Utmost Arrogance

Today's evolutionists are so full of "knowledge" and "wisdom" that they think anyone who doesn't follow their belief is ignorant, stupid, and has just arrived from the deepest backwoods on a turnip truck. If not for the fact that they are so sadly mistaken and their current beliefs will lead them to an eternal damnation, their "facts" would be downright laughable.

A recent article in ICR's July Acts & Facts wrote about just such arrogance. Many of today's prominent evolutionists have debated several well-educated creationists and have lost the debate. However, they still insist on following their dead-end way of thinking and even resort to name-calling and smear-tactics. Stephen Gould was a well-known evolutionists who refused several times to debate a creationist. Why? If his theory was sound, what better way to prove it by the evidence? He wrote in his last book about "the scourge of creationism" all the while including all the same old, tired arguments for evolution without offering one shred of irrefutable evidence to back his claims. Dr. Massimo Pigliucci did debate Dr. Duane Gish many times and lost each one. But instead of really trying to understand the concepts and ideas supported by overwhelming evidence, he cries over the fact that "many Americans are still enchanted with dinosaurs such as John Morris and Duane Gish of the oxymoronically named Institute for Creation Research." And Ernst Mayr declared that "every knowing person agrees that man is descended from the apes." Wow! Really? I consider myself fairly knowledgable on the subject and certainly hold to no such falsehood. Where do they come up with such "facts"? All they can come up with for "proof" is nothing more than far-fetched ideas and poppycock.

Another area in which evolutionists show their stubborn arrogance is in the area of education. Eugenie Scott, Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, lives by her motto of "defending the teaching of evolution in public schools" and diligently strives to maintain the teaching of "evolution in the science classroom" while keeping "creationism out." She boldly tells school board members that they must totally discard any of their policies that would put a question in the minds of the students about the validity of the evolutionary theory, lends herself as an "expert" witness in court cases involving creation, and demands that all scientific insitutes actively and purposefully seek out scientists that do not hold to her idea that evolution is the gospel and get rid of them as soon as possible. Why? According to several Gallup polls, most Americans hold no candle to the ideas of Charles Darwin. Since the average American can see the giant holes in the theory, it appears to me that she's running scared. She knows that her precious theory is a leaking sponge and is desperately trying to plug the holes without examining the hard evidence.

Unfortunately, Dr. Scott and the others are just some of many such evolutionary-minded people that are actively promoting evolution as the gospel. Yes, that's right. They treat their precious theory as the gospel and seek to convert as many people as they can to their religion. Most of them claim to be atheistic; however, they, in truth, do worship their god of education and, ultimately, themselves. They believe that humans are the be-all-end-all. According to them, nothing is greater than the minds of humans and humans will be able to control all their collective destinies. How arrogantly foolish it is that they refuse to allow the reasonable comparison of scientific knowledge and let each person come up with their own conclusions to the origins of life. They know that their theory would not stand up to such scrutiny and resort to force and deceit to accomplish their goal of leaving God out of every aspect of our lives.
