MOMENTUM

If you’re not already a member of the Creation Moments Facebook group, you’re missing out on some great discussions! For instance, teacher April Schulthies recently shared some thought-provoking comments on Richard Dawkins and other atheistic evolutionists who find great pleasure in attacking God. Check it out … then visit our Facebook group to see a whole lot more!

***************

Atheists attack the one true living God as vicious and evil without even bothering to find out that He’s the defense of the weak and the downtrodden. Dawkins knows very well that his followers are too lazy to do their research. His God Delusion book describes the God of the Bible as the worst monster to hit the universe. In an interview I saw, Dawkins relished reading this diatribe against Jesus, but when he was asked if he wanted to comment on any of the other “gods” of any of the world’s religions, he dismissed them out of hand.

Why, I ask, would Dawkins go after the God of the Bible, Jesus Christ, but have no interest in attacking any other so-called “gods” if he didn’t know exactly what he was doing?

Am I saying that Dawkins knows in his heart that Jesus Christ is the one true living God? You bet. It’s obvious, because Jesus is his only target.

Dawkins rips apart the God of the Bible every chance he gets, calling him a blood-thirsty villain. Here’s one example:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

This statement exploits people’s ignorance. Anyone who has read the Bible knows that the Lord God of Israel is meek and lowly, the hope of the helpless, a father to the fatherless, a defender of the defenseless. God is no respecter of persons. He is a shield to those who place their trust in him. He will, it is true, remove his support from the wicked if they refuse to repent, but what else would you expect from a just God?

It’s unbelievable what you see on these evolutionist blogs. And the people evidently believe their own diatribe. If Jesus really was in the smallest particle the unmerciful God they make him out to be, the earth would have long ago opened up and swallowed them alive, just to wipe out the ignominy of such ingratitude and hatred.

Truly the Lord is good to even those who are evil, giving them a chance to mend their ways. Otherwise, the evolutionists I’ve encountered in blogs would not be around to blaspheme and spread lies.

In November, leaked files came to light - including more than 1,000 emails and nearly 3,000 documents - that provided abundant evidence of falsification of data among the scientists who are at the forefront of promoting the theory of global warming. Alleged guilty parties include Phillip Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and his assistant, Keith Briffa; Michael Mann at Pennsylvania State; Malcolm Hughes at the University of Arizona; Kevin Trenberth at the National Center for Atmospheric Research; James Hansen at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies; and James Holdren, President Obama’s new “Science Czar.” The authenticity of the leaked emails and documents has been verified by Phillip Jones, Kevin Trenberth and others.

Now that global warming has been exposed as a politically motivated hoax supported by fraudulent science, Creation Moments would like to share three conclusions that are relevant to the discussion over creation and evolution.

First, “Climategate” reveals once again that scientists are more than willing to lie about the facts if it furthers their agenda. In the case of global warming, scientists at the University of East Anglia - along with their colleagues in the U.S. - falsified their data to “prove” global warming. Significantly, there is abundant evidence that evolutionary scientists are doing the very same thing. They routinely discard data that fails to support Darwinism. In fact, countless studies are stopped when they are seen to be heading in the “wrong” direction.

Second, the CRU scientists collaborated to prevent qualified scientists who disagreed with them from publishing or participating in the peer-review process. As one news source said, “The belief in Global Warming among scientists is not a consensus; it is a dictatorship.” This is also a common practice in the creation-evolution area. Just ask any creation scientist how difficult it is to publish a paper in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Third, many scientists involved in global warming research have themselves been duped by the leaders of the global warming community. We wonder how those sincere scientists will respond now that global warming has been exposed as a hoax. Will they abandon this false science or just close their eyes to the truth? Well, if they are anything like evolutionary scientists, we suspect that they’ll close their eyes. After all, they don’t want to lose their government grants, their jobs, their tenure or their standing in the scientific and academic communities.

We also suspect that global warming advocates in the government and in the media will attempt to discredit “Climategate” and sweep it all under a rug. After all, to those who have a monetary and political interest in keeping global warming alive, facts are irrelevant … just as they are for scientists who have a stake in Darwinism.

Those are our thoughts. What are yours?
