                                                                INTRODUCTION

Is The West, And America In Particular, In Decline ? 

If it was possible for someone who existed a century or so ago in this part of the world to return today, they would be appalled by the radical sociological changes that have occurred - especially in the last 40 or 50 years. If they were a student of history, they would see striking similarities when comparing our modern society with that of the Roman Empire, or with any other world dominating empire for that matter, just prior to their demise.  They all had pronounced periods of gradual decline before their eventual implosion. In spite of the fact that there are numerous and diverse theories as to why this happened, there are some common factors relating them all. 


Western society, the US and Europe in particular, if one considers them to be a type of  empire, are going through the same stages of rot.  Widespread terrorism was occurring throughout the empire. Taxation was unreasonable then as it is now, placing unnecessary encumbrances on the economy. The family unit, the basis of a strong society, was crumbling.   Homosexuality was rampant from the very top right down to the bottom of society. This sexually defined group flaunted their perversions especially at public bath houses. Today they celebrate it with their "gay pride" parades. The tail wagged the dog then as it does now. The birth rate then was less than what was required to replenish the population.  People were not willing to sacrifice for their future offspring. They became selfish. Sports became an obsession. Human life was very cheap. Abortion was rampant. The original culture which gave rise to their  ascendancy was diluted by numerous incompatible beliefs from strange cultures. All of these signs exist in America, and in the West in general today. An additional contributing factor at present is the dilution of the once-strong Christian influence in society. It is now a mere shadow of what it once was. 


 In more than one way the returning folk would not recognize this present place when comparing it to what it was like a century, or even a half century ago. I credit the spread of the general acceptance and belief in the Theory of Evolution as a major factor in our current slide into chaos. This theory has caused human life to be greatly devalued today. Consequently suicide is common, especially among the youth. The religion of Evolution-ism, and yes it is also a religion, encourages narcissism in society. Thereby the  acknowledge-ment of the sovereignty of God decreases; being replaced by the sovereignty of man. Unbridled power reigns, even in so-called democracies. Society has no roots.

I also credit the decline in the influence of the Bible to this demonic theory. This change in particular has served like a lubricant, greatly accelerating the rate of decline.    

 I have been on this earth long enough to have been able to observe our culture over a period of at least seven decades. I have also observed and read about the generation that preceded mine. I accept that they were not perfect, but they were willing to sacrifice, even their lives, for the wellbeing of their offspring. My life observations point to a definite downward slide into moral amorphism. 


Some More Radical Changes That Characterize This Generation 

One doesn't have to be a genius to predict that these radical changes that are occurring in our society, that anyone can observe,  do not bode well for our future, and especially for the future of our offspring. Many paradigm shifts are occurring. What once was obviously right not very long ago has now become wrong. What was once considered to be wrong is now right. Anomalies are now the norm. Lies are the now truth, and what once was truth is now a lie (not that the truth can ever change). Villains are now heroes  and heroes are now villains.  Common sense is no more. For example; Who would have thought that the obviously perverse homosexual life style would be "celebrated"? Who would have thought that abortion would become a right - the right of a woman over "her own body"?  That isn't even logical. Who would have thought that marriage would no longer be considered to be the exclusive union of one man and one woman?  Every new day brings on more repulsive anomalies. 


Does More Knowledge Necessarily Mean More Wisdom?  

Beware! Pandora's Box is now wide open. Why not polygamy? Why not bestiality? Why not a threesome marriage. A recent news article indicates that a man in a particular state  of America now has the right to marry his son (HL). Not long ago there was also a similar news report of a woman somewhere else in the USA marrying her daughter. Why not euthanasia? Why not kill the handicapped? After all, if we are mere animals, there are no predetermined bounds to our existence. Have you heard about a new group called the Furries (HL)? In another few years they will probably be teaching your kids; that is if you decide to leave them in the public school system. Narcissistic man is now his own god.  This proud generation believes that it has more "wisdom" than what the previous generations had accumulated over thousands of years. Wrong! They have become utter fools. It is indisputable that they have more knowledge, but knowledge without wisdom is like an automobile with no steering wheel or breaks. Our society is "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Timothy 3:7 (HL)).  The Bible predicted this would be a sign of the very last days (Daniel 12: 4 (HL)).  

This present world is crazy and hell bent for destruction and for God's judgement. Complete and utter Godless left-wing imbeciles, who usually are also evolutionists,  are now in control in the highest echelons of power - from our universities right down to our public schools, and even to our Day Care Centres. The current Democratic National Convention is a display of all of America's weirdos, from the top down. I have never seen such an anomalous group of rebels in one place at one time. The media in general is also part of their dissemination system. 


Modern Day Inquisitions

Years ago the Catholic Church imposed their various harsh inquisitions against the common people. (Please don't make the mistake, as the media is always doing, of equating Catholicism with true Christianity.) If anyone dared to speak or even to think against the existing religious paradigms of that day, they were labelled a heretic, and could possibly be burned at the stake or even drowned. Ironically, they always  used bloodless execution methods on what they perceived as heretics. Today, regardless of one's education, a person can be a candidate for the same kind of discrimination, albeit more subtle, if they have the audacity to even think differently than the majority of the "sheeple" in our media-fed "progressive" society. For example, creationists are considered by the intellectually elite to be akin to flat earthers. One had better keep their conservative religious views to themselves in this regard, or they will probably not get employment anywhere in public education - all the way from our elementary schools to our universities. Even worse than this, if anyone has the audacity to disagree with the "gay" lifestyle, they are considered to be a relic of the past, a pariah, and in danger of the tribunal. Of course it is taken for granted by these same elites that a woman has the right to snuff out the life of her unborn child  for any and every reason. One is even frowned upon if they use the term unborn child instead of the inhuman term foetus. Somehow abortion is perceived by feminists as "a right over her own body". It is to feminists like a sacrament.

History, you see, has a way of repeating itself. And I haven't even mentioned the religious discrimination today against anyone who has the nerve to say that Jesus Christ is the only way of obtaining salvation from sin, and that the Bible is God's inspired Word. Even the concept of sin is repugnant to modern day evolution-inspired "progressives". Mark my words. This will be the object of  the next vendetta by the globalist illuminati of today. It is on the horizon. This particular one will put believers right off of the politically correct scale. 

Of course the impetus for all of this rebellion is none other than the chief rebel of all - the prince of the power of the air - Satan himself. Unbeknown to most people, he is the chief puppeteer behind the scenes - pulling all of the strings. He is the one who challenged God's Word right at the beginning by saying, "Did God say ...?"  One of his primary corrupting tools today is  the Evolutionary World View. 



The Evolutionary World View Is Like A Malignant Cancer On The Body Of Modern Society: 

Little do the majority of believers even realize that there is no facet of their lives that this false "theory" has not negatively touched; nor do they understand the enormous potential that it has to detrimentally affect them and their families in the future. The central issue that I am referring to, of course, is the all encompassing Evolutionary World View, which is based on the false foundation that Darwin built.  As you will see, it is not a harmless benign philosophy. Far from it!  It is like a malignant cancer that has metastasized  to every corner and to every facet of our world, and we have not yet seen the full ramifications of its evil fruit. As I have already written, the media and the government-run tax-funded public education system, from kindergarten to grade twelve and beyond, have become its dissemination  system. No public school, no matter how exceptional you may think that it is, is immune from it - even if it has a few Christian teachers.

On October 1/15 a young man committed a horrible crime in a community college in rural Oregon (HL). This man summarily executed students who admitted that they were Christians. Just before he shot them in the head, he callously told them that they would meet their God in the next second. Where could hate like this come from? I am sure that it comes, at least in part, from the teaching of the godless evolutionary world view - starting in our high schools. It also is part of the legacy of this atheistic philosophy. 

This summary will particularly  focus on the disastrous effects of the Evolutionary World View on modern public education (HL), and thereby on society at large. To a lesser extent it will also examine some major evolution-motivated events in past history, along with some ominous future events,  with this ubiquitous philosophy in mind.  As you will see, there is much that can be credited to its rancid weed-producing seeds. What evolution-inspired future changes in society can we foresee that will affect our precious children and our grandchildren as we endeavour to look through the lens of this evil paradigm - especially if we take the enormous risk of leaving them in the public government education system?  Do these inevitable changes portend well for them and for the human race in general?  If you think so, then you are living in a dream world.


 Is This Where The Human Race Is Headed? 

