EVOLUTION: THE GREAT DECEPTION?

W.R. Thompson, one-time director of the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control, in Ottawa, Canada, wrote concerning evolution: "As we know, there is a great divergence of opinion among biologists, not only about the causes of evolution, but even about the actual process."

If, as the scientific community has revealed, real science is observable, testable and repeatable, then why does the theory of evolution seem to be so widely accepted as well-documented scientific fact when it has failed time-honored standards set by those in the scientific arena? Certainly, disbelief in the one true God is the main reason this godless theory appeals to those who reject the awesome abilities of our Creator, but another contributing factor in the staying power of man's presumed evolution from monkey is the manner in which Darwin's theory is taught.

In American laboratory magazine, one biochemist offered his views on this issue: "The child is not presented with evolution as a theory. Subtle statements are made in science texts as early as the second grade. Evolution is presented as reality, not as a concept that can be questioned. The authority of the educational system then compels belief."

When a young scientist reaches college, he is subtly indoctrinated with evolutionary thought. If he desires to work with "the great men of science" he must put aside his religious views and adhere to the 'gospel' of Darwin. Still, the division which evolution has caused in the scientific arena is undeniable. Physicist H. S. Lipson had this to say: "The only acceptable explanation is creation. I know this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it." Astronomer Robert Jastrow also stated: "Scientists have no proof that life was not the result of an act of creation."

Take the Grand Canyon for example. Evolutionists support the notion that the massive canyon began millions of years ago as a tiny stream which eventually eroded its way deep into rock. The fairly recent eruption of Mt. St. Helen's has caused many scientists to rethink this evolution-based theory since the eruption proved that various land formations as valleys and canyons can be formed in a matter of minutes or hours, not the millions of years evolutionists insist are always necessary to create these wonders of nature.

Throughout the Scriptures we are warned about teachings that will undermine the foundation of our faith in God and His word (Colossians 2:8, II Corinthians 12:3-4). The implication of man's evolution, from monkey, with no cause or purpose, leaves one feeling that life has no real meaning; therefore, it should be lived for the moment... pleasing only the desires of the flesh with no thought of moral consequence.

Satan is a deceiver... just as he tricked Eve with a lie in the garden of Eden, he will also use his subtle methods to fool us into taking our minds off God (II Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 6:12). Based on the evidence, it certainly seems Satan is utilizing the theory of evolution to deceive many.
