From a recent christian church bulletin: "Dr. John Morris is affiliated with the Insitute for Creation Research in El Cajon, CA He produces a column each month in a publication called 'Back to Genesis.' "In the October issue there appeared a facinating piece regarding the startling admission of a molecular biologist who was interviewed earlier this year by a journalist in Virginia. I would like to pass along the gist of this piece because many of our readers likely are unacquainted with this valuable little paper, and because the incident is so telling. "The interviewer and the experimental biologist were discussing the matter of the incredible volume of complicated information that is packed into the human genetic code. The newsman asked the researcher if he believed the astonding array of information in the DNA code -- which the scientist had compared to a document 'larger than four complete sets of Encyclopedia Britannica.' "He replied '...nobody I know in my profession believes it evolved. It was engineered by 'genius beyond genius.' And such information could not have been written any other way. The paper and ink did not write the book! Knowing what we know, it is ridiculous to think otherwise. "The Biologist was then asked if he had stated that conclusion in public. He replied that he had not. It simply was not feasible, he said, as a working scientist, to reveal a view of nature. He admitted that he could not deny the evidence for 'design,' but that it would be professionally suicidal to deny that the genetic process had evolved. He confessed that if he openly expressed his true feeling, he'd soon 'be out of a job, or relegated to the outer fringes where (he) couln't earn a decent living. "The biologist then compared his plight to the old quip about the 'elephant in the living room.' He said that 'creation disign' is 'like an elephant in the living room. It moves around, takes up an enormous amount of space, loudly trumpets, bumps into us, knocks things over, eats a ton of hay, and smells like an elephant. AND YET WE HAVE TO SWEAR IT ISN'T THERE! (emphasis added by article writer). "Is that not pathetic? Even sad? The gentleman knows that the genetic code of the 'fearfully and wonderfully made' (Ps 139:14) human being could not have designed itself. Hence, it must have proceeded from a Mind characterized by 'genius beyond genius.' And yet he is so intimidated by his cience peers, so fearful for his reputation, that he is refuses to acknowledge his Creator in a candid and public way." End of article I have to agree with this writer. How very sad for our country (once known as a Godly nation) to not only deny christians of prayer at public events and display of the Ten Commandments but now it encourages men like this to deceive the public in order to provide a decent living for their families. We can hope and pray that we can influence our fellow Americans to return to that lofty position of being a Godly nation once again. My main desire with this post would be to solicit from you good folks examples in your corner of the world showing some progress against this onslaught against God and His Will in our country. God bless you for participating. Rowdy |

On a similar note: “There are only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution. The other is a supernatural, creative act of God. There is no third possibility. Spontaneous generation that life arose from non-living matter was scientifically disproved long ago by Louis Pasteur and others. That leaves us with only one possible conclusion – that life arose as a supernatural, creative act of God.” I will not accept that philosophically, because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.” Dr. George Wald, professor emeritus of biology at Harvard University and Nobel Prize winner in 1971, as he wrote in Scientific American magazine “I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning. For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality, because it interfered with our sexual freedom. We objected to the political and economic system, because it was unjust. The supporters of these systems claim that in some way they embodied the meaning – a Christian meaning, they insisted – of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confusing these people and at the same time justify ourselves in our political and erotic revolt. We could deny that the world had any meaning whatsoever.” Humanist and Atheist Aldous Huxley from his book, “Ends and Means” Dobzhansky frequently was quoted as saying; “We know evolution is true, even though we don’t know how it works, and have never seen it happen.” “To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, ….. and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” (Darwin) |
