Excerpt
In recent years dozens of new books, videos and DVD’s have become available on both creation and evolution. Also books, articles and movies that portray Christians as losers, dummies, or just plain ignorant, are in the hundreds. Christian morality is ridiculed while all sorts of immoral acts are glorified. This book presents no new scientific discoveries. It is different in that it attempts to clearly identify the underlying problems facing our society and to offer some practical suggestions in the final chapter.
There are two mutually exclusive world views of the origins of our universe and mankind, creation or evolution. One is a God centered creation as clearly described in Genesis while the other is an atheistic view point that believes everything originated by natural means. “Natural” means no miracles, no input by God and in fact, no God. The late Dr. D. James Kennedy, Pastor of Coral Ridge Ministries and founder of “Evangelism Explosion,” put it well when he stated, “We live in a time when there are only two religions competing for the minds, hearts, and loyalties of Western man. One of those religions is Christianity; the other religion is evolution.”
Many Americans have been totally convinced that Darwinian evolution has been proven and is, therefore, an accepted fact. Evolution is the politically accepted belief in all our public school biology books, and schools from kindergarten to college. But Darwinian evolution, the amoeba to man concept, is not a scientific fact. It is not even a scientific theory, it is merely an hypothesis. That is scientific talk for guess. Every scientific study and discovery by Darwin proved only microevolution. Everything written by Darwin and all other evolutionists that claim to prove evolution, really involve microevolution only. Darwin provided a great service in showing how a species contains many variations and how survival of the fittest resulted in minor changes within a species. His Galapagos finches are a typical example. But Darwin erred in assuming, with no scientific examples, or evidence, that these minor variations could lead to a new species. This is discussed in more detail in Chapter 4. Darwinian evolution will probably someday appear in the Guinness book of records as the biggest scientific error ever presented to mankind, even exceeding the original belief that the earth was flat.
There is no attempt to portray both sides of this issue as equally honorable, or in reality, just searching for the truth. On the contrary, hard core evolutionists that really dominate the so called politically correct evolution belief, reveal neither honor nor integrity.
This book is admittedly a hard core support for Christianity, the Bible as God’s written word and the clear foundation of America as a Christian nation. This book is a direct challenge to our increasingly anti-Christian government agencies, courts, schools and yes, even some of our churches. In Chapter 9, our judicial system is exposed as part of the atheistic, anti-Christian efforts.
Many controversial issues are discussed in considerable detail. A clear and convincing denial of Darwinian evolution is presented as well as a strong support for the creation belief. The impact of undermining the very foundations of this nation, being based on Christian principles, is also an important part of this book.
Evolutionists and anti-Christians intentionally use incomplete quotes, half truths, irrelevant logic, false science and misleading statements in attempting to prove their erroneous beliefs. The deceit, lies and misrepresentations are so persuasive, and have been accepted by our society for so long, it will be difficult for some to believe what is obvious. The fact is that our primary scientific agency in the nation, the National Academy of Sciences, has degenerated to become an atheist dominated agency that will accept no evidence if it supports a Christian belief in creation or a young earth, or if it even questions Darwinian evolution. The organization has even gone so far as to redefine science in order to eliminate any evidence that might support the creation views. No scientific papers can be published concerning creation or evolution without first being peer reviewed. Peer review means getting approval by dogmatic Darwinian evolutionists. More information on the National Academy of Sciences is covered in considerable detail in Chapter 6.
Footnotes are not used to present a more informal and direct presentation of the information. Any direct quotes are referenced in the text. Other reference material used, but not directly quoted, is listed in the bibliography. A very important part of the entire discussion is a clear definition of the words we use. Many previously published books and articles do not define or explain their terms, in some cases, intentionally, hoping to deceive or mislead the reader. At the very beginning, an entire chapter is devoted to definitions and explanations so there will be no doubt what is meant by the words evolution, microevolution, macroevolution and others
Before reading all the material and evidence in this book, one thing should be kept in mind. It is a fact that macroevolution, or a random change to a new and improved species, is impossible. The unbelievably microscopic complexity of living cells, that exist in their own little microscopic world, have no concept that they are part of an eye, or a foot, or whatever, and could not possibly have started by chance. It is a fact that matter cannot create intelligence. To think that these millions of microscopic living cells, all programmed to do what ever they do, can change from being part of an arm, to a wing with feathers, is nothing but pure fantasy. Darwin’s belief in evolution was 100% true for microevolution and 100% false for macroevolution. We will never be able to prove what happened 5,000, 10,000, or a million years ago. We can only provide evidence today that might tend to support or deny whatever beliefs we have.
