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.
Its been known for over 100 years that matter and energy interchange, but it didn't become repetitively possible until the 1930s. (Hiroshima left no further room for doubt)
Even if I had a "raging hard on" about the literal nature of the Bible, that still would not make your statements true. The bible, taken "literally" does not teach what you assert it does. Sorry if it pisses you off, but you simply do not know what you are talking about.
I never even mention Carbon 14 .... That is correct. You did not. I made that assumption, and if I am wrong, I apologize. The method of determining an age is not the key. Why don't you post the method you used and we can talk from there? It is not relevant to the criticism, but I did make a mistake in assuming.
It is customary on Free Republic to provide an indication of sarcasm when posting same.
If this isn't sarcasm, God help you.
You’re not smart enough to understand.
Post #395 "Evolution Happens."
I'll be waiting for the presentation of some real evidence. Please spare me from the cartoons.
You admit you had trouble with introductory astronomy, you don't mention any other scientific training, and then you demand to see the "some real evidence" for evolution.
What makes you think you are qualified to understand and evaluate that evidence? Science is hard, and requires years of study to attain competence.
It appears more likely that your religious belief has provided you with answers contrary to what science has come up with.
Perhaps you should just admit that your religious belief operates in one realm, while science operates within another.
(See tagline for the rest of the post:)
Wrong 4,000 years ago according to the fossil record there were more species than there are today.
Wrong the Bible states that all Human language originated when God cast down those people building the tower of Babel. At least according to your Bible.
So you don’t know anything about climate 4,000 years ago nor do you know anything about how humans lived then so you can’t make a statement. I do know how humans lived and have studied bodies of Humans who lived in that time frame and they did not live hundreds and hundreds of years.
God didn’t make those mistakes that’s why god has made a fool of you. Man made those mistakes when he sought to write down the word of god and failed. The Old testament is an allegory and to take it as a serious literal truth is a mistake.
Since you have obviously reported me to try and get me zotted off this forum after you personally attacked me first I see little point in debating with you. Maybe I should report you? Oh yeah I’m bigger than that.
Glad you agree.

Sure thing. Out here in the country we learn all about evolution as kids.
Here's one surefire experiment that will convince you that evolution really happens!
Take an earthworm. skewer it to a hook with a long string attached. Tie the string to a branch and throw the worm in a creek. Come back in a couple hours and you will discover the worm has evolved into a fish!
Don't believe it?
Just try it, it will absolutely blow your mind!
Want more proof?
Just ask and I'll tell you how to evolve a kitten into a coyote!
Hmmmm. Same here.
Average age of death was probably closer to 25-30 years for the individuals I have studied. The demographics are totally different, with relatively few individuals living into the 50+ range.
Compared to earlier populations, folks living today have the longest average lifespans seen so far.
Think! Can't you think?!
Well I don’t see how they can explain away something like half-fosslized dinosaur bones such as were found in AK and Montana?
Or the fact that they found what many have confirmed as dried dino blood? Did these survive for how ever millions of years..?
I though DNA breaks down in H20?
Or what about “soft bodied parts of other fossils found?
Millions of years old..? I don’t think so..
I’d like ONE evolutionist (maybe even the rabid coyoteman to explain away this (And mind you there is no “hoax” here, these results have been confirmed by Secular University Chemists1
I never report ANYONE for ANYTHING. I don’t believe in it. What are you talking about?
If you wanted a reply from me, you perhaps you should have pinged me.
And perhaps you should not have referred to me as "the rabid coyoteman."
You’re right (Seriously I Apologize)!
(I am not being sarcastic)
shouldn’t have said that about you, I have was wrong!!
Anyway, seriously I would like to discuss this issue with you, if you would like.
