I think there is a link between “conspiracy theory” and evolution. Has anyone ever spoken to a 9/11 Truther? They will argue with you till they are blue in the face of all the science supporting the conspiracy theory. But there is one scientific principle absent from their theory… observation. Everyone saw the planes crash into the Trade Centers. In order to draw the parallel, The Flood was “a fact” established by every available source in history starting with “Gilgamesh” the first known book which begins with the words … “After the time of the flood” in the preface. Now, what happens when an airplane crashes into a 120 story building made to withstand the impact of a 747? Well, I would propose that the science begin with observation of a universally acknowledged fact … a plane crashed into the Trade Center and build the science upon this fact. In parallel, what happens when the world is flooded with water up to the mountain tops? Well, I would suggest that we begin building our science upon this universally established fact when interpreting the evidence. But they don’t. They throw out the flood and begin constructing an evolutionary theory out of all they find … because, instead of building their science on a universally observed historical fact, they dismiss it and replace it with a false fact, namely, that there was no flood. They construct their narrative accordingly, just like a conspiracy theory, which assumes a fact contrary to universal observation. In speaking to a conspiracy theorist, they will dismiss the obvious, and construe the evidence that fits their narrative of conspiracy, throw out anything that indicates otherwise, and construct a false narrative as a result. Convincing as the argument can be, it is flawed because it deny’s the universally witnessed fact of planes flying into the Trade Centers, and assumption that should begin the scientific inquiry as to what exactly happens when this unprecedented event transpires. Now, history is quite clear that there was a universal flood. If Evolutionists would acknowledge such universally acclaimed historical facts, they could better interpret the fossil record according to observed history … but they don’t. They throw out this historical fact, and replace it with a Universal Theory of history that no such catastrophic event transpired and interprets the evidence accordingly. When glaring contradictions to their narratives are shown, such as the fossil graveyards, they are dismissed as anomalies yet to be interpreted properly according to their preconceived evolutionary theory. This strikes me very much as the rational for Conspiracy Theory.
