       CREATION IS EVOLUTION

         Charles Darwin, the author of Origin of Species, {sixth edition Murray, London, 1882} is expounding a Theory.

THEORY: “Supposition explaining something, speculative view, (often implying fanciful), the sphere of speculated thought.”

We see, from the title, Charles is expressing a theory, an idea.

He is not claiming to prove, nor providing any evidence, to incontrovertibly vindicate his theory that all species evolved from one single source, through natural selection and occasional quantum leaps in accidental natural phenomena.

He does a great amount of postulating, and, in his introduction to the Origin, he states:

“This abstract which I now publish must necessarily be imperfect. I cannot here give references and authorities for my statements. I can only give the general conclusions at which I have arrived, with a few facts in illustration.”

Mr. Darwin declares he has no proof to support his theory, only a collection of ideas devoid of concrete evidence.

We emphasize this point because it is unwise, for any person, to base their belief systems on theories rather than documented evidence.

We tender here further quotes from Mr. Darwin, supporting our suggestion that he himself in no way suggests his theory is valid in the overall scheme of things.

“The scientist’s religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement, at the perfect harmony of natural law, which reveals intelligence of such superiority, that compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection” The World As I See It.

“The absence of transitional forms - between the species…presses hardly on my theory.”      

 “Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graded organic chain; this is the most obvious and gravest objection urged against my theory.” Origin of Species, vol.2 chpt.9

“Not one change of species into another is on record. We cannot prove that a single species has changed, (into another.) My Life and Letters. Vol.1, p.210

Our final quote from Mr. Darwin, for the moment:

“I imagine that probably all organic beings which ever lived on earth, descended from some primitive form, which was first called into life by the Creator.” After it’s Kind. (Nelson) P.15

We provide the quotes of Charles Darwin, the author and founder of the Theory of Evolution, that the reader may clearly identify the basis on which this whole façade is based.

It is built on a foundation of erroneous hypotheses, which are devoid of any incontrovertible evidence or argument.

Opponents of Creation will suggest those supporting this reality also have no indisputable evidence to support their beliefs.

This is a sadly petty argument and does no credit to scientists and scholars who propose it.

 Creationists have nothing to prove, we have sufficient logical evidence supporting our beliefs to avoid fear of being proven incorrect, just look around you, at what exists, that is all the proof needed.

Remember, it is Evolutionists who oppose creation; therefore the onus is on evolutionists to prove their point.

  Creationists have nothing to argue about; we know creation is truth, the fact that we exist in an incomprehensibly intricate and organized system of universes, let alone the intricate, mind boggling complexities of even the most basic atom proves our existence, therefore our creation, as we did not produce ourselves, did we?

 The number of scientists, palaeontologists, and anthropologists who have denigrated Darwin’s theory would fill many pages were we to quote them all.

Any serious scholar can easily find this information if they are open minded enough to look for it.

A reading of F.C. Payne’s work, “Seal of God”, (Aldis Printing, 1978), or reference to Ivan Panin’s works on Biblical mathematics will provide many references and mathematical evidences which exposes an impossibility of man’s creation being an evolutionary accident.

  God does not postulate, neither does He theorize, as Einstein said, “God doesn’t play dice,” He speaks; then what He says comes into manifestation over a predestined length of time.

He said, in Gen.1:3 “Let there be light: and there was light”

Note the colon between the command and the manifestation, the fulfilment of the command. A period, a space of time; it may have covered millions of years in our time, but then light came into existence as we perceive it.

From Gen.1:1-28 God speaks His mind, declares what He is planning to bring to pass, then He fulfils His Word by bringing what He spoke, expressed in His mind, into realization.

Thus we detect a Spoken Word Creation, which manifests over an undisclosed period of time, into what we, in our five sense domain, perceive.

In Gen.2:4-7 we find an interesting description of the world, after God created the beasts of the field, the herbs, trees, and man.

Vs.4 “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

Vs.5 and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew, etc.”

 This clearly exposes another period between the creation and the manifestation of the plants, beasts and man.

Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, defines our pre-existence, in God’s mind, before we manifested in the flesh in this place.

Eph.1:4 “According as He has chosen us in Him, before the foundation of the world…vs. 5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.”

The Bible is filled, from Genesis to Revelation with Election, Predestination, Foreknowledge; prophecies consistently fulfilled throughout history, and we suggest the reader research Darwin’s work to determine where he ever managed to equal God’s record of success.