Please bare with me as I briefly jump ahead into the future. A pertinent example of what can, and more than likely is already taking place, consider the following: Man, in his vast "wisdom",  is already in the process of trying to redesign himself to become an immortal genderless super-intelligent human-animal hybrid - a cyborg (HL). [Genetic manipulation is not just limited to the Monsanto Corporation's experimentation on food grains.] Consequently he/it will no longer be considered human. He will thence be called trans-human (HL)  or post-human. In the light of evolutionary theory, does this really surprise you? Is it not just a natural extrapolation of the evolutionary process? There is even a discussion underway among futurists to determine how human rights will apply to  human-animal hybrids. What percent human will make one eligible? If you think that legislation is unnecessarily complex now, just wait till then. Your mother-in-law may end up being a donkey. Seriously, I am glad that I probably won't be around at that time, but I fear for my children and for my precious grandchildren. It is my fervent hope that Christ will have returned for them long before those events, if in fact He allows them to even proceed.  

Man is back again to building a modern Tower of Babel - to usurp God. Scientists are even talking about downloading what they believe to be the essence of individual humans (HL), their consciousness, into computers so that they can live forever. I kid you not! This is impossible! These futurist experimenters have forgotten about the human soul/spirit. This is what differentiates us from the animal kingdom. Thereby soul-less monsters will be created, that is, if God permits it  Will this be a good development in the history of the world?  Is this the "brave new world" that the next generation can look forward to? Thinking about it gives me the shivers. I can now see how the prophesies in the Book of Revelation will come to pass. Evolutionists claim that it is a significant example of  man-directed, supposed  intelligent, evolution in action. Scientists, connected with the military (HL) in particular, are already in the process of doing diabolical experiments of this nature in secretive labs around the world. Do a bit of research on your own on this topic. They desire to produce a fearless super soldier. This is the arms race of the future.  It is actually underway as I write.

All world views have roots, or an origin. This new one comes out of Darwin's diabolical "Theory" of evolution.


Where Have You Placed Your Hope? 

There is no doubt that  society will thereby soon undergo some radical and unprecedented  transformations; all inspired by the  Atheistic  Evolutionary World View. Do you put your trust in those who are at the forefront of this revolution? I sure do not! I have lived long enough to see what "enlightened" men are capable of doing. Any radical discoveries that they come up with will engender more harm than good. Man's problem is not with his head; it's within his heart. The heart directs the head. It is from there that the problem stems. A depraved human heart will never produce any long-lasting positive philosophy that will  benefit mankind.

See Jeremiah 17:9: 

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

My hope is that  the Lord Jesus Christ will return to this earth prior to the full bloom of these Frankenstein-like scenarios. I have come to believe however, that believers in Christ may have to witness  some of these horrors firsthand before they are removed from this earth to a better place. 


                EVOLUTION-INSPIRED SECULAR VS CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

If you are Bible‐believing a Christian parent, or grandparent, and you still have children or grand-children in the public/government schools, then you should pay particular close attention to this modern religious belief system, because the evolutionary paradigm has especially permeated modern public education from top to bottom in the last half century or so; and it is not about to be dethroned. Is it even worth the risk? Do you trust the people who are in control of your impressionable children? They spend much more quality time with them than you do. 

I was talking to a young man recently who told me that he wanted to teach children in the lower grades of public elementary school. When asked why he wanted to do so, he said that he liked the fact that they unquestioningly believed everything that he said. This is scary.  Why not remove them permanently from this rotten system altogether and educate them at home, rather than debriefing them after every school day. Make the sacrifice. It will be well worth it. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 15: 33 that  "evil communications corrupt good manners." 


Can The Children Of Christian Parents Be Salt And Light In The Public School System? 

Many believe that we shouldn't shelter our children from the world in their formative years. They will suffer, they say. Let them go! Expose them to the public school system in order to see how the  99% live. Let them be salt and light! I strongly disagree with this view. This is not biblical.  The real source of having such an attitude may actually be "Christian pragmatism".  Some parents do it because it is convenient at the moment, and then they try to find a scriptural basis for their decision later.  Is the real motivation the fact that the parents want all of the amenities of our materialistic society achieved by both mom and dad having their own careers with big salaries? They are thereby taking an enormous risk with the little ones that God has placed in their care - especially in today's amoral/immoral society. The Scriptures strongly exhort Christian parents, not proxies, to train up a child in the way that he should go.  Take a few minutes to peruse the following list (HL) of perverted  public school teachers if you want a good reason to reconsider leaving your child in the public education system - and this is only an old  partial list of American females caught in the act. Here is an abbreviated list of Canadian teachers (HL) who were caught doing likewise. Every day reveals new horrors of this type. Please don't give me the spiel that they are going to an exceptional school. They still have to teach the same "progressive" curriculum. This will definitely be the case in America if Common Core Curriculum is implemented. I have seen the system from the inside for forty years!  Believe me! I just about lost one of my daughters to this system. Even though we may think that some public schools are safe for our children, they are all attached to the same rotten root. This is especially true of high schools. The common rotten is the Evolutionary World View.  


Humanist-based religions are taught in our public schools. 

Don't kid yourself. There is even a diabolical "religion of evolutionism" at the heart of the following innocent sounding movements which are all part of public education. They are all at war with biblical Christian faith -  The Green Revolution, Global Climate Change, Global Disruption, Environmental this and Environmental that or whatever it has evolved to by the time that you read this, with its worship of "Mother Earth". They are all intertwined. Even the names that they give to these things constantly evolve. They have a way of going from the fringe to the mainstream very fast. Those at the forefront of this movement (Bill Gates, Ted Turner, et al.)  have as a goal to reduce the world's population to a small fraction of what it is now (HL). I wonder who will do the culling? And how? Possibly using vaccines?  Who do these elites think that they are? Is a person who invented a computer system in his garage necessarily qualified to advise the world about who should be permitted to live or not in  a future "utopia"? These billionaires are making the big mistake of equating enormous wealth with wisdom. The two do not automatically go together, as they did with King Solomon. The Bible says that they are the epitome of fools (HL). As I have previously said, modern public education is the disseminating system for this new evolution-inspired green world view. You should be very wary about these media-generated U.N.-supported fads because your child’s focus of worship, if you take the enormous chance to leave them in the system,  is at stake. The androgynous anti-Christian evolutionary   World View has even weaseled it's way into children's elementary educational materials, appearing so innocent and innocuous.  In addition to this, hasn't the UN  recently declared that the earth:  bugs, trees, and plants have rights that are on a par with human rights  (HL) and maybe even higher? Is this scriptural? Should our children be taught to worship the creature rather than the Creator?  
 

Again I Ask: Is It Wise For Believers To Leave Their Children In Our Public Schools? 

The above-mentioned propaganda, if you unwisely choose to allow your children to be indoctrinated by our public schools and day care centers, especially at a very impressionable age, will bear rotten fruit later in life. It is inevitable. You reap what you sow. Today the above-mentioned influence is being  compounded with numerous other social changes, even in the church,  such as such as the widespread acceptance of divorce, common law relationships, the softening of their attitude towards same-sex unions, the abandonment by Christian dads of their  God-given roles as family leaders and teachers, and believing mothers neglecting their God-given roles as keepers at home as they pursue their own careers (ouch!) - allowing surrogates to do what they should be doing.


Christian youth are leaving the church in droves, and we wonder why. 

All  of these  have been significant factors in bringing about a pronounced departure by the new generation from the church, and even more importantly, from the fundamentals of our precious faith.  They are "ripe for the picking". No longer are they interested in grounding their beliefs in Scripture. Many of their parents didn't do this. Why should they? They didn't take the time for such an undertaking. They have become pragmatists. Is it any wonder that some surveys suggest that anywhere from 80% to 90% of children brought up in Christian homes no longer practice their faith once they leave home?  This is tragic!  It is time that we did some soul searching. Our precious children's beliefs are being replaced by false Evolutionism-inspired religious denominations like Materialism, Emergentism, Atheism, Hedonism, Environmentalism, Universalism, Tolerationism and Globalism; to name but a few. 


The public school system once served a useful purpose. 

I am convinced that the evolution-inspired world view, which has spawned all of the above and even more,  has also become a prime influence in the rapid disintegration of  just about every aspect of our once-useful and practical modern public school system, and thereby, also of our society. It is one of its many evil legacies. At one time public schools served a good practical purpose, and were relatively wholesome. They were locally run and responded to local needs.  The system has now "evolved" into a huge daycare centre for toddlers right up to teenagers. In these places, children are indoctrinated. They are not taught to think for themselves. As a matter of fact, they can now be expelled for "thinking wrongly".

There was a time when a high school diploma meant something - Not now. Consequently even so-called Bible believers  in the West are definitely no longer the salt of the earth that they are supposed to be. They have now blended right in and have morphed into sugar. They are being shaped by modern society, rather than the other way around. Here is a typical high school curriculum for a social Sciences course in Ontario. Take the time to peruse some of the details of what is being taught as Social "Sciences" (HL). Are these goals compatible with your goals for your children? Do a bit of searching for yourself  and examine their curricula in detail. 


