The Funeral of a Great Myth (of Universal or Popular Evolution) by C.S. Lewis Doodle
In this doodle, C.S. Lewis gives us his eulogy of a great origin myth or the fairy tale of cosmic evolution (the rival to the Creation account in Genesis 1 where God, not time, is the most important factor), & then buries/damns evolution with high praise. Very academic, but very worth your while if you can persevere to the end! Notes:
(1:17) Lewis echoes a famous Shakespearean phrase “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” The speech curiously, brilliantly does the opposite and enrages the Roman crowd against Caesar's conspirators.
(3:48) There was a drought on one of the Galapagos Islands, it is thought that due to this event the average finch beak size became larger. However, this proved not to be the end of the story. When the drought stopped, average finch beak size became smaller again.
(5:55) Keats was very much attuned to the spirit & cause of the French Revolution. He thought that people were sacrificing their lives [& it turns out murdering] for the cause of equality and liberty. His sympathies were with those whom he thought were making an untiring struggle for the replacement of the tyrannical old order by a new one based on 'brotherhood, liberty & equality'. Keats wanted to bring home the message that the old order must yield place to the new, & it is this struggle between two systems that Keats represents through the struggle between Titans and Olympians, whereby the poem assumes an allegorical significance. Keats makes use of the Titan, Oceanus, to give expression to the philosophy of old order versus new. Oceanus puts it in very unambiguous terms before the fallen Titans that they must accept the supremacy of the new order that has established its superiority over the old. (J. Ash).
(12:32) The actual theorem of biological evolution makes no metaphysical statements, i.e. statements about whether there is a God beyond Nature.
(14:19) “Sidereal” (Sidereal from Latin: ‘stars’) i.e. the distant stars (the constellations or fixed stars, not the sun or planets). S/b pronounced, "Sye-DEER-ee-ul".
(15:30) Molecular Biology has progressed since 1944, they show the evolution of even one useful individual DNA protein is so unlikely as to be impossible: “It’s easy to see that the total number of possible sequences is immense. It’s easy to believe (although non-chemists must take their colleagues’ word for it) that the subset of USEFUL sequences-sequences that create real, usable proteins-is, in comparison, tiny. But we must know how immense and how tiny. The total count of possible 150-link chains, where each link is chosen separately from 20 amino acids, is 20 to the power of 150. In other words, many. 20 to the power of 150 roughly equals to 10 to the power of 195, & there are only 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the universe” (Giving up Darwin, David Gelernter). Practically macroevolution is impossible.
(24:04) New Humanist Paul More’s insight into the "enormous error" of secular humanists was that when the religious impulse is replaced by the "mere 'brotherhood of man,' fratricide is not far distant."
(24:35) "How has it come about that we use the highly emotive word 'stagnation', with all its malodorous & malarial overtones, for what other ages would have called 'permanence'? Why does the word 'primitive' at once suggest to us clumsiness, inefficiency, barbarity?" ('De Descriptione Temporum'). See also the 'Poison of Subjectivism' on the use of the word "stagnation".
(30:10) For "the nation", I’ve shown a Communist board, which is essentially a violent mob which took undemocratic control of the whole Russian nation, but I could have shown a violent mob of any sort. The contrast in the doodle is between a lawless ‘Minority Violent Mob’ & a 'Majority Rule Democracy’ & Rule of Law.

    I am enjoying this series but I must say it is having the opposite effect of what I feel its intention is... I feel like it is impossible for man to be the person God wants us to be, and that seems incredibly unfair. Like man has been set an unpassable exam. It makes life seem almost pointless. Try and fail, try and fail.. its very sad. I had hoped Christianity was more than that. This set of works makes Christianity (and this life) look like a chore, a series of unending failures and disappointments to God. I want to be a Christian, but beyond that knowledge, I am completely lost.

    This is one of my more recent discoveries of Lewis' (I hadn't read Christian Reflections until just recently), but I quite love it. It is so wonderfully insightful on how infectious the mindset of evolution is, and how it influences the psychology of everything from consumerism to human destiny, and furthermore, WHY it is so.

