Sowing Atheism: Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr.

By Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr.

Late last year, virtually uncommented upon, the late William F. Buckley’s influential conservative magazine, “National Review,” officially relinquished the spiritual high-ground to the Neo-Darwinists, and urged all other “thoughtful” conservatives to do the same. Jim Manzi wrote the four-page article of surrender entitled, “The Origin of the Species, and Everything Else,” in the October 8th, 2007 issue. In it, he abandons the authority of what the apostle Paul called the “Sacred Scriptures” (without even mentioning them), in favor of the authority of the atheistic Neo-Darwinist consensus which now rules what those people call “science.”

Manzi reasons that since Thomas Aquinas relied on the thinking of Aristotle and Augustine, it makes sense to incorporate “the best available non-theological thinking into our religious views.” He does not tell us, however, how to discern what non-theological thinking is the “best available.” And he certainly does not quote from Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every word of God is pure … Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

To Manzi, ultimate truth does not lie in the revealed Word of God, but rather in a man-centered philosophy, what he calls “a deep intellectual tradition” ranging back to Aristotle, a pupil of the idol-worshipper, Plato, and a tutor of the idol-worshipper, Alexander the Great. Darwinism goes back to that same man-centered way of thinking„the way of Cain. In both philosophical systems, the creature’s opinions and desires trump the Creator’s words.

EVOLUTION ‘THEORY’ so stupid even some monkeys don’t want to hear it.

Manzi writes that “most major denominations … have accepted evolution as fully consistent with theistic faith.” God help us! What do these pseudoscience-hip denominations celebrate at their services: the lies that Moses, Jesus, and Paul told about humanity’s origins?

Typically, Manzi does not offer any evidence for evolution. I have never seen any evidence anywhere that we evolved from worms, reptiles, and monkeys, have you? An astute letter-writer to “The Washington Times” recently pointed out, “A scientist who could prove that one species actually evolved into another would receive great acclaim, including a Nobel Prize, and that has not happened.”

Lack of evidence has never been a problem for Darwinists. Let me give you a classic example from “The Washington Post” of what passes, in their newsroom, for proof of evolution. On March 17, 2005, the “Post” published an article by Rick Weiss entitled, “Human X Chromosome Coded” with the subhead, “Sequence Confirms How Sex Evolved and Explains Some Male-Female Differences.” Despite the promising subhead, Weiss presented no evidence confirming how “sex as we know it” evolved, just these two utterly speculative sentences: “It happened about 300 million years ago, long before the first mammals. A conventional chromosome in a forebear of humans„probably a reptile of some sort„apparently underwent a mutation that allowed it to direct the development of sperm-producing testes.”

Lucky for us that this very special “probably a reptile of some sort” didn’t choke on a catfish before its magical mutation; otherwise, today we wouldn’t be enjoying “sex as we know it.”

EARLY RELATIVE of ‘National Review’ writer Manzi? Just asking….theoretically.

You would be outraged if the “Post” falsely published that your grandfather was a serial rapist. But when the “Post” says we’re all descended from reptiles by chance, oh well. When little Johnny comes home from school and asserts that he’s descended from reptiles and monkeys, what can you say? The “Washington Post” wrote that scientists have confirmed it as fact! Didn’t you see the headline?

The“Washington Post” routinely transmutes arrant evolutionary speculation into “facts,” presenting them as such to a largely trusting audience. Is this new faux-reporting technique, employed not only by The “Post,” but by the majority of mainstream “science” journalists today, becoming part of the “deep intellectual tradition” the “National Review” would have us embrace? No, it is journalistic deceit: atheistic humanist propaganda masquerading as objectivity. Now that the “National Review” has rolled over, it, too, can play a part in this supreme scam.

But doesn’t the hierarchy of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) say that evolution is true, that it is a “fact”? Yes, they do„and that’s exactly what makes them incompetent as scientists. They cannot discern the difference between saying something is true and proving it is true. The NAS admits that it has no evidence for the spontaneous chemical generation of life from dead matter. They further admit that they have no “plausible hypothesis” for it, either. The NAS has no bona fide evidence for the alleged evolution of the sexes. This is important because Jesus says in Mark 10:6 that “from the beginning of creation God makes them male and female.” And consider this most carefully: out of the two million or so species on this planet, the NAS cannot pick a single one and identify the specific species from which it allegedly evolved.

Molecules-to-man evolution is nothing but a concocted rationale for atheism. Once our Creator is denied, all that is left to explain our existence is time and chance. The NAS hierarchy is thoroughly atheist. NAS spokesman, atheist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, has said publicly, “I want to put on the table, not why 85% of the members of the National Academy of Sciences reject God, I want to know why 15% of the National Academy don’t … How come this number isn’t zero?”

‘MISSING LINK’ still missing.

Do the editors of The “Post” and of the “National Review” realize that, by touting evolution as truth, they are proclaiming themselves to be worm-reptile-monkey people? And since they believe they evolved over eons through countless random mutations, are they not insisting that they are basically mutants?

William F. Buckley was a devout Roman Catholic. The current editors of his once-great magazine have now made the Virgin Mary and her Son the offspring, by chance, of insects, worms, and reptiles. When is the pope, I wonder, going to make the official ex cathedra proclamation of this?

I search for a positive side to this idiotic thinking on the part of the editors of “National Review.” Perhaps this is it: liberal and conservative mutants, their philosophies now dovetailing into one common belief about their origins, can walk arm-in-arm, outstripping Descartes as they boast to one another, “By chance 300 million years ago, two reptiles had sex; therefore, we are.”