What is your long ranged goal for your children? 

Every conscientious caring Christian/Bible-believing parent should have as an over‐riding goal that their children acquire a living faith in Jesus Christ that will make them productive while here and eventually lead them to heaven at the end of their fleeting earthly lives. Nothing else is more important than this! Right? They should do everything possible to impart and to firm up their faith in Christ and in His Gospel in order to achieve this end.  If this is not your goal, then I question your personal commitment to Christ. I am not talking here about mechanical things like "memorizing a Catechism", "Child Baptism", "First Communion" or "Confirmation". These are spiritually meaningless rituals that occur in most traditional main-line churches. Training up a child is much more than these rituals. It would be tragic if you were to lose your children because of neglect or carelessness on your part. Eternity is forever. Much is at stake. 


What Guidance Does The Bible Give On This Issue? 

In Daniel 1 verses 6 to 20 (HL) we have the story of the four captured Hebrew children, including Daniel, and how they resisted the pressure to conform with the pagan society that they were immersed in.  These brave young men who had been forcefully removed from their homes must have been well schooled by their parents and by others back in their homeland. They placed their lives on the line by submitting themselves to a test. They asked to be allowed to forgo the dainties of the land for the plain solid nourishment that they had back home. After a period of time they were compared to those who partook of the king's meat and wine. They turned out to be ten times better in every way than those who ate of the king's food. In a similar fashion, I would say that Christian children today who are properly taught at home by conscientious believing parents, or by conscientious believers in a biblically solid Christian school, will turn out much better in every way than their contemporaries, Christian or otherwise, that are exposed to the public education system. As the old saying goes, The proof is in the pudding. 

There is probably not a lot of difference between Canadian and American public schools. They are both attached to the same "progressive John Dewey/ Horace Mann/ Julius Huxley root." These men were all convinced evolutionists. Those who do survive the experience will do so only because they were spiritually motivated or extremely well grounded in the truths of  Scripture well in advance, and saw this time as a missionary-like opportunity. They are the exception. My guess is that thusly motivated students are few and far between. 


Have Our Churches Done Their Part In Preparing Our Children? 

Sadly, most entertainment-oriented church youth groups will have done nothing to prepare them for the world after they leave the confines of their homes. For this negligence they will have to answer to God. 

It is high time that believing parents took the blinders from their eyes and assume control of the education of their children. The positive potential for good, for Christ and for His eternal Kingdom in and through their lives is enormous. There is a lot that hangs in the balance. A local church can die in a mere generation. If it means more hands-on attention; home schooling, or good sound private Christian Schools, then so be it. The sacrifice would be well worth it. Please don't just rely on the few hours or so that they spend per week in Sunday School, in Church, or in Youth Group to do the job. Learning how to sing Father Abraham and Somewhere in Outer Space will definitely not prepare them to be soldiers in Christ's Army. Later on in their teen years, rock climbing, "Christian" rock concerts and paint ball will definitely not prepare them for what is ahead. Most importantly, Mom and Dad should be personally teaching them solid biblical doctrine regularly at home. This even beats setting aside money for their future post-secondary education. Talk about an  investment  with immeasurable returns! It far exceeds gold or platinum, hands down. There is no comparison.  Deuteronomy 6:6-7  definitely applies to believing parents in this age also.  

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 

If, however, you still chose to leave your children in the public system, then I would advise you to peruse their curricula (HL). You may change your mind after seeing these documents. It is hard to find a course in the modern system that is not permeated with malignant lies from the evolution saturated world view. Talk to their teachers. Find out their philosophies of life. Do they share your beliefs? What do they think about the Bible? What do they think of traditional marriage and the traditional family? What kind of relationship are they presently in? Are they living common law? Their life styles tells a lot about their philosophy. What is their opinion of same-sex relationships? 


What value do you place on your child's soul? 

It will be well worth the investment of your money, your effort and your time to take this matter into your own hands. Would you, after all, leave your innocent and helpless  infant child with a total stranger as a baby sitter? Of course not! Likewise, why would you leave your pre-teenager or your teenager for months, even years, at a time, with persons that you do not even know?  Do you get the point? You will eventually be judged for your parenting. Genuine effective parenting cannot be done by proxy - unless you are the Queen of England - and even then I have my doubts. Do not be like the king who was described in the Bible (Daniel 5:27)  as being "weighed in the balances and found wanting."  He made fun of sacred things. We are also told that there are dire consequences for harming the faith of little ones (Matthew 18: 6 (HL)). 

Like it or not, these people (teachers and even youth pastors) make a big impression on our young people, and for the most part, that impression will not necessarily be in conformity with what you as a believing parent aspire for them. I know what I am talking about, for I have been on the inside, both in church and in the secular education system, for many years.

Unfortunately many modern Christians parents today have surrendered to the spirit of the age by abdicating their most important roles in the family. They have relegated it to others for the sake of money and/or for their careers. They have let the day cares, the baby sitters, the junior kindergartens, the Sunday schools, the youth groups, the "childrens churches", the elementary schools and the high schools perform this crucial God-given parent-assigned task.  I repeat; What value do you place on your child's soul?  You may have  given them all of the expensive toys available in this materialistic society, but if your children are forever lost as a direct result of your careless neglect of their souls, then you may end up being  a failure as a parent. What good is it if they have the most expensive I-phones and I-pads, or whatever, that money can buy to text someone standing right next to them if they have not learned from you how to communicate with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ? Could there be any other more important form of communication than this? Keep in mind that we will have to give account some day, sooner than you think, before God for our stewardship?  That will be tragic in a lot of cases! 

On the other hand, think of the tremendous satisfaction that you would experience by bringing up your children to know and to serve God for the rest of their earthly lives; not out of compulsion, but willingly from their hearts! Wouldn't it be awesome if they had the spiritual strength and conviction of the four Hebrew children described in Daniel chapter one? Could there be anything else in life more gratifying to caring believing parents than this? Think about it! Is there any such thing as a more important task than this one? What a awesome and exciting time to be engaged in the battle for men's souls! We know that His Return is soon. There just may be some deep tribulation before that happens. Will they be like the five wise virgins who had oil in their lamps?

My purpose in writing this summary is to encourage concerned parents to take a hands-on approach to their children's education for as long as they are your responsibility.  Hopefully a few will heed my advice, since I also am a Christian parent and an educator.  Please excuse the worn out saying, but,  I have been there - Done that - And have the T-shirt.


                                                   FIRST THINGS FIRST

Bear with me and I will eventually get to the topic of The Legacy of Evolution. However, if you are a non‐believer, the matter of your eternal salvation is even much more crucial for you  at this time in your life than the Evolutionary World View. Get this issue resolved first, and then consider the other. Regardless of your knowledge in many other areas of your life, you will still eventually die and go to hell for your sins if you do not examine what the Bible specifically has to say about your own eternal destiny, and respond favourably to it. The written word reveals the way of salvation for all through Christ:  educated - uneducated;  rich - poor; intelligent - unintelligent; black - brown - white - yellow - red, or any shade of melanin in between. God is no respecter of persons. The Gospel applies to all. 


God's powerful Word shows us the way

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any  two-edged  sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
(Hebrews 4:12). 


All have sinned

The Bible clearly says that you absolutely must acknowledge that you are a hopeless sinner in dire need of a Savior. This is the essential starting point.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  (Romans 5:12). 

Don’t let your pride keep you from making this admission. Tragically, refusing to concede this fact keeps many people out of heaven.  Jesus said that the way to destruction is wide and many are on this road. There are a lot of proud educated people on the wide road to hell. Keep in mind that your intellect does not impress God. Ph.D.'s will not count for anything at the Judgement seat of Christ. It will count for nothing when you stand before Him. The clay cannot impress the potter.


There is only one way - Works will not cut it

Enter ye  at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leadeth unto destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13–14). 

Contrary to modern positive thinkers and Modern Psychology, we are not good people. The Bible says that there is not one good among us: 

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one  (Romans 3:12). 

Jesus, the only perfect and sinless man, came to this earth for the sole purpose of sacrificing His perfect life for your sins and for mine. He was without sin. An  infinite sacrifice was required for sin committed against an infinitely holy God. Only Jesus would suffice. A created being would have been far inadequate, to say the least: animal, human or angel. Sects like the J(F)W's and the Mormons do not believe in the deity of Christ, and for that reason, among many others, cannot convey the correct Gospel to unbelievers. How can they when they believe that He is Satan's, or Michael the Archangel's brother, or whatever. They have the wrong Jesus. This is extreme heresy. Jesus is God incarnate! 
 
