Flat land
"Serendipities - Language and Lunacy" (from
Italian by William Weaver), the opening chapter
"THE FORCE OF FALSITY" yielded the following
paragraph:
"The Darwinians exploited the fact that a Christian author of the fourth century, such as Lactantius in his 'Institutiones divinae', having to accept many biblical passages in which the universe is described as modeled on the tabernacle, hence quadrangular
in form, opposed theories of the earth's roundness because he could not accept the idea there existed antipodes where men would have to walk
with their heads down and their feet in the air."
From a perspective of cultural linguistics this is a somewhat interesting observation as not only do the still fetished colleges of Cambridge and Oxford tend have quadrangular elements, if not all exclusively boast them, and it is certainly a linguistic marker of Boys' Grammar School-set stories (an inference
being that state schools also tend to have them but the kids don't all know the Latin) to have people
pelting across the quad, but the rough order of the evolution of the species outlined by Darwinists is not inconsistent with the order of the creation of life on the planet if one allows for a symbolic folk- tale reading of Genesis rather than six literal days (which also leaves Stonehenge as actually predating the creation of the planet).
And there is the question of how a species, humans, charged prior, to the autumn of the withering winter of its presumed innocence, to name all species, could have failed to notice that bugs on leaves and branches follow the surfaces round.
On the other hand, The Darwinians seem posessed
of an arrogance echoing in The Hard Sciences today down the corridors of time, like the exhortation in the passing into manhood not to mess about trying to
talk to tarts as they don't respect it or you, just tell them what to do, in an unbroken oral chain of uncritical repetition, unbefitting of science, by harking back 1300 years to mock the written word of a then-new religion whilst overlooking methods in their own back catalogues presented in all seriousness concerning How To Make Flies From Cheese...presumably because, as later
pointed out by HG Wells, they make excellent bearers of communicable pathogens that not to have a stock pile ready to unleash upon the bloodthirst invaders from the Warplanet Mars, whose canals were to become so clearly visible, would be madness, folly, threatening the human species' very fitness to sit at the pinnacle of the evolutionary pyramid.
As pyramids tend to be build upon regular quadrangles, (the punter, the rep, their boss and the lawyers) I shall wish you all una dolce vita.