 Nowhere in Origin of Species do we find such conviction, such surety of belief in Darwin’s postulations as we see in God’s faith in the manifestations of what He said coming to pass.

 God created the world over a period of six thousand years.

“One day with God is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”

2 Pet.3:8; showing that six days of creation is, in God’s declared time frame, six thousand years.

  God does not theorise about His actions, He manifests them, over His own prescribed timeframe.

 Could we suggest God created, in His mind, during those 6,000 years, what He later manifested in physical form, over millions or billions of years?

Eph.1:4 states we were “In Him before the foundation of the world.” But, though created, in Him, in His mind, we did not manifest ‘til our appointed time, now.

 This puts a different slant on our comprehension of Creation’s time span.

The Scriptures, prophecies of the Old Testament, the historic record of those prophecies being fulfilled, should clearly prove to any open minded student, that they describe the time over which God’s spoken plan of Creation comes to pass.

It is still manifesting today.

 There is, without doubt, evolution within individual species, brought about through environmental conditions, and this point is not contested. What is being refuted is the possibility of one species genetically altering sufficiently to produce an entirely separate species.

 Frogs do not become monkeys, dogs or people; chickens have not genetically evolved into eagles, jumbo jets or any form of mammal, though, within species, yes, there has been progressive evolution, according to environmental conditions.

It has not stopped since the beginning, but, we ponder, is it continuing today?

A fundamental flaw in the general attitude of the community to the Bible is that most people consider God’s Word in past or future tense, but rarely accept It in the present tense, as an ongoing process, a continuing fulfilment of God’s pre-spoken plans and prophecies now coming to pass.

 Darwin commonly tempts the readers of his work into a fantasy world where all flora and fauna has somehow altered its nature and characteristics by accidental, “accumulative selection.”

Is he implying that fauna and flora have a sufficiently high intellect to be able to control and alter their genetic make up without external input?

Darwin suggests species can, through un-controlled, natural selection; produce more suitable characteristics, a wider range of colours, to satisfy human requirements of evolution.

 Man has not been able to achieve this ability, so how did the other mammalian species, let alone the fish and birds, do so?

Surely all genetic changes in any specie of fauna or flora have been bought about through human cross fertilization, hybridisation, not conscious nor accidental determination of the plants or beasts.

 Mr. Darwin supports, through lack of alternatives, this point with references which occur regularly in his document of hypotheses. His theory consistently confuses the difference betwixt species and varieties within species.

 Varieties within a species have a common genetic link, though they, through natural cross-fertilization within their specie, may manifest different colours or other slight changes.

 From Darwin’s summary on “Variation under Nature” we quote,

“We see that it is the most flourishing species of the larger genre which, on average, yield the greatest number of varieties, and varieties, as we shall see hereafter, tend to become converted into new and distinct species.”

 How?

This is an area of evolutionary theory, which can cause some humour.

You might visualise a group of petunias, in the midst of a severe drought, holding a conference at Petunia Control.

Together debating the genetic changes they need manufacture in themselves, to produce drought resistance; or, in times of insect plagues, insect resistance, then sending genetic information through their communication system to alter all other petunias in their areas.

“O.K. Petunias, from this point forward we will produce thorns, develop insect repellents and grow legs to escape insects or mammals which eat us.”

 Darwin surmises that evolutionary changes will lead to the extermination of the predecessors in each species, as it evolves. That evolution will ensure the elimination of the specie, which exist prior, in that specific environment. Obviously sharks, crocodiles and a few other species did not get that data forwarded to them, as they have remained unchanged, as the cockroach, for thousands of years.

Is there any evidence to suggest we have a new species in its place or a variety, and why is there no evidence supporting the previous existence of either of these plants or animals?

Therefore, if one introduces petunias from a different environment, they will either, instantly curl up and die, or they will magically change their genetic make up that they may survive.

We continue the quote, “And thus, the forms of life throughout the universe become divided into groups subordinate to groups.”

Now, that really clears that up, doesn’t it?

Species: “Group subordinate in classification of genus and having members that differ only in minor details.”

This does not suggest these variations in any way effect the genetic make up of the specie. 

Another reference from Mr. Darwin’s work “Lastly, the mongrels from between all the breeds of the pigeon are perfectly fertile. Now hardly any cases have been ascertained with certainty of hybrids from two distinct species of animals being perfectly fertile.” Variation under Domestication. p.55

There is support to this statement in the documented regression of hybrid species to a primal condition within four generations.

 We may again ponder the application of Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection when we ponder whether all observed species variation or hybridisation is the result of human interference?

