To believe in Darwinism, you must be either evil or ignorant...or perhaps both? "Men had forgotten God; that is why all this has happened" said Solzhenitsyn!
“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.
Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
How does tyranny rule in any formerly free society? What happens is a confluence of evil and ignorance, allowing for a situation in which mankind in general loses the respect for both the freedom to succeed and the associated risk of failure that is part and parcel to discovery and scientific advances and of course capitalism. One must associate free trade and free society and, in order for this to be robust, there needs to be a strong and common bond within a nation that includes a common morality and sense of community and destiny.
The United States was a society built on the foundation of Christian morality and freedom of speech and other freedoms spelled out in the Bill of Rights. While the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and fought the Revolutionary War and wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights were all Christians, Theists or at least Deists, they set up a society that would allow for freedom of worship or freedom FROM worship if desired. These men were determined to build a society that would allow people to dream big and, if both wise and determined, succeed and perhaps provide a living for not only their own family, but for many others as well.
“A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West today. The Western world has lost its civic courage . . . . Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling and intellectual elite, causing an impression of a loss of courage by the entire society.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is no secret now that the Masons was a society that, in the 18th Century, was an organization within which men seeking to build free societies met to share ideas and dream big. The Masons helped lead both successful and unsuccessful revolutions in the Western world. The United States was the biggest success story, a nation where freedom was the most famed aspect of our face we gave to the world, and power was the reason freedom reigned. We were great because we were free and we were free because we were great. But it took men of courage and vision to bring our nation into existence!
But our secret was, as the quote goes, that America is great because she is good. We were good because we respected God and understood that God created all things, including the inherent rights of mankind. Our Founding Fathers understood this and incorporated it into our founding documentation.
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”

But fools and blackguards have, for many decades, fought to remove God from society and science. There have been many factions fighting to advance their own evil agendas. Socialists/Fascists/Communists have sought to put the collective above the individual and build the central government at the expense of local leadership. Eugenicists have fought to advance racism and elitism and, while the names and labels change, the ideologies remain the same. Atheists/Naturalists/Pantheists (Darwinists) have sought to remove logic from science along with God. Originally the Darwins and Huxleys and Haeckels sought to remove God from society in order to advance opportunities for sexual license and allow them to feel free to be irresponsible to their fellow man. Darwinism is anti-science, completely illogical and unsupported by evidence. Malthusian philosophy gave rise to radical eco-nuts, those who promote the ridiculous idea that mankind can cause global warming (or global cooling), again in contrast to the actual evidence.
Evidence shows us that the entire Universe, the Solar System, the Earth and all living creatures were designed and created by the Supernatural God. Evidence shows us that mankind cannot accurately predict the weather, let alone cause it!
But this is the age of ignorance and evil...propaganda has replaced learning and knowledge. The powers-that-be in science, academics, government, entertainment and news media have all joined in lockstep to worship Darwinism and Global Warming and, with so many people casting God aside, our society has begun to trade freedom for sustenance. More than half of the population of the United States now depends on at least some form of government assistance. At the same time, the Federal government has grown exponentially and especially the Executive branch has attained power unforeseen by the Founding Fathers. Our Supreme Court and subsidiary courts have abandoned defending the Constitution and begun to rewrite it. Finally, our Representatives and Senators have grown so fat on lobbyists and a future pension and certain paychecks working for influence peddlers or news media that they hardly truly represent the will of the people...or perhaps they actually do? Have we become so accustomed to the emergence of the Nanny State that we are willing to succumb to it's lure?
“Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century.”

To believe in Darwinism is a key component of abandoning truth and then freedom. Darwinism is myth rather than science and it only exists because of evil and ignorance. If we were both informed and determined to seek truth rather than comfort, our United States would not be turning into a Dystopian society.
“If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible what was the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men had forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.' ”

Free societies abandon morality first, then they abandon truth and then they find themselves enslaved. If you have abandoned God, you have abandoned morality. If you have embraced Darwinism, you have abandoned truth. What will protect you from the growth of Big Brother and who will fight for you when it is decided that you are not optimal and must be removed from society for the sake of the collective good? If you think I am engaging in hyperbole and alarmism, think of the words of Solzhenitsyn...
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. "One word of truth outweighs the world.”

Now a normal person who believes that God created has become NEWS? We are approaching the intersection of evil and ignorance and the collision will be disastrous if people do not wake up and see that God indeed created and Darwinism is a hideous lie!!!

Journalist Admits She’s a Creationist and Drives Evolutionists Insane
In the midst of the George Zimmerman “not guilty” verdict, rioting, beatings, threats of violence, calls for “checking your white privilege,” and demands that we “give money to the Dream Defenders, to the Urban League, to the Southern Poverty Law Center… because racism is a natural disaster just like hurricanes and bombings and shootings are,” there’s a story going around about a journalist who admits that she’s a creationist.
The liberal disdain for her is thicker than quick-drying cement. Here’s just one example, written by Laura Helmuth at Slate:
“This is all just to say that I am trying to sympathize, I really am, with Virginia Heffernan. Heffernan is a writer for Yahoo News, formerly of the New York Times and formerly-formerly a TV critic for Slate. Last week she published an essay in which she revealed that she is a creationist. I’m not exaggerating. The essay is titled ‘Why I’m a Creationist,’ and she wrote: ‘Also, at heart, I am a creationist. There, I said it.’”
The article drips with disdain but does not offer a single verifiable scientific fact supporting how nothing became something.

