America Becoming an Atheist Nation? "No Way" Says One Man

On April 13 Yahoo news reported a story titled "The rise of atheism in America".

The number of disbelievers is growing, but they remain America's least trusted minority. Why?
How many atheists are there?
It depends on your definition of the term. Only between 1.5 and 4 percent of Americans admit to so-called "hard atheism," the conviction that no higher power exists. But a much larger share of the American public (19 percent) spurns organized religion in favor of a nondefined skepticism about faith. This group, sometimes collectively labeled the "Nones," is growing faster than any religious faith in the U.S. About two thirds of Nones say they are former believers; 24 percent are lapsed Catholics and 29 percent once identified with other Christian denominations. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, claims these Nones as members of his tribe. "If you don't have a belief in God, you're an atheist," he said. "It doesn't matter what you call yourself."
A new book scheduled for release next month is poised to change all of that. "The magic Man in the Sky" is destined to refocus the direction of the collective American worldview and possibly that of the world.

What if an Ancient Book written 3000 years ago predicted dozens and dozens of specific and detailed events in the future; amazingly and seemingly impossible events; yet they all came true?


What if many of those prophecies focused on a specific person called "God's Messiah" or the "Christ" - a coming one? And what if this was the only book in the world to speak of such a coming one and to give these details in prophecy fashion?

What if the prophecies about this coming one fortold such facts as

- The place of his birth.

- The exact location of his birth.

- That he would come out of Egypt.

- That he would begin his ministry in Galilee.

- That he would preform amazing miracles.

- An exacting formula for the very day he would present himself as Messiah (Dan 7).

- That he would be rejected and beaten.

- That he would be crucified (Psalms 22, Zechariah 12).

- That the very words used to mock him were recorded (Psalms 22).

- That they would gamble for his clothing under his cross (Psalms 22).

- That he would be ressurected before full 3 days had passed (Psalms 16).

And what if ALL those and many more specific prophecies like these were fulfilled in only one person who ever lived? Out of 7 billon people alive now and billions who lived before now - only one - just one single solitary human being has EVER fulfilled all the prophecies to the letter, every exacting detail. And what if, just what if history and these amazing books in the New Testament record the fulfillment of those prophecies? And what if the calendars of the world were changed to mark the fulfillment of these amazing and statistically impossible prophecies?

But what if this amazing and ancient book went on to prophesy that a singular nation, Israel, would be brought out of another nation, Egypt, and it would be established as the nation that God would use to bring into existence his Word, his prophets, his church, his Holy Spirit, and the Gospel? And yet first this nation would go into thousands of years of exile because it would be disobedient to God but that God would eventually bring this nation back and restore its language, borders, peoples, government, glory and power? And what if, down through thousands of years of recorded human history, all of this, every single bit of it, happened. What if we see it on your television set everyday and what if only one book in all the world ever made such astonishing statements and predictions, yet they all came true anyway? And what if God declared in that book, thousands of years ago, that when we saw these things happen we would know that he was God, and only he was God, and that this was in fact - His Word.

Would these things just be a coincidence? Mathematically impossible coincidences?

Or might you believe that this ancient book was somehow supernatural, inspired, maybe even the Word of God from the Spirit of God himself? The one who moved ancient men of God to pen the words that would reveal the Glory of God to us - especially us?

What might YOU believe about these things?

If there was just one other book in the world that even came close to these amazing truths we might look at it differently, but there is not one, not even ONE that even comes close. Why is that? Because THIS is the Word of the Living God and Yahweh is God and Jeshua is his Christ.

Yet with all this evidence and more, Richard Dawkins refuses to concede. His book, "The Magic of Reality", as boldly declared by those who reviewed it, seeks to indoctrinate children of all ages into the most closed-minded delusion imaginable.

Now a small town preacher is taking on Dawkins with a powerful new book called "The Magic Man in the Sky". It is a book heralded as a definitive expose on that which most people already know. Gallups proves the existence of God in this first of his works by using rational, clearly understood language and finally closes to door to the doubt which plagues so many because of people like Richard Dawkins.

So order your copy today. Get the book which, even before its release, has made it to number one in its category on Amazon. Do it now.

Small Town Preacher Goes Up Against Big Time Atheist

Carl Gallups, author of the book "The Magic Man in the Sky", asks the question - "What if?"