Moreover, where can he find justification for his theory when he describes the infertility common in any crossed species? The mule being a prime example that evolution is a fantasy.

Survival of the fittest is another giant leap in our comprehension of survival in this environment and is presented as of major import in each species survival technique.

 Again, it is interesting to observe the common usage of the words, probable, suppose, imaginary, in Darwin’s description of his theory.

This surely leaves little groundwork to support his hypothesis that all species are descendants from one original source.

It would be interesting to hear how evolutionists explain the crocodile, and the shark, both species which have continued, as far as can be determined, without genetic or evolutionary variation, since their creation.

 This principle would also apply to the human specie, which has existed in its current form for at least six thousand years.

For those people existing in the Arctic Circle, one would imagine, as Darwin suggests, that these would by now have reverted to very heavily haired bodies, much larger, wider and flatter feet and an ability to withstand extremes of cold without needing extra clothing or snow shoes with which to survive.

What evolutionary anomaly occurred that people living in very hot climates are black or dark skinned? Is this not contrary to all logic in the evolutionary scheme?

“Natural selection acts exclusively by the preservation and accumulation of variations which are beneficial under the conditions to which each creature is exposed.” {P. 91 Origin of Specie vol.6}

Another poignant expose of how this theory is vindicated.

 As has been stated previously, according to God’s record of creation, God created all animals and plants over a period of five thousand years, and on the sixth day He created man.

A point in need of clarification, in the Bible record of creation, is that there is an unfortunate gap in the evolutionary cycle between the beasts of the field and man. The “Missing Link”

The Bible explains how Eve was “beguiled”, seduced by the beast, Gen.3:1-6 and we find in 1Jn.3:12 that Cain, the first born son is spoken of as being “of the wicked one.”

Nowhere in the Scripture is Adam spoken of as being evil, nor is Cain ever identified as being Adam’s son, so who is his father?

Could it be that the Beast, who copulated with Eve, is the missing link betwixt man and animal?

A being, so high on God’s evolutionary chain, that he was capable of fertilizing Eve’s ovum, capable of hybridising the human specie?

 We know that sperm from no other specie would be capable of fertilizing a human egg; a creature, a beast, extremely close in God’s progressive chain of creation to human, would be the only genetic line capable of fertilizing Eve’s ovum.

No chimpanzee, no gorilla, no other ape could achieve such; therefore we need look for an alternative source, for this beast who was capable of fathering a child through Eve.

 Cain was human in most characteristics. He could talk, reason, hunt, and, later father children, mongrels, hybrids, through the daughters of Adam and Eve.

This being so we need further examine the Bible record so we can determine that what God said came to pass. HE was there, a witness to all that took place.

The Bible tells us the Beast was an upright creature, who could talk reason and was able, over a period of time, to establish a relationship of trust with Eve. Gen.3:1 “And he said unto the woman, yea, hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

A very smart snake you would no doubt agree. Has evolution resulted in snakes losing their ability to speak, to reason and to copulate with human females?

But let us persist; we then read that God confronts the serpent, who is identified in Rev.20:2 as the devil and the beast, talks with him and curses the serpent.

 Now, it may be foolish, but one must believe the serpent was an upright creature at this time, because the curse involves him being made crawl upon his belly. If that was his natural condition, at the time, it would not appear much of a curse.

 Again, there is no theorizing in this Biblical record, only a statement of facts.

Jewish Biblical commentaries on this matter suggest the beast copulated seven times with Eve (The Babylonian Talmud, Seder Nashim, translated into English under the editorship of Rabbi Dr. I Epstein, published by Sancto Press, of London, printed by Joh Enschede; Haarlem, Holland, 1936)

 This clearly exposes the ‘Missing Link’ of evolutionist theory, but, will you believe it?

We mentioned the logical extermination of older species as they evolve into new. We now address this matter and quote again from “Origin of Species”, p.92

 “On our theory the continued existence of lowly organisms offers no difficulty; for natural selection or the survival of the fittest does not necessarily include progressive development – it only takes advantage of such variations as arise and are beneficial to each creature.

And what advantage would it be to an infusorian animacule, an intestinal worm, or even an earthworm to be highly organized? If it were no advantage these forms would be left un-improved, or but little improved, and might remain for indefinite ages in their present lowly condition.

But to suppose that most of the existing low forms have not advanced since the first dawn of life would be extremely rash; for every naturalist who has dissected some of these beings now ranked as very low must have been struck with their wondrous and beautiful organisation”.

