I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve been saying something of this type for years, and I am honored to know that CS Lewis was the one who said it first.
Atheistic Evolution, and not Christianized creationism, is the true comforting lie of this, and all other subsequent, generations. Through evolution, we have done away with our need for divine salvation, and replaced it with a self-made rescue from the much more easily forgivable sin of stupidity. We have seen the fallen Angel transform into the rising Ape, and have celebrated his elevation to the heights of intellectual glorification, rather than mourn his dissent from a spiritual enlightenment and personal relationship with God. We did not lose our souls, they were never in any place to be found to begin with. We're not sinful. Sin is a Lie. Thus spoke Zarathustra. God is dead. Long live the new Gods.

Ever heard of the fallacy of "arguing from authority"? Evolution is a fact.
"For example, both humans and chimps have a broken copy of a gene that in other mammals helps make vitamin C. . . . It’s hard to imagine how there could be stronger evidence for common ancestry of chimps and humans. . . . Despite some remaining puzzles, there’s no reason to doubt that Darwin had this point right, that all creatures on earth are biological relatives". "Behe, The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism" Quoted in.

This is one of my more recent discoveries of Lewis' (I hadn't read Christian Reflections until just recently), but I quite love it. It is so wonderfully insightful on how infectious the mindset of evolution is, and how it influences the psychology of everything from consumerism to human destiny, and furthermore, WHY it is so.
@mrace2900 Says:
This is wonderful work you are doing! Please continue with the wonderful research and presentation. I especially enjoy getting to hear some of Lewis' more obscure works. Please keep it up! God bless.

Repost: "Voici un truc assez inusité et TRÈS original, soit l'utilisation d'un dessin animé sur le thème d'un essai génial, mais peu connu de CS Lewis, soit The Funeral of a Great Myth.
The Funeral of a Great Myth (of Popular Evolution) by C.S. Lewis Doodle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgoEKnuCuJE
Et ce dessin animé (vidéo 36min) est accompagné de la voix d'un narrateur qui lit l'essai de Lewis dans un anglais... Il faut noter que c’est aussi stimulant sur le plan visuel que sur le plan intellectuel... Et dans l’espace visuel dans lequel l’artiste travail il fait de VRAI prouesses pour ne pas se retrouver dans un cul-de-sac sur le plan graphique et ne pas pouvoir développer/terminer une idée... Tout ça ne s’improvise PAS...
Et non, Lewis ne discute pas des preuves de l'évolution, mais examine ce qu'on appel la théorie de l'évolution, mais d'un point de vue particulier de la littérature mythologique. Si c'est très instructif (et c'est un précurseur à mon propre étude dans Fuite de l'Absolu, volume 2) Lewis reste assez terre à terre et discute de Walt Disney ainsi que du romancier de science fiction HG Wells. Lewis expose certains fait historiques fort utiles au sujet de la pensée évolutionniste, c'est-à-dire que l’idéologie évolutionniste était bien en place (et issue du Siècle des Lumières) AVANT que Darwin accouche de cette théorie. De l’avis de Lewis c’est donc la mythologie évolutionniste qui a suscité la théorie... C’est donc un besoin idéologique qui a suscité ce mythe*. Évidemment je devine que ce n’est PAS ce qu’on vous a enseigné à l’université? Hein? Avec son esprit analytique superbe, Lewis dissèque bien les grand thèmes de l’évolution, bien qu’à mon avis Lewis concède un peu trop vite le caractère scientifique de l’évolution en biologie. Mais le débat sur les origines était à un stade embryonnaire à son époque, c’est donc tout à faire pardonnable...
Bonne Année!

Reposted comment: @JoshSJoshingWithYa I personally struggle with respecting the myth with all of the social degradation that has occurred as a result of it, but he's right that we must see it as something that deeply resonates with us who hear it. Very interesting video.

Incredible work! Lewis' arguments are enriched by your imagery. You've tracked down some obscure references in your research.