What if an Ancient Book written 3000 years ago predicted dozens and dozens of specific and detailed events in the future; amazingly and seemingly impossible events; yet they all came true?

What if many of those prophecies focused on a specific person called "God's Messiah" or the "Christ" - a coming one? And what if this was the only book in the world to speak of such a coming one and to give these details in prophecy fashion?

Carl Gallups Book Offers Antidote to Dawkins' Poisonous "Magic of Reality"

Creation Ministries International has just released a blisteringly honest review of Richard Dawkins' newest book which came out last year and will soon be released on Kindle.

Richard Dawkins’ latest book, The Magic of Reality (MOR), is quite unlike his previous works, not least because he would like children to read it. Certainly, there is little doubt that the colourful, eye-catching artwork of his collaborator and illustrator Dave McKean1 has enhanced its accessibility and considerably extended its reach. So, what kind of book is it? It’s a well-written, engaging, wide-ranging romp through all sorts of interesting questions about life and science. But, to borrow the words of nineteenth-century geologist Adam Sedgwick,

“From first to last it is a dish of rank materialism cleverly cooked up … . And why is this done? For no other reason, I am sure, except to make us independent of a Creator.”
According to CMI, "The Magic of Reality" is nothing more than a giant Bible-bashing hyperbole. Writing in London’s Financial Times, Neville Hawcock writes:

"Give me the child’, the Jesuit maxim is supposed to have run, ‘and I will give you the man’. But not if Richard Dawkins gets there first. The arch-atheist’s new book, The Magic of Reality, is designed to inoculate tender minds once and for all against the supernatural and its apologists.”
So between the two separate reviews of Dawkins' new book (CMI & FT) they have both come to the same remarkable conclusion: Dawkins is indoctrinating people and he's going after the young, the impressionable, your kids!

Funny how the name of Dawkins' book sounds strikingly similar to another book to be released very soon. "The Magic Man in the Sky" (WND Books) written by Carl Gallups is widely heralded by scholars and educators as a sound and solid refutation to all of Dawkins' ideas.

Having received stunning reviews by leaders of academia "The Magic Man in the Sky" will be, nay, is the antidote to the most closed-minded philosophy imaginable - atheism - with all of its tenets and presuppositions. Richard Dawkins' work is summarily dealt a death blow as Gallups systematically tears apart the naturalistic worldview and frees the mind of the delusion of modern atheism.

"The Magic Man in the Sky" will be a bulwark in your life and the lives of your loved ones against the onslaught of modern atheism sweeping college and university campuses and main stream media. And even though it's not a popular thought, there is a hell to shun and a heaven to embrace and ultimately to have a closed-minded zoologist talk you out of it will be no excuse. Order your copy today. Do it now.

Atheistic Evolution Theory Destroyed by Science - An Overview on Creationism

(photo - creation.com)

In the grand scheme of things, refuting any one particular transcendental belief system like Christianity over Islam is irrelevant unless one deals first with the foundations of modern materialistic atheism. In Mike Shoesmith's recent debate against four atheists it was evident that a great gulf of ignorance exists as to the very understanding of what atheism is on the part of the atheists themselves. A surprising amount of time was spent coaxing the four into finally admitting that modern naturalistic atheism is nothing more than the philosophy of naturalism - the positive assertion that nothing exists apart from nature. Once that definition is established, corralling the atheists into a very small cage, their position is easily refuted.

Logically speaking, atheism once intellectually defined is indefensible. It forces the adherent to eliminate even the remotest possibility that the supernatural exists. Such a fallacy, the converse fallacy of accident, makes such a leaping claim based solely on either the desire to be in control through intellectual means (nature can be carnally understood therefore nothing supernatural exists) or by virtue of a lack of experience extrapolated to the entirety of that which can be experienced - as though after dipping a cup into the ocean one declares that the contents of the cup are all that could ever exist, purposely ignoring the ocean directly in front of them.

The evidence, as pointed out by Richard Dawkins, is based almost entirely on biological evolution - atheism's 800 pound straw man. Because species within a kind are shown to change, adapt, or speciate over time this observation (predicted by the Bible coincidentally) has been co-opted into the atheist mindset to be proof that no gods are needed for life to exist. Essentially this is what we have going on here. As Dawkins has repeatedly said - "Evolution is the engine which drives modern atheism".

