EXPOSING THE UNSC
CULT OF EVOLUTIONISM

“O
fools, and slow of heart to believe everything the
prophets have said: // It is impossible for God to lie.” (Luke 24:25, Hebrews 6:18).
The great mass of humanity is blind to
the truth of God. If they think of God at all they fail to see Him as anything
more than “The Man upstairs,” or someone they can call upon for goodies. Yet
nothing could be further from the truth! The
God whom we worship not only has numbered the hairs of your head, but has
designed every atom, assigning to every element the characteristics that it
displays. Every molecule, every subatomic particle, is known to Him. And, He is the one who determines what is
There are NO “facts” of science that contradict God’s Word, only facts that sin
blinded little men, in their ignorance, interpret to contract God’s Word when
they could just as well be interpreted to agree with God’s Word.
In past centuries, both the Greeks and
the Chinese developed a rudimentary science. However, in both cases their
science was limited in its development by the fact that they failed to discern
the mathematical basis underlying all of creation. In contrast, because the
founders of modern science were Christians, they expected to find intelligent
design in every detail of creation. And, that is what sets modern science
apart! Because all of creation has a mathematical basis, things as different as
the curvature of a snail shell or the placement of seeds in a sunflower follow
a mathematical pattern, and scientists can use sign, cosign and tangent to
determine vectors and thrust while insurance companies use pi to determine
probability.
However, during that period of
mental-darkening that is wrongly called, “The enlightenment” certain bloated
egotists rejected the truth of God’s Word in a vain attempt to create a
religion that consisted of “pure reason”. What they failed to realize was that
all of their reasoning rested on assumptions that were only perceived as true
at the time because of their ignorance. Assumptions like the idea that single
celled organisms are just jelly-like masses (an assumption that is ridiculous
in the light what we now know about the complicated inner workings of every
cell): Or the assumption that there is no limit to little variations that we
see between one generation and another (again, an assumption that seems
ridiculous in the light of modern genetic science).
The supernatural explanations that the
founders of modern science rejected had nothing to do with the Bible. They
accepted the Bible! On the contrary, what they rejected were pagan fantasies:
such as the claim that the planet Mars was a god riding around the sun in his
chariot, or the claim that the gods put things that look like fish into the
rocks to trick us. And, the atheists who twisted that rejection of man-made fantasies
to exclude a Biblical worldview have not improved science one bit. On the
contrary, they have instead filled many textbooks with their own man-made
fantasies; atheistic fantasies that undermine morality and could destroy
civilization itself.
All cults will appeal to some authority
in order to make their views seem credible. And, just as some cults will seize
on ambiguous statements of Scripture while claiming that their explanation is
the only possible explanation; the cult we are looking at seizes on ambiguous
observable facts while claiming that their explanation of those facts is the
only possible explanation.
For example: In the last century
scientists observing the stars discovered evidence that the universe was
expanding – indicating that the universe could not be infinitely old. All that the
evidence indicated was that the universe is expanding. That fact does not say a
thing about the age of the universe or how it came into existence. However,
because their pseudo-scientific worldview needed an explanation for the universe
that excludes God as the creator, they made up a story about the universe
popping into existence popularly known as the “Big Bang”. Although, as with
every cult, its supporters will twist facts to support this story and explain
away any that do not, the evidence against the “Big Bang” as a viable
explanation is growing. In truth, it is just a made-up story, nothing more.
As another example, consider the claim
that life came from non life. Because Charles Darwin needed some explanation
for the origin of life, he went with the idea that life originated in a warm
little pond. He had no evidence! He did not conduct any experiments to see if
that was even possible! Because some people back then believed that it was
possible, he simply assumed that it happened without any evidence. And, because
he wanted an explanation of the origin of life that left out God as the Creator
he just made up a story about the first life originating from non-life, and
slowly through many minute changes gradually morphing into all other life
forms. There is no evidence that this happened! It is just a story that leaves
out God.
Since the time of
Because the idea that life comes from
non-life has failed so many scientific tests, evolutionists will often to avoid
discussing it by saying something like, “The origin of life has nothing to do
with evolution, evolution only has to do with the changes to living things”.
But, that is totally dishonest!
In regard to changes to living things,
experiments by Gregor Mendel and many others have revealed that the minute
variation that we observe from one generation to the next is the result of
reshuffling genetic information, not the creation of new information. That
means that change is limited to what is included in that pre-existing genetic
information. So, here again, science does not support evolutionism. Nevertheless,
the cult devotees of evolution ignore the evidence and try to make up more
stories to get around it. For a while they claimed that the changes that morph
one creature into another were caused by mutation, and many of their textbooks
still make that claim. However, modern science has shown that mutations are the
result of random damage to the genetic material, and are never beneficial. So
they made up another story, called, “punctuated equilibrium”. According to that
story, life forms will continue unchanged for generations, and then (perhaps
after abracadabra, “millions of years”) a sudden radical change takes place.
