Creationism vs Darwinism
What is the purpose of life?
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth.
-Genesis 1:1
What is the meaning of life? This has been long pondered by philosophers for years. People would spend their entire lives trying to solve this puzzle. To me, the answer lies within our presuppositions. What do we assume had to happen for us to exist? Were we created by an all-powerful being that we call God or did we evolve randomly from some single-cell organism? This is the fundamentals of Creationism and Darwinism and I feel this question is absolutely crucial for our day to day lives. If we were created, that would assume we were created with a purpose but if we are just here because over 8 billion years a single-cell organism just happened to evolve into what we are today, then there is no purpose and at the very least, you could say we are just here by accident. I'm not going to lie, I'm a Creationist and I believe without a doubt that we were created by God so that means that we have a purpose, unless God just did it for the hell of it just to watch us struggle. For the record, I don't believe that. If you want to know why I believe we were created and why I believe the Darwin theory is utter gobbledygook, well, you are just going to have to keep reading.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
The Age of The Earth
From Darwin’s quote above, it is obvious that Charles Darwin never took the time to understand the fall of man. This is an issue I see with a lot of people who chose not to believe in God. They have the idea that if the world is not perfect then God is impossible and it is illogical given that if they understood Christianity, this answer is solved as man was given free will and chose to defy God and let the disease of sin into the world and that caused the fall that brought about radical changes to the created world. This is how most people have fallen for the theory of evolution, or, Darwinism which says all biological life originated from a single source and over time (a long, LONG time), multiple variations of species started emerging as a result of what Darwin referred to as “Natural Selection”. This theory has also helped with the theory that the world has been in existence for Billions of years and they can “prove” this now through Radiocarbon Dating or, the more common term, Carbon Dating which is a method in which they measure the amount of radiocarbon is left in a dead animal or plant because, their theory is that when an animal or plant dies, the radiocarbon in it begins to decay so they can measure how much is left (giving the assumption they have an accurate way to know how much was there before the animal or plant died…) they can determine how old it is. They say that there is a lot of variables that can cause complications with this method such as burning fossil fuels and releasing more carbon into the atmosphere, see how that coincides with Climate Change? Look, I am no scientist or a biologist so this theory could be correct but the problem that I have is with the people who will defend this theory with have little to no knowledge on what it is. There is a lot that has to be presupposed to accept this method; their equations are correct, the equipment they use can detect radiocarbon in a sufficient manner, and also, the biggest presupposition is that radiocarbon has to actual be a thing and not something a guy wearing a lab coat made up!
People however do accept this notion and hold to it as almost a faith as I have tried to have conversations with people who believe this and just think I am being “naive” to not trust the lab coat people who OBVIOUSLY have my best interest in mind and not just trying to put themselves on a pedestal, believing themselves to be gods, but they have no arguments to refute my claims that it is all gobbledygook, I am not a scientist so I am not able to read scientific documents that SAY this is just a theory so what do I know. The world has truly been around for a bazillion-gazillion-fafillion years...seems plausible. (*HEAVY SARCASM*) Oh and let us not forget the first person to posit the Earth's incredible age was Lord Kelvin, who is a member of the Royal Society (just saying, if you don’t know those guys, they were huge in science propaganda. We have all been engineered to think the way we do so STOP IT), who estimated the Earth was between 20 million to 400 million years old in 1862 based off his calculations that if the Earth began as a molten mass (hell of a presupposition), he determined how long it would take for the Earth to cool down. So he believed Earth was a big ball of lava floating through space and somehow water suddenly emerged…OK! All of these people who promote these ideas are all Naturalist meaning they only see things in this world of having a material nature and reject anything metaphysical and believe that matter is the only thing that exists so obviously, since God is not matter He cannot be real and this is the root of all of these theories but we know for a fact the there are metaphysical aspects of this world but I will talk about this later.
