN UNEQUIVOCALLY DETERMINED THAT "LUCY" IS AN EXTINCT TREE-DWELLING APE, YET THE SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS CONTINUE TO SAY LUCY IS MAN'S "MISSING LINK".

HUMANIST MANIFESTO-1933
JOHN DEWEY (ATHEIST, EVOLUTIONIST, SECULAR HUMANIST, BOARD MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN SECULAR HUMANIST ASSOCIATION. hE BROUGHT ON THE MINDSET OF MODERN DAY SECULAR PUBLIC SCHOOLING. HIS PHILOSOPHY WAS "PROGRESSIVE PHILOSOPHY CHILD CENTERED RATHER THAN GOD CENTERED. HERE IS THE MANIFESTO-SEE FOR YOURSELF....
HUMANIST MANIFESTO I First: Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created.
Second: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as the result of a continuous process.
Third: Holding an organic view of life, humanists find that the traditional dualism of mind and body must be rejected.
Fourth: Humanism recognizes that man's religious culture and civilization, as clearly depicted by anthropology and history, are the product of a gradual development due to his interaction with his natural environment and with his social heritage. The individual born into a particular culture is largely molded by that culture.
Fifth: Humanism asserts that the nature of the universe depicted by modern science makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values. Obviously humanism does not deny the possibility of realities as yet undiscovered, but it does insist that the way to determine the existence and value of any and all realities is by means of intelligent inquiry and by the assessment of their relations to human needs. Religion must formulate its hopes and plans in the light of the scientific spirit and method.
Sixth: We are convinced that the time has passed for theism, deism, modernism, and the several varieties of "new thought."
Seventh: Religion consists of those actions, purposes, and experiences which are humanly significant. Nothing human is alien to the religious. It includes labor, art, science, philosophy, love, friendship, recreation-all that is in its degree expressive of intelligently satisfying human living. The distinction between the sacred and the secular can no longer be maintained.
Eighth: Religious Humanism considers the complete realization of human personality to be the end of man's life and seeks its development and fulfillment in the here and now. This is the explanation of the humanist's social passion.
Ninth: In the place of the old attitudes involved in worship and prayer the humanist finds his religious emotions expressed in a heightened sense of personal life and in a co-operative effort to promote social well-being.
Tenth: It follows that there will be no uniquely religious emotions and attitudes of the kind hitherto associated with belief in the supernatural.
Eleventh: Man will learn to face the crises of life in terms of his knowledge of their naturalness and probability. Reasonable and manly attitudes will be fostered by education and supported by custom. We assume that humanism will take the path of social and mental hygiene and discourage sentimental and unreal hopes and wishful thinking.
Twelfth: Believing that religion must work increasingly for joy in living, religious humanists aim to foster the creative in man and to encourage achievements that add to the satisfactions of life.
Thirteenth: Religious humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the fulfillment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of human life is the purpose and program of humanism. Certainly religious institutions, their ritualistic forms ecclesiastical methods, and communal activities must be reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the modern world.
Fourteenth: The humanists are firmly convinced that existing acquisitive and profit-motivated society has shown itself to be inadequate and that a radical change in methods, controls, and motives must be established to the end that the equitable distribution of the means of life are possible. The goal of humanism is a free and universal society in which people voluntarily and intelligently co-operate for the common good. Humanists demand a shared life in a shared world.
Fifteenth: We assert that humanism will: (a) affirm life rather than deny it; (b)seek to elicit the possibilities of life not flee from it; and (c) endeavor to establish the conditions of a satisfactory life for all, not merely for a few. By this positive morale and intention humanism will be guided, and from this perspective and alignment the techniques and efforts of humanism will flow.
