Darwin’s Fables Series

11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

1859: A book came out that changed the landscape of science, religion and the world. It was a book that one atheist said, ‘gave us a seat at the intellectual table’. This book put in print the reason why people could begin to act and continue to act like they wanted to.

• Statistics show that 75% of kids in church youth groups will leave after high school and never return to the church even after having children. Our culture bombards them for years with a theory that attacks belief in God and the church has been doing very little to protect our kids.

• Christians are too busy arguing about how long creation took while the theory of evolution is not primarily about time but about God or no God.

IMPORTANT DATES TO CONSIDER

FEBRUARY 12th 1809: Two men were born that day. They shared the same day and year of birth. Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Many recently celebrated the 200th birthday of Darwin and the 150th year of his book.

1831: Darwin graduates from Cambridge with degree in theology to pursue career as pastor in Church of England. Instead takes a trip on HMS BEAGLE as a Naturalist. (Which is worse? A bad scientist or a bad preacher? Close call) Both are Self-serving rather than honest.)

1859 – Book ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES published:

1835-1837: A series of articles were published in the Magazine of Natural History (22 years before Darwin published his book) Darwin had copies of these magazines and parts of his book are nearly verbatim’ The articles were not written by Charles Darwin but by a man named EDWARD BLYTH. Darwin borrowed ideas that he eventually popularized. The difference is that Blyth believed in God as the Creator rather than blind forces of nature. He believed God created original species and that modern species descended from those kinds. Blyth also believed that man was a separate creation from animals and made in God’s image.

A DEADLY THEORY:

• Darwinism has provided the scientific substructure for some of the most significant atrocities in human history.

Slavery, war, abuse of human rights, racism, prejudice, sexism, immorality….all suddenly became acceptable as various out workings of a concept called ‘survival of the fittest’.

Many people loved this book: People like Adolph Hilter, Joseph Stalin, Mao in China., Karl Marx…

WW2 might not have happened without Charles Darwin because Adolph Hitler wrote in his book 1924 MEIN KALMPF his reason for the HOLOCAUST:

‘If nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one…. the strongest and best who must triumph and that they have the right to endure. He who does not wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist’. Adolph Hitler

Sir Arthur Keith(militant anti-christian): ‘The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained is an evolutionist; he has consistently sought to make the practices of Germany conform to the theory of evolution’.

Darwinist society keeps the best of races and recognizes the world would be better by ethnic cleansing. 1881-Darwin predicted lower races would be eliminated in the future(Hitler)

Darwins book was subtitled The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life: ‘At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace, the savage races throughout the world’.

Marvin Lubenow(Bones of Contention) ‘If the unfit survived indefinitely, they would continue to ‘infect’ the fit with their less fit genes’.

A DEMEANING THEORY: Politically Incorrect

Frued - faithful follower of Darwin. ‘Man was merely an animal and that mental disorders were the vestiges of behavior that had been appropriate in earlier stages of evolution’.

RACIALLY DEMEANING: Lower races represents earlier stages or evolution

Evolutionary Heigharchy: Whites – yellows and reds – blacks

(1925 American textbook used in Scopes trial)

( 1857 Dredd Scott Decision-property)

• Hitler used ideas against Jews and others non-Arians/used against Turks in Middle East and blacks worldwide.

Thomas Huxley: ‘It is simply incredible to think that he(lower race) will be able to complete successfully with his bigger brained and smaller jawed rival, in a contest which is carried on by thoughts and not by bites.’

H.F. Osborn(director of American Museum of Natural History) 100 years ago: ‘The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the 11 year old youth of the species Homo sapiens.’(different species!)

SEXUALLY DEMEANING: Women represent lower stages of evolution