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life  (John 3:16).

He is the spotless sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world - our Passover Lamb. 

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world  (John 1:29). 


His name is exclusive

There is no other Name above His Name...None!

 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  (Acts 4:12). 

There is no other way other than through Him. All other "ways" are excluded.

 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me  (John 14:6).

He is The Way, not just a way among many ways. Not too long ago at a prayer breakfast in Washington, President Obama said that Jesus was A Way, not THE way. This is universalism. It is wrong!

He is the only door - The only entry point.  A generic "finding God"  is not sufficient.

 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture (John 10:7–9). 


Salvation is an unearned gift

The salvation of your eternal soul is purely an act of God’s grace, administered through faith. Grace means God's Generosity at Christ's Expense. (I made up the second one because I have forgotten the original word that goes here.)

 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8–9). 


Works will not do

Salvation is not, in any way, a result of your own works. You may be a Mother Theresa, but without Christ's vicarious saving work, you are still hopeless. It is no more a work on your/my part than accepting a life preserver tossed out to a drowning man is a work on his part, or accepting the key to your cell to legitimately release you from a life sentence. Your good works will definitely not get you into heaven. Even Mother Theresa may not be in heaven if she relied on anything else but the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ on the cross to save her. The "Virgin Mary", whom she adulated, was/is not the mediator between God and man - Only Jesus Christ is. Rick Warren has recently claimed that she is an exemplary saint because of her good works. Wrong! The way to heaven is not Jesus and... It is Jesus only. 


The heart must be involved

Finally, you must believe, in your heart of hearts, on the Lord Jesus Christ as did the Philippian jailer in Acts 16:31:

 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 

If you have sincerely acknowledged that you are a lost sinner in need of Christ’s forgiveness please heed the exhortation given in Romans 10:9–10: 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in the heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

Confess Him, verbally and with your changed life, to someone else to confirm your faith. 


The signs of a changed life - repentance - old things pass away - all things become new

Among the sure signs of genuine faith are a changed life, endurance and fruitfulness. The parable of the sower gives us a picture of the various responses of people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Read Matthew 13: 3–8: 

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

In Matthew 13: 18–23  Jesus explained the preceding parable: 

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;  Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 

The various types of soil in the preceding parable represent the various conditions of human hearts as to their reception of the Word of God - the Gospel. If you have truly repented of your sins, something that only the Holy Spirit can enable you to do with the cooperation of your will, and if you have fully trusted in Christ's vicarious blood sacrifice for your forgiveness, then you will be like the seed that fell on good ground. Repentance is also a continuing Holy Spirit-aided process. The proof of your new birth and of your genuine repentance will be a changed life, endurance in the faith and fruitfulness. In 2 Corinthians  5:17 the Bible says: 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


What to do after salvation

I would advise you, as a new believer, to immediately and prayerfully commence reading your Bible (KJV if possible) at the Gospel of John. If you don't have one, get one. You have no excuse. They are even available at most Dollar stores for a buck or two. I will even give you one if you live close enough to me.  As soon as possible seek for a good Bible‐believing church, submit to their discipleship, if it aligns with the Scriptures, and become a part of it. Don't just be a pew warmer, or a Sunday-go-to-meeting Christian. A church should be like an organism with all parts serving a vital function. Also be a Berean (Acts 17: 11 (HL)). Check everything out with the Bible. Don't go off on any rabbit trails; and there are a lot of them out there today especially. Follow Jesus' instructions and get baptized. Keep in mind that baptism does not save you. If you have heeded the Scriptures given above, you are already saved, and that for eternity. Nothing can add to it. Isn't that awesome?!! You should however, get baptized - by immersion. This ordinance is an important Christ-directed event that is outwardly symbolic of an inward change. It should be done as soon as possible after salvation in obedience to our Lord because He commanded us to do so.

Find a good Bible-believing church and attend it regularly. Grow in Christ and carry out the Great Commission that He gave us by passing your precious new faith on to others. There is a lost world out there and a lot of work to be done. Endure your own cross. Who knows what lies ahead for you. It will be worth it! Just trust Him. You will never retire from His work until your graduation ceremony before the King of Kings in heaven. You will then have a degree conferred to you by the Master Himself. What a "Master's Degree" that will be! That is the kind that I want. That will be an awesome time!!!! I'll see you there! 



                                                 MORE DETAILS ON PUBLIC EDUCATION

Congratulations if you have gotten this far. Now getting back to the main topic at hand,  I have studied many aspects of evolution for years. There was a time when it was not an issue in my life. However, after I truly surrendered my life to Christ, and became a parent, it started to concern me. Did I want my children to be taught a theory that was not compatible with biblical Christianity? Could this world view possibly be integrated with a scriptural Christ‐centered one? Very soon I came to realize that it was impossible. I found them to be incompatible with one another.  In spite of my strong convictions to this effect, I still kept my children in the public system, believing that the influence of our home and of the church would override the influence of evolution-inspired education. At that time I did not consider any other alternatives. There didn't appear to be any. Such educational alternatives for our children are much more attractive and affordable today. What eternal benefit is there to your children if they attain to the highest plateaus of secular learning and yet still lose their very souls? Nothing! It will all be for naught in the end.

Shouldn't Christian Children Remain In The Public School System? I had always heard from former pastors and from Christian friends that our children should remain in the system to be the salt of the earth that Jesus taught about, and that "they would suffer socially" if educated at home or in a small Christian school. I now know that this is a common fallacy still taught by many churches today. It is wrong!  What a tragic decision this has proven to be in many cases!  Home schooled and private Christian schooled children, with some exceptions, are more than capable of holding their own when they enter the public university system (HL). Statistics bear this out. They are the most well adjusted kids around. 


I have Seen It From The Inside. 

If only I could tell you what I have seen from day to day in the schools that I have gone to. Most children from believers'  homes that go there are no different than the rest; even much worst in some cases. Our society is littered with such products of dormant churches and secular education. There doesn't appear to be any spiritual life in them. They have long surrendered to their fleshly natures. They are more interested in playing sports on Sunday rather than going to church. Osmosis has happened; but not in the direction anticipated by Christian parents. I have seen it happen all too often. They have become hardened hybrids by then. Some will pay a high price by not heeding the advice of Scripture.

The difference between both world views, the Christian and the evolutionary,  is even more acute than it was a few decades ago.  One is depressing and morbid. The other is hope‐filled and life nurturing.  One leads to life, while the other leads to death.

As A Public School Science Teacher, I Had to Decide About The Issue Of Evolution. As a person who spent most of his career in Science, I had to decide whether God had created us, the earth and all living things on it, including the entire universe, in the way that He described in the Book of Genesis; or if He wasn't involved at all. To me there was no in between, like Theistic Evolution. Our Creator didn't use a death saturated process to produce our biosphere. Was He all-powerful or not? An arms length relationship between God and His Creation was not an alternative way of thinking for me. I reasoned that if the Scriptures had to be twisted beyond recognition in order to make them conformable with the Theory of Evolution and with other scientific Theories, and this is what is done with  Theistic Evolution (HL), or with making a day into an age (HL), then they were not dependable at all. I wanted no part in them. For me, either the Bible was to be taken at face value when dealing with origins, and any other related issues for that matter, or it was false. Why would our omnipotent and loving God make his word so esoteric and allegorical that we would have to rely on the scholars to explain it for us; or such that it would require years of scholarly study to decipher for ourselves? Doesn't it claim that even a child can understand the essentials? At some point I made a conscious decision in my heart to believe that the Scriptures are God’s direct words to us, to be taken at face value; one that, to this day, I have never regretted having taken. Thank God! 


                                                   WHAT IS A LEGACY?

Now let’s get back again to the main topic; Evolution's Legacy.  I apologize for being so long winded, but what I write comes from my heart. According to Webster's Dictionary, a legacy is something that is handed down to a successor - a bequest. Whatever is passed on from one generation to another can be good, bad or neutral; material, ideological or spiritual. For example, politicians are often concerned about their legacy. How will they be perceived by history? My personal desire, and that of my wife, is to pass on a truthful and enduring spiritual legacy to our children, and to our children’s children for many generations to come; that is, if He tarries. To us there is nothing more valuable than this.

Jesus talked about this subject at length. He told us that we could recognize a good or bad tree by the fruit (its legacy) that it produces. In the same way, a world view can also be evaluated by the fruit that it has produced over time, that is, by its effects on  human society. With this in mind, we will look at a few of the many aspects of the legacy of the Evolutionary World View. Has this ubiquitous theory/philosophy made our world into a better place or not? What is its legacy, so far? What does it portend for the future? 


