HOW THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DANGEROUS AND EVIL.

While everything that disagrees with the Bible is wrong and potentially dangerous, not all of it is intentionally evil.  There are many opposing views which come from ignorance.  The Theory of Evolution, however, does not.  In the realm of evil lies and philosophies perpetrated by and upon different societies, it is absolutely one of the worst!  Using this theory as justification, various people and groups have committed incredible acts of evil against each other—including wide-spread theft, enslavement, and murder—and countless numbers of them have rejected God and are now burning in Hell. 

A. REJECTION OF GOD

The Theory of Evolution utterly contradicts the book of Genesis, which is the foundation for the entire Word of God.  Genesis is where we find out that God created man and the universe, and that everything He made was ‘good.’  It is where we learn of the beginning of sin and death (and that they are not God’s fault), and that the entire human race has become evil.  (Thus, we should not be surprised when the world is united against Him.)  It tells of the first world-wide judgment (which displayed God’s wrath and justice), and records His first promise of the Savior (which displayed His mercy).  It says that the Savior would be male, born of a virgin, suffer when He came, and destroy Satan and his kingdom.  Anyone who rejects what is written in the first part of the Bible (Genesis) is going to have a hard time believing that which comes after (i.e. how to live and how to be saved).

A major problem facing Christianity today, especially in the ‘Western World,’ is that we do not understand this Biblical truth as well as our Evolutionist opponents.  Take a look at the following two quotes written by atheists.  

“It becomes clear now that the whole justification of Jesus’ life and death is predicated on the existence of Adam and the forbidden fruit he and Eve ate.  Without the original sin, who needs to be redeemed?  Without Adam’s fall into a life of constant sin terminated by death, what purpose is there to Christianity?  None. . . . Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary.  Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god.  Take away the meaning of his death.  If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing!” /// American Atheist Magazine, Feb., 1978, by G. Richard Bozarth.!”

“If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement, upon which the current teaching based Christian emotion and morality, collapsed like a house of cards.”  ///  Atheist – H.G. Wells, H.G., The outline of history — being a plain history of life and mankind, Cassell & Company Ltd, London, UK, (the fourth revision), Vol. 2, p. 616, 1925.  ///   (Herbert George Wells (1866–1946), mostly known as simply ‘H.G. Wells’, was a well-known pioneer of science fiction novels (The Time Machine, War of the Worlds), a prominent Fabian Socialist, historian and eugenicist.)

B. JUSTIFICATION OF EVIL

So, the Theory of Evolution completely contradicts the Bible; its’ adherents claiming that it is both scientifically verifiable and true, while the ‘Word of God’ is not.  This then, supposedly disproves the existence of God, (i.e. ‘there is no Creator, no higher moral being, to whom we are accountable.’)   As a result, people—bolstered by this lie—seek to justify all kinds of evil (doing whatever is right in their own eyes).  Not surprisingly, whatever is right in their eyes, often conflicts with whatever is right in their neighbors’ eyes.  The result: ‘The strong rule the weak;’ ‘might makes right;’ it’s ‘survival of the fittest.’  (F.Y.I. The coming of this ‘world-wide rebellious fantasy’ was foretold by God 2,000 years ago.)  Here are some of the things which have occurred, as a result of people accepting the Theory of Evolution.  All of this has taken place in the last hundred years.

1. MASS MURDER 

1-a. Germany  

When Adolph Hitler and the Nazis came into power in Germany in 1933, the country had already been taught that the Theory of Evolution was true.  (Satan had prepared for their coming.)  Hitler used this and the “superman philosophy” of Fredrich Nietzsche to convince the German people that they–the Aryan/Nordic/German type (non Jewish, non-Polish Caucasians)–were the most highly-evolved and superior race on earth.  His next step was to convince all the right people in all the right places that it was in the best interest of humanity  to “further the process of natural selection” by annihilating the Jews, Poles, Gypsies, and others.  This plan was then designed, organized, and put into place by some highly respected people in the academic world–judges, heads of hospitals, and heads of scientific institutions.  They subsequently murdered eleven million citizens and confiscated their property.

Don’t think that it is safe when people straddle the fence on this Creation vs. Evolution issue by saying they believe in both God and Evolution.  This is called “Progressive Creationism” or “Theistic Evolution,” and it suggests that God created the universe through the processes of Evolution.  After the Holocaust, many Nazis and other Germans claimed this “belief” as a defense.  They actually tried to justify what they did as “collaborating with God in the process of natural selection.”  Some of them were even ‘church members,’ (though, not true Christians).

1-b. Russia

Vladimir I. Lenin (leader of the Soviet Union 1917-1924) pushed a combination of Evolution, communism, and ‘scientific atheism’ while murdering tens of millions of people. Under his successor Joseph Stalin—who pushed the same beliefs—millions of more Soviet citizens were murdered or sent to labor camps. Stalin is said to have believed that killing millions of people was no worse than mowing your lawn (humans being ‘related’ to grass in Evolutionist’s doctrine).

1-c. China

Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung)—the communist leader in China from 1949-1976—conducted a reign of terror which resulted in tens of millions of deaths.  Zedong’s two favorite books were written by Charles Darwin and Alex Huxley.

