5. Monotheism, becoming the Judeo-Christian faith, is one of the two ‘parents’ of Western civilization.

The Greeks provided the other: reason. Ben Shapiro put it this way: God created every human in His image and human beings are able to investigate and make rational conclusions about the world. These two ideas were born in Jerusalem and Athens, respectively.

In the 18th century, the impetus of science led to the Enlightenment. A benefit by itself, it advanced reason and science so far ahead of that other ‘parent’ that elites began to claim that faith, religion and morality were no longer necessary for humanity, in fact, claiming that religion was superstition that held learning back.



And, they added materialism to the most important beliefs.

This is a great big ‘uh-oh.’

So God created deformed babies in His image? Is that your final answer?

To the sick twisted mind of a deranged hater like yourself, all you can see is bad things.

So why did God create deformed babies and cancer?

He didn't.

So why did God create deformed babies and cancer?

It's a mystery!

6. Here comes the largest factor in the rejection of faith and religion, and an illustration of the danger of merely reading the headline.

“Charles Darwin’s On The Origin of Specie (1859) provided the first scientific grounding in the notion of a world without God…” Shapiro, “The Right Side Of History.”




Many, even today believe this to be proven….hence the danger of merely reading headlines. Darwin himself said he couldn’t prove it, and to this day, it has never been more than a useful theory. Darwin said that the only evidence of it would come from examining the fossil record. : "... if my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking closely together all the species of the same group, must assuredly have existed; but the very process of natural selection constantly tends, as has been so often remarked, to exterminate the parent-forms and the intermediate links. Consequently evidence of their former existence could be found only amongst fossil remains ..."
Darwin, "Origin," chapter six



""To the question why we do not find rich fossiliferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian system I can give no satisfactory answer . . . Nevertheless, the difficulty of assigning any good reason for the absence of vast piles of strata rich in fossils beneath the Cambrian system is very great."
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, chapter Ten




If fact, the fossil record shows the very opposite.

Bet government school never told you that, did it.


Why the heck is Darwin's theory important enough for the science establishment to lie about it?

How can we understand where we are today if we don’t know how we got here? And, there is just the tiniest chance that if we understand where we are today, we can guess where we are going….and how to avoid that.



1.It’s been a journey of some three millennia and we can chart the start as moving from polytheism to monotheism. I got to see some of the oldest texts when the Dead Sea Scrolls was on display, here in NYC. Always amazing is the course of life’s history as laid out in Genesis, with the steps in creation mirroring the steps science accepts today…. The Old Testament was written, although not compiled, almost three millennia ago.
It is extraordinary that the writer of the creation account in Genesis, chapter one, got it right in his exposition of the series of events: his sequence turns out to be scientifically accurate in terms of contemporary knowledge.


2. Unavoidable is the recognition that the order of events established by modern science conform to the sequence in the first chapter of Genesis:
light from an explosion (the Big Bang),
universe/earth formed,
the seas from the cooling earth,
plants as the first life forms;
abundant sea life (the Cambrian explosion),
the (evolution) of the flora and fauna we see today.

Neat, eh?

Lucky guess by the author of the creation account of Genesis?





3. If it is not evidence for God, then the author of Genesis 1, or Moses, perhaps, must have understood that the universe formed first, then the seas appeared on earth, and that life forms were photosynthetic. Following that, he had to have realized that an eye evolved in an early animal in the geological past, which triggered the evolution of all the major groups of animals that exist today. Still further, he must have felt that all of this occurred in the seas, before animals moved onto land, and only when they did move out of the water did mammals and birds evolve.
Parker, “The Genesis Enigma,” p. 160.


And this from folks living in the desert!

Wow! What an incredibly lucky guess! What a considerable stroke of good fortune!


The alternative explanation is divine intervention.

Kind of hard to miss the implication. “ a majority of scientists (51%) say they believe in God or a higher power, while 41% say they do not.” What do scientists think about religion?





4. But at least as significant as the science is the political impact of monotheism and the Bible. In pre-Bible times, as in the Hammurabi Code, it is only the king who was said to have been created in God’s image.
The Bible created Western civilization, and changed all that in Genesis 1:26- And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
That means all people, not just kings. All individuals have lives with meaning and purpose, and that extends to other. We owe that to God.




