A dear reader just submitted a suggestion for an article. I'll first give a portion of our e-mails and then I'll address the book segment that he sent... **********OUR READER WROTE********** A friend of mine (an atheist) recently lent me a book about evolution entitled "The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins. He was hoping to convince me that evolution actually happened. The book is supposed to defend evolution and natural selection. Instead, I found it totally unconvincing mainly because the author does not present any evidence in support of evolution. He just assumes that evolution is true and writes around all the problems with clever reasoning and philosophy. Furthermore, he ridicules any belief in God. I came across one part of the book which was particularly bad. I have decided to share it with you because it is truly astonishing. Your web site already has many articles to do with evolution. If you have any spare time, an article on the extract below should be a welcome addition to your rather controversial web site. The folly of the text should be apparent to anyone with common sense or a conscience... **********MY RESPONSE********** Greetings, friend and thanks for your suggestion and submission. The more evolutionists try to "prove" evolution, the more one can see that there is no proof. Any thinking person can see this. When evolutionists are confronted by people who aren't intimated by their backing from education, science (falsely so called), and the media, they get caught up on the ropes and get to fantasizing and name calling in order to intimidate the God-fearing Christian into silence. But any thinking person can see through these vain tactics. What kills me is that evolutionists call "unbelievers" like me and you "unscientific" when they have NO scientific fact to back up their assertion that EVERY single life form that we have today came from ONE source which consisted of some UNKNOWN combination of non-living objects. If it was KNOWN, they could repeat evolution--but they don't know so they can't repeat it. It didn't happen. Another ludicrous thing that evolutionists do is make associations where there are none. This tactic is very effective. If you teach a known scientific fact along side an unknown scientific fact, people are apt to believe that both are true. One such association created in the minds of people is DINOSAURS = EVOLUTION. That is one of the stupidest associations you can think of, but it works. The existence of dinosaurs in no way proves evolution. It just proves there was some big animals runnin' around. Do not the scriptures say there were giants in the earth in those days? Big bones mean a big animal, they don't mean evolution--now WHO is unscientific? You said, "He just assumes that evolution is true and writes around all the problems with clever reasoning and philosophy." This is what every evolutionist does. "Philosophy" is a good word for what that man is putting forth in his book--evolution simply provides the infrastructure for the philosophy of atheism. Evolutionists say, "We don't know how this whole world got started, but WE SURE DO KNOW THAT GOD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!! WE CONTROL OURSELVES! THE HOUSEFLY IS MY BROTHER! THERE IS NO MORAL CODE--I CAN DO WHAT I WANT! I CAN, I CAN, I CAN! THERE IS NO COMING JUDGEMENT! I DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG! THERE IS NO GOD!" As they chant, they shake a small, inconsequential, angry fist at the God of the universe. All this comes down to is who the ultimate authority--is it man or is it God? Of course, we know it's God, but the evolutionist wants it to be man so bad, that he'll con himself into believing a fairy tale rather than accept that God sets the standards by which he'll be judged. "Furthermore, he ridicules any belief in God." Evolution is nothing more than atheism anyway. Period. This fool (as saith the Psalmist) is trying to convince himself, and others, of the lie of evolution which is a front for atheism. His treatise MUST include a denial of God. Many professing Christians are confused about evolution. Hey, we've been taught it since we were little kids--we think it is actually science, until we wake up to the facts. But the hard core evolutionist KNOWS that evolution ain't science. It's roots are metaphysical, religious in nature. Evolution is nothing but a religion called atheism. It is a belief system. There is no room for God in evolution and there is no room for evolution in the scriptures. "I came across one part of the book which was particularly bad." Yes, it is really bad and quite ludicrous. "I have decided to share it with you because it is truly astonishing." Thank you for sharing. It truly confirmed my surmisings on this cult. This is the first time I've called evolution a cult, but I suppose it is. (1) It's leader is False Science, (2) it has a wrong idea about Jesus Christ, and (3) it says salvation is "do what you wanna do". Evolution is a faith, a religion, a philosophy, a cult of people who BLINDLY follow what its leaders say in the absence of any proof whatsoever--and it takes its serious adherents straight to hell. "If you have any spare time, an article on the extract below should be a welcome addition to your rather controversial web site." I appreciate your leading in this direction. As I read the article, I found a few amusing items that I indeed would like to comment on. I love the Bible because it just illuminates every situation like the noonday sun. Perhaps the site is "controversial" because my world few is extremely narrow--it is based only upon what I read in my King James Bible. I do not take the word of man on anything, my friend. Man is a liar. If man says something or does something in conflict with the Good Book, I reject it with all sincerity and aggression. Many folks don't like to hear that their belief is a lie. "The folly of the text should be apparent to anyone with common sense or a conscience..." Most certainly. Only fellow evolution cultists will be shouting "Amen!" The rest of us will be stupified at this man's ignorance and hatred of anything Christian. Interesting how folks like him never say things against the Buddha or Muhammad, etc. Only Jesus. That's because their master Satan knows that Jesus is the RIGHT ONE! He is the only One who can save the soul! Yes, sir. > Please note that the words in block capitals were originally written > in italics. Okie dokie. Part 2 will include the book extract and my comments. Stay tuned, we'll be right back!
