In fact, they probably helped Noah build the ark. If you've never heard that before, then it's time you realized something: The government is funding a religion called evolution that has totally screwed up the Christian worldview, resulting in confusion and ignorance. If the creation account in Genesis and the theory of evolution have been nothing but a source of frustration for you, you are not alone. But you are in danger. God is not the author of confusion. If Christians are feeling confused by evolution, they should trust that God has an answer. However, finding that answer may take some effort. Satan has influenced our country with evolution, which is falsely labeled as science. We need to expose ourselves to the scientific world and learn what is going on. We can no longer live in ignorance. People all over the country are abandoning their faith based on "scientific" claims made by biased scientists, journalists, teachers and, "gasp," the Vatican. The claims of evolutionists are not scientific at all. The definition of science requires hypotheses to be testable. Because evolution is not repeatable or testable, it is therefore not provable. If it is not provable, then it is not scientific fact but a theory dependent on faith, a religion. Aside from the fact that evolution is a religion, we can see evidence in nature that negates indirectly the possibility of evolution taking place. For example, radio-polonium halos inside of granite. The radioactive form of polonium has a very short half life -- less than three minutes. Granite is thought to have cooled over millions of years. However, evidence of radioactive polonium in granite proves this impossible. We need to be educated about the world's origin. Someone is going to ask you about evolution one day, and you're going to do one of three things: Listen to arguments in favor of evolution and be converted. Tell him it's wrong "because my Bible says so!" Tell him about the inaccuracies of carbon dating and the problems with the fossil record. Explain that Lucy, the famous skeleton who "proves" evolution, is a fraud. We must learn this information. We cannot allow the lies of evolution to stand as disqualifiers of our faith in the Creator. Satan is throwing his flaming darts, and we must be ready with a defense.
