T had’s hand went up. “Doc, I still can’t put together why one scientist will find some scrap of bone and claim it’s a missing link, usually evolving to humans. It’s splashed across the headlines and on TV for a while; then six months later, as I have discovered, it’s quietly denounced by some other reputable scientists. Yet they all continue to claim evolution and millions of years are real and the truth.”
Jim, who had been turned in his seat facing Thad while making his pronouncement, swiveled back around and bemoaned, “Thad’s right, like that ‘Ardi’ and ‘Sediba’ apes; and ‘Ida’, that looks to me like some lemur monkey-like creature; and others since. There’s initially all that ballyhoo and now I hear very little about each of those creatures.”
“Excellent, you two are really using your heads and questioning the Matrix that wants to control you. That’s potentially very dangerous thinking that you possess.”
Maggie was eager to respond to Thad and Jim. She was very street savvy. I believed she would have the answer for them.
“Look guys,” Maggie said, turning to address them. “What’s it about … all of the time?”
Jim answered her. “The money!”
Thad responded right after him. “Power and control!”
Jim smacked himself on the forehead.
Thad rebounded, “Government research grants! Of course! The money! The socialists in power are not going to give money to someone doing creation research. It’s been staring me right in the face all these years, and I failed to see it. Of course, they would use the argument that they only give money for science research and don’t want to give money for religious purposes. Evolution being the science and creation being the religion.”
Thad slowly closed his eyelids, and his forehead wrinkled in deep anguish.
Jim’s temper flared as he pounded his desk. “The old separation-of-church-and-state excuse. However, in this case it’s really philosophy versus philosophy or religion versus religion. Why don’t they see it?”
“Some in power do, Jim,” I answered. “And others go along and support this because … well they want to; those are Lenin’s—”
“—useful Idiots.” Maria finished my statement.
“Look, I wanted to discuss Noah’s Flood to demolish the millions of years,” I said, “but this is just as important, as part of the overall process of destroying this concept; the ultimate goal of which is to control you.”
“C’mon guys,” I encouraged the class, “Marx and Lenin’s rationale and raison d’être is right in your faces. Just back up a bit and see the forest for the trees.”
Maggie was on it. “In order to control the masses in their country, Russia—which originally was a Christian nation like ours was—Marx and Lenin needed scientific support for their ‘share the wealth’ philosophy. And whose scientific writings did they use for this?”
Jim still agitated, almost screamed out, “Darwin, The Origin of the Species! And by then, Darwin’s buddy Lyell with his ‘millions of years’ lie had already been accepted by the church—the religious fools had planted the seeds for their own destruction.”
Maria stood up and turned to face her classmates. “In order to control people completely, you must destroy God. Our Constitution tells us our rights come from God and—”
“—our Constitution is a secular godless constitution!” Jude bellowed out.
“Good point, Jude. That is another lie that will be addressed by me in a future session of this class. For now, assuming that your assertion is true, if our Constitution has no biblical basis, we are back to fallible man deciding what is right and wrong.”
Both Thad and Nate tag-teamed Jude.
“Do you want another Robespierre with the French Reign of Terror?” Thad shot out.
“Or another Hitler or Stalin or Mao Zedong?” added Nate.
“All those societies killed millions of their own people, using their own man-made laws, having eliminated God and replaced Him with Darwin,” reinforced Thad.
“Jude, c’mon, do you want that happening to us here in the U.S.?” challenged Nate.
Jude did not respond. He sat silent with his arms crossed, facing forward, and his dark eyes appearing blank and dead.
