It is an interesting fact that civilization and recorded history only date back about 6,000 years. Not coincidentally, this is the amount of time that the Bible covers.
According to evolutionists, people were hunter-gatherers for about a million years before civilization arose, and then suddenly, someone stood up and said, ‘let’s invent the wheel.’ All the great ideas seemed to have happened over the last 6,000 years, while nothing worth mentioning happened prior to that time. Even most non-Christian historians adhere to this fact.
Even more interesting is that non-Christian historians claim that, while we were hunting and gathering for those million years, we were also evolving from monkeys (they could not explain why there are still monkeys), but, suddenly, some of the monkeys, for some unknown reason, started to look like men and developed a higher level of cognitive function than the other monkeys.
Apparently, the DNA of monkeys began to change right around the time that God created Adam and Eve. What an interesting coincidence.
These are the things that our ‘greatest minds’ would have us believe. If I did not know any better, I would think we were being played.
God informed us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, but it is hard to imagine that people can actually believe this nonsense. The people promoting this drivel should have been placed in a rubber room, not living in ivory towers and educating our children at taxpayer expense.
Sumer is considered to be the first ancient civilization to have existed on the earth. This is due to its remarkable innovations in language, government, architecture, farming, textiles, and all other manifestations of an advanced culture. It is currently thought to have been founded sometime around 4000 B.C. as the ‘hunter-gatherers,’ who completed their evolution from monkeys, began to populate the area.
These people congregated in the area of Mesopotamia at a time that the Bible claims Adam and Eve were created. This gathering of newly evolved people also appears to have occurred in the same location where the Bible indicates the creation of Adam and Eve occurred. What a remarkable coincidence.
According to most archeologists, nothing of note really started to happen until about 3200 B.C. Not surprisingly, this, too, is within the biblical timeline.
The oldest recordings of the Sumerian language appeared in the archeological records around 3100 B.C. It is believed that the Sumerians created the first form of writing, called cuneiform, and some of these writings exist to this day.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest piece of literature in recorded history. It was written in cuneiform and tells the tale of a great worldwide flood that was global in scope. According to the Bible timeline, the flood in Genesis occurred around 2300 B.C. The adventures of Gilgamesh are thought to have occurred after the flood around 2100 B.C. Another remarkable coincidence. It seems a pattern is developing here.
It is possible that the earliest tablet containing this story occurred around 2000 B.C., but the earliest full telling of this story occurred around 650 B.C. Moses is thought to have written the biblical flood account around 1445 B.C.
It is possible that the Sumerians recorded this story before Moses. However, it is clear that one is written from a pagan perspective, which believed in many gods, as opposed to the biblical perspective in which the writer believed in a single God. In any event, even a superficial reading of both stories shows that neither author relied on the other in the telling of this story.
The best explanation is that this story was told according to each author’s interpretation of an actual historical event. The coincidences in support of the biblical timeline just keep piling up.
When we look at the legal code, the oldest written laws are found in the Code of Er-Nammu and date back to about 2400 B.C. This begs the question of why it took so long for humanity to develop a legal code. We are led to believe that we were hunting and gathering while evolving from monkeys over a one-million-year period. Suddenly, and without warning, someone stands up and demands a legal code by which to live. All this, of course, occurs within the biblical timeline.
The coincidences just keep coming.
We can continue on with religious structures such as Ziggurats, reading, writing, arithmetic, and every other form of civilization. What we will find repeatedly is that every important innovation falls within the biblical timeline of 6,000 years.
Since the biblical timeline matches reality, we can now move to philosophy, which is another innovation that occurs within the biblical timeline. We have no record that anyone was philosophizing while they were still evolving from monkeys.
We know that it is scientifically and philosophically impossible for:
- Life to spring forth spontaneously, or accidentally, from lifeless matter.
- Order to arise spontaneously, or accidentally, out of chaos.
These two truths effectively eliminate evolution as a viable science and instead place it squarely in the category of pseudo-science. Life requires a God to originate it; there is no other legitimate explanation for its existence.
There is also no way through observation or experimentation to make a monkey evolve into a man, or vice versa. Each creature has its own genetic code that it stubbornly follows, with minor errors, that cause it to be what it was created to be.
We as Christians know that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
According to the evolutionists, there is no God. All there was in the beginning was an accidental ‘Big Bang’ that accidentally created life and then accidentally created order. This assertion is the same as putting all the components of a Timex watch into a bucket and shaking it until it forms a working Timex watch. This fact leads us to wonder how many billions of years it would take for that to accidentally happen.
Evolutionists assert that there is no God who loves us. Since there is no God, we have no standard to show us the true meaning of love. That leaves each of us with the unenviable task of defining love for ourselves with no guidance whatsoever. Since none of us can define love, this virtue cannot exist when God is rejected.
Since, according to evolutionists, there is no love, there is certainly no need for a God to send his only Son to die for us. There is no such thing as sin under this theory. Under evolution, the Gospel is as irrelevant as love.
What we believe is then rendered irrelevant. You can follow your own beliefs until someone with greater power tells you to believe in something else. Politically, a nation that believes in evolution is most likely to exist under a totalitarian government. Our personal beliefs are irrelevant under a tyrannical regime. If we live under an autocracy that promotes the myth of evolution, freedom of conscience no longer exists.
Finally, under evolution, there is no sense in worrying about eternal life. When you die, your body becomes worm food, and your life is forgotten. It is as if you never existed.
Evolution sure is a cheerful pseudo-science. It looks more like a doctrine of demons posing as a science. Not coincidentally, it contains all the assertions that a demonic creature might promote.
