Yep, the Evos come out with another sensational story. They capture the attention of the world press with supposed "proof" of evolution. What they don't tell you is that many in the field say the claims are exaggerated and often downright falsehoods.

Here is an article from paleoanthropologists who disagree with these claims.

"On the whole I think the evidence is less than convincing," said Chris Gilbert, a paleoanthropologist at Yale University. "They make an intriguing argument but I would definitely say that the consensus is not in favor of the hypothesis they're proposing."

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2 Thessalonians 2
King James Bible

Is evolution part of the coming strong delusion? What do you think?

I don't know John, that's a good question.

I always figured evolution to be a creation of man not God... I guess I see macro evolution of species and the "ascent of man" as a lie from the devil, (we have actually called it DEVILUTION)...

We know that God is not the author of confusion in churches, (1 Cor. 14:33) on the other hand God did create some confusion of languages at Babel... do you think evolution is a delusion of God?

Aloha brother Parrish,

It's ALL a "part" of HUMANISM - along with Psychiatry/Psychology, ("discovered" or "invented" around the SAME TIME, (i.e. the middle to the late 1800's) which "just happens" to "coincide" with the SAME TIME that the Bible "correctors" & Bible "deniers" finally got a "toe hold" with the W&H "Greek Text" and the English "Revised Version" - all of these men and their "perverse" teachings and fairy tale "theories" came out of the faithless & Godless "University System" {Quite a "Coinkidence" - don't you think?}

The "Great Awakening" ("Biblical/spiritual"); the "Renaissance" (art/science, etc. ); and the "Enlightenment" (education, schooling, "scholarship", etc.) all started around the same time (1400's - 1500's) and coincided with the establishment of the "University System" - which laid the "FOUNDATION" for what we know today as "HUMANISM"; which actually is the "resurrection" of Greek Philosophy in "modern garb".

I believe that "HUMANISM" is at least a "part" of the the "strong delusion" spoken of by the Apostle Paul in the Book of 2 Thessalonians.

[2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness .]

HUMANISM is a "Religion/Philosophy" that is believed by the "MAJORITY" of the people in the Western world, but it is so clever, and so subtle, that most of its "adherents" don't even know or recognize that they have embraced a RELIGION! They don't even know that they have accepted a LIE in place of the TRUTH. In other words they are BLIND!

2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

This is what is taking place in the colleges and Universities across America and the Western world. This is what is taking place within the majority for "Christian" Colleges and "Christian" Bible Schools across America.

The APOSTASY takes place - FIRST in the "SCHOOLS" and then it SPREADS OUT throughout the "Christian" Denomination"s & Sects (i.e. the churches). This has been the M.O. (modus operandi) for over 500 years now, and most "Christians" haven't "wised up" to the CORRUPTION, IN ALL THOSE YEARS!

I personally believe that this one of the many "devices" [2 Corinthians 2:11] that Satan has created to "corrupt" the minds of both the lost and the saved; and unlike Paul, most "Christians" today are totally IGNORANT of them!

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Paul is writing to (addressing) Christians - NOT the lost!

1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of thetruth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. (Genesis 9:1)

But the people didn't.

Genesis 11
1. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

The confusing of the languages seem to be as a result of the people not obeying God. Do you think maybe God knew if the people stayed there in one place with one language that it would make it easy for Satan to have influence over them, maybe establish one government with his man as the leader? Just a thought.

As far as evolution;

Romans 1
18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Colossians 1
16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Good point brother. I see the confusion of the languages as a preventative first strike against godless technological advancement of some type, and GODLESS UNITY. It seems they wanted to build a massive TOWER of some sort—perhaps religious (to reach to heaven) and they wanted a CITY for commerce. They had a vision, they imagined great progress, but it was not God's plan it was THEIR HUMANISTIC PLAN, and God was not in it. So it seems that Satan already had influence over them and God was concerned about where this construction project would lead. As we can see from the rapid advance in human cloning and the nuclear bomb, human intelligence is amazing. Even in a cursed state, millions of human minds working in unison can be a dangerous thing... ("now nothing will be restrained from them"). It appears that Mankind needed an "intervention" to slow things down.

Since this time, modern man has been trying to create ONE WORLD and ONE PEOPLE out of many 24/7/365 days a year, and their is no sign of letting up. If you are a child of the 60's like me, you can't help but see the irony in a song by the former Beatles star named John Lennon called "IMAGINE," (see vs. 6: they have IMAGINED to do") the song ends up with the "WORLD WILL LIVE AS ONE." I have pasted the song below, it is now the official theme song for the World Socialists, as shown here:
http://www.worldsocialism.org/articl...ohn_lennon.php

vs. 6. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have IMAGINED to do."


Imagine
by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

[Winman]

Bro Parrish

I like the way you posted the lyrics to Imagine by John Lennon. This song is a perfect example of humanistic thinking. First, it believes that man can solve his own problems without God. In fact, these humanists regard God as superstition that actually prevents the evolution of man.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Then John wants to hold hands with everybody and have a one world government. But once again he takes a swipe at religion.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Then the chorus. Nothing more perfectly reflects the pompous conceit of these liberals. Notice how John says "I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one". How pompous can you get? John is saying that he is not to blame or fault for the world's problems, it's the religious and patriotic folks who are to blame. If we could only get rid of our guns and Bibles (I had to take a little swipe at Obama here) hold hands around the campfire and sing for world peace, then all the world's problems would disappear.

And the last verse is nothing but socialism. Oh, it's wrong to work hard at an honest occupation to take care of your family. It's wrong to buy a nice home to protect them, clothes to keep them warm, and food to keep them healthy.No, we should give it all away, even to those who do not put in so much effort to provide for themselves.

Very good points brother—and despite the typical mantra against God and country, the fact is it was SOCIALISM that gave rise to Mussolini and Fascism. SOCIALISM gave rise to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. We must never forget this.