Lest any imagine that all religions are the same, Leviticus 19:34
34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Compared to this: “New York Mufti says, Muslims cannot integrate: ‘Muslims should hate non-Muslims’ “The general principle… is to love and to hate for the sake of Allah,” New York Mufti says, Muslims cannot integrate: ‘Muslims should hate non-Muslims’



The difference between what produce Western civilization…and some other on less accommodating to humanity.

Even if we accept that Genesis is scientifically valid, what is the explanation for everything the Bible got wrong or omitted? God gets the credit and man gets the blame? I thought it was success that had a thousand fathers but failure was an orphan, not the other way around.

In the fall of 2015, Vice President Joe Biden called for a “moonshot” to cure cancer. In his final State of the Union Address on January 12, 2016, President Barack Obama reemphasized that goal, stating, “Let’s make America the country that cures cancer once and for all.” To achieve that goal, the government announced “Cancer MoonShot 2020,” a historic national coalition of pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, major payers, community oncologists, and academia.

Here are 10 things you need to know about the initiative:

1. Cancer MoonShot 2020 is a 4-year initiative to accelerate the development of immunotherapies to treat cancer by the start of the next decade.

Why is the theory of evolution so threatening that creationists lie about? You can argue which religion is the true one or which scripture came from your God but you can not argue with or deny the facts you can see with your own eyes. Who are you to tell God how he creates?

Why is the theory of evolution so threatening that creationists lie about? You can argue which religion is the true one or which scripture came from your God but you can not argue with or deny the facts you can see with your own eyes. Who are you to tell God how he creates? The earth is his bible.

You couldn't produce any lie.....which makes you the liar, huh?

How can we understand where we are today if we don’t know how we got here? And, there is just the tiniest chance that if we understand where we are today, we can guess where we are going….and how to avoid that.



1.It’s been a journey of some three millennia and we can chart the start as moving from polytheism to monotheism. I got to see some of the oldest texts when the Dead Sea Scrolls was on display, here in NYC. Always amazing is the course of life’s history as laid out in Genesis, with the steps in creation mirroring the steps science accepts today…. The Old Testament was written, although not compiled, almost three millennia ago.
It is extraordinary that the writer of the creation account in Genesis, chapter one, got it right in his exposition of the series of events: his sequence turns out to be scientifically accurate in terms of contemporary knowledge.


2. Unavoidable is the recognition that the order of events established by modern science conform to the sequence in the first chapter of Genesis:
light from an explosion (the Big Bang),
universe/earth formed,
the seas from the cooling earth,
plants as the first life forms;
abundant sea life (the Cambrian explosion),
the (evolution) of the flora and fauna we see today.

Neat, eh?

Lucky guess by the author of the creation account of Genesis?





3. If it is not evidence for God, then the author of Genesis 1, or Moses, perhaps, must have understood that the universe formed first, then the seas appeared on earth, and that life forms were photosynthetic. Following that, he had to have realized that an eye evolved in an early animal in the geological past, which triggered the evolution of all the major groups of animals that exist today. Still further, he must have felt that all of this occurred in the seas, before animals moved onto land, and only when they did move out of the water did mammals and birds evolve.
Parker, “The Genesis Enigma,” p. 160.


And this from folks living in the desert!

Wow! What an incredibly lucky guess! What a considerable stroke of good fortune!


The alternative explanation is divine intervention.

Kind of hard to miss the implication. “ a majority of scientists (51%) say they believe in God or a higher power, while 41% say they do not.” What do scientists think about religion?





4. But at least as significant as the science is the political impact of monotheism and the Bible. In pre-Bible times, as in the Hammurabi Code, it is only the king who was said to have been created in God’s image.
The Bible created Western civilization, and changed all that in Genesis 1:26- And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
That means all people, not just kings. All individuals have lives with meaning and purpose, and that extends to other. We owe that to God.




Lest any imagine that all religions are the same, Leviticus 19:34
34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Compared to this: “New York Mufti says, Muslims cannot integrate: ‘Muslims should hate non-Muslims’ “The general principle… is to love and to hate for the sake of Allah,” New York Mufti says, Muslims cannot integrate: ‘Muslims should hate non-Muslims’



The difference between what produce Western civilization…and some other on less accommodating to humanity.

Even if we accept that Genesis is scientifically valid, what is the explanation for everything the Bible got wrong or omitted? God gets the credit and man gets the blame? I thought it was success that had a thousand fathers but failure was an orphan, not the other way around.

Perhaps you should begin with the Ten Commandments.
