EVOLUTION: ‘INTELLIGENT DESIGN’? WHY NOT ‘GOD’?
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
God created all things from nothing — ex nihilo — as we learned it in seminary.
So there.
“In the beginning, God created. . .” Genesis 1
One of the dumbest theories ever spun out is Charles Darwin’s foisting “evolution” upon the masses with The Origin of the Species. It’s absolutely nonsensical. It lines up with no logic.
I came from a speck somewhere sometime past? I don’t think so. Maybe you did, but I did not. God created the likes of me in the form of First Male and First Female. From that couple came the human race.
To believe that the greater came from the lesser is to believe in fairies dancing on the day lilies.
Now US President George W. Bush is pressed to defend something called “Intelligent Design.” Good for him. I expected that of Bush the believer. And what he is doing is bringing the wrath of squirreled brains down upon his head. However, he’s used to that. So goes the presidency.
However, of course when one is a Christian, having faith in the Bible as divine revelation, then accepting the reasonable start to homo sapien existence as presented by the divine is not difficult at all. In fact, the Genesis record sets forth that which is quite basic to understanding.
Being more than a “creation hymn,” which is to reduce the Genesis data to poetry rather than historical truth, the first several chapters of Genesis give the thinker a thoughtful grasp on the origins. Alpha-to-Omega, in other words, is the One who sparked life itself and all attending same.
According to The Washington Post, “President George W. Bush invigorated proponents of teaching alternatives to evolution with remarks saying that schoolchildren should be taught about ‘intelligent design,’ a view of creation that promotes the idea that an unseen force is behind the development of humanity.
“Although he said curriculum decisions should be made by local school districts, Bush told Texas newspaper reporters at the White House on Monday that intelligent design should be taught alongside evolution as competing theories.
"’Both sides ought to be properly taught ... so people can understand what the debate is about,’ he said.”
Now at least one would give credit to Mr. Bush for being fair. But of course the atheists and agnostics have to go into a snit over this belief system projection so as to be totally biased in their near-faint gasps of dismay. Prejudice rules their thought patterns. It always has. That’s liberalism at its most obvious.
All the more Christians then stand their ground against the secularists who pounce on anything smacking of Christianity, according to them the disease now ruining all worldly good matter. With that, all the more Christians give voice to the reasonable record of Genesis.
“In the beginning, God created. . .”
We believers will not even tolerate evolution being mentioned let alone taught. Why? Not just because evolution is atheist-based but because it’s as lunatic as anyone can conjure.
It’s ridiculous to conclude that such a complex world as ours sprung from explosions impersonal, that humans strung themselves out from tiny somethings squiggling around in whatevers and all the other fanciful weavings that evolutionists have haughtily strutted before their secular audiences.
Darwin was used by the devil to give the anti-God folk something to talk about, debate, get mad about, scream about, and have school committees for. Darwin was simply another mortal down through history who was instrumented by forces of darkness to war against Creator God. So what’s new?
“Much of the scientific establishment contends intelligent design is not a tested scientific theory, but a cleverly marketed effort to introduce religious thinking to students,” The Washington Post reported.
Guess what? Christians know full well that evolution can in no way be recognized as a “tested scientific theory.” It’s hockum. That’s all it is.
And as for something being “cleverly marketed,” evolution has been that since Darwin put pen to paper, except for the fact that believers are not so cleverly duped and therefore have never taken to the stupid yarn.
