Bone of contention

Despite your continual mockery, we love you and will continue to warn you, right up until the day you die. Then it will be too late. But you can’t say that we didn’t try.

I won’t be posting for a week or so because I will be in New Zealand. While there I will be at a university debating on the subject of evolution (Wednesday 18 March, 12:30-1.30pm at Ngaio Marsh Theatre, Canterbury University).

Here is my outline:

1. An atheist is someone who believes nothing created everything. If he denies that and believes that “something” created everything, he’s not an atheist.

2. Man can't create a grain of sand from nothing. How intellectually dishonest is it then to say that there was no Intelligent Designer?

3. Where did females come from (in every species)?

4. Which came first? The blood, the heart or the blood vessels?

5. There are variations within species, but no species to species transitional forms in the fossil record.

6. God made Archaeopteryx with teeth and a tail. It’s a bird, not a dinosaur. He made many weird animals. There's a huge mouse with a pocket in its front that hops all over Australia, horses with stripes, weird desert animals with humps on their backs . . . and He made some birds with teeth.

7. Paleontologists have a huge incentive to twist the truth, just a little. If they can find a bone with a lump on it, theorize that it was a limb or a feather, give it an impressive name, say it is 73 million years old, and suddenly he has his picture on the cover of National Geographic magazine, has a book deal and lectures for life. The human propensity to gullibility is evidenced by evolution's many believers. Malcolm Muggeridge: "I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution . . . will be one of the great jokes in the history books in the future." Evolutionists have done to science, what hypocrites have done to religion. We have men who call themselves scientists, when they should have instead got a job with Disney as imagineers.

I will be back in a week or so, God-willing.
