Creationism will not go away

The Biblical teaching on Creation has been scientifically proved (http://www.ansersingenesis.org/) and all true Christians uphold the Bible's teachings on this matter.

However, because the Dept for Education are so backward they do not allow Creationism to be taught in the science lesson - this has been the case for years. The problem for evolutionists is that those who believe the truth in this matter are amassing so much evidence they are winning many people over to the Biblical teaching. Consequently a number of leading evolutionists are beginning to get extremely worried and they have set up a web site intended to pressurise the government to continue their preposterous policy of keeping the truth out of the school science lessons.

One of the poor creatures who have added support to this venture is the arch evolutionist - David Attenborough. This man has attempted to brainwash millions of people into believing the evolution fraud by his TV programmes. No doubt he is pleased with himself and likes to have his name linked with this error - but he will have to account to a Holy God for his wickedness. My hope and prayer is that he will yet repent and accept Jesus as His personal Saviour before he dies and faces God.

But what has actually been the result of a rampant evolutionism and rejection of the Bible's truth on this matter? - in a word CHAOS ! Over the years since this fraud was first foisted onto the public there have been huge increases in crime and anti-social behaviour. Moreover, discipline in schools has broken down, criminal activity and extreme behaviour among the young has increased exponentially. There has also been a massive increase in fornication, adultery and homosexual perversion. The reason for this is simple - if you teach people they come from animals then they will behave like animals; but if you teach people that they were made in God's image then there is a much greater likelihood that they will behave like responsible citizens.

The question remains - will Creationists go away? Will we simply roll over and die? The answer is a resounding NO! The truth of the Bible has stood, and will continue to stand for all time and we will not be silenced. Those of us who hold to the undisputed truth in this matter will continue to preach the Gospel as man's only hope and we will promote the truth of God's infallible Word - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" Genesis 1 v 1

The spitefulness of the NSS

We are often told by secular groups such as the National Secular Society that Christians have nothing to fear from a secular state and that our religious liberties would be protected. However, such assurances have a hollow ring when one considers the following: Woking Council allow church worshippers to park free of charge on Sunday morning. The council obviously feel that in the interests of fairness and tolerance it does no harm to grant this concession; moreover, it helps to foster good relations within the community. The scheme has been working very well, no-one is being harmed and everybody is happy. Everybody, it seems, except the NSS. Their president, one Terry Sanderson, has written to Woking Council to complain about this act of kindness on their part and warn them that it is likely to be illegal.

This kind of petty-minded spitefulness is typical of militant secularists; they cannot bear the thought that Christians are getting help and assistance. These people are wolves in sheep's clothing. They promise liberty and equality but only for those who are not Christians. It seems that Christians are at the bottom of the pile when it comes to Human Rights.

The question that goes through my mind is this: "Why do the likes of the NSS despise Christians so much?" After all, we are peaceable people who seek to be law-abiding and not cause trouble for others. We seek to uphold Jesus' command to love others and do good to them. The answer to my question is simple - the NSS despise Christians because the devil has blinded and enslaved them. The devil has stirred up opponents of the Gospel to make things difficult for Christians. But why make things so difficult for Christians when other groups seem to get extra benefits and concessions? Again the answer is simple - because the Christian Gospel presents to people the only way whereby souls can be saved. Jesus is the only way to Heaven and His death the only payment for sin that God accepts. Moreover, His resurrection proves that His claims (to be the Son of God and our Saviour) are valid and trustworthy.

What should be our attitude to people like Terry Sanderson and groups like the NSS? We should obey the words of Jesus when He said "Pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5 v 44). Let us unite in prayer for Mr Sanderson and his ilk - that God, in His mercy, might be pleased "to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light" - Acts 26 v 18.

The evidence of a changed life

We are often told by atheists that there is no evidence that God exists and that we cannot see Him. These same people will believe in the existence of hurricanes even though you can't see the hurricane; this is because you can see the effects that they have (uprooted trees etc).

In a similar way, even though we cannot see God we can witness the effects of the Christian Gospel in people's lives. One example of this is the life of Brian Morris. He was arrested by armed Police in the mid-1990s and found in possession of a huge amount of drugs. He was subsequently sent to prison. However, while inside he found God. After coming out of prison he continued to progress in the Christian life and has now been appointed as a Baptist minister in Wales.

Humanly speaking, his life was a complete and utter mess; he was a waster who had ruined his own life and, through drug dealing, the lives of others. However, God had other ideas and worked a wonderful transformation in his life.

If our atheist friends are prepared to believe in the existence of hurricanes because they can see their effects then why don't they believe in the existence of God when the effects of the Gospel are plainly obvious for all to see? The answer is simple - there are none so blind as those who don't wish to see. To put it another way - "a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still".

The devil has blinded these poor creatures to the existence of God, the truths of the Gospel and the reality of Hell.

Moreover, they are not content to simply disbelieve the Gospel (and unbelief in itself is enough to put someone in Hell) but they go on a crusade against God by writing articles and even books seeking to disprove His existence. One wonders what motivates these poor unfortunates to behave the way they do. They clearly have a passion to spend their lives in a vain attempt to convince others of the non-existence of God. Deep down they know God exists because, as the Bible teaches, He has written eternity on their hearts. However, they plunge ever deeper in the morass of blind unbelief and make themselves bitter and twisted in the process.

The ultimate tragedy is, that after wasting their lives in this manner, they will find that God does exist, they will stand before Him, and they will face the flames of an eternal Hell. These flames will be the hotter for their evil activity.

One can only hope that God in His mercy will be pleased to open their eyes, and grant them repentance unto life - for their sake.
