Absolute disgrace to the progress of man?

Letter,
unedited:
You're
business is an aboslute disgrace and abomination to the progression of man. You
should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for wanting to teach kids such
fallacies you have no evidence for as 'facts'. Though a complete picture of how
the world was derived hasn't been totally identified, the evidence is so far
stacked toward evolution that I pity how heavily you must have been brainwashed
and how much you have to ignore and reject to maintain your selfish beliefs. I
am truely embarrassed to be on the same planet as you backward idiots! I
challenge you to spend a few months to IMPARTIALLY research opposing theories
and the possiblilty your 'God' does not exist. If you dont think your faith can
withstand this examination, then I guess ignorance is bliss!
Who needs
logic rationale and reason anyway. If you can believe a genocidal malevolant
tyrant wants you to ignore science, then you better do it!
Response:
Thank you for contacting us. My comments are below and I really hope you consider these. Also note, they are said with sincerity and respect, though I am being direct in places.
To whom it may concern, You're business
It is actually a ministry and a non-profit.
is an aboslute disgrace
First, I’m glad you believe in absolutes; and second, I’m glad you believe there are such moral things as respect, honor, and subsequently shame, hence, where disgrace stems. Most evolutionists would disagree about these things.[1] They say “there are no absolutes or shame or honor, etc.” They argue that everything is material and all things happen—even one's own thoughts—as mere chemical reactions that ultimately have no meaning, because there is nothing immaterial.
Of course, many evolutionists are being illogical when they claim there are no absolutes, as they just used an absolute! All this is to say that I’m glad you disagree with leading evolutionists about absolutes and morality. These are very Christian of you. However, by the email it seems the Bible is not a high priority (which where morality comes from) so why think there are absolutes and disgrace without the Bible being true?
and abomination to the progression of man.
But from an evolutionary perspective, why care about the progress of man? “Eat, pass on your genes, and die”; that is really the evolutionist’s motto. Why would the evolutionist care about the next generation—let the offspring fend for themselves before they die? Why care about anything? Really?
When someone care about people or society that is Christian attribute (people are made in the image of God[2], Genesis 1:26-27; 9:5-6) and I’m glad you do, but that must be borrowed from the Bible to make sense of it.
You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for wanting to teach kids such fallacies you have no evidence for as 'facts'.
We are not ashamed since we are teaching the truth, but evolutionists should be ashamed that they teach kids lies about God, morality, truth, science, and justice…and even kill them in “abortion factories” like “weeding the garden” (recall that it is the evolutionists that teach that children are just animals that can be disposed).
But let me ask…what fallacies? And furthermore, in an evolutionary worldview where everything is material, why would truth and logic even exist? These things are NOT material, they are abstract. It is a Christian worldview based on the Bible from which we can have a basis for knowledge, logic, reasoning, morality, and so on. The non-Christian must borrow from the Bible just to try to argue against it.
Though a complete picture of how the world was derived hasn't been totally identified,
Then why believe it is “absolute” enough to argue against other worldviews as the absolute standard?
the evidence is so far stacked toward evolution
Such as? We have the same evidence as the evolutionists and God disagrees with the evolutionists who make such claims. He says all of it is stacked His way:
“The earth is the LORD’S, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein (Psalm 24:1, NKJV).”
So what is the best evidence that evolution is true (even though evolutionists say there is no such thing as truth)?
that I pity
Why “pity” if people are just chemicals? Chemical don’t “pity”? Again, pity is a Christian thing, and I’m glad you have pity, even though it is misguided, because it refutes the position that that evolutionists are arguing for (that pity and other immaterial things do not exist) and verifies that you are indeed made in the image of God.
how heavily you must have been brainwashed and how much you have to ignore and reject
I was brainwashed by public education that taught me that I was just a chemical and a “waste of space” in a “billions of years” universe where nothing matters and when you’re dead…you’re dead. But then, I actually studied the subject. And I found out who was doing the brainwashing.
I thank the Lord God for saving me from the secular humanist religion (evolution and millions of years are aspects of this religion) that I was taught in school and university. It sounds like this religion was forced on you without question too. I want to encourage you to question it.[3]
to maintain your selfish beliefs.
How is being loving and caring to others selfish? How is teaching people the truth selfish? How is taking a stand to save lives of children selfish? How is loving and being obedient to the God that died to save us from sin and death selfish? How?
