In the United States, as across the world, we have allowed ourselves to be denied a fundamental truth - that the universe and humanity have been created by God. In the sacred scriptures of the Jewish Torah, as well as the Christian Old Testament, the sections on Genesis describe the divine creation of the universe and humanity. We have allowed this to happen even though approximately 77.4% of our nation identifies ourselves as Christians or Jews. It is unconscionable that we have allowed this to happen to our faith.
What we have allowed to happen is to let a theory and a book published in 1859, "On the Origin of Species", by Charles Darwin, to replace the belief of creation by God, by a theory of "evolution". Some call it "scientific" but it fails the tests of scientific completion and proof. There is no doubt that humans and other species have evolved to a degree due to such things as nutrition, climate, and environment. But to say that humans today evolved over millions of years from a one celled organism is more than a bit of a stretch.How anybody can look at a loved one, a baby, a child, and not realize that the Creator...God...had something to do with this person is beyond comprehension. The human person is absolutely amazing with our physical and psychological makeup and how we function as humans. If we take just one example, eyesight, how it operates psychophysically starting with a magnificent optical instrument, our eye, and then how the eye interacts with our brain to give us vision and even more than that...a related thought process based upon what is seen. This alone is absolutely amazing. This can be applied to all functions of the body and humans; a perfect design that could only have been given to us by God. Then you combine all this with the human ability to think and reason, to have feelings and emotions, and most of all...to love. To suggest that all of this "evolved" from a one cell organism is totally absurd.
One has to look at the reason why evolution has been thrust, even forced upon us vs. creation. Creation is based upon God. For those that are awake about what is happening in the United States (and across the world), there has been a steady attempt to remove God from all aspects of American life. It begins with a distortion and purposeful misrepresentation of our history, our Founding as a nation, and our Constitution. You should note the word tricks used by those who oppose creation. God is too powerful of a word, so they prefer a more beatable "opponent". So in nearly all discussion today they have substituted "intelligent design" for the word God. Have you noticed this trick? It is very common today.
Let's look at evolution. If indeed humans have evolved according to Darwin, there should be, as with all historical scientific evidence, a trail of proof. This proof would be in the form of fossils showing the various stages of human development. In fact, Darwin himself realized this when he predicted that the fossil record would either prove or falsify his theory. Darwin realized the difficulty the fossil record (missing links) gave his theory when he said, "Why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduation, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Guess what? To the consternation of "Darwinists" there is no continuum of fossil history! Oh you will get a media report once in awhile where an animal or bird fossil remains are discovered from hundreds or thousands of years back and they somehow try to claim that a claw looks like a hand...and say...."see that...proof of evolution"! Unbelievably many fall for it.
Many scientists have admitted the lack of proof, albeit some very reluctantly. This is just a small sampling:
"Despite the bright promise that paleontology provides a means of 'seeing' evolution, it has presented some nasty difficulties for evolutionists, the most notorious of which is the presence of 'gaps' in the fossil record. Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them"...David B. Kitts, PhD (Zoology) Head Curator, Dept of Geology, Stoval Museum, University of Oklahoma
"The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution". "The family trees which adorn our text books are based on inference, however, reasonable, not the evidence of fossils" ... Stephen Jay Gould, Prof of Geology and Paleontology, Harvard University"
. . . Yet Gould and the American Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are no transitional fossils . . . I will lay it on the line, there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument."...Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London
"We do not have any available fossil group which can categorically be claimed to be the ancestor of any other group. We do not have in the fossil record any specific point of divergence of one life form for another, and generally each of the major life groups has retained its fundamental structural and physiological characteristics throughout its life history and has been conservative in habitat."...G. S. Carter, Professor & author, Fellow of Corpus Christi CollegeCambridge, England
"Darwin. . . was embarrassed by the fossil record. . . we are now about 120-years after Darwin and the knowledge of the fossil record has been greatly expanded. We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn't changed much. The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and, ironically, . . . some of the classic cases of Darwinian change in the fossil record, such as the evolution of the horse in North America, have had to be discarded or modified as a result of more detailed information."...David M. Raup, Curator of Geology Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago
"My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. . . . The fossil material is now so complete that it has been possible to construct new classes, and the lack of transitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material. The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled."...Prof N. Heribert Nilsson, Lund University, Sweden
". . . if man evolved from an apelike creature he did so without leaving a trace of that evolution in the fossil record."...Lord Solly Zuckerman, MA, MD, DSc (Anatomy) Professor of Anatomy, University of Birmingham
...ad infinitum....
The tragedy is that we have forced Darwinism into all textbooks and teaching in schools and colleges in the United States at the exclusion of creation! Further, people who even bring up the alternative of creation are ridiculed, insulted, called stupid, and every name in the book. This is the tact that is used when you try to bring out facts and truth vs. what is politically correct (and scientifically incorrect). We should never allow this to happen. Where are 77.4% Christians and Jews? Where are the rest of Americans who believe in truth, fact, and real provable science?
A number of years ago BOTH creation and evolution were in textbooks and discussed in schools as alternative theories on how our universe and humankind came about. Nothing was forced, students were allowed to make up their own minds on what to believe or not believe. This is called education.
We need to bring back true education in America and not allow a single, unproven theory of evolution to be shoved down our throats. We need to bring back the possibility....actually more than the possibility....that the universe and humankind was created by God. Don't let them do what they are currently doing to us and our children. The real reason behind pushing evolution is that it eliminates God. Think about it.
