One of the amazing things to me in studying the creation-evolution controversy is the motivation of the people who support evolution. What would motivate an otherwise intelligent person to support the illogical idea that this extremely complex, orderly universe made itself out of nothing for no apparent reason? Here are some motives I have seen:

Some believe or support this “fairy tale for adults” because they have been taught it all their lives. These people have never seriously studied all sides of the controversy. They have been successfully brainwashed by the intense evolutionary propaganda of the last 100 years.

As Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long enough, and loud enough, and often enough the people will believe it.”

Sadly, some people support evolutionism for social-political reasons. These people (like Karl Marx, Stalin, Hitler and a host of others) understand that the teaching of evolutionism is foundational to their socialist cause. They know that it plays a vital role in the great struggle for the elite to enslave the masses under a new world order.

Then there are those who give lip service to evolution for financial reasons. Obtaining or maintaining a teaching position in a public school or university is very difficult if you are openly critical of the “sacred cow” of evolution or if you refuse to help “spread the faith” that is masquerading as legitimate science in textbooks.

Many of the proponents of evolution have a spiritual reason. They would readily accept any theory that would exclude God, moral absolutes, sin and judgment. To many, this is the most appealing aspect of evolution.

I would like to see any one bit of scientific proof that supports macro-evolution and disproves the idea that God created a complete, perfect and mature world in the recent past.

We have seen the hoaxes and frauds of evolution come and go. Nebraska man was going to be used as proof of evolution in the 1925 trial in Dayton, Tenn. Later it was discovered that the entire “man” had been scientifically built from one pig’s tooth. Piltdown man was an ape’s jaw filed down to fit a human skull as a deliberate fraud. Neanderthal man was just an old man with arthritis. Cro-Magnon man is 100 percent human. We could also point out the “discarded” theories of Lamarck, Voltaire, Darwin, Haeckel and others.

The Bible still stands firm: “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” That is real science.