   THE TENETS OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE TENETS OF EVOLUTIONISM

Many intellectuals, theologians and  Christian scholars today (HL)  believe that Christianity (the Bible), Evolutionism and evolution-inspired Marxism (HL)  are compatible.  A man called Jim Wallace (HL) particularly stands out in this regard. Is this compatibility really so?

The last time that I checked it out, a central tenet of the theory of Evolution was survival of the fittest or natural selection (HL). Conversely, this fundamental evolutionary principle can also be expressed as "the elimination of the weakest".  According to evolutionary thought, all living things in this world must compete for survival.  Darwin's theory postulates that there are  winners and there are losers in the competition for life; although even the "winners" eventually also lose to death anyway in the end. According to this widely accepted theory, these are the cold facts of life. Death is an indispensable part of the evolutionary process. No one ever wins; just the human species as it, not individuals, endures and evolves "upwards".

Consider the immortal words of Jesus Christ and of His servant, the great apostle Paul, concerning life and death. Jesus said: 

“He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 10:39).

Finding it implies eternal life with Him.

 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"  (Mark 8:35-36)

By implication this verse means that we shall possess our souls for eternity in heaven if we heed His Word.  

Paul wrote the following in Philippians 1:21: 

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Contrast these statements of Jesus and Paul with an important one made by Darwin regarding the destiny of humans from his perspective. One  doesn't have to look very far to find it. It refers to a collective destiny.  A very pointed statement of his is embedded right into the original title of his major work; On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or,  The Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life (HL). This statement of course implies not just the elimination of weaker individuals, but the elimination of entire "weaker races". Rarely is this complete, and very revealing  title given for Darwin’s major Thesis. If you are perceived as being weak, your earthly destiny is already decided. The Nazis in WW2 put this tenet of evolution into action. Margret Sanger (HL), the founder of Planned Parenthood, was motivated by this false evolutionary tenet. She believed that the black "race" was inferior to all others.  I elaborate more on this later.

According to Darwin and his many followers, everyone ultimately loses in the end. It is just dark oblivion.  A Theory could not be more at odds with the Gospel than this one. The Bible says that we win if we live for, and  even possibly die for Christ. In Christ, all born-again sin-forgiven believers already have eternal life. Conversely, it also says that all unregenerate men will stand before God at their Resurrection to be judged. Consequently they will be sent to eternal conscious punishment in the lake of fire forever. They will want to go to oblivion, but instead it will be eternal conscious punishment. So you see that it is not just dark oblivion after death, as evolutionists tells us. There is no easy way out of rebellion against God. 

Read what Revelation 20: 11-15  has to say on that issue: 

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Was Darwin A Racist? Is it possible that modern politically correct Darwin followers are also trying to conceal a side of Sir Charles that they don't want the public to see? Let me Shout it out!  He clearly defined racism, in the strictest sense of the word.  By this aforementioned title to his major work he was implying that all of the earth's ethnic groups, which he calls races, evolved along different paths from lower primates until the present time (HL). Read any current scientific periodical and you will consistently see that this false view of humanity's origin is a given. Canada's revered science icon, David Suzuki, is continuously spouting this kind of evolutionary propaganda on all of his CBC programs and in his frequent news paper columns. I am thankful that he has finally retired. He is in the news again lately over financial improprieties. Large sums of money that were received by his foundation from American backers was apparently improperly disclosed (HL). According to this concept, it therefore stands to reason that some "races" are more evolved than others; and it doesn't take a genius to predict the implications of this belief. Darwin definitely held to this; even saying that the black "race" in particular was our closest link to apes. Is there any doubt in your mind now that the originator of this theory was a racist? What good can he impart to our children?

Contrast this malignant evolution-inspired view of the human race with the Biblical one that tells us that all men have come from a common origin, and that any external differences between the different ethnic groups on earth are skin deep. The modern science of Genetics is proving this out.  Maybe in your heart you don't want to acknowledge that what I am saying is true. Remember that the Bible says that believing occurs first in the heart. The heart dictates to the head. You have got to firstly want to believe whatever you end up believing.  Nevertheless, without Evolutionism there is no good philosophical basis for racism, even though it existed long before the advent of this hypothesis. 

Some deluded "religious" people (White Supremacists in particular) have erroneously tried to make a connection between black people and the mark of Cain. They are dead wrong. I have come to believe that the mark of Cain is the futile attempt by man to attain righteousness through his own good works. This evolution-based racist concept of humanity is presently providing, and has provided in the past, the fertile soil for untold human suffering and carnage. Hundreds of millions of humans have died as a direct result. 

I repeat, by contrast a biblical creationist, believes that there is only one race - the human race - Adam's race - and that all men are immeasurably valuable. They are all equal in God's eyes. All ethnic groups originate from the same source - Adam and Eve - and then Noah, his wife and family.

As both concepts of human origins are examined, I challenge the readers to consider which one is more conducive to a peaceful world: One that postulates that it is a dog-eat-dog existence that we live; or  one that encourages us to love our fellow man as ourselves. Even if I was not a believer, I would opt for the second one for the overall good of humanity. They are not compatible!

Darwin also believed in selective breeding of humans Eugenics (HL).  He inspired Margret Sanger (HL), the founder of  Planned Parenthood - The biggest abortion/eugenic/ racist /anti-Black organization in the USA.  What's more, Sir Charles not only held  to the belief that Blacks were inferior to Whites, but he also held the conviction that females (humans) were inferior in every way to males (HL). According to him, they hadn't evolved as much as males. Evolutionists, most of whom always perceive themselves to be politically correct, seem to be blind to this side of their hero.  One  wouldn't have enjoyed being his secretary if they were a lady. It is ironic that his wife and his daughter did most of his editing and publishing. Imagine that! Inferior females! This attitude, however, was very commonplace among the aloft British upper class intelligentsia of that era. This prolific icon also had many other unusual quirks that rarely see the light of day in any historic writings about him. One has to dig to find them. Unknown to many of his admirers is the fact that he had major psychological problems - spending a lot of his time secluded in deep depression.

Contrast this sexist attitude with what the Bible teaches in Galatians 3: 28  in this regard:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Most, if not all, evolutionists consider that the fundamental axioms of Mr. Darwin's hypothesis naturally apply to humans. According to evolutionary thought, modern humans arrived at this point in time, by evolving from some kind of “primitive” progenitor cell (HL), which self-generated in and from the lifeless abiotic ingredients of a warm pool of "primordial" oxygen-free slime.  Staunch  evolutionists of course tell us that every aspect of human existence: consciousness, abstract thought, love, hate, creativity, compassion, sexuality, spirituality, music appreciation, religious propensity, altruism, etc., evolved from that first cell.  According to them, even the survival instinct evolved early on, solely from the elementary laws of Chemistry and Physics. If one accepts their Atheistic presuppositions, it had to happen this way. This is fundamental to the evolutionary process (i.e. macroscopic evolution). Excuse me, but, what an unbelievable crock! 

The Bible, on the other hand, teaches us that we are different than mere animals because we were made (instantly) in God's image on the sixth (literal) day. Our omnipotent God could have done this in a mere microsecond if He would have wanted to.  He didn't have to use a crude death-permeated trial-and-error billion year period to achieve this task. 

 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1: 27. 

The Theory of Evolution also proposes that humans will only continue to improve in the future, and to ensure their progress as a species, if  they use the one quality that sets them apart from (other) animals; their superior intellect. While on the subject of intellect, it is also accepted as fact by followers of Darwin that this exceptional quality, which of course includes our marvelous Central Nervous System wherein it resides, has also evolved over the multiplied millions of years of mechanistic evolution. Every day researchers are uncovering more of the  extreme complexities of the human brain. They are finding it to be staggeringly complicated. I find it unimaginable that man is so blind that he cannot see the hand of an unlimited wise designer in just the unfathomable intricacies of the human body, let alone the universe. What a gigantic, irrational and blind leap of faith is taken by these men and their disciples! 

We are also led to believe by the powers that be in evolutionary "science" that unlimited technological progress may eventually  lead humans to immortality, and “to the stars” - starting with Mars. Huge amounts of money are wasted looking for life on planets in other solar systems. With predicable regularity announcements are made by the jubilant media about the discovery by SETI (HL) - (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), or some other astronomical research organization, of another possible solar system with planets like earth.  They firmly contend that life may have evolved there also provided, of course, that the temperature is just right, and if a million other complex variables are in line. This is a typical example of the blind leading the blind.  

