Revelation | A Christian Site About Religion, God, Jesus, & the Bible Articles and Answers about God, the Bible, Jesus, Religion, & Theology

Another scientist is claiming to have found the “missing link” in our “alleged” monkey history. The Australopithecus sediba fossil was found in a cave in South Africa. As I read the story, I quickly yawned. Unfortunately, claiming to have found the missing link is becoming more common than claims that the world will end in 2012. And neither one gets me too excited (or has solid science behind it).

My Christian/Creationist Perspective on the Fossil Find: Will the Real Missing Link Please Stand Up?

First, just let me say that since the story broke, I haven’t found too many creationists replies on the web. That is the main reason for this post. I wanted to provide an alternative view of this nonsense, and point out the absurdity of it.

How many “missing link” claims have been made at this point? Gosh, I have lost count. I thought “missing link” was singular, but so many have been found (and subsequently been proven false), that I can’ t even keep up. Perhaps we should change it to “missing linksssss.”

We had the recent Darwinius masillae fossil, which I knew would quickly get proven false. We have had Pitiful Piltdown Man, and countless other fossils dubbed as THE LINK, which were also subsequently proven false or a hoax. So is this the true missing link? Of course not.

Renowned paleontologist Meave Leakey said the following:

“This is an outstanding find and Lee should really be congratulated. However I do not think that they have anything to do with Homo or the ancestry of Homo.”

So once again we have a monkey, not a link. Not surprising at all. Every single fossile they find will either be complete monkey, or complete human. No shock there since there are no “homo-monkeys.” Except for those that exist today with an odd sexuality choice…

Why Scientists Still Can’t Find the Missing Link After All These Years

Gosh golly, how many years has it been now since Darwin’s lie book was published? How many thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars have been consumed in the search for a missing link? And after all this time and money, we have nothing but 100% monkeys, 100% humans, and hoaxes? Hmm.

I suppose I know the answer: They can’t find a fossil that doesn’t exist. Right? It is going to be rather difficult to find a missing link that doesn’t exist in the first place isn’t it? I think so. So they can keep digging and shelling out the big bucks in their quest, but their journey will be fruitless. Surely at some point you would think they would get the hint, but not so. They have more faith than any religious person I know, and their incredible religious faith that they were once a monkey will not be shaken. No, not by a long shot.

And by the way, what happened to cancer and world  hunger? I guess digging up monkey bones is much more important, huh?

A Quick Message to Theistic Evolution Christians

What saddens me most is not the incessant need for some skeptics to be monkey relatives (by the way, keep the bananas out of sight from these folks, they go ape crazy!). What saddens me most is the individuals who do believe in God, yet have been so confused and brainwashed by secular professors that they actually somehow splice the two opposing theories together. I suppose they fear being ridiculed for taking a creationists stance, so they cling to the theory of evolution like a fly on feces.

Evolution and creation are about as contradictory as you can imagine. Does micro-evolution exist? Absolutely. That is science, and that is observable. Does macro-evolution exist? Only in the imaginations of people with no faith in God. There is ZERO hard science for it. Period. They can’t even find 1 serious fossil to prove it.

If you are a believer who actually accepts the theory of evolution, you are suffering from a delusion. That is about the only thing I will ever agree with Richard Squawkins Dawkins about. Do you really have faith in God if you doubt the first page of His book? Is God pleased with that kind of faith?  After all, as the bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” (Hebrews 11:6). So how do you think God views your faith?

And yet, you claim to believe in this God, and don’t even take the first page of the book seriously. How can you ever deny the creative power of God, and assume he is merely joking around in Genesis, as if it is all an allegorical gag? How can you take God to be kidding when the first page says there was no death until the fall of Adam and Eve (which is kinda required for evolution and salvation)?

How can you stand and watch mankind create new animals and species via genetic engineering (ie, they didn’t have to evolve and were CREATED in their final form), and yet you deny that God could do the same? Folks, if man can do it, you better believe God can. Anything man can do, God can do better…

So believers, take the creative power of your God more seriously, and stop getting scammed and swayed by non-believers who have an agenda.

Hello Everyone!

Whew, my wife and I have been so busy lately that it has been a while since my last post. I have been posting a series called “The end times.” However, I am going to take a quick break to discuss an article on AOL today, and also address a skeptic claim.

Hopefully, I will be back on to the “end times” topic soon, as I do enjoy that (even though it does seem to take more time to write about).

Critiquing an Evolutionary Article on AOL Today

AOL published an article today that was quite absurd to say the least. I wish this was one of my “joke” type  articles, but this is a real article I assure you. An evolutionary biologists thinks he has found the “Real Reason” we cry.

What a relief! I am glad to see that cancer research is being placed on the back burner for now, because it is obvious that tears have such a high priority in modern medicine.

I mean, after all, we need to make sure our tax dollars for medical research are funding studies that will shed light on such important topics that will aide the human race such as tears (although this was at a university in Israel). I can’t wait to see what they roll out next week, perhaps they will tell us how our flatulence has evolved from smelling like roses to having an odor, or why broccoli isn’t enjoyed by most people despite being a healthy food.

