Back to the Tower of Babel

As I attempt to reason with evolutionists, I'm struck by how seldom they listen to what I have to say and how little they understand even when they ARE paying attention. I'm also struck by the totally ridiculous things they say to me. I feel as if we're back in the days of the Tower of Babel when God confused the languages. We may be using the English language, but neither side is capable of understanding the other.

In all honesty, I've never seen even one dedicated evolutionist be swayed by anything I had to say. Perhaps I'm planting seeds that will germinate someday and bear fruit. I hope so. But when "conversing" with an evolutionist online, it's as if we're both aware that our conversation is being viewed by others. And when there's an audience looking on, neither side is willing to budge an inch. (I tried budging an inch once just to see what they would do, but they still didn't budge!)

Oh, I'm not saying I'm giving up. Far from it. It's just that I'm not expecting to see any breakthroughs. It's a lot like sharing one's faith. You do it because it's an act of obedience to God. But just as only God can open hearts to the gospel, it's also true that only God can open an evolutionist's mind to the many weaknesses of Darwinism. Only God can reveal that He alone - and not natural selection - is responsible for all life on earth.

Evolution – Bad for Education

During the third presidential debate on Wednesday night, moderator Bob Schiefer made this very significant statement as he introduced the topic of education:

"The U.S. spends more per capita than any other country on education, yet by every international measurement in math and science competence from kindergarten through the twelfth grade, we trail most of the countries of the world."

The solution to this dilemma does not lie in spending even more money or firing bad teachers. We need to "fire" what has been called the greatest scientific hoax of all time – Darwinian evolution.

I believe that the National Science Foundation – with its rabid allegiance to evolution – has a lot of explaining to do. Since evolution is the only game in town when it comes to science education in our nation's schools, evolution plays a significant part in the sorry state of American education.

Not only is evolution unscientific, it is anti-science. I know this sounds like a rash and emotionally charged statement. No, it's simply an accurate statement because evolution is not supported by scientific evidence and denies the established laws of science. Furthermore, the history of evolution is fraught with fabulous fakes, monumental mistakes and downright hoaxes. Besides, teachers are afraid of losing their jobs if they point out the weaknesses of evolution. Instead of teaching students to THINK, students are required to accept evolution with an uncritical mind.

Evolution may be the only game in town, but its days are numbered. Thousands of scientists with advanced degrees are repudiating it. Evolution's only hope of survival is to continue silencing anyone who dares to question it. But I feel that Americans will someday wake up and resolve to silence the false science that's held us captive for so many years.

And when that happens, America will no longer trail the rest of the world in science competence.

Expelled: The Movie Review

This is an important film – a very important film – because it exposes the weaknesses of evolution and the lengths to which evolutionists will go to shut up anyone who dares question their cherished beliefs. Though I appreciate what the producers were trying to accomplish, I thought that Expelled could have been even better, because I know there is a great deal of compelling evidence that Ben Stein didn't even mention. I feel that Expelled could have made an even stronger case about the lack of academic freedom in our nation's universities. But then again, would anyone sit through a 10-hour movie? Still, the film is well done, thought provoking and humorous, and it should be seen by everyone who cares about the battle between worldviews as well as everyone who values academic freedom and freedom of speech. And for anyone wishing to check out the compelling evidence I mentioned above, go to the Creation Moments website and check out the hundreds of resources in their Articles Library.

Creation, Evolution and Sarah Palin

As you'll see, one of my favorite websites is Creation Moments. Why? Because I happen to agree with them that the Bible is correct when it describes how we got here. That's why I recommend that website and why I suggest you keep on reading if you care about free speech and academic freedom in America.

I don't know what the mainstream media and bloggers hate more – Sarah Palin's political views or her thoughts on academic freedom. Concerning creation and evolution, the governor of Alaska has said, "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class." The fact that she backs academic freedom has many in the media up at arms. Just try doing a search on the two words "evolution" and "Palin" and you will get an eye-full of sarcastic and insulting remarks. Not scientific statements, mind you, just ridicule and scorn.

With anti-creation sentiment coming to a fever pitch because of Sarah Palin, I rejoice that evolutionists are revealing their true colors for everyone to see. After all, if they are so confident that evolution is true, then why are they so infuriated when someone remarks that Darwinism isn't the only game in town? They must feel very threatened indeed.

So many people want to keep Darwinism as the only theory on the table. This is not what science is all about. Even Darwin said his theory should be open to review by those on both sides of the issue. But that's not what you find today – not by a long shot.

It's irrelevant if I'm a Republican, a Democrat or an Independent. All I'm saying is that I agree with Sarah Palin when she said there shouldn't be a prohibition against debating the issues. How sad that we've fallen to the point so well described by Chinese Paleontologist Dr. J.Y. Chen: "In China it's okay to criticize Darwin but not the government, while in the United States it's okay to criticize the government, but not Darwin."

Those are my views. What's yours?
