On Racism, Evolution, and the Bible

When most people quote the works of Charles Darwin they will most often reference the book "On The Origin of the Species". Conveniently most people either leave out the rest of the title or else they simply do not know it. It goes like this:

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

The title changed to "On the Origin of Species" in the sixth edition. Darwin's book title unfortunately lends itself handily to the practice of racism among human-kind and has done so with many people like Hitler who famously taught that Jews were inferior enough to not even be considered human. Genocidal maniacs have oft quoted the standard evolutionary bias toward superior races or, as Darwin said, the "favoured" ones.

The Bible teaches a very different dynamic - one that embraces all of humanity under one racial umbrella. We are all products of one mating pair - Adam and Eve. All people, no matter their color or formation of the eye, have a common father and mother. There are no favored races since there really is only one race of people - the human race.

There is an interesting story in scripture which deals directly with racism. Moses had a black Ethiopian woman as his wife. Moses' siblings did not approve. An argument arose and here is how it went:

¶And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

Numbers 12:1

Moses' brother and sister were exhibiting some racism against Moses here for marrying a black woman from Ethiopia. What did God have to say about this? He wasn't pleased.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

Numbers 12:9

To further illustrate this point, Miriam became leprous right in front of them. Aaron begged Moses to have the LORD heal her an He did. It was a powerful lesson for them. The LORD despises racism because in the beginning God made two - male and female. All peoples everywhere are the product of the union between Adam and Eve. Racism is an unnatural attitude and is anti-biblical.

There is no reason why two people from any people-group an earth should not marry and produce children. Perhaps this world would be a lot less racist if we would embrace the truth about all of this instead of relying on evolutionary mythologies to validate racist ideologies held by tyrants and psychopaths. Neither the Bible nor biology supports it and it is time, once and for all, to dispose of this evolutionary tenet. It is evil - and God is not pleased.

Mercury's Fading Magnetic Field Fits Creation Model

ICR

Planets, including the earth, generate magnetic fields that encompass the space around them. Observations have shown that, like earth's, the planet Mercury's magnetic field is rapidly breaking down, and NASA's Messenger spacecraft confirmed that again earlier this year.

If the planets in the solar system are billions of years old, why do these magnetic fields still exist?

In 1974 and 1975, the Mariner 10 spacecraft measured Mercury's magnetic field strength with its onboard magnetometer and sent the data to earth. The astronomers analyzing the data at the time found that the average field strength was 4.8 x 1022 gauss cm3, which "is about 1% that of the Earth."1

A decade later, creation physicist D. Russell Humphreys published a magnetic field model based on clues from the Bible. He reasoned that earth and the planets all shared a watery beginning, in accord with Genesis 1 and 2 Peter 3:5.2 He calculated what the magnetic field strength would have been at the creation by using a mass of aligned water molecules equal to the masses of each planet.

Then, he plotted the rate at which the magnetic fields would have diminished over the roughly 6,000 years since. Humphreys wrote, "Electrical resistance in a planet's core will decrease the electrical current causing the magnetic field, just as friction slows down a flywheel."3 The resulting model accurately predicted the magnetic field strengths of Uranus and Neptune, as well as the declining strength of Mercury's field.4

In 2008, Messenger flew past Mercury and captured a magnetic field measurement, and Humphreys compared it with the decaying slope generated by his creation model. Sure enough, Mercury's magnetic field strength had diminished since 1974, right in line with the predicted value of the creation magnetic field model.

If Mercury's magnetic field is supposed to have lasted for many millions of years, then it should be very stable over vast time periods. But as Messenger's data show, researchers can measure its decay within a person's lifetime.

Humphreys wrote, "My predicted 4% decrease in only 33 years would be very hard for evolutionary theories of planetary magnetic fields to explain, but a greater decrease would be even harder on the theories."3 He anticipated more accurate 2011 measurements, which Science published on September 30.

The Science authors wrote that the field strength for Mercury is "~27% lower in magnitude than the centered-dipole estimate implied by the polar Mariner 10 flyby."5 This confirms that Mercury's magnetic field is rapidly diminishing, which in turn confirms that the field must only be thousands of years old—just as the creation model predicts.

The Fish and the Loaves still speaking today

Let's imagine, in the theatre of our minds, two Christians walking along the Holy Land and happening upon a large clearing. One of them notices something in the terrain. He bends over and discovers a fish bone. Upon further analysis he discovers that it's around two thousand years old. Not only that, but there was thousands of them scattered all over that area.
Now, imagine one Christian turning to the other and saying, "most of these fish appeared instantly in the arms of God as he held the near empty baskets and miraculously multiplied them". The other Christian might be tempted to say, "Well, that can't be right. It's scientifically impossible. There must be another explanation". The first Christian replies, "But it's in the Bible and ".”Ha!” says the second Christian, "you can't take the Bible literally. It just isn't scientifically possible and therefore it didn't really happen that way". What are we to make of this? Ridiculous, you say? Yet it is exactly what Christian evolutionists do with militant vigor every day on this and countless other blogs around the world.
The Bible has something to tell us about creation. The Christian evolutionists defer to science and come up with excuses that slap God in the face. God chose Moses to write down the creation story on his behalf so that we would have a solid foundation to stand on. So that we can look to heaven and say, I am not an animal. I am not the result of nature's choosing. I will not bow to the understandings of mortals. I will choose, by faith, to believe the account given to us in the book inspired by my creator. By doing that, I denounce any other and publically refute the high minded ideas that seek to exalt themselves above the truth in the public square.
From a scientific standpoint, those fish bones did not come from fish which appeared miraculously out of thin air. But those fish and those pieces of bread are crying out from the past and saying, "what happened with us will not be tested in a lab and proven to be true, but it did happen. It did happen".
God didn't pick a backward hick with a sun burned mind who had no clue where rain comes from to write down what he thinks happened according to popular culture. God picked Moses. He spoke one on one with Moses and told him the truth and Moses took dictation from God. It will not be tested in a lab and proven to be true but it did happen. It did happen.
This article was written to my brothers and sisters in Christ. To the rest of you I say that just because I believe what I believe by faith it does not mean you are correct in your scientific assessment of origins of any kind, whether cosmological or biological and I will continue to point these things out to the religious atheists as they make their deranged opinions public. God loves you, atheist. I used to be one of you. I was passionate about my atheism. I was wrong and so are you. For you to continue to be wrong into eternity is to be eternally wrong having wasted your time on earth trying to ignore at best the creator of the universe or at worst claim to know through evidence that there is no God. He is really there Mr. Atheist. He is looking at you right now. He knows why you do what you do and he loves you anyway.

God has been violating the laws of science since day one. Naturalism is not his method of operation. His method of operation is hearing the prayers of the saints and moving mountains to answer. Healing the sick when the doctors run out of answers. Sparing the home when the storm comes through. Protecting the teenager when the parents lose hope. Loving a person when all they deserve is hell.

Matthew 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