According to this article, some brilliant evolutionist (aren’t they all so brilliant), says the following (and I quote):

Dr. Hasson notes that by blurring one’s vision, tears lower defenses, thereby handicapping aggressors and evolving into a sign of submission.

Isn’t that brilliant! This guy has the answer! Tears have evolved to simply keep us safe from people harming us. It shows people we are submitting to them, so they won’t kill us. Wow. This makes perfect sense, and is easily observed in nature.

After all, when people cry at a funeral, isn’t it obvious that the real reason they are crying is not from sadness, because they are fearing the corpse may spring back to life and strangle them? Thank you evolution for keeping us covered on that one from another potential aggressor.

And let me remind you, this comes just 1 day after AOL published another article about a man who slapped a child in a store because she would not stop crying. (WOW).

So which is it AOL? Does crying cause people to be aggressive to you, or prevent it? LOL….Get your story straight people! Crying actually tends to make people MORE aggressive in most cases. I know it sure annoys me to hear someone sniffling their nose at a movie, or a child crying non-stop for an hour.

Even Jim Carry had it right in the movie “Dumb and Dumber” when he goes: “Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?….Whaa….Whaaaa..”

In reality (a place most evolutionists don’t like to dwell), matured people rarely display crying publicly if they can avoid doing so. Many people cry privately, and do everything they can to prevent crying in public (except for children, funerals, etc.). Out of all of the times I have cried in my whole life, most of it was done in private or late at night, as I recounted the loss of someone I cared about, or thought about the sad parts of life.

If crying is supposed to be a sign of vulnerability that simply evolved to help us stay protected from aggressors, then it is a severely malfunctioned process at best. If someone came up to me to try to fight or kill me, crying is the last thing I would do. My “flight or fight” sense would kick in, and I would either be running for my life or trying to use self defense. I would not be bawled up like a child in a corner sobbing.

Also, the article doesn’t even touch on the fact that crying has other biological benefits. When a newborn child cries, a mother will actually start secreting milk. Children often cry if they are hungry, scared, hurt, etc.

Then, in this same article, another “doctor” makes a brilliant statement:

“Pain is something people feel in their brains. We can shut off pain with medication but we can’t shut off crying,” notes Eric R. Braverman, M.D.

Okay did you catch that? Pain can be shut off, but crying can’t. What?? That makes no sense whatsoever. I have only cried in my life for 2 reasons:

1. I was sad (mental pain)
2. I was hurt (physical pain)

To stop crying at any point in my life, all I had to do was simple:

1. Remove the pain (the physical stimulus)
2. Remove the sadness (by getting over it, or accepting it)

After removing the stimulus, my crying seized with it. But this doctor makes it clear that crying simply cannot be shut off, even with medication. Interesting. Next time I hear a child crying in the store, I will go up to the parent and  say the following:

“Gee ma’am, did you know that your child’s crying simply cannot be shut off right now. The evolutionists have proven it scientifically. You can stop pain, but not crying, so don’t fight it.  In fact, your child is submitting to you right now and it is all good ole evolution in action. You will be glad if someone tries to mug you in the parking lot, because they will see you child’s tears and stop.”

On a serious note, it does frustrate me quite a bit that people publish such nonsense. Why are they even trying to research why we “cry” anyway. Will that do one thing to help anyone?

If they spent the same energy on another topic, we would have electric cars, cures for cancer, and we might even get the economy in shape. But heaven forbid we do that.

Instead, let us use our (evolved) brains and spend our time and money on really important topics such as why we cry, to make sure we research this and then publish a bogus article (probably so we can get press attention and get another grant). After all, this one has really stumped the average person for ages.

In reality, the only person I can recall ever NOT KNOWING why we cry is Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator (in Terminator 2). And that was because he was a machine. I think we ”humans” know why we cry already, without having to spend time and research to figure it out. Just one more great example of an evolutionists with nothing more to do.

What is that saying? An idle mind is the devil’s workshop (or playground)…

But then again, this was written by a man who apparently thinks his relatives are primates and researches this for a living, so what can I say? Perhaps crying should be added to those really hard questions in the universe such as:

1. Why are we here?
2. Where did we come from?
3. How can we cure cancer?
4. How can we save the economy?
5. How can we have world peace?
6. What can we do to stop Aids and other diseases that are killing people right now?

Oh wait guys…those other questions can wait, another more important questions just came in:

     7. Why do we cry?

So let’s focus in on that one for a while guys!

Then once again the article goes on to tell us information that is supposedly “just discovered.” Here is the next brilliant statement it makes:

“The research points out emotions as important clues [as to] how humans interact.” Essentially, the research demonstrates that we communicate non-verbally. “

We need a study to tell us that we communicate non-verbally? What? Um, what is this world coming to? Has that not been common knowledge since man has been in existence? I think so…

God help us all and please have mercy on us.