 Again we detect how lucidly this point is resolved, how clearly and cunningly Darwin avoids providing us with any indisputable evidence of from whence the earthworm came; who designed it’s wondrous and beautiful organisation.

We continue with this quote;

 “Looking at the first dawn of life, when all organic beings presented the simplest structure, how could the first steps in the differentiation of parts have arisen? As we have no facts to guide us, speculation on the subject is almost useless.

It is however an error to suppose that there would not have been a struggle for existence and consequently no natural selection until many forms had been produced: variations in a single species might be beneficial, and thus the whole mass of individuals might be modified.”

 Now, isn’t that a reassuring comment on the validity of Darwin’s theory.

At this point we will introduce another Biblical instruction and see if it is possible to develop a theory at least as plausible as Mr. Darwin’s.

In the Book of Genesis we find specific instructions regarding the propagation of each plant and each beast, especially applied to the human race.

We will quote from God’s Word; you may determine the relevance of these instructions. Gen.1:11,12,  “And God said, Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, after its kind: Gen.1:21, 24, 25;6:20, 7:14: Lev.11:-29 all point out the importance of singleness of seed. There is no thought or suggestion of hybridisation.

  We go a little further, dealing with the human specie.

 God, in a number of places, forbids Israel to cross breed;

HE instructs Israel to keep their racial line pure, not to hybridise their line, not to inter marry. This is a demand, from God, that Israel, and, by logic, the human specie, avoids hybridisation.

 We now find, through the hybridisation of our plants, the grains, crops that feed us, the meats, all manner of food being hybridised,  because it is a perverted food source, hybridised, it is incapable of re-production. It has no life.

Therefore, those who are eating these hybrid foods are actually getting no life from the foods, only bulk.

 This is an important factor in the overall deteriorating health of our communities.

It exposes why our societies now are over-eating, becoming more and more obese, while we are starving to death.

As a species we are becoming sicker, more perverse and inferior to any other generation.

 We, through the poor nutritional content of our foods, are now observing the horrific changes taking place in our selves, but, more tragically, in our children.

Remember, the life is in the seed. If the seed cannot reproduce itself it has no life. We are eating bulk that has artificial food value but is lifeless.

When we observe the continuing decline in the average standard of health in the community, we find ever increasingly powerful viruses, diseases developing, and an ever decreasing natural strength, in the human body to resist these assaults on our physical welfare.

We find cancer now to be amongst the world leaders in fatal attraction. Leading researchers suggest this will be overtaken by Sugar Diabetes as the leading world killer within the next two years.

One would suggest both of these diseases are the direct result of poor diets, continuous induction into the bodies of nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, as well the poisons manufactured and pressed upon the community by the multi national drug manufacturers and the medical profession.

The horrific expansion in the numbers of people needing psychiatric assistance, the numbers of broken families, the rapidly escalating violence in our society, every sickness, both socially, morally and psychiatrically can be directly linked to the deterioration in the nutritional content of our natural foods.

This we declare to be directly the result of the hybridisation and de-nutritionalizing of our foods through genetic engineering, hybridization.

We are what we eat.

If we fail to put high performance fuel in a high performance motor we find it will not perform to its capabilities, will be more likely to break down regularly and will become useless before its due date.

This same principle we need apply to all levels of our life.

 We suggest the human race is also, in the largest percentage of population, genetically reverting toward the point of the original hybridisation of our specie, back in the Garden, when Eve copulated with the Beast and hybridised our originally pure human with the seed of the Beast, producing; “natural, brute beasts, fitted for destruction.”

2 Pet.2:12; Jude 10

Our goal through this study is to provide some alternate thoughts on Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, to present some more diverse descriptions of where we came from, how we got here and where we are heading.

To close this short study we revert to the man who is responsible for this paper, Charles Darwin and his theory.

  We quote again from Origin of Species, the last paragraph, and encourage the reader to closely examine his or her confidence to place their faith in a study which in no way provides any indisputable evidence to support the theory, the flimsy foundation on which Darwin’s entire premise is based.

 “There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.”

Or, in simple terms, God started with the amoeba and kept creating, through a progressive evolution, ‘til He created man, then He stopped.

Interesting that there is nothing we know of that man has yet evolved into, and, according to the evolutionists, we have had plenty of time to do that, haven’t we.

In fact, if anything, it would seem man has devolved, degenerated, with each generation, into a more violent, selfish, destructive and ugly species.
Amen.