Natural Selection
Why do we have ten toes, ten fingers (shut up, don’t say 8 fingers and 2 thumbs! DON”T DO IT!), two eyes, one heart, one stomach, etc.? Darwin posited that this is a result of Natural Selection, a theory that over a long period of time, creatures began adapting to better function in this world. Like the picture above, the only reason a giraffe has such a long neck is so it can eat leaves out of a tree because there are too many other animals eating plants on the ground so there wasn’t enough for them. Seems rational, right? So does that mean that since we are still susceptible to diseases and cancers will we eventually evolve to be better and avoid all of that? Guess we will see in a few million years, that’s if Climate Change doesn’t kill us all before that. Fun fact, evolutionist say that our heart used to be a one-chambered pumped heart and now we have a four-chambered heart...EVOLUTION! This means that, according to the Darwinian, the only reason our eyes, nose, hands, etc. are located where they are is because through millions of years, the human body continued to change until we were more sustainable, not quit sure how they can prove this but apparently it has something to do with rocks and animals that have similar DNA to us and they know this because of something they call “Common Descent". Through this method they also say we are closely related to strawberries because 60% of our DNA is similar...SCIENCE! This was a big part of Darwin’s theory on evolution and he came to this realization from noticing that the different variations in species had to mean that over time, the variations were happening over time and that they must be useful. There are two parts to Natural Selection that Darwin theorized, one being microevolution, which is small adaptions happening over a long period of time and macroevolution, the changing of species over time. Now, microevolution I will grant can probably occur and I don’t think that it will completely negate creationism seeing how it is just small adaptations that could happen over time to allow species to adjust to their environments like how certain fish in the deep ocean adapt to their cold and dark surroundings and also in humans who live in extreme weather conditions that others aren’t used to. Macroevolution, on the other hand, can not be proven and if it could, it would be a better argument against creationism (although I would probably still reject it) as new species could arise out of other species but that is something that science can not prove. With all this in mind, it is also important to note that Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, also wrote about evolution before Darwin. Fun Fact, Erasmus Darwin and two of Charles Darwin’s uncles were Freemasons...Darwin is not confirmed as a Mason but it is speculated that he was. It is known that he was a member of the Royal Society, which I will talk about them later. The most problematic part of this theory is with the advancement, and somewhat before, is that a thought that comes out of Natural Selection is Eugenics, trying to weed out the “undesirable” genes in society. You can see this in Erasmus’s work, Zoönomia, where he discusses the idea of “survival of the fittest” and how he and his grandson Charles Darwin talked about how Natural Selection would eventually fix the problem of overpopulation and how people will eventually run of resources if this doesn’t occur. Funny how all of the globalist today constantly talk about this. They could be onto something though, as we see with the transgender phenomenon, this could just be evolutions plan to solve the overpopulation problem. So if you believe in evolution, you must accept this hahaha.
Transhumanism
So what does this mean for our future? Well we can see with groups like the World Economic Forum who is leading the charge on creating a “Utopian Future” (Satanic) where there will be no suffering and everyone will be accepted and we will end all wars! Doesn't that sound like a dream? A dream is exactly what that is because to reach this dream we have to downsize the population, get rid of religion, those who are left will live in pods that are located in a 15-Minute City that you can only leave if you have the proper clearance, oh and don't forget to EAT ZE BUGZ! It's starting to sound more like a nightmare! So why do I mention this, it seems a bit off topic doesn't it? Well a big project that they call “Transhumanism”, not to be confused with the confusing Transgenderism although there are some correlations there. Transhumanism was coined in 1990 (nothing is a new idea) by Max More, CEO of Alco Life Extension Foundation which happens to be in the business of cryogenics, I wonder if they have Walt Disney? Effectively, their goal with Transhumanism is to speed up the clock with evolution because they don't have Billions of years to live and they are searching for the Fountain of Youth so they can live as long as they want...SCIENCE! They talk about using technology to enhance the human body to make us stronger, faster, more resistant to disease and oh yeah, live forever! People like Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, Elon Musk (not the savior yall were looking for) and more are all post-humanist and feel like humans are inferior and are due for an “upgrade”. They want to use microchips in the brain that will connect us to the internet and allow us to control tech with our minds and keep us immune from neurological diseases! But do you really think they plan to stream line this to the common folk? No way they look at us as lab rats, consumers and useless eaters who can just be manipulated in any-which direction. They want this for them and they are trying to sway us into accepting their conditions so they can get the world they want with little opposition because that can really throw a wrench in a plan that has taken centuries to come to fruition.

