Many of the Psalms in the Bible were written as early as the 15^th century B.C. One which particularly displays the human tendency toward the foolishness of atheism is Psalm Two, which says (verses 1-4, ESV):

            ¹Why do the nations rage

               and the peoples plot in vain?

            ² The kings of the earth set

               themselves,

            and the rulers take counsel

               together,

            against the Lord and his

               anointed, saying,

            ³"Let us burst their bonds apart

            and cast away their cords

               from us."

            ⁴He who sits in the heavens

               laughs;

            the Lord holds them in

               derision.

   Nowhere is such sentiment displayed more dramatically than in Darwinism, somewhat misnamed the ‘theory of evolution.’ Reporter Jeffrey Kluger of "Time" Magazine espouses Darwinism succinctly when he says "Organic chemicals needed eons of stirring and slow cooking before they could produce compounds that could begin to lead to a living thing." What?  Would a million monkeys stirring pots of dirt and water for a million years produce the incredibly complex cell of a plant or animal? What an amazing leap of faith! (Yes, Virginia, Darwinism truly is a religion.) About the only thing that Kluger’s sentiment proves is that "Time" Magazine should never be placed anywhere it might actually be read.

   Any proponent of Darwinism insists that it’s not a theory but THE way everything happened such that it appears as it does today. As a case in point, I served on the curriculum advisory committee for a highly-respected local school district for four years. My sole purpose was to attempt to prevent the district from purchasing new middle school and high school biology textbooks that trotted out the same old tired, unproven, and in many cases, ludicrous "proofs" of evolution. I battled and battled, demonstrating time and again that the so-called "evidence" for Darwinism is speculation, circular reasoning, and outright fraud. Several times during the years, I asked "What is one thing we know to be true about evolution?" and never received an answer. Alas, the committee was stacked 7-2, and the other lay person and I lost to the seven biology teachers, each of whom had been steeped in the "knowledge" that there is no God and therefore no intelligent designer/Creator. The unsuspecting 6^th-12^th graders in that school district today are being force-fed the same mindless codswallop that their teachers endured. Ironically, pre-Darwin students, who were not subjected to the Big Lie of evolution, were better educated in the origin and development of species than present generations.

   I raise this issue because of a recent article appearing in the online journal "Nature." It describes how genetic scientists, led by a (Doctor, I presume) Richard Wilson, Director of the Genome Center at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, has deciphered the entire genetic code of the platypus. Ah, what a noble effort! And what a magnificent scientific challenge! You see, the platypus is perhaps the most intriguing animal in existence. When a team of explorers sent the British naturalist George Shaw a deceased platypus from Australia in 1799, Shaw did what any skeptical scientist would do when confronted with a creature with mole’s fur, a duck’s bill, egg-laying gestation patterns, and venomous spurs on its hind legs: he looked for the glue and stitching that held such a preposterous fake together.

   But the platypus is the genuine article. It contains genes for egg laying, which Darwinian geneticists say are evidences of reptilian roots. It has mammalian genes for producing milk, despite the absence of nipples. The animal has genes for making snake venom, which it stores in its legs and uses for protection. And it has five times more sex-determining chromosomes than any other creature on earth.

   What to make of this odd creature, one which inhabits a truly isolated (read: unexplained and doesn’t fit the presuppositions) branch on the "evolutionary tree" that Darwinists use to graph their pet theory? Why, the answer is simple, according to Dr. Wilson. Rather than admitting that the platypus blows Darwinism right out of the water, let alone ascribing this unique animal to God’s creativity, he happily explains it by saying "the platypus genome offers an unprecedented glimpse of how evolution made its first stab at producing mammals…it shows how mammals learned to nurse their young, matched poisonous snakes at their own game, and struggled to build a system of fertilization and gestation that eventually would give rise to the first humans."

   Did you catch that? Evolution "making a stab"? Mammals "struggling to build a system"? This is too funny. The first principle of Darwinism is purposelessness ! In Darwinism, everything is the result of mindless, purposeless, random mutations which prove useful and form a basis for the next level of mindless, purposeless…you get the idea. So what is this "evolution making a stab" thing? Mammals sitting around discussing their "struggle to build a system." Do you mean purpose, Dr. Wilson? Does evolution have a mind, a plan, a goal? Because if that’s the case, your entire theory is hogwash !

   It must be agonizing to be a liberal when you’re caught with your intellectual pants down. Oh, how the Lord must be laughing!
