esty should be overlooked in the cause of advancing such a "sublime"
goal.
These books are written very cleverly, in that they contain some
accurate technical details which have been discovered about the car.
With a little imagery and a few plays on words, one gets the impres-
sion that it does, in fact, answer the question of how the car came into
existence and how it came about to possess its apparent intelligence.
And here is the important point: By interspersing all this nonsense
about "chance" and "coincidence" with these complicated formulas
and calculations about how the car came about, one is left with the
impression that the nonsense too is scientific fact. In this way, a false
and decaying theory, which has now become an ideology, is estab-
lished with skilful and artful deceit, and interspersed with some facts
that are wholly correct, yet do not bring one any closer to the truth.
Moreover, care is taken to choose a tone of the utmost self-confidence
and superiority, and which instills trust. In this way, various false-
hoods proposed by this theory are taken to have been scientifically
proven. Now that the lie has a so-called foundation, it takes only a
strong imagination to create unlimited but fantastic scenarios based
on it. Meanwhile, the car has already taken its place in the "evolution-
ary tree," and this amazing object-actually created by a superior engi-
neer-is proclaimed to be the result of a chain of miraculous
"coincidences." Of course the car is given a Latinized name, just to fur-
ther enhance the "scientific" flavor.
We should admit that all the calculations made about the car's
movements may in fact be true. However, the logical basis and foun-
dation on which these measurements rest-that is, that the car came
into being by itself and that it moves by making intelligent decisions-
is faulty from the start. But a large segment of the population is
unaware of the fine processes involved. Even the briefest explanations
are enough to make believe illogical claims, because they are told by
"an esteemed scientist." Of course, this scientist is going to be