Contrast this with what Jesus has revealed to us (believers) concerning our awesome future. Revelation 21: 4-5:
 
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

I do not, however, deny the possibility of future contact with the "higher civilization" that SETI and others are searching for. If and when this happens, that" higher civilization" however, will be none other than the Deceiver-in-Chief himself, Satan. He can change himself into "an angel of light".  Should this happen, I predict that the world will believe it lock-stock-and-barrel. We should be ready for this possible eventuality. It is so sad that lost people cannot see that the omnipotent God of the universe, the Creator of all, made intimate contact with the inhabitants of this sin-cursed earth two thousand years ago in the land of Israel. Not only that, but He laid down His life so that no one has to perish. They will have no excuse. The Biblical saying is so true: 

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. (Psalm 14:1). 

There is no bigger fool than one who, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, denies the existence of God, and thereby rejects His plan of salvation.

Due to advances in Human Genetics, evolutionists also believe that all diseases will eventually be eliminated - eternal life at last -human intelligence-aided evolution at work. This flies in the face of  Hebrews 9:27, which tells us: 

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

and Genesis 2: 16-17, which states:

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

In Revelation 21:1,4-5 John the revelator tells us: 

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

The earth will not evolve to become a better place. It will be renewed. You will note that the first heaven referred to in the aforementioned verse is the earth's atmosphere, the biosphere and possibly the realm of the stars, but not the heaven of heavens. 

As you can see, sophisticated modern rational man believes that he is the captain of his own ship, and that he is in total control of his own destiny.  As such, how has he performed thus far with Evolutionism and its accompanying Atheism as his primary guidance system? Is there any reason for optimism as we examine the  world during the last few centuries in the light of Darwin’s Theory, and as we extrapolate its influence on  into the future? 

While talking about the future, I have recently heard that many laboratories are presently experimenting with human genetics in unimaginable of ways. They are currently trying to chemically enhance human DNA, as well as combining it with animal DNA. There is not a doubt in my mind that they have already opened up a Pandora’s Box of horrors that will even far surpass the potential horrors of nuclear weapons. All of this is taking place under the guise of human controlled evolution. It is my hope that Jesus will return before my precious grandchildren are exposed to the monstrosities that these out‐of‐control men (evolutionists) will doubtlessly produce. With all of this in mind, do you still think that we are we about to usher in a future utopia or hell on earth? Are biblical Christianity and Evolutionism compatible? Is your trust still placed in man? Is the Theory of Evolution as harmless as you may have previously thought? 


                                           EVOLUTION’S LEGACY IN PUBLIC EDUCATION
                    
Progressive Education: What better place to start Evolution's ubiquitous Legacy than where the rubber meets the road; in public "progressive" education. For a long time I thought that anything associated with the term progress was inherently good. Webster's dictionary defines progress as advancement to a higher goal; steady improvement.  Doesn't everyone appreciate this commendable quality? After all, no one wants to be associated with the Luddites (HL), and with others who rejected technological innovation. However, I have since learned that the kind of progress that most modern social engineers are talking about when they call themselves Progressives  is a gradual movement of society by those in positions of power towards their Atheistic/Socialistic goals, where the state controls all. Their ideal is Plato's Republic (HL. (I hope that the word progressive in the PC party of Canada has no direct connection with this movement. If so, I'll have to reconsider my affiliation with them.) 

Let’s have a closer look at one of Atheistic Evolutionism’s primary legacies - public education. It has been a primary influence, along with the indispensable help of  the various public entertainment and educational media, in shaping the values of the Western World in the last half century or so. As we look at today's society, and at education in particular, it is so obvious that we are reaping what we have sown. Big time! Remember that Christians first established free universal public education in the Western World, and most of its teachers had to be exemplary citizens. Needless to say, things have changed drastically since then. 

Let us now look specifically at  Progressive Education (HL) - evolution's "showcase" exhibit. The founders of this radical movement had as a major goal to uproot and replace the previous, religious/Bible‐based, educational philosophy, and especially to purged it of all of its traditional Christian influences. Even the universities, most of which were founded by Christians with a Christian mandate, were changed by the  progressives and the liberals so that they no longer had any place for the philosophies of their founders. They would even chisel the scriptural sayings out of their stone monuments if it didn't make their intent so obvious. Note the recent vote at the DNC Convention (HL) when there was a 50:50 split between those who wanted to acknowledge God in the preamble of their Democratic Party and those who didn't want any mention of our Creator. Can you guess what side Obama's heart is on? Please don't tell me that this move was not directly related to the Evolutionary World View.  In lock step with these revolutionaries and with their socialist‐inspired ideas, the university elite taught and ingrained a new way of thinking into their admiring acolytes; believing that they would usher in the age of “peace and prosperity”. Consequently, over time, they firmly indoctrinated their philosophy into those who became the political elite ruling class of our modern society. As a direct result their radical revolutionary ideas were gradually and firmly incorporated into the whole human spectrum, from infancy, on into adulthood, and beyond. We are becoming the unfortunate  recipients these "blessings".  

If you want to get a glimpse into our future, assuming that we continue of the evolution-inspired socialist road that we are on, just look at the Scandinavian countries, Sweden in particular. They are appropriate examples of the end result of controlled cradle‐to‐grave societies.  Taxes there are astronomical. Their citizens must surrender not only a goodly portion of their hard‐earned money, but also their children from a very early age to the all‐knowing state  to be  indoctrinated. Their citizens' children are considered state property. Look at the draconian way that they treat anyone who has the audacity to home school or to direct the education of their own children.  By law, no parent‐guided education is permissible. The penalties for such "crimes" are draconian (HL). This is fast becoming the norm in most European countries. In these "refined" socialist societies, any person who reaches an age where they are considered to be a financial burden on their families, or on the government health system, is advised to terminate their lives. To them, this is the ultimate in being a "responsible  citizen". This is one of the many fruit of Progressive Education which is founded on an Atheistic Evolutionary World View. Please don't tell me that this philosophy is harmless! 

The leaders in this new educational philosophy were all dedicated humanists, mostly Atheists, who included evolutionism as one of their essential foundational tenets.

A prominent progressive who is well known to many Canadians is George Bernard Shaw  (HL).  He was also heavily involved in the Arts. There is a live theater in Niagara‐on‐the‐Lake (Ontario) dedicated to his memory. Primarily because of its association with him, I have no desire to go there. Fresh and bitter waters cannot flow from the same fountain. He was also deeply involved in the socialist organization called the Fabian Society. Check the above link for details. Many current, and retired, politicians belong to this society. Tony Blaire, the former P.M. of  Great Britain,  is one of them. I am sure that many prominent Canadians are also on its membership roster.  They believe in socialism/communism by evolution, rather than by revolution.  This political movement blended with Islamic teaching is now coming into full bloom with the radical internet-driven changes that are presently occurring in the Middle-East and elsewhere. What a toxic mix!

As progressivism spread its tentacles worldwide, its lofty goal was to eventually provide the solutions to all of our world’s societal problems at various levels; both nationally and internationally. One of the institutions to achieve this end is the United Nations; specifically UNESCO (HL). It was founded by another  prolific Atheist/Humanist called Julian Huxley (HL). It has also made deep inroads into public education, especially today. Beware! These UN globalists are pushing for all countries to accept international legislation that consider childrens' rights to even exceed God-given parental rights to discipline their own offspring, and to direct their lives. Beware! Big brother is taking over. The next time that you want to physically discipline your young child when he/she is yelling his/her head off in the grocery store wanting 10#  of candy, you had better get on the "hot line" to the right government department for the appropriate action; Otherwise you could get into a lot of hot water and have your child removed and placed into their "all-knowing and all wise" custody.  James Dobson with his "Christianized Psychology" has now replaced Dr. Spock in this department. That is what the world is coming to.

After seventy or eighty years with this pedagogical philosophy at the helm of the ship called universal education, how far have we "progressed" towards achieving Plato's lofty all‐encompassing  goal? 


                                                   Progressive Education’s Principal Founder

Let us briefly focus in to see who spearheaded this revolutionary movement in education in these modern times. It was none other than a dedicated follower of Charles Darwin and Karl Marx called John Dewey (HL). He was instrumental in subtly integrating evolutionism and its accompanying socialist/atheistic tentacles deep into the educational fabric of the Western World. An avowed left‐wing pragmatist and communist‐inspired and educated humanist, he was the founder and guru of the "Progressive" Education Movement. His educational philosophy is taught today to all aspiring teachers in the public system. I was exposed to it for one looooong yeeeaaar during my training as a high school physics teacher.  Yuck!

