Why I believe in Creation

Why I believe in Creation Posted: December 17, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern

I was stunned the other day when I asked evolution-believing listeners to my nationally syndicated radio show to call in and tell me why they believed.

"Just give me one reason why you accept the theory," I said. "Just give me the strongest argument. You don't have to give me mountains of evidence. Just tell me why I should accept it."

Not one evolutionist called in.

Meanwhile, the phone banks lit up with dozens of evolution skeptics.

Go figure. For more than 40 years, evolution has been taught as fact in government schools to generations of children, yet there is still widespread skepticism, if not cynicism, about the theory across the country.

But, because of political correctness and the fear of ostracism, most people are afraid to admit what they believe about our origins. That's why I wrote my last column – "I believe in Creation."

The reaction to it has been unprecedented. While I expected mostly negative fallout, most letters have been quite positive.

So, I decided to take this issue a step further. Since the evolutionists don't want to tell me why they believe in their theory, I figured I would explain why I believe in mine.

The primary reason I believe, of course, is because the Bible tells me so. That's good enough for me, because I haven't found the Bible to be wrong about anything else.

But what about the worldly evidence?

The evolutionists insist the dinosaurs lived millions and millions of years ago and became extinct long before man walked the planet.

I don't believe that for a minute. I don't believe there is a shred of scientific evidence to suggest it. I am 100 percent certain man and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. In fact, I'm not at all sure dinosaurs are even extinct!

Think of all the world's legends about dragons. Look at those images. What were those folks seeing? They were clearly seeing dinosaurs. You can see them etched in cave drawings. You can see them in ancient literature. You can see them described in the Bible. You can see them in virtually every culture in every corner of the world.

Did the human race have a collective common nightmare? Or did these people actually see dragons? I believe they saw dragons – what we now call dinosaurs.

Furthermore, many of the dinosaur fossils discovered in various parts of the world were found right along human footprints and remains. How did that happen?

And what about the not-so-unusual sightings of contemporary sea monsters? Some of them have actually been captured.

There are also countless contemporary sightings of what appear to be pterodactyls in Asia and Africa.

You know what I think? I think we've been sold a bill of goods about the dinosaurs. I don't believe they died off millions and millions of years ago. In fact, I'm not at all convinced they've died off completely.

Evolutionists have put the cart before the horse. They start out with a theory, then ignore all the facts that contradict the theory. Any observation that might call into question their assumptions is discounted, ridiculed and covered up. That's not science.

How could all the thousands of historical records of dragons and behemoths throughout mankind's time on earth be ignored? Let's admit it. At least some of these observations and records indicate dinosaurs were walking the earth fairly recently – if not still walking it today.

If I'm right about that – which I am – then the whole evolutionary house of cards comes tumbling down.

This is the evidence about which the evolutionists dare not speak.

Sad isn’t it? Yet there are so many on FR who’ll believe anything that requires them not to think or question.

Heck, I’ve got a flock of pterodactyls up in my woods right now.

Wait, maybe they’re wild turkeys.

Saw one on television live from the US Senate floor this week. Was the dreaded Teddyasaurus. The thing was HUGE! Looked capable of devouring the entire nation. Usually kept in a sedate state with lots of booze.

Logic would suggest that most of the listeners are evolution skeptics.

A bit like asking the posters at DU why G W Bush is a good President.

Well some of the dinosaurs evolved into birds, so he’s unintentionally correct.

I think there are more 'scientists' that claim to be evolutionists, to protect their position(s) in whatever institution that pays them, than there are 'scientists' that claim to be creationists.

Should I be correct, the 'large number of scientists' that claim to be evolutionists becomes a more equal percentage of all scientists ... validating the polarization of thought process that is a 50/50 split.

There is no up unless there is a down .. no left without a right, no in unless there is an out to compare and contrast.

Evolutionists don't want a GOD ... creationists do.

It's really that simple.

They're both religions.

I especially liked the part where he wanted to know why he should believe mountains of evidence.

Unfortunately, at this point in time, the President may now have more fans at DU than FR.

“There is no up unless there is a down “

There are two sides to every piece of flypaper, too. But the fly had better be very careful on which side he lands.

Do these nut cases even know what “ Theory’ means?
Hint:....best evidence. Repeat, best evidence.

It is wrong about the global flood.

Early geologists (creationists trying to prove the global flood) gave up about 1830. The evidence since then has accumulated -- there was no global flood about 4350 years ago.

Huh, my uncle who is a geologist (PhD) says there WAS a global flood.
