In the Preface to the Humanist Manifesto 2 (1973), Grinch Paul Kurtz religiously professes:
“As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to love and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith. Salvationism, based on mere affirmation, still appears as harmful, diverting people with false hopes of heaven hereafter. Reasonable minds look to other means for survival.”
Well, fudge. Please tell me if the above is, or is not, “The fudging of science with religiosity…” Who is assuming? According to Ebenezer Kurtz’s current defense article, he still religiously assumes that no God ever exists, in the name of, “defending the integrity of scientific inquiry” - while making asses of you and me! -As God-fearing taxpayers blindly pay the tithe for a humanistic-tainted education.
(Those who do not consider their atheism to be “religious” will still have a similar philosophical outlook.)
Some recognize these narrow religious humanistic tenets (beliefs) to a certain notable degree, as they have found ways into our educational institutions, in the name of Science, and other causes. Since Humanism’s cloaking-devices became operational, they have so influenced the Press, Hollywood and public television (undetected), that their contrived ploy has become more and more of an accepted mindset for many now-assuming viewers and readers.
(The Assumption: “Life originated by natural causes - without a God.”)
At the tip of the iceberg, some teachers and narrators unknowingly promote religious Secular Humanism. With others, what was once so subtle, is now blatantly pushed, and adamantly taught. Humanists do not want an intelligent design argument, nor any creation science “propaganda” considered. Not necessarily because of, “a wall of separation between church and state,” but, simply, because it is not in the spirit and interests of religious Secular Humanism. According to the Humanist Manifestos, Paul Kurtz and the current movement: creation thinking would be a regretful sacrilege to them! Their no-God “religiosity” is nothing short of the fanatical in establishing an invisible pulpit in our presumed neutral school classrooms. -Humanists (and other “unbelievers”) oppose anyone hindering their anti-God, pro-humanist agenda.
Many renowned scientists and teachers in history have humbly acknowledged God as their Creator. Secular Humanism undermines and tries to exclude the fact from the creation scientists’ testimonies and biographies, as if we owe it all to religious Humanism and Naturalism for Science itself. The so-called purely scientific religious secular humanists think they can wrest their flawed case, while having their cake, and eating it too. -Knowing humanist nature: Who is imposing, “an unwarranted religious doctrine in science?” With their cloaking-devices temporarily damaged, one can’t help but see their untrue colors.
In fieldwork studies, publications, and debates with non-creationists, scientific creationists can, and have for long applied their scientific methods rather successfully. –And, in needed historical retrospect, it should be noted that:
“Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626),Lord Chancellor of England, is considered primarily responsible for the formulation and establishment of the scientific method. Sir Francis was a devout believer in the Bible.”
And, “Even though Galileo (1564-1642) was officially censured for his *heliocentric teachings by the Church, he himself believed the Bible and that it supported his views (of God’s special creation.”) -Henry M. Morris, Ph.D., Men of Science, Men of God (1988), Master Books, pp. 12, 13, 22.

“Creationists Who Founded Modern Science: Kepler-Astronomy; Pascal-Hydrostatics; Boyle-Chemistry; Newton-Physics; Steno-Stratigraphy; Faraday-Magnetic theory; Babbage-Computers; Agassiz-Ichthyology; Simpson-Gynecology; Mendel-Genetics; Pasteur-Bacteriology; Kelvin-Thermodynamics; Lister-Antiseptic surgery; Maxwell-Electrodynamics; and Ramsay-Isotopic chemistry.” –When Skeptics Ask (1990), Victor Books, pg. 214.