    Repost: "Voici un truc assez inusité et TRÈS original, soit l'utilisation d'un dessin animé sur le thème d'un essai génial, mais peu connu de CS Lewis, soit The Funeral of a Great Myth. The Funeral of a Great Myth (of Popular Evolution) by C.S. Lewis Doodle ua-cam.com/video/NgoEKnuCuJE/v-deo.html Et ce dessin animé (vidéo 36min) est accompagné de la voix d'un narrateur qui lit l'essai de Lewis dans un anglais... Il faut noter que c’est aussi stimulant sur le plan visuel que sur le plan intellectuel... Et dans l’espace visuel dans lequel l’artiste travail il fait de VRAI prouesses pour ne pas se retrouver dans un cul-de-sac sur le plan graphique et ne pas pouvoir développer/terminer une idée... Tout ça ne s’improvise PAS... Et non, Lewis ne discute pas des preuves de l'évolution, mais examine ce qu'on appel la théorie de l'évolution, mais d'un point de vue particulier de la littérature mythologique. Si c'est très instructif (et c'est un précurseur à mon propre étude dans Fuite de l'Absolu, volume 2) Lewis reste assez terre à terre et discute de Walt Disney ainsi que du romancier de science fiction HG Wells. Lewis expose certains fait historiques fort utiles au sujet de la pensée évolutionniste, c'est-à-dire que l’idéologie évolutionniste était bien en place (et issue du Siècle des Lumières) AVANT que Darwin accouche de cette théorie. De l’avis de Lewis c’est donc la mythologie évolutionniste qui a suscité la théorie... C’est donc un besoin idéologique qui a suscité ce mythe*. Évidemment je devine que ce n’est PAS ce qu’on vous a enseigné à l’université? Hein? Avec son esprit analytique superbe, Lewis dissèque bien les grand thèmes de l’évolution, bien qu’à mon avis Lewis concède un peu trop vite le caractère scientifique de l’évolution en biologie. Mais le débat sur les origines était à un stade embryonnaire à son époque, c’est donc tout à faire pardonnable... Bonne Année!

    12:45 hearing this just gave me clarity on the Lord's prayer, ".. Give us our daily bread as we forgive those who sins against us.." I always wonder what our daily bread meant, probably Jesus's body, for Jesus said He is the bread of life and I didn't think too much of it, I just look at it as God giving us daily spiritual food in us to sustain our spiritual needs. I never connected the dots on the hunger for love, or at least now I realize worldly things do not give me pleasure or satisfaction or fulfillment, now I have a new clarity that when I am hungry for love in life or attention as C.S. Lewis had mentioned the types of love we crave as humans, and I search it in the wrong places in this world is because the love I am looking for is not from this world but from God, how amazing our creator is, that He gives His love so freely to us as a gift and mercy. Now, whenever I am feeling down or have this hunger rush, may I find it in God which makes me full and whole like bread. Worldly love cannot sustain me for long and I go hungry again. Wow. Thank you for this doodle, I really appreciate C.S. Lewis intellect on God's words, it has helped me to see things even clearer, God has blessed him with this gift indeed.

    The most striking part to me was "You are no longer faced with an argument which demands your assent, but with a person who demands your confidence." - I find no interest in apologetics or arguing for the existence of God because I already experience and interact with Him as a *Person*. What use is it to debate whether He exists when I know He does, based on internal and external evidence, just as much as I know my friends and family exist?

    • @CSLewisDoodle

      Lewis talked about apologetics in this essay (of course the arguments are not for his own benefit, but for others): "In the first place, it must be admitted by anyone who accepts Christianity, that an increased interest in it, or even a growing measure of intellectual assent to it, is a very different thing from the conversion of England or even of a single soul. Conversion requires an alteration of the will, and an alteration which, in the last resort, does not occur without the intervention of the supernatural. I do not in the least agree with those who therefore conclude that the spread of an intellectual (and imaginative) climate favourable to Christianity is useless. You do not prove munition workers useless by showing that they cannot themselves win battles, however proper this reminder would be if they attempted to claim the honour due to fighting men. If the intellectual climate is such that, when a man comes to the crisis at which he must either accept or reject Christ, his reason and imagination are not on the wrong side, then his conflict will be fought out under favourable conditions. Those who help to produce and spread such a climate are therefore doing useful work: and yet no such great matter after all. Their share is a modest one; and it is always possible that nothing - nothing whatever - may come of it. Far higher than they stands that character whom, to the best of my knowledge, the present Christian movement has not yet produced - the *Preacher* in the full sense, the Evangelist, the man on fire, the man who infects. The propagandist, the apologist, only represents John Baptist: the Preacher represents the Lord Himself. He will be sent - or else he will not. But unless he comes we mere Christian intellectuals will not effect very much. That does not mean we should down tools ('The Decline of Religion’).