The Royal Society And The Age Of Enlightenment
After talking about the World Economic Forum (freakin globalist) I feel I should talk about the Royal Society seeing how every major scientist who pushed this theory, and other societal changing theories, were connected with this group and this group is responsible for pushing this into the public and making it a mainstream idea. The Royal Society (which, fun fact, Benjamin Franklin was apart of) began at the beginning of the 17th century and was fundamental to the Age of Enlightenment which opened the world up to the ideas of human happiness, the pursuit of knowledge obtained by means of reason and the evidence of the senses, and ideals such as natural law, liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state. A lot of people would look at that list and say that's all wonderful things and it brought us freedom...I would disagree. I would argue that these ideas have brought us the illusion of freedom and has also disassociated people's perception of the metaphysical and because of that, I would link all of those ideas to the growing degeneracy that we are seeing today. If you would like to read about my opinion on that, you can check out my article that I wrote about Morality. The Royal Society was initially referred to as “the invisible college”, a term that comes from a Rosicrucian pamphlet, which was a secret society that mixed Christian spirituality with science and alchemy but that is a topic for another time. King Charles II officially granted the Royal Society a Royal Charter in 1661 as he was fascinated with science and wanted to learn more about it. Through the years, the Society eventually gained their independence to function without royal decree and was responsible for promoting members of their Society such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, pretty much all of the big names in modern science. It was through the king's royal charter that the Society was able to accomplish most of their goals as this provided them with the funding that they needed. The Age of Enlightenment was the point in history people were starting to find a more rational way to look at the world. Before, religion was what people would look to for the answers for the day to day life but now, people were wanting to use science and alchemy to find their answers and most of the people that were doing this were simply looking for a way to reject the church. They didn’t like the message that Christianity was putting forward so they ventured to find their own way, a human reasoning of what life was all about and this is probably the defining period in history where we can trace where things went wrong as everyone was pushing for a more relativistic understanding of life.
A Problem With The Theory
So what is my problem with the theory of Darwinism? The main contention with this theory, as I stated previously, is that it completely ignores the metaphysical aspects of this world which are irrefutable and can not be denied. Everyone that has pushed this narrative into the public have all been Naturalist Philosophers where they only view the world from the natural and material sense, like I said, these people reject the metaphysical, transcendental reality. They believe that everything in this world can be viewed through our sense data; touch, smell, taste, hear and see. However, as I have written in other articles, this can’t be true because, for instance, numbers are true and they are very real but where can you find them in the natural, material world? How can you know that 2 is a 2 without drawing the number 2 or grabbing two objects? Were numbers just created by man? If that were the case, then we could change what numbers mean but, hopefully everyone would understand that this would make numbers nonsensical and meaningless. There are things in our world that we can not view through our sense data that we know exist and some people who try hard to reject this just say that you simply have to pretend that they are real...how much sense does that make? If you are simply pretending that the metaphysical reality exist then the same problem occurs with numbers, they are meaningless and can be simply disregarded. How does this tie into Darwinism? Darwinism says that through evolution, everything in our world is constantly changing and everything is chaos and if that were to be true then truth, morals, numbers, logic, etc. would not be an objective reality and they would be relative and constantly changing. Simply someone saying that something like evolution is true, however, is already presupposing the fact that truth is objective because to say that something is truly true then it can not also be false because that would a logical fallacy. It would break the Law of Noncontradiction that says that something can not both be true and not true because if evolution is true and everything is constantly changing that would make truth relative and subject to change so that would mean that it is impossible for truth to ever be objectively true. This is why any Materialist or Naturalist type of philosophy is simply incoherent and can not stand to a critical analysis. So if you are reading this and you are a Materialist...STOP IT! Another problem that comes out of this way of thinking is that it devoids man of any purpose in this world. For the Christian, our purpose was to participate in this world with God and become more united through engaging with God's energies. For the Darwinian atheist, however, there is no purpose. We are just here by accident and we just have to try and make the best of this life through physical satisfactions. This is why you see people delving further into degenerate tendencies because they are constantly searching for something to validate their existence and when they can't find this, it leads them down the road of Nihilism where there is no purpose, their life has no meaning so why does it matter what they do in this life. This is probably why we are seeing the rise in depression and why most people these days need a psychotherapist and tons of medications just so they can get out of bed in the morning.
