Here’s a great post from the Apologia site, which exposes the intolerance and hypocrisy of atheistic naturalists.

The Intolerance of Evolution

Evolutionary scientists, and atheists alike, have long fooled themselves into believing that they are neutral. This belief in their own neutrality has led to an overall disgust for worldviews that are considered non-neutral. In fact, evolutionists, and atheists in particular, have long derided Christians for their “intolerance”. Not only is this an erroneous accusation since there is no partiality with God, it’s a hypocritical one. The myth of evolutionary neutrality is so staunchly defended, that it brings me no small amount of joy when a leading evolutionary proponent exposes their true agenda. The following is an example evolutionary proponents being intolerant of any other religion except their own.

The Creation Museum

The Creationist organisation, Answers in Genesis, has their very own Creation Museum. This museum is a privately funded Christian entity. They entered into a business arraignment with another entity, the Cincinnati Zoo, to provide tickets to both the zoo and the museum at a reduced price if purchased in a “bundle”. The idea was to bring more tourism to the city and to both the museum and the zoo.

However, on Monday Dec 1st, about 48 hours after the deal was finalized, the Cincinnati zoo pulled out. The zoo was inundated with emails and phone calls regarding their affiliation with the Creation Museum. The cries all had the same message, the zoo should not be affiliated with Christianity.

  1. Thanks for the support, I’m honored

  2. Eric,

    Your welcome, but it’s my honor! God, uses your humility and patience to deal with the atheists who attack you and God, while still speaking the truth. I must admit a weakness when it comes to being patient, but God is still working on me! May God bless us both to write what He would have us write!

    The atheists and evolutionists who moved to block the business relationship between a Christian entity and a privately owned zoo, are organized and motivated to shut down any other viewpoint besides their own. Christians should be confined so that we cannot explore our beliefs in any other venue except inside our homes and churchs. Doesn’t this sound eerily like certain “ghetto’s” that were set up some seventy years ago in some distant European country? Send them where they can’t be seen, heard or bother anyone else. Now, how’s THAT for tolerance?

    Accurate assesment. I once again must quote the Skeptical Mystic:

    My deepest grief is that we may be coming to a place in which reasonable discourse must be set aside in favor of the raw declaration of Christ. … It was God Himself who said, “Come, let us reason together.” But, once the collective hearts of the people reached a critical mass of unbelief and hostility towards God, He sent the prophets – not to reason, but to declare. Such declarations were the signal of eminent judgment. Such declarations signal the onslaught of what Paul called “the terror of God.” The absence of God’s merciful attempt to reason with man signals a horrible turning point.

    Good analogy. Of course there are exceptions (like a certain guy we know from Shrink’s blog).

    Quite frankly, I don’t know how Eric manages to keep a cool head. Patience of a saint I guess.

    Yes, he is an exception!

    You and I both, brother!

    I’m thankful for the both of you, as I am for the Shrink, Kliska, Mynym and even Carl! All of you keep me seeking God for more truth!

    Modern proponents of Darwinism argue along the same lines given their view of humans as nothing but animals. They also tend to blur all “religion” together. This is basically a proto-Nazi argument:

    …if you let the lion roam free, it would kill me; safety demands that it be put in a cage. Safety demands that religions be put in cages too-when absolutely necessary. We just can’t have forced female circumcision, and the second-class status of women in Roman Catholicism and Mormonism, to say nothing of their status in Islam.
    [...]
    Save the Baptists! Yes, of course, but not by all means. Not if it means tolerating the deliberate misinforming of children about the natural world. According to a recent poll, 48 percent of the people in the United States today believe that the book of Genesis is literally true. And 70 percent believe that “creation science” should be taught in school alongside evolution. Some recent writers recommend a policy in which parents would be able to “opt out” of materials they didn’t want their children taught.
    [...]
    A faith, like a species, must evolve or go extinct when the environment changes. It is not a gentle process in either case. (Darwin’s Dangerous Idea by Daniel Dennett :515-516)

    In other words creationists should be put in zoos. Not literally of course, Darwinism is metaphoric until it evolves into a more literal/biological view of things.

