“A Clear and Present Danger!” (Related to Whom? !) Romans 1: 18 -25
Dover, PA, November 2005, 8 out of 9 school board members were voted out. It would have been 9, but only 8 were up for reelection. What did these board members do? …
Going to go so far as to suggest that the teaching of evolution is a clear and present danger – a danger threatening the very fiber of the home/family.
Michael Newdow Sandra Banning Let’s quit fighting it. Let’s give in and go ahead and let the evolutionists have their way. By doing so we’ll be more loving, tolerant, and attractive… Do you want to understand your atheist neighbor? … Do you want to understand Michael Newdow? … Maybe this will do it…
“Religion is the opiate of the masses…” Karl Marx
For the first time in history, theory that was spoken only in secret became published and was quickly embraced.
Purpose: to realize how significant it is to be related to our Creator and not to the created
I NO GOD A. Truth Does Not Matter
If the first part of the Bible (e. g. Genesis 111) is not true then the rest of the Bible should be held in question…
I NO GOD A. Truth Does Not Matter B. God Does Not Care
Hebrews 1: 3 “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word…”
II NO DISTINCTION A. We’re All Animals
protozoa Evolution teaches, like the Bible, we all came from one source… kinda! Sometime after the Big Bang, somehow, water formed a kind of primeval soup…
II NO DISTINCTION A. We’re All Animals B. Bible’s Distinction
For give my skepticism but having had two teenagers in a house at the same time, their bedrooms proved…
“The Monkey's Disgrace” “Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree Discussing things as they're said to be; Said one to the others, now listen, you two, There's a certain rumor that can't be true: That man descended from our noble race, The very idea is a disgrace! No monkey ever deserted his wife Starved her babies and ruined her life; And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk, Or pass them on from one to another, 'Til they scarcely know who is their mother.
And another thing you'll never see; A monkey build a fence 'round a coconut tree And let the coconuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monkeys to taste. Why, if I put a fence around a tree, Starvation would force you to steal from me. Here's another thing a monkey won't do; Go out at night and get in a stew, Or use a gun or club or knife To take some other monkey's life. Yes, man descended, the onery cuss! But, brother, he didn't descend from us. ”
III NO AUTHORITY A. Survival of the Fittest
Friedrich Nietzsche First to coin the phrase “God is Dead”… wrote: “Life itself is will to power; selfpreservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent results. ”
It comes down to who has the biggest teeth, the sharpest claws and the best technology… Never Give Up!
1000 turtles hatch on the beach. Weak can’t eat so they starve. Slow can’t escape, so they get eaten… Strong rule…
III NO AUTHORITY A. Survival of the Fittest B. Ultimate Authority
God completely on His own, created all from absolutely nothing…
IV NO MORALITY A. Created With “Oughtness”
Romans 15: 1 “We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. ”
1 Corinthians 11: 28 “A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. ”
IV NO MORALITY A. Created With “Oughtness” B. Evolution and Morals

Summary and Conclusion: Every evolution-believing person has to accept most of what he/she believes without first-hand evidence. So, what requires more faith: an ever existing, all powerful, allencompassing God Who created everything, or an unexplainable mass of stuff that suddenly existed for no reason? …
Summary and Conclusion: 1. Do you really think the processes of natural selection should be applied to humans…? 2. Do you really think humans are nothing more than animals…? 3. Do you really think no one has the right to say you can’t do anything you want…? 4. Do your really think morals do not matter…?
C. S. Lewis “Do fish complain of the sea for being wet? Or if they did, would the fact not strongly suggest that they had not always been, or would not always be, purely aquatic creatures? If you are really a product of a material universe, how is it that you don’t feel at home there? ”