It is not by accident that the theory of evolution is promoted by those who believe in totalitarianism. There is no love, truth, or righteousness in a society that adheres to this sham of a theory. The only thing that is real is blind obedience to the State and whatever ‘truth’ it is promoting on a particular day. This is exactly what we see in nations like China and North Korea. It is also what we are seeing from our current leadership and its media lapdogs.
If any of this sounds Satanic, that is only because it is. Evil people desire those over whom they rule to believe that their lives are meaningless. Such people are pliable, easy to control, and even easier to dispose of. Once the idea of God is introduced into society, it is not long before that pesky yearning for freedom rears its ugly head. Therefore, all tyrants attempt to remove all vestiges of the biblical God from society.
Also, many people are drawn to autocrats because they have no faith, or have abandoned their faith, and desire to follow a powerful leader who will assuage their consciences. Such leaders lead them into false ideologies that they can turn to in order to deal with the guilt and shame of their immoral and sinful lives. They can live in any manner they choose just so long as they can have ‘faith’ in a false ideology promoted by the tyrant.
It is for this reason that Paul warned us about the terrible state of the human condition of the end times:
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths” (II Timothy 4:3-4).
Evolution is most certainly a myth that many people have wandered off into. It can be very appealing to those who are living a Godless lifestyle and cannot deal with the resulting pangs of conscience. This is why so many people are passionately drawn to other myths such as climate change, transgenderism, and the race cult.
Regarding climate change, those who put their faith in it do not have to worry about a righteous God who will not be mocked by their sin and faithlessness. In the cult of climate change, it is not our sin that is the problem but rather our freedom and prosperity that is causing human suffering. It is much easier to make sacrifices of our conveniences than it is to repent of the sins that have enslaved us.
Climate change is a lot like Lent. The main difference is that the ‘fasting’ is imposed on you by a totalitarian government, and it lasts a lifetime, not just 40 days. The people of North Korea can teach us a thing or two about ‘fasting.’
A good autocratic government understands this aspect of human nature and will gladly exploit its faithlessness for wealth and power. In the process, it leaves the people that it imposes it upon in destitution.
The new sex cult that champions homosexuality, gay marriage, and transgenderism fits in perfectly with the moral relativism of evolution. No longer are we perverts who are violating God’s law regarding sexuality; we are now evolving away from the old sexuality and becoming something even greater.
Apparently, becoming like Buffalo Bill in ‘Silence of the Lambs’ is not something that should horrify us. It is now our new ideal for sexuality. We are reaching for a greater form of consciousness rather than sinners who need to repent.
The race cult is similar to the cult of sexual perversion. Just as there is no such thing as a ‘transgender’ in reality, there is also no such thing as someone who is a different ‘race.’ We are called the human race for a reason. These ‘social constructs’ are tools for the demonic to use to ruin the reputations of people of faith or those who dare to exhibit common sense.
Under any of these ideologies, there is no such thing as love, truth, or righteousness. These ideologies are myths that were created to empower evil over good. As we have seen in this nation, they can be used most effectively to enslave a Godless and faithless population.
Proponents of these cultlike ideologies are supremely self-righteous even though they live in opposition to the holy prophets and the commandments of the Lord. The sad thing is that many of them are ‘churchgoers,’ but the church they go to is of the Laodicean variety. The Laodicean Church has rejected the Gospel, or has attempted to alter it so that its doctrines fall in line with the narratives of the Globalists.
We can learn a great deal about the doctrines of the Laodicean church and why it is so well respected among the heathen in the last days. The apostle Peter provides some greater detail of the doctrines of the dominant church in the end times. He writes:
“This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days [of the church age] with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
“They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his [Christ’s] coming? For ever since the fathers [of the faith] fell asleep [passed away], all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation. For they [who are dead in their sins] deliberately [of their own free will] overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water [there was no ‘Big Bang’] by the word of God [God created the heavens and the earth], and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged [by the flood of Noah] with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire [but not by climate change], being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly [as described in the Book of Revelation]” (II Peter 3:1-7).
(I have employed the exegetical method above of “Allowing God’s Word to Speak for Itself” rather than the overintellectualized method of the various forms of ‘Systematic Theology.’ The plain reading of Scripture, while taking a few reasonable liberties, is much more illuminating.)
We know that the dominant church at the end of the church age is represented as the church of Laodicea. The Laodiceans will surely be the ones who pose the question “Where is the promise of his coming?” to the faithful. It is easy to see why Jesus was outside of this church, patiently waiting for them to open the door, of their own free will, and come to repentance.
Instead, the Laodiceans cling to one false doctrine after another, taking comfort in their wealth rather than the faith that was offered to them. Those among them who believe in evolution, climate change, transgenderism, or engage in false accusations of ‘racism’ are indeed wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Fortunately, we are informed that God’s patience has its limits, and the representatives of the church of Laodicea in the modern age quickly puts an end to it. Peter continues:
“But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day [this fact should not be overlooked when considering the creation of the heavens and earth]. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness [by our standards] but is patient toward you [God draws us in patiently], not wishing that any should perish [even though God is Sovereign], but that all should reach repentance [of their own free will]. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief [at the rapture], and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved [Revelation 21:1], and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed [at the Great White Throne Judgment when the faithless are cast into the Lake of Fire]” (II Peter 3:8-10).
The church of Laodicea is a corpse. Those who are faithful would all be better off if its congregations would simply bury it and find a new religion. Its rotting carcass stinks to high heaven.
We are called to patiently endure the stench of its representatives until the Lord retrieves us. It is highly unlikely this ‘church’ is going to open the door to the Lord. So, hold your nose; we are almost there.
