Darwin's Birthday

So I was reading a little bit at the Institute for Creation Research website. If you haven't ever been there, definitely go check it out. It's what one calls real science. So I was reading, and I discovered that the month of February houses Charles Darwin's birthday. Yay, right? Then I discovered that people across the globe are throwing big parties to celebrating Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. "Hang on", I thought to myself. "Why does Darwin get a big birthday bash? What about Newton or Einstein, or Kepler and Galileo, why don't they get parties?" What's so special about Darwin? I thought some more. And here it is.

These people are celebrating Darwin and the separation of humanity from the oppression of religion, and not just any religion, but Christianity which is the only belief out there that gives any kind justification of where everything came from and why. But don't people know what they are cheering on really? I'll tell you. It's hopelessness. Yay, we're all decendants of monkeys created by random chance. We have no spirit, no eternal purpose, and when we die... well, we don't know. We guess we'll be nothing.

It saddened me to read this. Nihilism is a terrible and hopeless situation. If I could meet one of those guys, I think I would ask them, "Why are you excited that you are worthless and your life is meaningless?" Dear people, do you even know what you are saying? Don't you just want to tell such people about Jesus? Here! Live for something, love for something!

Lord, reveil to these people their folly. Open the eyes of their hearts to Jesus. And give your sons and daughter boldness to speak the truth of your name. Amen.
