Buying the Lie

Buying the Lie

To the Progenitors of Charles Darwin on the 200th anniversary of his birth( Feb 12 1809), I dedicate this episode of reality because you should have learned long ago that the atheist and the protagonist of his cause should have given up the lie. Perhaps never in the history of man has attenuated such a myth as the obscure theory of evolution. Medical student Darwin ran out of his first real challenge of anatomical study when the limb of a patient was being amputated without anesthesia which had not been discovered. It is believed that one of the discoverers of anesthesia, but the specific discoverer of anesthesia has not been ascertained even by the US congress in 1849. So, Darwin gave up medicine and became (which is debatable) the worlds most known naturalist. He attached himself to captain Robert Fitzroy aboard the HMS Beagle on a voyage across the Atlantic and around the cape of Good Hope that lasted 5 years during which he made his famous studies at the Galapagos islands which this writer has visited of the cost of Ecuador.

When I was a boy, one of my many chores on the farm was assisting my father in the castration of pigs. I’m sure, after I went to college, my brothers assumed that distasteful job. The male pigs were never the same after the surgery. In the movies, we have all seen the branding of cattle with a hot branding iron and we can assume the cattle were never the same after this procedure.

The Atheist scientist, still tries to line up the chief creation of god’s handiwork with such animals as these void of soul and human genome that makes our scientific molecular structure. The ontogeny which they hope recapitulates phylogeny. They even confuse the Austrian priest Mendal who did early work with peas and flowers and is known as the father of genetics affording him a place in this evolution myth. With the discovery in 1953 of DNA by James D. Watson of Chicago and Francis H. C. Crick of Cambridge, I thought once and for all much of this theory on evolution would be put to rest. After all, Darwin’s 1859 book has the title “On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life” which was mostly a racist exposition by a man who had never seen a microscope or telescope and who’s biological knowledge was rudimentary at best.

In the Galapagos where I have visited the 3700 mile Rift Valley through central Africa was first discovered by John Walter Gregory (which I have visited and actually met Mary Leakey, archaeologist and anthropologist, before she died in 1996). I yield to a much superior mind, Dr. Henry Morris who said “It is impossible to devise a scientific experiment to describe the creation process, or even to ascertain whether such a process can take place. The Creator does not create at the whim of a scientist." A Christian, a child of god filled with his holy spirit is not required by god to defend his knowledge of science or his faith which we believe to be a verb defined as action supported by belief and confidence.

The millions of American tax dollars expended by non believers in an effort to establish a big bang, to convince students that they come from the “goo to the zoo, to you” continues to be a process of useless activity. All the answers of life have been given to us in gods word “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” (Psalms 8 3-9).

In every high school and college graduation address I have given even before some atheist who thought they knew it all I never hesitated to say that the eternal world can be summed up in five words “he made the stars also.” No list of university doctorates, not one of the many books written on evolution have ever disproved these five words and, I always say to every audience “you need to spend time rejoicing in your belief and no time dwelling on the doubts of the heathen.” Every university student is always exposed to an atheist faculty member who takes pleasure in trying to reduce his faith. Fames zoologist Dr. Claybourne Jones who taught me at UNCCH “hold on to your faith.” The only thing this university professors have to look forward to is a bitter lonely, helpless life here on earth and unspeakable eternity. The believer has the joy of redemption and the security of knowing, as did Joshua “No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5).

The resurrection of our blessed lord is the most important and definite fact of history. Those who knew him best, hi disciples, weak as they were knew this power as immediately after his ascension. They left for various parts of the world, Telling of the “good news”. Only one who has traveled across the Himalayas as I have who has spent as much time in India as I have, can understand the disciple Thomas going all the way to India, “spreading the gospel” until he was killed in the city of Chennai near the city Madras.

Bartholomew, tradition says was flayed and crucified upside down in Armenia. Mark, near Alexandria Egypt, was tied and dragged around town until he was dead. Peter, in Rome, was crucified upside down because he was not worthy to be crucified as Jesus was. Paul, in Rome, (writer of 14 of the 27 books of the New Testament) was beheaded in the reign of roman Emperor Nero “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. And others had trial of cruel mocking and scourging, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented” (Hebrews 11).

These disciples of Christ who witnessed his resurrection did not have any way to communicate with each other (the telephone was not put into the white house until 1877) they could have deserted the memory of our blessed lord just as the list of martyr in Hebrew 11. Faith gave them the strength of a powerful testimony.

Let the heathen rage, leave them with their doubts and fears, and their theories on evolution. The verse of scripture which changed my life long ago and is still the guiding light of this totally blind veteran “Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them” (Psalms 84:5).
