Every so often I read a book that just blows me away.A book written by a non-Christian who happens to fall right into line with my way of thinking even though I try to line up my ideas with the motto “how would Jesus think about this.”A few years ago it was a book by Richard Milton entitled Shattering The Myths of Darwinism.Today it is a book by David Stove entitled Darwinian Fairytales:Selfish Genes, Errors of Heredity, andOther Fables of Evolution.When I say both books are a hilarious read and will split your sides that is an understatement!You will be rolling on the floor, trust me!
And both claim to be non-religious.Both claim they are merely students of Darwinian evolution and have found it wanting in truth and full of errors i.e., a false theory.Their case will make any intelligent creationist take note.
In fact, Richard Milton is so bold as to take on the age of the universe and finds the universe a lot younger than the stated 13.5 billion years.Milton says, “using Libby’s own data, the age of the atmosphere is around 10,000 years.”
But listen to this from Milton:“In one of the most recent cases of anomalous dating, rock paintings found in the South African bush in 1991 were analyzed by OxfordUniversity’s radiocarbon accelerator unit which dated them as being around 1,200 years old.This finding was significant because it meant the paintings would have been the first bushman painting found in open country.However, publicity of the find attracted the attention of Joan Ahrens, a Capetown resident, who recognized the paintings as being produced by her in art classes and later stolen from her garden by vandals.”
The 1,200-year-old rock painting should have been dated closer to 1975 A.D., a minor difference of 1,170 years!
But Stove, a professional philosopher from Australia who died in 1994, takes on Charles Darwin and his Origin of Species point after point until even an honest Darwinianist would have to ponder the evidence once again for the theory of evolution.
Stove makes it clear that before Darwin could publish his theory he had to distance it from the French free thinkers who were parading evolution around and about the French Enlightenment and French Revolution period.Darwin could not afford to awaken the hostility of the “religious” elements in England and therefore had to make sure that French atheism was not tattooed to his theory.It reality the religious elements in England swallowed his theory before the scientific community.
With Darwin marrying his theory of survival of the fittest (“the battle for life”) and natural selection to the theories of Thomas Malthus in Essay on Population (1798) (population rises or falls according to the food source) Stove has a field day.None of Malthus’ theory survives today and in fact, the present falling population of Europe has nothing to do with the availability of food.Stove wants to know why Darwin’s theory still hangs around since Malthus’ theories have been deep-sixed.
Stove also wants to know why few are noting the relationship between Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest and the robber-baron capitalists who “scientifically” justified their ruthless acquisitiveness.He also wants to know why hardly anyone is pointing out the relationship between Darwin, Hitler and Stalin.Nazi and Communist crimes can all be traced directly to Darwin’s theory.In fact, Hitler criticized Christianity because it was in rebellion against nature!Nature being Darwin’s theory of natural selection, which works every hour of every day to bring about earth’s “favored races.”

On Darwin & Hitler:
Hitler got his ideas from Martin Luther
"Alas, it cannot be anything but the terrible
wrath of God which permits anyone to sink into
such abysmal, devilish, hellish, insane baseness,
envy, and arrogance. If I were to avenge myself
on the devil himself I should be unable to wish
him such evil and misfortune as God's wrath
inflicts on the Jews, compelling them to lie and
to blaspheme so monstrously, in violation of
their own conscience. Anyway, they have their
reward for constantly giving God the
lie."--Martin Luther
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord
and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man
who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few
followers, recognized these Jews for what they
were and summoned men to fight against them and
who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer
but as a fighter. In boundless love as a
Christian and as a man I read through the passage
which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His
might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How
terrific was His fight for the world against the
Jewish poison."--Adolf Hitler
"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."--Adolf Hitler
"Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them."--Martin Luther
---
"Hitler's Germany amalgamated state with church. Soldiers of the vermacht wore belt buckles inscribed with the following: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us). His troops were often sprinkled with holy water by the priests. It was a real Christian country whose citizens were indoctrinated by both state and church and blindly followed all authority figures, political and ecclesiastical.
Hitler, like some of the today's politicians and preachers,
politicized "family values." He liked corporeal punishment in home and school. Jesus prayers became mandatory in all schools under his administration. While abortion was illegal in pre-Hitler Germany, he took it to new depths of enforcement, requiring all doctors to report to the government the circumstances of all miscarriages. He openly despised homosexuality and criminalized it."

