By the year 2040, Darwin’s theory will be fully replaced. It will not vanish overnight, because theories this entrenched never do. Too many careers, institutions, funding streams, and reputations are tied to it. But by then, it will be undeniable that the theory of speciation by natural selection is obsolete. In fact, Materialism as we know it will vanish.

I explain how terms like inflationary theory, brief time, epoch, and dark matter (which already assumes matter) are not genuine scientific descriptors. They are part of a semantic game. They sound authoritative, but to anyone who understands what they are supposed to describe (and more importantly, what they don’t describe or lack evidence for) they are deeply misleading. If you know what to look for, you’ll begin to see semantic games everywhere, especially whenever the standard narrative of evolution, deep time, and materialism is presented.