Even though the Soviets and their minions lost the overt “cold war”, their Marxist agenda has been firmly embedded in our education system through men like Dewey and Huxley. Most Labor  Unions and Teachers' Federations are undeniably left wing sympathetic. Read their periodicals. I do from time to time, but it isn't good for my blood pressure, considering that I have paid dues to support them. Check out the background for this interview by Fox News of Sid Ryan (HL) , one of Canada's prominent leftist union leaders. Do you recognize the Ché Guevara (HL) pictures in the background? I hope that you know who he was - Castro's hatchet man. Not a nice guy!!   Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and many other leftist South American  politicians are their friends. Big corporation and private enterprise are automatically considered to be their enemies. Private education is especially anathema to them. "Alternate" sexual life styles are regularly placed on a pedestal by these left-wing socialists. It is due in part to them that the average person has been paralyzed against stating their views on many social issues, especially if they don't agree with the part line.  I even suspect big unions of being subtly involved in the new "movement to democracy" or "Arab Spring" taking place in the Middle East, and now on our shores. They now appear to be winning the war, that for a long time was going on subliminally below the surface. Now it is in the open. This conflict goes even  much deeper than just social / political philosophies. It is the ultimate war between good and evil for the hearts of men, and we all know who heads up that effort.  


Some other “Luminaries” of Progressivism: Since most progressives/evolutionists believed that humans were mere animals that had evolved to a greater degree than their "primate cousins", the classrooms of North America became, and still are, their experimental laboratories. The God‐given social order that He intended for society has been thusly completely overturned, and a colossal mess was created in its place! 

* One of the primary influences was the eccentric Sigmund Freud (HL) (1856–1939) with his philosophy suggesting that “primitive” sexual desires motivate most, if not all, of human behavior. His theory of  id, ego and super ego is still taught in high school “Family Studies” courses today. There is evidence that he may have had an incestuous affair with his sister. He was euthanized in 1939. He was a virtual wreck of a human being! What a role model for our children! Again, this is the epitome of the blind leading the blind. What possible good could a man like this, and there are many more like him, contribute to our children and thereby to our society?

* Another very eccentric and influential psychologist was Alfred Kinsey (HL) (1894–1956). This guy “takes the cake”.  He was the ultimate in weird. He reinforced his erroneous theories, as do most evolutionists, with data that supposedly revealed "typical" male sexual behavior and its motivation. The skewed results of one of his surveys arrived at the false conclusion that 10% of any population is homosexual. He was the epitome of a sexual deviant himself, taking part in many of his "experiments", along with his wife and other "colleagues", in the attic of his house. He can be credited, at least in part, for the sexual revolution of the sixties. We are now paying a very heavy price in broken lives and utter chaos on the family level for accepting his erroneous  conclusions. The tragic results are all around us. Just take a look at modern society or inside of any public high school today, and you will quickly see what I mean. Kids from families with one mom and one dad (non-divorced originals) are fast becoming anomalous. 

* Then we had other humanists;  Doctor Spock (HL) (1903–1998). He “enlightened many of us” with his no‐discipline child rearing theories. His word was final concerning child discipline. We are also suffering the consequences of his bogus hypothesis. I just wish that every trusting parent could go in to any public high school classroom today, incognito, and check out the behavior of your average child. Would they be surprised! Just look on the walls of the school at the old pictures and compare the attire of the students, and the teachers,  of twenty or more years ago with the attire of the school population and the teaching staffs today. It looks like another planet. Could it be that today's role models are different from those of yesteryear? Extreme boorishness is in. Anyhow, it was not long ago that this man's child rearing philosophy was considered, even by Christians, to override the advice given in Scripture. He was particularly against any form of physical discipline. We are now also  paying the price for his bogus hypothesis. 

Let me remind you of Proverbs 13: 24 :

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. 

In the light of this scripture, and many others like it, do you still believe, as a Bible‐believing  Christian, that Spock and his many modern disciples are right? Let me repeat, I just wish that you could follow me into any modern high school today to see firsthand the results of this man's theories. Discipline has been feminized to the extreme. They have become dens of sexual iniquity. Check out this US web (HL)  site with its list of teachers who have taken advantage of the students under their care. To my limited knowledge, there is no similar list of sexual predator teachers on the net for Canada. It would not surprise me however, if the statistics were proportionate to our populations. This also is a fruit of amoral education.

* Then there was B.F. Skinner (HL) (1904–1990) with his Conditioning Psychology. If you think that the other notables were eccentric, this guy also broke the mold. He believed that all human behavior was conditioned into us by a stimulus/response mode over many millennia of evolution. This dedicated evolutionist even experimented with his own infant daughter by placing her into a "heir conditioning" box, as one would do with a guinea pig,  for a long period of time. What a loving father! 

These theorists, all convinced evolutionists, and many others like them that I did not mention, effectively had, and still have, carte blanche in the public education classrooms of North America. They form  a pantheon of the weird. Their teachings and many other similar  "notables"  are standard fare at teachers’ colleges. I know. I had to study this progressive propaganda to become a high school teacher. Especially after studying Engineering, it was painful. Yuck!

 
                 No Personal Responsibility For Actions: 

One of the many tragic consequences of the evolution‐related philosophies of  men like these manifest themseves in our society by the fact that no one assumes personal responsibility anymore for their behavior, or should I say misbehavior. This effect goes all the way from elementary school students to convicts in our “correctional” facilities.  One classic example of this is The Twinkie defense (HL).  A Twinkie, in case you don't know, was a sugar‐filled snack; something like a Vachon Joe Louis cake. (I still love those things!)  A  defense attorney argued that the Twinkie his client had consumed made him commit the crime.  Misbehavior is always someone or something else’s fault. Modern Psychology will now give us a reason for any and all human misbehavior. They are all "mental illnesses". Just ask Dr. Phil. Sin is definitely passé. Alcoholism is now an illness, like any other. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s) are now called Sexually Transmitted Illnesses (STI's). Prostitution is now the Sex Trade. Pedophilia is becoming accepted as normal and acceptable behavior. Other harmful sexual behaviors are now "alternate life styles" that are genetically predetermined. They were born that way. Seriously, I realize that some people have had horrific upbringings, but at some point in their lives they have got to quit blaming others and assume responsibility for their own actions. Even a good living person, even a believer, who has had an ideal biblically‐based upbringing is still a sinner and prone to sin. 

These men tell us that human behavior has nothing to do with the existence of a spiritual side to our human nature - A side that is fallen from what it was intended to be by our Creator;  Nor do they acknowledge the existence of an evil demonic supernatural realm. They teach children that such things do not exist. Sin is a non-consideration. These same teachers propagate the lie that the human conscience, whatever it is, unfortunately has been manipulated by kill‐joy Christian parents  from childhood. According to them, guilt is just bad conditioning. Televangelist Robert Schuller (HL) has an interesting definition of sin which dove-tails with behaviorism. People just have to be treated and then reconditioned by “those who know better”. This prolific purveyor of Positivism is now gone from the air waves.


                Worldwide Terrorism and Progressive Education 

Now I will attempt to make an important connection between Evolutionism and terrorism, via Progressive Education. Evolutionists would no doubt disagree with the connection that I will make, but I am convinced that it is correct. 

At the time that I write this article, Islamic inspired terrorism is rampant, and increasing everywhere, as still "martyrs" en mass blow themselves up for their cause, the "master religion".  As the former leader of the PLO, Yasir Arafat (HL), said to his adoring crowd before he died, "Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!"  Destroying as many infidels as possible in the process is their goal. They definitely would like to bring down the "Christian" West. Egypt, Libya and many other Arab countries are now imploding and radical Islamic groups are awaiting to fill the power vacuum. Thereby a new Islamic wave has  begun which has the potential to spread to many other Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia. Who knows what would happen if Islamic radicals got their hands on their oil and wealth. It is well known that democracy, as we know it, is impossible in an Islamic state. They ether have to settle for another despot/dictator or an Islamic cleric-run Theocracy. The West is presently in a lose-lose situation, especially with Obama as President of the USA. 

Not too long ago (2009)  a Muslim terrorist blew himself up at a graduation ceremony in a  poor African country. There were numerous fatalities and casualties;  Muslims, Christians, young, old, women and children. What can possibly justify an act so evil as this? The same could be said about the knocking down of the Twin Towers in New York City. They are even killing more of their fellow Muslims than "infidels". If I was a "moderate" Muslim, I would hide my head in shame. Many other such events are not even reported by our biased media for fear of a backlash.  Actions of this nature are undeniably diabolical. It has been said that “every Muslim is not a terrorist, but the vast majority of modern day terrorists are Muslims. That is a fact.  Have you read about any Christian terrorists lately? I haven’t. If perchance you do read about one, you can be sure that he/she is not a genuine Christian believer. Timothy McVay (HL), the infamous Oklahoma bomber, was not a Christian, as is often claimed in the media. If anything, he was a product of a Godless evolution‐inspired education system.  Oprah and the Libs on the View are wrong! Even the few murders of abortionists doctors that have been committed by deranged people, cannot possibly be credited to any truly Christian person or movement.  There is a world of difference between an Islamic Fundamentalist and a Christian Fundamentalist. 

