MOMENTUM

In this age of the Internet, most people turn to Wikipedia for information. We use it ourselves from time to time. However, we’d like to emphasize that this online encyclopedia should be used with extreme caution, especially when looking up any topic touching on politics, religion or worldviews. Take, for instance, its article about “creationism”:

“Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in some form by a supernatural being or beings. However the term is more commonly used to refer to religiously motivated rejection of certain biological processes, in particular evolution, in favour of an interpretation of a creation myth as an explanation accounting for the history, diversity, and complexity of life on earth (the creation-evolution controversy).  In Christian sects such creationism is usually based on a literal reading of the creation myth found in the book of Genesis. Other religions have deity-led creation myths which are quite different.”

We’ve italicized certain phrases above to emphasize Wikipedia’s liberal, anti-biblical stance … and this is just in the first paragraph of a very long article. In contrast to what it calls the “creation myth,” Wikipedia describes evolution in a quite different way: “This powerful explanatory and predictive theory has become the central organizing principle of modern biology, directing research and providing a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.” In other words, biblical creation is a myth and evolution is true.

As the Conservapedia website quite correctly points out, Wikipedia “was initiated by two atheists: entrepreneur Jimmy Wales and philosophy professor Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. Despite its official ‘neutrality policy,’ Wikipedia has a strong liberal bias.”

And that liberal bias, as you can well imagine, turns into a bias against a biblical understanding of history and the world around us. For a shocking account of nearly 200 instances of Wikipedia’s liberal and anti-Christian bias, check out this well-footnoted article at Conservapedia: http://www.conservapedia.com/Examples_of_Bias_in_Wikipedia.

Don’t let the science establishment and the media fool you into thinking that creationism is a pseudo-science believed by only a handful of people. According to Gallup polls taken over a 26-year period, between 43% and 47% of Americans agreed with the creationist view that God created human beings pretty much in their present form within the last 10,000 years or so. Another 35% to 40% believe in other forms of creationism, including theistic evolution. But we’re not rejoicing over these figures. In fact, it’s the vast number of theistic evolutionists that reminds us at Creation Moments that we still have so much work to do!

As we’ve pointed out on previous occasions, theistic evolution is simply evolution wearing a more respectable suit of clothes. So while only 9% to 14% of Americans believe in godless evolution, when you add the 35% to 40% who believe in theistic evolution, you find that Darwinism is the predominant position in America today.

Evolutionists are confident they will eventually win the war of worldviews. After all, they are well funded. They control the mainstream media, public schools, colleges and the science establishment. And they are adept at silencing anyone in their own ranks who dares to disagree with them. That’s why those of us who believe in the authority of the Word of God need to boldly proclaim and defend biblical creation - not just to atheistic evolutionists but to theistic evolutionists as well. To help you do that, take advantage of the thousands of free resources at the Creation Moments website.

Imagine for a moment that you’re a student who wants to watch a video about God creating the heavens and the earth. You go to YouTube, enter the search term “creationism” and click the SEARCH button.

As you look at the first page of results, you discover that ALL of the videos are attacks on creationism. Apparently, atheists and Darwinists are busy with their evangelistic efforts. And they’re effective, judging from the fact that some of their videos have been viewed by over a million people. You see nearly 40 different videos under the headings “Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism” and “Evidence for Evolution and Against Creationism.” You also find a multi-part series titled “Why Do People Laugh at Creationists?” as well as videos with such titles as “Creationist Junk Debunked.” Where are the creationism videos?

So you enter a new search term: “anti-evolution.” Do you find creationism videos there? Nope. (more…)