  6. Mynym,

    This is what troubles me the most! I understand that some who comment on the Shrink’s site (one, in particular) don’t believe that what happened in Nazi Germany could happen again. I think they’re naive and horribly mistaken!

    As you said,

    Darwinism is metaphoric until it evolves into a more literal/biological view of things.

    and then we have history to show what can happen at that point!

    Yet, according to my faith and the word of God, persecution, at an immense level, will come again at the end of this age, so what should my (our) response be to all of this? I wish I could hear God more clearly!

    Glad you stopped by!

  7. I understand that some who comment on the Shrink’s site (one, in particular) don’t believe that what happened in Nazi Germany could happen again.

    That’s true but it seems to me that it is only to the extent that he does not take Darwinism seriously or avoids Darwinian reasoning.

    Of course there is a lot of evil in the world that has nothing to do with Nazism or Darwinism as well. For instance, there were plenty of other anti-Christ type figures besides Hitler who portrayed themselves as the savior of mankind. And there were plenty who believed that such a figure would arise, e.g.:

    His youthful appearance, his gentle voice and suave manners do not disguise the forceful personality of this envoy…who recieved part of his education in America. Leaning back, he removed his glasses in silence, replaced them thoughtfully, and said “Japan can offer spirituality to America and the entire Western World. Japan, I am convinced, will be the cradle of a new Messiah.”

    The New York Times; Jan 8, 1933 pg. XX4)

    You mention the end times but it seems to me that we’ve been living in the end times ever since Christ. I’m glad that things haven’t actually ended for the human race although great evil exists given that more babies are being born and all that as well.

    …so what should my (our) response be to all of this?

    I’m not sure that I know but in my opinion we should not worry and it seems to me that there’s nothing wrong with enjoying living in relatively peaceful times for now.

    Glad you stopped by!

    Thanks.

  8. Actually Shinto was essentially Nature based paganism so “nothing to do with Darwinism” (which in some cases may as well be Nature based paganism or the “veneration of natural forces as if they are Deities”) is not correct.

  9. That’s true but it seems to me that it is only to the extent that he does not take Darwinism seriously or avoids Darwinian reasoning.

    I guess I sense this at some points, but he makes so many left or right turns that I’m never quite sure what he thinks or believes. Of course, that is probably more my issue than his, since, as I’ve said before, I sometimes can’t keep up with his thought processes! DUH;-)

    Of course there is a lot of evil in the world that has nothing to do with Nazism or Darwinism as well.

    I agree completely, and some of the evil, throughout the centuries, has been brought about by the church.

    You mention the end times but it seems to me that we’ve been living in the end times ever since Christ.

    Yes, I was referring to the end of the age, which is, of course, closer now.

    I’m not sure that I know but in my opinion we should not worry and it seems to me that there’s nothing wrong with enjoying living in relatively peaceful times for now.

    No there isn’t. I think I hear God speaking to me in your statement!

  10. As one who has visited the Creation Museum, I can tell you that they have faced all kinds of intolerance. They’ve been hated, maligned, ridiculed, threatened, and called about every name in the book. This tells me that they are on the right track. If any of you ever get a chance, do go there. It’s first class. They make it clear that their true mission is evangelism. They present the evolutionary view along with the creationist views side by side (unlike public schools). They aren’t afraid of alternative viewpoints, whereas the Darwinists seems scared to death.

    Bingo!! “If the world hated Me, it will also hate you…”

    The liar and fraud always live in fear of being found out!

  12. China has had a continuous, literate civilisation stretching back well over 10,000 years. Somehow they managed not to think that them all being drowned in a global flood was worth writing down. Egytpian scribes similarly failed to notice that they’d all died. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?

  13. “10,000 years”? That’s a small number for you guys! Usually it’s billions upon billions of delusional years that I have to listen to!

    Who did you say, on your last comment, has all the answers? It evidently is you! You have all the answers. I’m so honored!

    Note the sarcasm? Ho hum!!!!
