Evolution

There is no question but that the theory of organic evolution has flooded the world through books, movies, magazines, radio, television and the internet. Proponents leave the strong impression that evolution is a long ago settled fact without any successful disclaimers to the contrary. They also try to make anyone who dares question this theory a laughing stock. Well despite what they would have the public to believe there are millions (young and old alike) who do not accept evolution!

In November of 1999 the National Geographic Society which is known as one of the strongest promoters of evolution, featured an article entitled, "Feathers For T. Rex?" Which stated they had discovered a bird-like fossil being the missing link in dinosaur evolution. However, not everyone in the scientific community accepted this so-called "proof." Numerous scientists doubted the claims and even the fossil itself. Well after much investigation the truth came to light that the bird-like fossil was a lie. Imagine that! In the January 15, 2000 issue of Science News, R. Monastersky wrote an article entitled, "All mixed up over birds and dinosaurs" in which he stated: "Red-faced and downhearted, paleontologists are growing convinced that they have been snookered by a bit of fossil fakery from China. The ‘feathered dinosaur’ specimen that they recently unveiled to much fanfare apparently combines the tail of a dinosaur with the body of a bird, they say."

The dishonesty of the evolutionist is very evident. Every time they come up with some fanciful view they plaster it on the front page of newspapers, magazines and herald it on such programs as National Geographic. But when they are exposed they reluctantly have a disclaimer on the back page in microscopic print!

So what shall we teach our children about evolution? That it is a BIG LIE! That God created all things, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen. 1:1). Luke informs us , "Forasmuch then, as we are the offspring of God..." (Acts 17:29). Evolution is an unproven theory, and a very poor theory at that!

Brother Dub McClish in an article entitled, "Objections To Evolution" states four objectives to evolution:

1. It denies spiritual realities. The true evolutionist accepts only the material world. To him, God is an invention of men, the Bible is only a human product, man is not a soul, only a body, therefore, denying the judgment, heaven, and hell. These deny the plainest teachings of the scripture.

2. It cuts men loose from God. To the evolutionist, man is the result of a natural accident. In his view, a living one-celled animal spontaneously developed from non-living matter and gradually evolved over billions of years till it was able to crawl out of the sea and finally change into man, all by accident! This philosophy cuts man loose from God and any accountability to His laws. It is no coincidence that the increased popularity of evolution and the ever spiraling crime rate have happened together. It should be expected.

3. It is an unproved and improvable theory, not scientific truth or fact. It contradicts spiritual and religious truth in many points. It contradicts much of the historical truth of the Bible. It also denies many scientific facts, e.g. complex forms. The fossil records refute rather than support evolution. It is not only a theory, it is an erroneous theory!

4. It is a philosophy, a faith, a religion itself. While the true evolutionist ridicules faith in God, he practices his own faith. He is utterly prejudiced for his cause and will rarely consider evidence against it. He bows at the alter of pseudo-science blindly believing his incredible theories."

Brother Wayne Jackson wrote an article entitled, "Reaping The Fruits of Darwinism," and gave four fruits of this ungodly theory: 1. It Dehumanizes Man. 2. Makes Man Morally Irresponsible. 3. Produces Totalitarianism. 4. Produces Modernism.

Also have your children read Romans 1:18-25 and they will quickly see that Darwin and all his followers have rejected God! Remember, truth is truth whether believed or not! Yes, as Paul said, "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar..." (Romans 3:4). The Bible still reads, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)!