But in an evolutionary worldview where it is “free for all” evolutionary world…why not be selfish?
I am truely embarrassed
Again, consistent evolutionists have no basis for truth, so why maintain this belief; if you want to be consistent, then either give up on truth and logic or give up on an evolutionary worldview.
But what I don’t get is…why not be embarrassed of fellow evolutionists like Hitler or Stalin who killed many kids and adults or that maniac evolutionist Anders Behring Breivik who killed all those little kids in Norway…and yet email us to saying we who preach righteousness should be the ones embarrassed?
to be on the same planet as you backward idiots!
How are we backwards and how are we ignorant? Such a claim is merely a question begging epithet fallacy.
I challenge you to spend a few months to IMPARTIALLY research opposing theories and
Like this “impartial” email? The fact is no one is impartial. There is no such thing as impartial research. This email and others we have received like it is evidence that those who criticize the biblical position clearly haven’t “lifted a finger” to honestly research what the Bible teaches about creation, truth, knowledge, science and so on.
Furthermore, I have searched hosts of religious beliefs including the six differing views of evolution (Epicurean, Lamarckian, Traditional Darwinism, Neo-Darwinism, Punctuated Equilibrium, and Hopeful Monster).[4] Since you’ve professed a belief in evolution, out of curiosity, which of these do you believe right now and why are the others wrong?
As a matter of note, what Lamarck and Darwin did in trying to find a mechanism for evolution was really just a rehash of trying to make some Greek Mythology work. The Epicurean Greeks proposed the myth of evolution; it was one popular form of Greek mythology – even Paul refuted it thousands of years ago in Acts 17.
But with aspects added by Lamarck and Darwin, they simply made variations in this mythology. Rightly, it is still Greek mythology, but their new aspects can also be dubbed French mythology (Lamarck was from France) or English mythology (Darwin was from England). Sadly, WWII in Europe was instigated by Adolf Hitler, who bought into English mythology of evolution…[5]
the possiblilty your 'God' does not exist. If you dont think your faith can withstand this examination, then I guess ignorance is bliss!
When it comes to the existence of God, I have searched the subject as well; be it the classical arguments which are still found wanting or the Transcendental Argument for the existence of God (TAG) which is foundational to the others.[6] How have you disproved the Transcendental Argument for the existence of the God of Christian Theism?[7]
Who needs logic rationale and reason anyway.
Evolutionists don’t consistently believe in such a thing since they are not material.
If you can believe a genocidal malevolant tyrant
Well this is clearly not the God of the Bible as anyone could tell who has actually read the Bible. This is straw man fallacy that God-haters like Dr. Richard Dawkins have set up. Keep in mind that the last few genocidal, malevolent tyrants have been evolutionists like Hitler and Stalin.
wants you to ignore science, then you better do it!
I love science and have Master’s Degree in it. It is sad to see when evolutionists can’t tell the difference between evolution and science. It is a common equivocation fallacy on their part.
Mr. M., I would like to encourage you though. You have expressed a belief in evolution (with its atheism, since evolution comes out of an atheistic worldview) and yet you are living your life borrowing from the Bible that morality, logic, truth, and science exists.
I even suspect that you wear clothes—which come directly from a literal Genesis 3. Let’s face it frogs don’t wake up in the morning and put their clothes on. The point is, you are living a life that is a contradiction—you follow the Bible in some areas (perhaps unknowingly) and yet you argue against its truthfulness.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened (Romans 1:18-22, NKJV).
But it is time to stop and repent (Luke 13:3). It is time to change your life and start on the path of truth and righteousness. M., I would love to see you get saved. It seems you have a passion for standing up to things you feel is wrong, and that is a good Christian attribute. That is something I would hope you continue to do. But you need to understand what is right and wrong and have a basis for it—the Bible.
I want to encourage you to begin the journey. A good book to get you a good overview of who God is and what he Bible is all about with selected Scriptures in the Bible is simply entitled “Begin” compiled by myself and Ken Ham (by Master Books, Green Forest, AK, 2011).
At the very least, it would help teach you who God is, and what the Bible teaches on a number of subjects. With kindness in Christ,

Evolution is an atheistic worldview and one of the popular forms of Secular
Humanism. Sadly some Christians try to mix this religion with biblical
Christianity. This is no different from what many Israelites did mixing their
religion with Baal worship and God was not happy with them. Is God happy with
mixing evolution and Christianity?

Please don’t me wrong – there are many great Christian teachers in the secular
system and they need your prayers, but the system is now set up to oppose
Christianity and promote the religion of secular humanism.
