Atheist Richard Leakey whines to media about resistance to "Evolution"

What do agnostic Richard Dawkins, atheist Richard Leakey, and dictator Barack Hussein Obama have in common? They're all from Kenya of course! Can anything good come out of that country?

MSNBC is reporting Richard Leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history.

"If you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it's solid, that we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive," Leakey says, "then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges".

Ok - we're good with that, and it's all quite sufficiently explained using the biblical model of a common created being fashioned by God only a few thousand years ago. Evolution theory gets no victory here. Leakey goes on in the article to blame humanity for what drives evolution - climate change - man made climate change no less.

"If you look back, the thing that strikes you, if you've got any sensitivity, is that extinction is the most common phenomena," Leakey says. "Extinction is always driven by environmental change. Environmental change is always driven by climate change. Man accelerated, if not created, planet change phenomena; I think we have to recognize that the future is by no means a very rosy one."

Wait - what? Evolution theory dictates (and depends entirely on) that all currently living organisms are the off spring of extinct predecessors. Even Darwin wrote this in "On The Origins of Species". Leakey would have us to believe that extinction is "always" driven by environmental change and that man created it?

It figures. Man-made climate change (anthropogenic global warming) is a known hoax. So it stands to reason that a theory (deep-time evolution) based on falsified evidence and circular reasoning should also get his stamp of approval. All of the actual evidence is easily explained using the biblical creation model.

"Leakey began his work searching for fossils in the mid-1960s. His team unearthed a nearly complete 1.6-million-year-old skeleton in 1984 that became known as "Turkana Boy," the first known early human with long legs, short arms and a tall stature". - article

Creationists have nothing to fear from the Turkana Boy. Turkana Boy is our distant relative. But this is not because we evolved from the apes, but because Adam is the common ancestor of both Turkana Boy and ourselves. We should welcome the opportunity to discuss the scientific evidence through a biblical lens. Although museums and the popular media trumpet this human Turkana boy skeleton as an icon of evolution, a careful investigation reveals that the scientific evidence fully supports the biblical account. See here.

Leakey has no problem with people having faith saying...

"I see no reason why you shouldn't go through your life thinking if you're a good citizen, you'll get a better future in the afterlife ...."

Wait - I wonder if Leakey has ever actually read the Bible. Being a a good citizen to get a better future in the afterlife is the exact opposite of the general message given in the Bible which teaches that humanity is entirely incapable of being a good enough citizen to gain any favor at all in the afterlife.This is important because in the articles online about this Leakey mentions the book of Genesis directly.

 "If you don't like the word evolution, I don't care what you call it, but life has changed. You can lay out all the fossils that have been collected and establish lineages that even a fool could work up. So the question is why, how does this happen? It's not covered by Genesis. There's no explanation for this change going back 500 million years in any book I've read from the lips of any God."

There it is - the hero of evolution teaching - millions of years. It's a circular presupposition which has been shown many times to have weak support. Yet it remains the number one pillar of evolution theory. Take it away and the whole atheist creation myth falls apart.

There are many scientists doing real science without ever invoking the atheist creation story. There are many scientists who could very happily debate Leakey and bring his theoretical house of cards crumbling into a heap of embarrassment on the floor. There are many scientists who could easily show Richard has wasted the vast majority of his life chasing proof that he will never find.

He mentioned some numbers in his interview. Sometime in the next 15 to 30 years, the Kenyan-born paleoanthropologist expects scientific discoveries will have accelerated to the point that "even the skeptics can accept it." That's an interesting timeline for Richard considering his age. Leakey is 67 years old. He only has 15 to 30 years to figure it all out before his own biological clock counts down to zero. Here's hoping he finds the real identity of his maker. Here's hoping he finds Jesus.