Genesis, The TRUE Beginning
The truth of the matter is, is that our world and everything in it WAS in fact created and it was created by God. People who think that it is more plausible for our world to have appeared out of thin air and just start producing organisms and creatures have to use more faith than religious people have to use because if any of them are not completely full of pride and are willing to have their beliefs tested to the full extent, there is no way that any of their beliefs can be true because at the very surface of their beliefs is that everything is relative and nothing is an objective truth since everything is constantly changing. To really understand our beginning you do have to have the correct understanding of the beginning and not fall for some retarded idea that all religions are following the same God, it is simply not true. I know people will try to make that argument thinking that is sounds logical but this only because they lack enough knowledge of these religions to really understand that there are innate differences between all of the religions even if they all start with God creating everything because they all have a different understanding of who God is and what exactly happened in the beginning. To put this simply and not go through every religions beginning beliefs (I will probably write that sometime in the near future so subscribe to my Substack so you can read it) I am just going to tell you that Christianity has the most coherent understanding of the beginning of everything since Christianity believes in a Triune God who is eternal and is the essence of everything in this world and the metaphysical realities that we can engage with in our world is simply the uncreated essence of God, so every time you are using truth, logic, reasoning, morals, numbers you are engaging with God as He is the essence of everything. Now this is not me trying to make some Eastern mystical claim that God IS everything but He IS the essence of everything and we know Him through His energies. This is the energy/essence distinction that only Orthodox Christianity recognizes, while some other forms of Christianity might recognize it without realizing it, Orthodoxy actually has it as one of it’s doctrines and early church fathers have discussed this in great detail.
My Closing Thoughts
I know I might come off a bit abrasive when discussing the way that atheist generally think about the world but I don’t mean to sound like I am being condescending to them. I understand somewhat where they are coming from as I myself used to share a lot of these views but the only reason why I had these views is because this is pretty much the only thing that was presented to me and I never took the time to look deeper into this. I figured that if this was widely accepted around the world then this must be true. I think that if anyone really takes the time to truly look into this matter and humble themselves and accept the possibility that they could be wrong, I really think that this will be the conclusion that people come to but most people never want to admit that they could be wrong. Honestly, I myself could be wrong...I would say that someone has to show me some significant evidence to prove that and not some half-ass argument of saying that “you just believe in your sky daddy so you just reject everything else”, well obviously this can’t be true as if you have actually been reading this I am providing all of the links that I have read on these theories and they are simply illogical. People just need to humble themselves and realize that they have been brainwashed into believing this as these ideas have been injected into every aspect of our lives. It’s in our movies, our schools, everywhere that you turn you are being spoon fed this lie that humans were once monkeys when the lab coat weirdos can ACTUALLY prove that this is true. It is simply just a theory and the sooner that people accept this and reject the lies, there is a chance that our world can get slightly better. Maybe.