1-d. Australia 

The Theory of Evolution was also used to justify the mass murder of a large group of Aborigines (the native people of Australia) who were said to be “not fully human.”  Some so called scientists then went as far as having some of these murder victims skinned and their skulls removed for “scientific purposes.”  (They actually skinned people’s mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.)

1-e. U.S. Serial Killer

The theory of evolution is also dangerous on an individual basis.  Look at the following quote by serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer on the Dateline NBC program, November 29, 1994. 

“If a person doesn’t think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what’s the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges?  That’s how I thought anyway.  I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime.  When we died, you know, that was it, there is nothing, and I’ve since come to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is truly God, and I believe that I, as well as everyone else, will be accountable to Him.” 

2. ABORTION

2-a. God and Abortion

Before we even get into this, let me assure you from the Word of God that a baby in the womb is a living person with senses, abilities, emotions, rights, and even a sinful nature. 

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. . . “As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.” Luke 1:41,44  ( Question: Can a non-living mass of tissue leap for joy?) 

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Psalm 51:5  (Question: Can a non-living mass of tissue have a sinful nature?) 

The Bible is so clear and so strong on this, that it not only specifically refers to a baby in the womb as “life,” under ‘Old Testament’ law, the unjust ending of this “life” required the death penalty.  

If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows.  But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, . . .  Exodus 21:22,23   

A “just” ending of it would only be to save the mother’s life.  If the mother died, the baby would die anyway.  (Question: If the virgin Mary would have had an abortion, what would have been removed?)

2-c. You and Abortion

I do not have the answer for the unwed mother problem in our world today.  I have only Biblical solutions which do not work in societies which have rejected God.  I know that if we would all repent, turn back to God, and ask Him for forgiveness and help, He would bless our world and provide for us all.  While this unfortunately is not going to happen en-masse, it does happen on an individual basis.  If you are considering an abortion,  STOP!!!    Go to God: Ask Him for help and trust Him to care for you and your baby.  (Or allow the child to be adopted.)  If you have already had an abortion, then go to Him for forgiveness, healing, and love.  He is not only willing to forgive you, He actually died on a cross so He could.  He is watching you right now, with forgiveness in mind, love in His heart, and His arms open wide to receive you.  Go to Him! 

This offer of forgiveness and love extends also to every repentant boyfriend, husband, and abortionist. 

2-d. The Theory of Evolution and Abortion

In 1866, Ernst Heinrich Haeckel, a German biologist and strong supporter of Evolution, made the following statement: “The human fetus goes through a fish stage–with gill slits on the side of its head–which is a leftover characteristic of our evolutionary ascent.”  He indicated that this was proof that we were simply evolving animals and that having an abortion was, therefore, no more significant than disposing of an unwanted pet.  (This idiotic fabrication is known as “Haeckel’s Recapitulation Theory,” and the part of the baby which he said was “gill slits” is the inner ear and some of the glands in the neck in the early stages of development.)  In perpetrating this lie, Haeckel also fabricated other supposed bits of evidence which people eagerly accepted as fact.  (1) He created side by side drawings of human, rabbit, chicken, salamander, and fish embryos–altering their appearance in order to make them look similar.  In these drawings, which were used in High School and College textbooks for more than 100 years, he added features, omitted others, and obscured differences in scale.  (2) He claimed that people and animals had certain organs which he called “vestigial organs” (an example being the human appendix), which are supposedly useless to us now, but had been needed by our “evolutionary ancestors.”  [Science has discovered the purpose of every organ in the human body (the appendix playing a role in the immune system) and given enough time, could do the same with every animal organ]. Haeckel’s theory is still being used by Evolutionists in the 1990’s to justify abortion, and is still presented as fact in some schools and abortion clinics.

2-e. Money and Abortion

Abortion is not a “women’s rights” issue to the greatest forces supporting it in this country–legally, legislatively, and from a public relations standpoint.  It is a financial issue!  There were an estimated 35 million abortions performed in this country in the first 25 years after it became legal (in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision).  What is even more sickening, is that the largest abortion providers in the United States are also the largest providers of sex-education curriculum to our children in the public schools.  This curriculum, not surprisingly, almost always excludes teaching abstinence or severely neglects it.  In business, we call this “Marketing!”  (Another organization which has provided money for sex-education curriculum in our public schools, is one of the largest providers of pornography in this country.)

3. RACISM & SLAVERY

Defining people by their race—by their physical characteristics—increased in popularity in the late 1800’s as a result of the growing acceptance of the Theory of Evolution which “recognized the superiority of more highly evolved people.”  (Charles Darwin’s book–which introduced the Theory of Evolution to our culture in 1859–is usually referred to by the ‘shortened’ title, The Origin of Species.  The full title was, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.) Racism is foolishness, as we are all one race (human), all created in the image of God (far above any animal), and have all descended from the same two people (Adam and Eve).  The results of this evil became apparent in Germany under the reign of Adolph Hitler, who wrote in his book, Mein Kampf, “Racially mixed marriages would conceive monstrosities between man and ape, rather than images of the Lord.” It also became very apparent in the early years of this country, as the United States Supreme Court ruled that “black people were not human”–they had not fully evolved from apes–in the 1857 ‘Dred Scott decision.’ It was also argued around the time of the Civil War that ‘slavery reflected the law of nature, which permitted the strong to rule the weak.’