As most people now know, a Muslim Psychiatrist, who was in  the US Army in at a base in Texas, recently killed 13 soldiers and wounded about 25 more. There doesn’t appear to be any letup in these worldwide attacks. 

What does this have to do with Progressive Education and Evolutionism, you may ask?  Am I away out of line with this insinuation? Hang in there with me, as I make the connection. 

In my humble opinion, Western Nations, since they have rejected the God of the Bible in favor of "Science" and Evolutionism, are indirectly fuelling these self‐righteous zealots. They are fomenting, through modern secular education, a breakdown of traditional morality in every possible way in our society. Political correctness and fear of legal action has muffled the voices of conservative-minded people.  The progressives  have snubbed their noses at God as described in Psalm 2: 1-4. 

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

 Lately especially, there has been an unprecedented wave of  permissiveness and moral anarchy in Western countries. The permissive spirit of "Amsterdamism" (my own word) has spread across the West.  This degenerative process, which has especially accelerated in the last few decades, is  being achieved, at least partially, by the planned dismantling of our traditional God‐given family structure, turning it on its head, and then elevating other anomalous life styles in its place. The evolution-saturated educational system is heavily involved in this rotting process. 

In addition, with every new Hollywood production, which modern educators seem to love, we in the West, are reinforcing the terrorists' perception of us as being degenerate and immoral. They are correct. Islamic extremists, however, have the mistaken idea that all of Christianity, which they erroneously believe to be religion of the West, is rotten and degenerate. Come to think of it, to a certain extent, they are again correct, but there is still a pure and vibrant core of true followers of Christ left who have not “bowed the knee to Baal.” Jesus said, as recorded in Matthew 16:18:

 “ … … and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” 

 He also told us, as recorded in  in Matthew 7: 13: 

“… for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” 

There will always be a remnant; but it isn’t as big as some believe.  

     Hollywood‐generated Entertainment and Progressive           
                                              Education

Rebellious lyrics in modern music are being widely inculcated into our vulnerable youth from every angle. Most modern entertainers don't even try to hide the fact that they have utter disdain for anything good and moral.  Nihilism and Hedonism are elevated as the accepted modes of behavior. The rock‐and‐roll rebellion begun in the 50's and 60's has come into full bloom. As Obama's former "pastor", Jeremiah Wright (HL), said in one of his vicious diatribes, "the chickens have come home to roost." 

Not too long ago (Nov 2009), at an awards ceremony for entertainers, shown on the ABC Television Network, a sexual deviate “star” performed a lewd simulated sex act with another deviate right in full view of everyone in his presentation. Most viewers never even batted an eye lash at this unprecedented public act.  This life style is regularly portrayed as normal on CBC Television Network sit‐coms; a government subsidized corporation, I might add. These rebels (“entertainers”) then sooth their calloused consciences by pandering to their "favourite charities."  Little do they suspect that they are actually being a vital part of the cause of world‐wide terrorism, by providing these Islamic fanatics with additional fuel for their cause. It is due primarily to them that the West is perceived as immoral and degenerate; ready for the picking. Mind you, if it wasn’t for this reason, the terrorist would probably still have found another reason to continue their Jihad against  us. 

You may ask, “OK! Get to the point! What does all of this doom and gloom have to do with Evolutionism? You are painting with too a wide brush! Quit beating around the bush!” Here is my answer. We can credit the ubiquitous influence of the Godless Evolutionary World View for the fact that moral standards in society, via education and the media, are fast becoming passé.  All morality is now considered to be relative. Due to Evolutionism, society now perceives that there is no longer a God to whom anyone is responsible. It's now a "do your own thing" world. All  moral restraints have thereby been removed. Western society is now behaving like it has been in some way emancipated from the "heavy hand of religion".  Living common law is now he the norm. Sex outside of marriage is considered normal and acceptable behavior. Abortion is rampant. Divorce is commonplace. Crime has drastically increased. And this only begins to scratch the surface.  Half of our society will probably be too busy watching the Super Bowl, the Grey Cup, the Academy Awards or the Stanley Cup to even notice that an irreversible paradigm shift has occurred. 

This may be a very sharp criticism, but most post-moderns today probably haven't got enough of an attention span to read a few paragraphs of what I have written. They would rather watch TV or a video, play video games, text on their I-phones or throw back a few cold ones with the boys. 

The West  is now much like a ship without a rudder. Consequently Islamic terrorists see us as being rotten to the core, and ripe for a religious‐inspired takeover. The takeover, if and when it happens, will be "frog‐in‐the‐kettle‐like until it is too late to do anything about it . This is now the case in France, Germany, England, Spain and elsewhere in Europe.  


Modern Progressive Education And The Entertainment
​                                                    Industry

Hollywood‐generated Godless pop culture personalities, who are at the forefront of this rebellion against their Creator, are the role models used in the current curricula of many courses in our evolution-saturated schools. Their degenerate and obscene music and movies have thereby been integrated into the fabric of "education", if it can still be called thusly. Provocative themes from their Hollywood productions are posted over many classroom walls. Instead of studying edifying subjects or great people of the past that will inspire students to higher goals, they waste this formative time in their lives by forcing them to studying  empty narcissistic entertainment personalities like  "Lady" Gaga and Justin Bieber. Rebels from the past like the late James Dean, Malcolm X and Ché Guevara are also adulated. It is not uncommon to hear vile obscenities and blatant blasphemy in their degenerate movies, or in their vile music. Violence and sex are usually the common themes. Family structure, if portrayed at all, is usually weird and dysfunctional. It has been turned on its head. Men are commonly portrayed as effeminate bumbling idiots, while women are usually in positions of power, like Hilary Rodham Clinton with her "power suits". These movies are regularly played in class for later analysis by teachers with agendas.  The latest slaying of six people by a very eccentric man in Arizona (Jan 2011)  is, in part at least,  another one of the results of their nihilistic violence riddled movies. Sadly, this is not the end of such tragic events.

 Isn't it ironic that modern educators express surprise when their students emulate the behavior, in attire and in action, that they see portrayed on the silver screen. The other day I saw a boy in the hall of a local "high" school who had long black clothes, black makeup and black nail polish. He was carrying a large casket pencil case - yes, a casket. He looked like "death warmed over". I wonder where he got his ideas from? He didn't draw any attention to those in authority, however, because "he wasn't wearing a cap." That's all that seems to matter nowadays. It is the only rule that I ever see being enforced.  "Take that hat off!" What is worn, or not warn, below the head doesn't seem to matter any more. 

As a consequence of the above influences, the dress codes that at one time were posted on some bulletin boards in our high schools are a joke.  There may not even be any official dress code left by now on paper anywhere in the halls of academia. It would probably be against our precious Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms anyway to do such a "individuality smothering" thing.  When students misbehave in ways that disrupt the lesson, however, teachers are grilled for their lack of conflict resolution skills, and then thrown out; especially substitute teachers. One must, of course, baby the students and let them know "their rights".  I am now speaking from experience. It has happened to me. Ask me and I will give you details if you want them.

Girls, even female teachers, can wear clothing that reveals a goodly portion of their anatomy; while boys can wear pants  half way down to their knees that reveal their under‐clothing. Females can come to school in their pajama bottoms if they wish. Boorishness is definitely in. Nothing is said or done about it. No one has the guts nor the desire to take the bull by the horns. Girls wearing skirts are an anomaly.  They would probably experience bullying, but who cares about them. It wasn't that long ago that I observed a rather statuesque teacher in a staff room who was wearing clothing that revealed a good three inches of her bare waste, including her navel. Apparently this was "par for the course" with her.  Females, including teachers, can wear tights that leave nothing to the imagination. Most high schools now look like "Cleavage city", or "Hooker City". I kid you not! If you are a parent, take a look. Open your eyes!  Is it any wonder that boys have a short attention span in class? If this kind of overt provocative sexual behavior would have been in vogue during the early 60’s, I wouldn’t have made it through high school. 

Thereby our evolution‐inspired progressive educational institutions are playing a vital part in the degenerative process, mentioned above, by rotting the hearts and the minds of our vulnerable youth. They have excluded the teaching of  morals to a whole generations of young people, not that they would even know what to teach in this area anyway. Bible‐based morality is ridiculed. Its not even on their RADAR screens. Why is this?