--------
"However, they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so clumsily and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it. But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God's wrath."--Martin Luther
"The ignorance of the broad masses about the inner nature of the Jew, the lack of instinct and narrow-mindedness of our upper classes, make the people an easy victim for this Jewish campaign of lies."--Adolf Hitler
"First, that their synagogues be burned down, and that all who are able toss in sulphur and pitch; it would be good if someone could also throw in some hellfire. That would demonstrate to God our serious resolve and be evidence to all the world that it was in ignorance that we tolerated such houses, in which the Jews have reviled God, our dear Creator and Father, and his Son most shamefully up till now but that we have now given them their due reward."--Martin Luther
"The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties-- and this against their own nation."--Adolf Hitler Click here to reply to this post

For the record, Martin Luther's venom against Jews was because of their rejection of the Gospel. This is not to excuse it, but it had nothing to do with racism, racial superiority, racial cleansing, or evolution of favored races. For that we can thank Darwin and Darwin's disciples, like Hitler. You can't just line up quotations the way you did and establish a cause and effect relationship. Hitler was raised a Catholic. Does anyone know for sure that he read or was even the slightest bit concerned with anything Luther had to say? Neither did Luther condone murder, extermination camps and the like, although it's easy to glibly scapegoat him as the inspiration behind those jack-booted murderers and maniacs who came along 400 years later. Hitler was no Christian, but he used religion and religious verbiage to appeal to the masses and to give his nutty ideas credibility. Click here to reply to this post

And im afraid your mistaken, Darwins theory about natural selection caused all comunisum in china, russia, cuba, etc. Black segregation, ie slavery in america as well. We all are brothers , read your bible. The worlds aprox 6000 years old. We didnt evolve and on darwins death bed he said to his physicaian and family, Im afraid i waisted my life and devoted it to a lie. Extremely Eye opening hey. If you want to talk further email me.

It's pathetic, isn't it, when even unbelievers can see through the idiocy of evolutionary theory, and some who call themselves Christians cannot.
This can only be attributed to our secular humanist educational system, which is very effectively brainwashing our children to think it is naive and ignorant to believe in a Creator. And they call this training "critical thinking"; this selective criticism denigrates only those who believe "God created the Heavens and the Earth".
This was a good article which exposed a few of the myriad arguments against Darwinism and macro-evolution. We who are concerned about the lack of knowledge in the church would like to see more articles exposing the Theory of Evolution for what it is...a colossal lie. Click here to reply to this post

Yep! You got it. It is hard to take back a mind/soul already programmed with sewage. We use so much Church resource to get the older ones half-way believing us and our various Christian disseminations. Yet we let the young shoots lose to try to survive without our Godly wisdom and admonition. No wonder they grow up twisted and confused.
And if WE DO happen to be able to guide a young one in the way of the Lord for a few years, we then later 'cut the rip-cord', kick them out of the plane and say: happy college-landings.
Say Yes to Christianity: say No to Eduanity!

Hello
I must take issue with the way the term "survival of the fittest" is used in this article. Fitness in biological terms is measured as the ability of an organism to have progeny who themselves go on to do the same, those most sucessful being the fittest.This has nothing to do with being the strongest, most selfish etc...it does have to do though with being best adapted to an enviroment in which the organism resides and has charateristics best suited to carry out this task(and which can be inherited). The spin you put on this term is your own and is not the correct interpretation of it.

I must agree with the above. Natural selection and evolution are not synonymous. Many a creationist believes in natural selection. Whereas, the theory of evolution is total bunk. It is so nice, however, to finally see some of those within the scientific community realize how ridiculous carbon dating and "billions of years" are. About as absurd as social Darwinism.
