EVOLUTIONISTS WERE WRONG
By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
After 25,000 years of evolving by trial and error, man now has the unprecedented power to begin consciously and willfully directing the course of his own future evolution. He can with scientific tools available, to some extent take over the reins of his own destiny and make himself what he wants to be through artificial selection rather than leave it to natural selection and chance. - Arthur J. Snider
When Snider wrote these words for the Daily News, science had become "a little tin god." The US was riding the wave of prosperity and popularity, and the world was eating out of her hand. President J.F. Kennedy had established Camelot, with all its fun and games, founded the Peace Corps and was launching the man-on-the-moon project. And the United Nations was a friend, instead of an enemy!
But all that changed in 25 years: the US suffered a humiliating defeat in Vietnam - which nearly tore the nation apart - their trade imbalance, together with the national deficit is now threatening to bring the nation down, monetarily. And Watergate exposed that nation's conscience before the world, the first US President was forced to resign in disgrace!
The UN had ganged up on America, and many believed it to be a trojan horse, giving enemies of democracy a platform to denounce the US while gathering sensitive information, clandestinely! A god of science has created several monsters, which could destroy not only man, but all life on this planet!
The atomic bomb which stopped the carnage of World War II, is still the greatest threat to annihilation, through her ever-increasing offspring. The hydrogen, cobalt and neutron bombs, together with the monstrous new multiple-warhead-delivery systems are still intact and ready for deployment. Even after the demise of the USSR, the signing of SALT and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, the world remains an armed camp. We still have the greatest build-up of deadly war materials ever amassed in the history of the world, both conventional and nuclear - Russian as well as American! Don’t let anyone fool you, there is still enough nuclear weapons available to destroy this planet many times over!
MODERN SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS UNRELIABLE!
Not only is the world an armed camp; but modern scientific achievements are proving unreliable and dangerous, in many cases...like space exploration and nuclear power! After years of unfettered success -only a decade ago - the US suffered gigantic setbacks in their entire space program, with the Challenger Tragedy’, and the USSR experienced the frightening situation in the ‘Chernobyl Disaster’.
THE REAL DANGER NOW IS THE ACQUIRING OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS BY FANATICAL MUSLIM REGIMES IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM FRIENDLY MUSLIM NUCLEAR REPUBLICS, LIKE KHAZAKSTAN.
Iran has already purchased 3 world class state-of- the-art nuclear powered submarines from Russia. It is also well documented that smugglers are busy purveying smaller amounts of atomic and nuclear materials out of the former Soviet Union. Several have been caught but it's estimated that those who have gotten through are a much larger number.
What a terrible scenario. Nuclear devices in the hands of fanatical terrorists! No wonder former US President Ronald Reagan stated about 5 years ago: "We are now living in the most dangerous time in the world's history."
Added to all this, in his quest for progress, mankind has brutally assaulted and raped this planet. We have polluted the earth, air, water, and space! We have become slaves to inventions, technologies, and so-called breakthroughs, with the 20th century mentality of push, grab and run!
SNIDER WAS DECEIVED BY THE ILLUSIVE PROMISES OF AN EXALTED SCIENCE BECAUSE OF THE BASIC FALLACY OF THE THEORY OF GODLESS EVOLUTION!
Nothing added to nothing, multiplied by nothing, subtracted from nothing and divided by nothing, produced everything; sums up the evolutionary theory!
RECAPITULATION THEORY; BASIS FOR KILLING FETUSES!
Just like abortionists were deceived by the ‘Recapitulation Theory’ - a belief that was shattered by the ability to photograph the fetus, proving the unborn baby was not evolving from fish to human - Snider and many of his colleagues have been rudely awakened by the new realities.
Because of the deception of both the evolutionistic pseudo - scientists and the on-going march of cold-blooded exterminators of human fetuses, I felt it necessary to insert - at the end of this column - an article by the eminent scientist Dr. Henry M. Morris, director of the Institute for Creation Research.
Two world wars, the holocaust, the tyranny of Communism and the failure of the League of Nations and the United Nations to bring lasting peace, has proven atheist evolutionary scientists wrong! Education, material prosperity and technological advancement does not rid the human spirit of hatred, greed, pride and prejudice; only a spiritual revival will do that!