“One day Dostoevsky threw out the enigmatic remark: "Beauty will save the world". What sort of a statement is that? For a long time I considered it mere words. How could that be possible? When in bloodthirsty history did beauty ever save anyone from anything? Ennobled, uplifted, yes - but whom has it saved?
There is, however, a certain peculiarity in the essence of beauty, a peculiarity in the status of art: namely, the convincingness of a true work of art is completely irrefutable and it forces even an opposing heart to surrender. It is possible to compose an outwardly smooth and elegant political speech, a headstrong article, a social program, or a philosophical system on the basis of both a mistake and a lie. What is hidden, what distorted, will not immediately become obvious.
Then a contradictory speech, article, program, a differently constructed philosophy rallies in opposition - and all just as elegant and smooth, and once again it works. Which is why such things are both trusted and mistrusted.
In vain to reiterate what does not reach the heart.
But a work of art bears within itself its own verification: conceptions which are devised or stretched do not stand being portrayed in images, they all come crashing down, appear sickly and pale, convince no one. But those works of art which have scooped up the truth and presented it to us as a living force - they take hold of us, compel us, and nobody ever, not even in ages to come, will appear to refute them.
So perhaps that ancient trinity of Truth, Goodness and Beauty is not simply an empty, faded formula as we thought in the days of our self-confident, materialistic youth? If the tops of these three trees converge, as the scholars maintained, but the too blatant, too direct stems of Truth and Goodness are crushed, cut down, not allowed through - then perhaps the fantastic, unpredictable, unexpected stems of Beauty will push through and soar to that very same place, and in so doing will fulfil the work of all three?
In that case Dostoevsky's remark, "Beauty will save the world", was not a careless phrase but a prophecy? After all he was granted to see much, a man of fantastic illumination.
And in that case art, literature might really be able to help the world today?”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Lecture
The Bible contains truth. Truth is the enemy of tyranny and the prescription for ignorance. No Darwinist can show us life evolving from non-life or simple life becoming more complex. No Darwinist can explain the sedimentary rock layers without lying or ignoring most of the evidence. No Darwinist can provide a logical evolutionary path for the formation of stars or planets from dust and no Darwinist can explain how existence can spring forth miraculously from non-existence. Darwinism is the opposite of truth.
The Bible says this in John 8:31-32. "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
“That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You either believe in God and Creation or in Darwin and Evolution. Anything else is just indecision. How many have asked Darwinists to provide actual evidence for their foolish fairy tales? I have done it for years and have learned that they cannot do it. So now I am saying that Darwinism is not just wrong, it is ignorant and it is evil and the propagandizers who spread such folly are part and parcel to the evil intentions of those who would return us to the Middle Ages. There are those who wish to be the tyrants and rule over everyone else. In Russia, they succeeded and ruled for generations, murdering tens of millions of innocents and causing tens of millions to live in poverty and despair. You think it cannot happen here? It happened in Cuba, it happened in Venezuela, it happened in China and many other societies. Invariably the society that kicks God out of the center of morality and puts mankind on the throne (Humanism) will deteriorate.
“If humanism were right in declaring that man is born to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature. It cannot the unrestrained enjoyment of everyday life. It cannot be the search for the best ways to obtain material goods and then cheerfully get the most out of them. It has to be the fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one's life journey may become an experience of moral growth, so that one may leave life a better human being than one started it. It is imperative to review the table of widespread human values. Its present incorrectness is astounding. It is not possible that assessment of the President's performance be reduced to the question of how much money one makes or of unlimited availability of gasoline. Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you will seek truth and love it above comfort, you will be going against the flow. Our society has become focused on self-satisfaction and comfort above what is true and right.
“Our life consists not in the pursuit of material success but in the quest for worthy spiritual growth. Our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage in the movement toward something higher, and we must not stumble and fall, nor must we linger fruitlessly on one rung of the ladder. Material laws alone do not explain our life or give it direction. The laws of physics and physiology will never reveal the indisputable manner in which the Creator constantly, day in and day out, participates in the life of each of us, unfailingly granting us the energy of existence; when this assistance leaves us, we die. And in the life of our entire planet, the Divine Spirit surely moves with no less force: this we must grasp in our dark and terrible hour.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Hebrews 1:1-3 - "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high"
One thing Aleksandr and I well understood was that God will win out in the end. If I see the United States fall, if I see the spread of tyranny seem to win for a short time here in the land of my birth, I yet know that God made the world and He will decide when and how to end it. When God decides to accomplish something, it will be done. Our lives are short and those who remember us soon join us in leaving this temporal existence and then discover the joy of fellowship with God or the disaster of eternal damnation. Love will win out over hate and Truth will win out over deceit in the end.
“It is here that we see the dawn of hope: for no matter how formidably Communism bristles with tanks and rockets, no matter what successes it attains in seizing the planet, it is doomed never to vanquish Christianity.”
