Bible Question (short): Evolution vs. Creation in Today's World |
Question (full): 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 |
