Ch 4.1 - Evolution
"If the enemy can get you to question the first page of the Bible then why would you believe the rest of the book?" - Unknown
Narrative: 4 billion years ago, pond scum was struck by lightning. From that primordial soup, a slime mold crawled onto the land. Billions of years of natural and sexual selection turned that slime mold into a monkey. Three hundred thousand years ago, that monkey climbed down from a tree and learned to walk upright and talk to the other monkeys. Biologically speaking, humans are just another primate whose DNA is 96% genetically identical to a chimpanzee.

a. Theory vs. Fact
---------------------------
Evolution is the theory that the heritable characteristics of organisms change over successive generations. Charles Darwin first proposed it in 1859. Darwin's name is celebrated at the highest levels of politics and government. His theory is taught as fact in schools throughout the world. Just ask some of our most famous biologists:
"The statement that organisms have descended with modifications from common ancestors – the historical reality of evolution – is not a theory. It is a _fact_, as fully as the fact of the Earth's revolution about the sun." - Douglas Futuyma, Evolutionary Biology.
"One thing all real scientists agree upon is the _fact_ of evolution itself. It is a fact that we are cousins of gorillas, kangaroos, starfish, and bacteria. Evolution is as much a fact as the heat of the sun. It is not a theory, and for pity's sake, let's stop confusing the philosophically naive by calling it so. Evolution is a fact." - Richard Dawkins, Oxford Professor for Public Understanding of Science
"Today, nearly all biologists acknowledge that evolution is a _fact_. The term theory is no longer appropriate except when referring to the various models that attempt to explain how life evolves ... it is important to understand that the current questions about how life evolves in no way implies any disagreement over the fact of evolution." - Neil Campbell, Biology
Mathematics is the only science that can be proven as _fact_. Everything else is just a theory with varying degrees of certainty. Until a time machine exists that allows people to observe apes evolve into humans, the only proof we have is a spotty fossil record open to interpretation.
b. Why the Lie?
---------------------------
Man is a creature made in the likeness and image of God. Not a talking monkey that walks upright. Believing in evolution makes people feel lost. Inverting evolution brings people back to God.
"The moment humanity decided to believe the 'scientific' lie that humans are descended from monkeys is the moment we were set up to be fed all the lies in the world, including Covid and global warming." - Unknown
”Let’s go explain evolution to the monkeys.” - Mark Wahlberg, Planet of the Apes Remake
"I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us." - Father Merrin, The Exorcist
"An ape isn’t something we evolved from. Apes are something we devolve into for our sins." - Unknown
How you see yourself matters! Evolution is a win/win for the powers that be. First, evolution empowers the elite. It justifies their actions because they wouldn't be elite unless they weren't somehow genetically superior (either by birth or by accident). Second, evolution demoralizes the masses by making them think they're just talking monkeys. And when the masses are lost, they're more obedient, more pliant, less critical, and more easily controlled.
"Why don't we all tell the truth? Honesty, sadly, is not supportive of evolution. Look at flowers that mimic insects to aid pollination. Leopards that look like fields of weeds. Fish that have appendages that look like lures. Truth is not life-supporting. Deception is." - John McAfee
"Name one observation where dead chemicals formed a living cell by chance?" - Unknown
"Only one combination of over 100 amino acids can create life. The chances are 1 in 10 to the 40,000th power. That's about 12 pages of zeroes. Which means it's impossible and improbable that life was created by chance." - Hotep Jesus
"Einstein put it in easy terms after he did the math on this one. He said it would be the equivalent of a jet being stripped down to all its parts, laid on to a runway and a tornado comes along and rebuilds it perfectly. So all you geniuses on this board... are you smarter than Einstein?" - Unknown
"If evolution were a fact how come mutations from chemical spills and carcinogens never seem to do anything useful? Like give you better eyesight, sharper hearing, or a bigger d*ck? Or turn you into an X-Man with sharp claws or the ability to manipulate magnetic fields? Why's it always death, death, death? Because life itself is a delicate miracle. Anything altering the required mechanisms upsets that balance and death is the natural state of matter. Dead." - Unknown
Evolution exists, but in reverse. Life mutates, and _devolves_. If an animal is born with an extra or missing limb, does that make it superior to its parents? Never has a creature been born with better characteristics than that from which it was created.
"You do realize that anything in this universe, including DNA, tends to become less ordered with time, and not more ordered? It's an intelligent design folks. Evolution is a 'theory' without basic science and no explanation for the lack of transitional forms. Life was created and the complexity of it is the obvious evidence." - Unknown
"So, there you go. You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish squirrel. Congratulations!" - Mr. Garrison, South Park, explains the theory of evolution
"The apes touched the Monolith like in 2001: A Space Odyssey. It wasn’t long before they were tucking their junk in ape onesies. Then came Dr. Zauis and Planet of the Apes." - Unknown
"If evolution really worked, you wouldn't have humans, you would have Giger's Xenomorph. Now that's survival of the fittest!" - Unknown, Giger invented the Alien used in the movies (Xenomorph XX121 or Internecivus Raptus). "[Alien is] a movie about alien interspecies rape" where primal, predatory creatures with no higher goal than the preservation and propagation of their own species take over human spaceships and/or colonies.
”Game over man. Game over.” - Aliens, on the xenomorph destroying the evac aircraft.
“You are too old to be believing in Evolution... Evolution says people come from monkeys, and the question is, why is there still monkeys? You dumb motherf*cker!! Is these the retarded monkeys? They didn't turn into people just yet?" - Katt Williams on Evolution
“So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:21
In the first chapter of Genesis, the phrase "after its kind" or "after their kind" occurs ten times because no animal, including man, doesn't take after its kind. The next generation of each species is consistent in its characteristics with the previous generation: the snakes give birth to baby snakes, the cows produce young cattle, locusts hatch and make more locusts, and so on. Snakes don't produce alligators, cows don't produce buffalos, and apes don't produce men.
Who raised the first human baby? Not one evolutionary biologist has been able to answer: 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' Where are all the missing links?
Nature is one of the few truths that still exists that they cannot pervert. When viewed through the lens of evolution, it diminishes its wonder. It makes it less spiritual. Every building is proof of a builder. Every painting is proof of a painter.
"When we see a painting inside a frame, we know that someone has joined the two together. When we see a watch, we know that some intelligence has assembled it. Matter does not form itself into patterns without intelligence to guide it. The whole material universe is an argument from God." - Fulton Sheen on Intelligent Design
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Genesis 2 KJV
