Book Review: Refuting Evolution 1&2

 

As we can see from the picture we are considering Jonathan Sarfati two-part work on the dangers of Evolution. Let me just say upfront that these most valuable books on the subject in question and discussion. It should be said that for any idea to be established in science that has to have a rigorous testing to note of its validity; but there lies the problem: Evolution is assumed and still left unprovable. The evidence is circumstantial at best and  demonstrably misrepresented at worst. There is nothing more fallacious than what we are continually told: "the evidence has proven evolution to be true"  but in reality the evidence forced to fir a theory that has a lot of holes in it.  I simply ask: were you there at every stage of this process? Indeed the only answer to that is NO. 

Now these two books are important in our quest for the truth of this matter. The first one was put out in 1999 and the second one was put out in 2002.

In the introduction to the first volume, it states that it was written to refute National Academic of sciences (NAS) who published a book called 'teaching about Evolution and the nature of science.' And he seeks to put forth a more accurate understanding of the issues involved which that original work misrepresented. In the second volume, it states that it was written to refute a PBS-TV programme called evolution and scientific America  paper called '15 answer to creationist nonsense' In the same vain he wanted the truth to be known and understood. And if there is one thing that can be said it is a well argument master-piece. And we can learn a lot about the different Evolutionary tales and myths that in existence. 

I would like to point to the Appendices of the 2nd volume as they are important additions: (1) common arguments for evolution that have been rejected. This has three main arguments.  (2) common arguments for creation that should not be used.  This has eleven main arguments. 

I would recommend these two volumes for all Christians to read.

The insidious Gnosticism in Feminism

This title may be a little confusing because it is strange concept; yet I believe it is correct.  Now what Do I mean?  Let me explain:  Preliminary thought While what can be called "classical feminism" had an aim; no matter how misguided it may have been as what it was trying to fight for was a good thing just that it never needed to do such a thing; in the first place.  There had always been equality for the sexes due to the Christian faith-- just not identical rights-- for both men and women were equal before God in all thing pertaining to the faith. However, this equality did not rule  distinctive trait that defined each sex rather worked to enhance those wonderful points.  let me ask this:  did women gaining the vote ever do any good to society?  my answer is simple: NO.  the good it may have done was far overshadowed by the evils that were to seep through because of it being a slippery slope. for example: the vote was the catalyst to the dysfunction and utter break-down

Book Review: something must be known and felt.

  Here we have a book which should be taken seriously by all serious minded Christians; who if they are are protestant in their thinking must always be willing to adapt their current understanding on doctrinal truths and practical issue (think of 'sempre-reformanda' which means always reforming). And if this were taken seriously then it should always welcome deeper understanding on certain issues. Let us always be of this frame of mind:  we should never say that the previous generations was in error; but that because of certain things being put in the spot light; therefore, many other areas which are equally important did not get as much coverage-- they were either taught upon in a foundational manner or simply assumed to be agreed upon. And this is the case at every high period of Church History. And it means some points will eventually have their moment at a later date. Take note of these words from Stuart Olyott . He writes: "In true Christianity God's revealed trut

The problem that Christians face.

  What is the primary thing that is consistently destroying the life of the ecclesia?   It is the institutional usurpation of the way things were meant to be carried out in the body of Christ. Let me make this point clear-- for much of the last 1800 years (but more so, from 325ad onwards) everything that we assume to be the correct manner is not only error; it is a danger to the health of the church.  In other words, the hierarchical system has no scriptural bearing.  The church as it was brought into existence through Christ and His Spirit by means of His apostles was an organic reality and not an institutional system. Take note of the following passages and tell me that what we have today in Evangelicalism (Today: institutional Christendom)  is what Christ put in place.  Paul teaches us that the function of the church is an internal all body dynamic-- and that all believers are to be participants and not spectators of some grand show: "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the
