I was just thinking about this today.

The old (bad willed) objection: "If God exists, why does He go out of His way to conceal His existence?"

Um... how about the intricate, genius, brilliant designs obvious to any IMPARTIAL observer? And when you get into the high-tech modern age, it should be even MORE obvious, with the "mini universe" that is the inside of a cell, DNA, etc.

It's almost like stupidity like "molecules to man" evolution could *only* happen at the MID BRAIN point. Less advanced peoples are impressed by every force of nature and conclude there is a God (or gods). Highly advanced science concludes that DNA is information and language, no new language/information can be randomly created, the cell is too complex, random chance evolution is mathematically impossible, etc.

But in Darwin's era -- we were just "smart" enough to be dangerous. Just smart enough to be deceived by foolish errors of the enemy.

Like the 3 year old who is too old to be "blissfully in her own world" like a baby and go along with whatever -- but not developed enough like a 5 year old to enjoy something like, say, being ankle-deep in the shallow water on the beach. We just experienced this a few days ago. Our 3 year old wanted no part of it, even seeing her "twin" (she considers herself absolutely equal to him all the rest of the time) 5 year old brother having the time of his life.


Here are examples of the meme. Some are better than others, but together they should give you an idea of the meme and how it works. There's definitely a pattern there where this is often true.
