Evolution is the fundamental doctrine of secular humanism, crafted and molded through the years to salve the consciences of those who deny the existence of any authority or power higher than what humanists would term nature.

Secular humanism, the denials of its adherents notwithstanding, is unequivocally a religion. As Christianity has its gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, secular humanism declares its good news as salvation through natural selection. Public education, in many ways, has become its missionary agency, and unwitting teachers have become its missionaries, teaching for absolute truth that which is little more than speculative science.

That atheists, agnostics, and universalists would promote such deception is understandable. Consistent with their religious beliefs, they must deny the reality of a sovereign God who created, sustains, and controls all things.

The argument over evolution versus creation is not a science-versus-religion argument. It is a religion-versus-religion argument.

To paraphrase a newspaper columnist attempting to discredit the Scriptures, I would say, “Let’s cut through this pretense about Darwinian evolution: it’s a sham.”

Though liberal writers regularly affirm that evolution is all around us—i.e., “we see it everyday”—that is not the case. Evolution within a species is one thing, but evolution from species to species is quite another. And for that there is no credible evidence.

Look around you as the high priests and priestesses of humanism propagate their faith. You will notice that cows are still cows, horses are still horses, dogs are still dogs, and squirrels are still squirrels.

Consistent with the facts of recorded history, everything is still bringing forth after its kind. Coon hunters don’t have to worry about prized dogs giving birth to wildcats, and husbands don’t have to worry about wives giving birth to monkeys.

The diehard evolutionist rejects the possibility of intelligent design, declaring that to do so would mix the unmixable--science and religion. Yet, in the name of intellectualism and science he does just that. He propagates a theory that demands we believe that once upon a time in the far off past, creation suddenly and mysteriously came into existence from nothing.
