Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...

"‘An up-tempo version of Darwinian evolution‘: How a mega freeze in Florida may have caused Burmese pythons to evolve at a blindingly fast speed (Live Science, 21 April 2025). Science writer Stephen S. Hall claims that a cold snap in the Florida Everglades in 2010 caused non-native Burmese pythons to evolve “blindingly fast” to handle cold weather. He says, on the other hand, that they were “genetically predisposed” for this evolutionary change.
Paganism is alive and well in the scientific community!
Our evolutionary ‘first parents’ – Mother Nature (Gk. Gaia) and Father Time (Gk. Chronos) – are at it again, creating new and improved images of themselves before our very eyes!
For what we are told is a mindless and purposeless process of accumulated random mistakes, it never ceases to amaze how ubiquitous the verb to create seems to be in the writings of evolutionary thinkers. Wasn’t the purpose of evolutionary thinking to free us from silly personifications of transcendent beings?
In stunning confirmation of the central dogma of evolutionary theory, Stuff Happened in Florida and, as a result, Stuff Happened to Burmese pythons in Florida. Whaddya know? Evolutionary explanation carries the day again! An undeniable confirmation of the Stuff Happens law! It got cold in Florida; many Burmese pythons died, BUT some Burmese pythons lived!
Stuff happened, therefore, evolution is true!
And don’t bother us with words like “contradiction” – we’re used to having our cake and eating it, too! Like any good Hegelian logician, when the evidence contradicts your position, ignore the contradiction and embrace the evidence as if it’s what you’ve been saying all along!" CEH

"The 2010 cold snap may have created a subset of pythons better able to survive cold temperatures — and thus better adapted to spread beyond the northern boundaries of its current range."

"Fifteen years ago, a cold snap froze much of Florida’s wildlife to death — including many of the state’s invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus). But in this excerpt from “Slither: How Nature’s Most Maligned Creatures Illuminate Our World” (Gand Central Publishing, 2025), science writer Stephen Hall reveals that a subset of these pythons were genetically predisposed to survive the cold, setting the stage for rapid evolution that could help the invasive snakes spread further into North America."