And such changes over time result in evolution. There is no scientific evidence
for this claim! It has never been observed! Evolutionists need to explain life
without God so they make up stories, and if one story doesn’t fly they make up
another one. That is the way cults deal with evidence, and it should never be
confused with true science. Of such scientific dishonesty Dr. Walter A. Maier
once said:
“This cutthroat criticism of the Bible has
perpetually been marked by misrepresentations. The great Haeckel,
who for years dominated scientific biological thought in
Pseudo-Scientific Fraud
As that quote of Dr. Walter A. Maier
says, the history of evolutionism is a history of fraud and deception, not
science. To give one example: While many fossil fish can be recognized as
virtually identical to species living today, when fossil Coelacanth were first
discovered they not only were thought to be extinct, but appeared somewhat
different in that some of their fins were at the end of little stalks. For that
reason, cult thinkers jumped at the chance to make up a story about how this
particular fish (the Coelacanth) did not become extinct, but instead evolved
into amphibians some 60 million years ago. They had no scientific evidence for
that claim, but it fit their cult doctrine so they had no qualms about talking
about it as if it was absolute fact rather than fantasy.
When I was a child I was given a picture book about
animals (published in the 1930s) that had a section about the Coelacanth. That section
had pictures of a Coelacanth living in a swamp, and in commenting on those
pictures the writers stated as matter-of-fact that the Coelacanth had lived in
swamps, and evolved its fins on stalks so that as one pond in the swamp dried
up it could walk on its fins to another pond. It then went on to claim that the
Coelacanth later evolved into the first amphibians. They had no scientific
evidence to support that story! They just made it up in the same way that the
ancients made up a story about the planet Mars being a god in a chariot. It was
a stupid fairytale! What the writers failed to realize is that a living
Coelacanth had been caught, and contrary to their fairytale, it not only did
not live in swamps, it is a deep water fish that never walks on its fins.
Did that discovery lead the evolutionists to admit
that they were wrong? Not on your life! The latest claim is that there were
different species of Coelacanth, and the ones that lived in swamps are now
extinct. Do they have any proof? NO. It is just another fairytale that they
have invented as a rescuing device. And, that is just more evidence that
evolutionism is a cult, not science.
Another source of fraud can be found in their
desperate attempts to find “ape-men”. All of the so called ape-men that
appeared in text books when I was in school have been rejected as frauds, yet
some evolutionists still cite them as “proofs” of their mythology. Of one of
those frauds “Java man”, Dr. Walter A. Maier said, “The star witness in the defense
of evolution, is the Java fossils widely hailed as the
remains of the first apelike man. Now, not I nor the Church, but the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington lists fifteen major points on which
scientists hold contradictory opinions concerning these three bone fragments.
They are not even agreed that the fossils belong to one creature. Many hold
that they are ape remains. In spite of this wide-spread disagreement and the
suspicious way in which these bones have been handled they are employed by
imagination, not by science, to construct a slinking, brutish, apelike man, who
is to demonstrate that the Bible account of creation is an exploded myth. I ask
the members in this audience, entirely apart from the religious issues, whether
any court in the land could admit testimony as contradictory as this.” [From the sermon, “Back to Bible
Truth!” January 1936.]
The latest so called “evidence” of
evolution is the skeleton of a female pigmy chimp known as “Lucy”. In spite of
the fact that this skeleton is that of a creature about three and a half feet
tall, lacks any foot or hand bones, has the hip joint of a chimp, and includes
only a few fragments of the skull, many museums have three-dimensional
representations of “Lucy” that stand at least five feet tall complete with
human hands and feet, upright posture, human poses and even human eyes. That is
pure fraud!
One reason for that fraud lies in the
fact that human footprints were found about one thousand miles from Lucy in a
rock layer which, according to evolutionary mythology, formed long before
humans were on the earth. In order to explain those footprints, evolutionists
depict Lucy with human feet and hands even though the evidence says otherwise. In
short, when the evidence does not fit their worldview, they just make us a
story and make the evidence fit. That is self-deception, not science!
“Glaring errors crop out on every page of
scientific history. The great Huxley announced that he had found the primary
living substance in slimy ooze at the bottom of the sea. Congratulations poured
in upon him. The scientific world was agog for a decade or two, until it was
found that this gelatine life which was to disprove
divine creation and to establish brute origin was concocted when a quantity of
alcohol was poured into a bottle of sea water. Medical anesthesia was denied by
scientists; the action of microbes ridiculed, the telephone declared
ventriloquism, railroad construction branded as an absurdity, meteors ruled out
as impossible, the theory that the blood circulates through the body regarded
as stupid twaddle. A lecturer at the
Conclusion
“When the Word of God is contradicted by the word of
man, it does not matter how important or authoritative that man may be; his
theory, even if it has the endorsement of learned societies and scientific
bodies, is unprovable. Every argument ever advanced
to show ape ancestry, — the argument from the similar skeletal structure of
animals and men, from fossil remains, from the developing embryo, from blood tests,
from geographical distribution, useless organs, transmutation of species, —
these and a host of other theories, drafted for the defense of this godless
doctrine, have been considered by reputable and internationally known
scientists, and their repeated verdict has been decidedly negative.” [Dr Walter A. Maier, from
the sermon, Creation or Evolution, 1930]
