National Geographic is wrong and so was Darwin
by Dr. Terry Mortenson, AiG-USA

NG admits that nearly half of Americans don't believe in evolution, due
in part to "Scriptural literalism" [really, it's simply believing God's
plain word]

As the world famous astrobiologist, Paul Davies, says:

It's a shame that there are precious few hard facts when it comes to the
origin of life. We have a rough idea when it began on Earth, and some
interesting theories about where, but the how part has everybody stumped.
Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organised
themselves into the first living cell.2

"...the fact that post-Flood people would have intentionally (and sometimes
unknowingly) taken plants and animals to different parts of the world as
they repopulated the earth. "

This is not surprising, given the problems with chemical evolution to
explain life's origin, and the key role of genetic information in the making
of living creatures. Dr Werner Gitt is a leading German scientist and
young-earth creationist who is an expert on information theory. In his
powerful, tightly reasoned book, In the Beginning was Information, he
argues, "There is no known law of nature, no known process and no known
sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in
matter."3

So the evolution theory is in big trouble right from the beginning.

IOW, they reject evolution not because of scientific reasons, but because
of
dogma.

Have you ever heard of a creationist who didn't believe in the bible? If
there were no such thing as the bible, would anyone still reject
evolution?
If not, that's proof that it's the bible, not science, that motivates the
creationists.

"We don't know", therefore goddidit. Can you say "non sequitur" or
"special
pleading"?

Yawn. How many times do people have to tell these fanatics that evolution
is about the development of life, not its creation. And that there is
nothing from stopping someone from believing that a creator created life
and that evolutionary theory explains the development of that life after
its creation?

What kind of wally tries to refute a branch of science by attacking
something that branch of science doesn't try to deal with?

This fellow does not claim revelation, but I do. I have seen while
caught
up, face to face, and I know there is a God, for I beheld.

FIRST VISION





While journeying on foot about 10:00 P.M. in the east, being inducted
into
the armed forces the next day, being on the way to the bus station to
travel
to the armed forces induction station in Raleigh, N.C, I re­ceived the
following vision, while on the road on foot:



December 29, 1969, while enwrapted in a heavenly vision, It seemed
that
I, Art Bulla, was removed out of my body, or whether in the body or out of
it I could not tell, and I be­held his face, and He spake unto me face to
face as one man speaks unto another for forty-five minutes or an hour, and
whet­her in the body or out of it, I could not tell, for I beheld his
glory,
which surpasses all under­stand­ing, and spake while in the vi­sion, in a
much better tongue than any spoken by man at this time, which I supposed
to
be the Adamic Tongue, my understand­ing being quickened by such might and
intelligence and power that it is beyond the mind of man unaided by the
Spirit of Revela­tion which dwells yet within me, to comprehend, and
indeed
no words can convey, for it seemed that I was transfigured before Him of
whom I speak, my God in whom I bear record as others have before me, that
He lives, for I too have seen Him. And tongue cannot express his
matchless
might, glory, power and intelligence, and I shall forever adore his glory,
for having once beheld his face and tasted of his love and might and power
and beheld things which I cannot convey, for there is no language, I must,
I
MUST obtain his presence, and I shall not be content with any­thing else,
this world or its allur­ments. And having been or­dained unto the Holy
Order of God which is after the Order of Melchizedec, even the Holy
Apostle­ship, the keys of which I hold, I bear record of my Father, for I
have seen Him and con­versed with him, and I testify that He shall return
in
this the Latter Day as soon as my people are straightened from this
crooked
and perverse generation which shall be destroyed by the might of his
power,
and that they be gath­ered out according to the Revela­tions which are
being
given unto me, almost daily at this time, which is one of the darkest
peri­ods and most wicked because of unbelief in the history of the earth,
that Zion may descend and that the heavens and the earth mingle and become
One, as prayed by the Only Begotten, even my brother Jesus of Naze­reth.
Yea, my Father, I pray that thy will be done and thy King­dom come on
earth
as it is in heaven. Even so. Amen.

The Revelations of Jesus Christ:

"But we ask, does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to
call
down one scrap of revelation from heaven, and for all they have now are
indebted to the faith of another people...does it remain for them to say
how
much God has spoken and how much He has not spoken?" Joseph Smith

"Every generation has flattered itself that it is a little better than the
one that preceded it. Every generation has prided itself in its knowledge
and great advancement in the arts and sciences and its superiority over
preceding generations; yet the power of the adversary and his hatred of
righteousness and truth are as great to-day as they ever were since the
creation of the earth." Journal of Discourses, Vol.11, Pg.228 - Pg.229,
George Q. Cannon, May 6, 1866

"Some men are natural born saints; whenever a principle is advanced they
understand it, and drink it in; * * * while there are others who do not
understand and oppose every principle that is not clear to their mind.
This
can be accounted for, that we are not all pure blooded, for Ephraim became
foolish and mixed up with the gentiles. When we find the pure blood of
Ephraim, we find a natural born child of God and there is nothing in the
gospel that is objectionable to them, but the others have to exercise
faith
in God and humble themselves before Him and live for it." (Deseret Weekly,
50:250-251)

35 And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall
be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.
36 For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim,
wherefore they shall be plucked out.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 64:35 - 36)

There is something that stops your postulation, the truth. I know that a
perfect man and woman were brought here from an older earth, along with
seeds, plants and animals and a garden was planted, but not before a
catyclism, a mighty convulsion destroyed the former creation, saith the
Lord. In this fertile ground the Lord did plant a garden from an older
earth. Adam came into the garden with a celestial body and brought Eve,
one
of his wives with him. He is our Father and our God, and the only God
with
which we have to do.

I have received revelation independent of the Bible, nitwit. There is a God
who has spoken to me, fool. I need no Bible to know that evolution is
false. I am a mathematician, and enough of one to have proven
mathematically evolution is impossible.

How did they first come to inhabit the older earth?

Hey, god also talked to me and told me not to listed to braindead
false prophets like you; I just don't understand how you can have a
'just add water' concept of creation... wtf do you have in your mind?
have you ever thought that god lead evolution? can't you think? why do
you have to be such a fundamentalist prick? religious fundamentalists
garbage like you is the reason the world is how it is right now.