Yet if speciation, adaptation, or whatever one chooses to call it is the real topic of conversation then even the most hard-line creationist is an evolutionist. We as creationists do not deny the science - we embrace it. We know that speciation is real science because it has been and continues to be observed scientifically. Yet when we observe the reality of different species of equine or canine we simply look to the Bible and say "ah yes, just as Noah brought 2 of every kind onto the ark we can safely predict that all the species we see today would come from that event". All dogs, for example, come from a mating pair of wolves and when we examine the equine kind we see it hitting the reproductive barrier when horses mate with donkeys and produce the mule - a universally sterile creature.

Likewise for the hero of modern atheism - bacteria. When bacteria are observed to speciate over many generations because of natural influence it is heralded as proof of atheistic evolution yet what we are really observing is one form of bacteria becoming another form of bacteria without offering any reason at all to suggest a prediction that microbe-to-man evolution is even remotely possible. Not only is this postulation not science it is an insult to those who actually take science seriously.

Please watch this short video from chess-master and scientist Johnathan Sarfati explain in greater detail the connection between atheism and evolution.

The Atheist Delusion - Response to Richard Dawkins

This article is intended to be a reply to Richard Dawkin's book, "The God Delusion". It is my position that the following scripture prophecy is fulfilled in the religion of atheism along with the vehicle of the doctrine of biological evolution by natural selection with all species having a common ancestor

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Now, this prophecy is connected to the revelation of the "wicked" who gets his revelation from Satan. The religion of atheism is spreading like wildfire across Europe and N. America thanks to apologists like Dawkins and Hitchens. In my extensive conversations with atheists and my personal experience trapped in the religion of atheism I have come to the sad realization that atheists have tasted of the fruit of the tree of elitist intellect worship and because of high sounding words and sophisticated nuance of ideas, ideology and idolatry of self they have entered into the paradigm of unbelief and dissatisfaction with faith in the unseen creator. They reject the truth of creation by miraculous intervention because the five senses are robbed of their stamp of approval and the fallen mind refuses to bow to the reality of the superiority of the spiritual realm where all created things have their origin.

Dawkins, Hitchens, and their underlings have taken over academia and converted once Godly institutions into halls of indoctrination for the sensual crowd. True knowledge has been thrown out the proverbial window in favour of the pool of pseudo-knowledge which, as the prophecy points out, is a deep trench of delusion and deceit.

Atheism is a religion. It has its places of worship, doctrines, and apologists. Sure, it denies the existence of God but so does Buddhism which is, as most people agree, a religion. As for doctrine, it has become increasingly obvious that there are definite articles of doctrine that are woven through the faith structure of atheism. They include but are not limited to cannibalism, fatalism, evolution, elitism, and more. Tactics that seem to be incorporated into their apologetics is blunt arrogance, verbal harassment, and belittling gestures. They have unwavering allegiance to the "theory" which has been drummed into them as scientific method but resembles cult-like personality worship.

It is also apparent that these persons have a God given gift of intellect and are trapped in the delusion. It is very enjoyable to engage them and it is impressive to watch the levels of game play they are capable of. At the same time, however, the counterpoint to their argument goes miscomprehended due to the delusion. It is sort of like the day the U.S. Army went into Baghdad, Iraq. There he was, the press secretary for Saddam Hussein, affectionately know as "Baghdad Bob", denying that the U.S. Forces had entered the capital and in the background of the video the whole world could see U.S. Army tanks rolling through town. That's what it's like debating someone trapped in the delusion of atheism. All of their arguments are contained within the delusion. They say things like "well, you wouldn't be so retarded if you went to this website or read this article or that book". As though the act of entering the delusion along with them will better enable me to know the truth when it is precisely those types of apologetics that have them trapped.

The delusion is like a bubble. It seems to trap people who have disappointments in life of varying degrees in conjunction with a higher than average desire to figure things out intellectually. They relate to the apologists of atheism in that they are offered a remedy to the confusion of existence. They are told they are, like the power supply in the Matrix, unspectacular, not unique, and no greater than any other "animal". How sad.

There's more to be said about this. I've really only just begun. Dawkins and Hitchens' books demand a response. The church is the voice of God. Moses represented a type of the Body of Christ. God said to Moses, "You are my voice. I made your mouth. You will speak for me". Let the church rise up in these days and give an account for their hope and refute the high-minded ideas that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God; the only knowledge that has the real power to set men free.
