Bold letters are mine. I believe in Macro creation wtih micro-evolution, if that makes sense. What disturbs me is that this has to be the worst ever editorial in defense of creationism. It is embarassing and Farah is not doing us any favors
Why I believe in Creation

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. How many listeners do you have? How many of them do you think are not Christians? Maybe that's why none 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. I'm sure that most of the people who take the time to write in are your readers, who are a self-selecting group
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.OK, fair enough but...
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. This is just silly. Absurd even. 5,000 years from now, should our ancestors assume that we had spider man and klingons simply because they are in our literature? Isn't it perfectly reasonable that a human who found a large tooth would dream up dragons?
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. Too bad we haven't found any fossils of two headed dinosaurs. The reality is that most of Dragon lore is of beasts that don't look like the dinosaurs that we have uncovered.
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? I'm not sure i fully beleive him, but I think it makes sense that A. Dinosaurs walked all over the earth. B. Man walked all over the earth later. C. The kinds of conditions that preserve dinosaur remain are also likely to preserve human remains.
And what about the not-so-unusual sightings of contemporary sea monsters? Some of them have actually been captured. What? See monsters have been captured? Where? This is what I'm talking about folks. You can not make claims like this without backup and not think that you are coming off like a total loon.
There are also countless contemporary sightings of what appear to be pterodactyls in Asia and Africa. What? WHAT? Where? When? Says who? FARAH, YOU MUST BACK-UP EXTRAORDIANRY STATEMENTS!
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. Any bill of good we have been solved was presented in a better manner that your claims that we have captured sea dinosaurs.
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. Maybe, but your pathetic illogic and lack of backing up your incredible statements is worse.
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. So anything that has been drawn must have once existed? Unicorns? Klingons? The crazy aliens that L. Ron Hubbard wrote about?
If I'm right about that – which I am – then the whole evolutionary house of cards comes tumbling down. Then please, where are these dinosaurs that we have captured and/or are still alive?
This is the evidence about which the evolutionists dare not speak.WHAT EVIDENCE?!

My God doesn't write foolishness in the Bible.
Why is it that creationists always charge their Christian brothers with apostasy, after losing a debate on the merits?
I consider creationism, from the actions of its proponents, to be a satanic heresy.
Who do you say he is? and what does that have to do with science?
If you cannot answer the question, don't try playing the wounded brother christian with me. That dog won't hunt.
I can answer the question, but see no reason to answer any more questions until you put some facts on the table that refute evolution.
Since that has not been done in 150 years, while the evidence for evolution continues to accumulate, I doubt if you have any arguments except ridiculing the beliefs of others.
If you really want to know who Jesus is, go to a real Christian church and ask the pastor.
I believe in the creator. Evolution doesn't contain any speculation about the creator. So, the whole debate is a strawman produced by the imaginings of Bible misinterpreters.
LOL That would be news to my Bishop.
Maybe your Bishop should read your posts in this thread.
I will send them to him. LOL Then we will all pray for you.
God is not mocked
Arguments with you are inevitably circular and therefore pointless. I should expect another "I bet you drink alot" freepmail next?
You generalize and complain about generalizations in the same post.
I believe in the Creator and have no problems with the Biblical history as written.
For years now, I have been patiently waiting for any scientifically valid evidence of the "Intelligent Design" theory to be presented.
So far, the evidence presented has been Zero!
Actually, there is a rather simple experiment that can be conducted:
1) Isolate multiple samples of rapidly multiplying organisms into different environments.
2) If "Intelligent Design" is correct, each and every organism will develop exactly the same.
3) If these organisms develop differently, according to their environment, then the theory of "Intelligent Design" will be demonstrated to be false.
This is an extremely easy experiment to conduct, and can be reproduced by anyone around the world. It can also be conducted under "double blind" conditions, where the evaluator's have no idea what the experiment is about.
You don't need to do the experiment. The results have already been shown in speciation in the natural environment, or with bacteria response to different anti-biotics.
Attack someone who cares what you think.
Stop mocking Him, then.