SNIDER HAD GRADUATED FROM EVOLUTION'S PRIMITIVE GOD OF CHANCE TO SCIENCE'S NEW GOD OF TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEY HAVE BOTH FAILED!
Because the same liar who deceived Charles Darwin and the recapitulation abortionists, also deceived our first parents in the Garden of Eden when he said, "Reject God, believe me and you shall be gods." In my opinion, the evolutionary theory is Satan's greatest masterpiece!
THE RECAPITULATION THEORY AND ABORTION!
by Henry M. Morris
One of the most bizarre of the supposed evidences for organic evolution was popularized in the 19th century by the atheistic biologist Ernst Haeckel, who also headed Germany's infamous Monist League and soon became one of Germany's major ideologists for racism, nationalism, and imperialism's Daniel Gasman: The Scientific Origins of National Socialism: Social Darwinism in Ernst Haeckel and the German Monist League, published by American Elsevier, 1971, p. xvii).
This was the so-called biogenetic law, or the recapitulation theory, best known in terms of the textbook slogan; ONTOGENY RECAPITULATES PHYLOGENY, meaning the embryonic development of each growing embryo in the womb repeats the evolutionary development of its species. The HUMAN EMBRYO, for example, was said to begin life as a PROTOZOAN, then to go through a FISH STAGE (with gill slits) and a MONKEY STAGE (with a tail) before finally becoming a HUMAN BEING.
This absurd theory has long since been repudiated by competent biologists, even though it still crops up in some textbooks and Anti creationist polemics. Any lingering hope that it might be true should have been demolished by MODERN FETOSCOPY, which makes it possible to observe directly the unborn child through a tiny telescope inserted through the uterine wall." (Parents, October, 1979, p.50)
Dr. Sabine Schwabenthan goes on to say, "We now know, for instance, that man in his prenatal stages does not go through the complete evolution of life - from a primitive single cell - to a fishlike water creature to man. Today it is known that every step in the fetal development process is specifically human."
FOR A FALSE NOTION, HOWEVER, THE RECAPITULATION THEORY HAS HAD PROFOUND AND TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES. DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF PALEONTOLOGY, GEOLOGISTS FREQUENTLY USED IT AS A FRAMEWORK FOR PLACING THEIR FOSSILS (DESPITE THE COMPLETE ABSENCE OF ANY TRANSITIONAL FORMS) IN AN APPARENT EVOLUTIONARY SEQUENCE, AND THE RESULTING FOSSIL RECORD, HAS BEEN USED EVER SINCE AS THE MAIN PROOF OF EVOLUTION.
Also, as Harvard's Stephen Jay Gould has pointed out: "Recapitulation provided a convenient focus for the pervasive racism of white scientists: they looked to the activities of their own children for comparison with normal, adult behaviour in lower races; (Natural History, April, 1980, p. 144).
According to Gould, the term mongoloid; was first applied to the victims of Downs Syndrome becauseit was then commonly believed that the Mongoloid race had not yet evolved to the status of the Caucasian race. Similarly, Henry Fairfield Osborn, the leading American paleontologist of the first half of the 20th century, argued:
THE NEGROID STOCK IS EVEN MORE ANCIENT THAN THE CAUCASIAN AND MONGOLIAN...THE STANDARD OF INTELLIGENCE OF THE AVERAGE ADULT NEGRO IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE 11-YEAR-OLD YOUTH OF THE SPECIES HOMO SAPIENS. (Natural History, January/February, 1926; reprinted in Natural History, April, 1980, p. 129)
But all these tragic results of this false theory are dwarfed by the painful murders of millions of unborn children through abortion. The only possible rationalization for these atrocities is the standard argument that the unborn fetus is not yet really a human being at all, a widespread belief that is based on the evolutionary philosophy in general and the recapitulation theory in particular (see, The Averted Gaze: Liberalism and Fetal Pain, by Joseph Sobran in The Human Life Review, Spring, 1984, for a cogent exposition of this background).
After all, it is not considered murder to kill mere animals. Ideas do have consequences, and false ideas can have tragic and lethal consequences. The slogan ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny; is not only a curious but discredited slogan of the past. It is also the root of a tree bearing deadly fruit in the present.
