Darwinian Evolution Debunked: A Critique of the So-Called Evolution of the Species

Macro evolution (one species through adaptation in nature developing into a whole new species) was the biggest scam to come out of the 19th century.
Darwin was Satanically inspired to create his theory of evolution. He was greatly deceived as are any Christians that believe in evolution of the species, even so-called theistic evolution where God directs the evolutionary process is utterly false.
Darwin’s theory posits that in the struggle in nature, those who are most fit, the strongest, the fastest, the most brutal, will survive and flourish by passing on traits via gene which ensure their survival over other species which will die off.
To posit that simple naturalistic forces of nature alone determines the survival of the species is a huge error based on false presuppositions.
Man, unlike the animals in the natural kingdom, is unique. He alone possesses God give intellect and the ability to reason on a high level. This sets him apart from other animals who are in brute competition.
Man is able to override genetic advantages or weaknesses. And, in fact, technology has progressed so far that scientists can know even edit genes and manipulate the human genome.
Evolutionists will argue that human and chimpanzee DNA is so similar it must thus provided causal evidence of evolution in the distant past millions of years ago.
The fact that humans and chimpanzees share so much DNA in common is explainable in the simple fact that God is a very efficient and clever Designer. Also man shares a lot of common DNA with insects, it doesn’t logically imply we descended from some insect-man hybrid!
But like I said, the most important factor in the survival of the so-called fittest, as Darwin characterizes it, is not brute strength, speed, or specific adaptive skills. The single largest determining factor, by a huge degree, is our rational minds and our ability to reason and create and self-direct our progress or decline.
Another huge problem that evolutionists and theistic evolutionists have is the glaring lack of evidence of transitional forms in the fossil record. If millions of species over the course of millions of times adapted and changed transitional forms there would be literally hundreds of millions, if not billions, of transitional fossils documenting this directed process. But that is not what archaeologists and anthropologists find. They will take a skull from a human from 200,000 years ago and compare it to a modern human skull and notice differences which they offer as proof of evolution. The answer is simple, God created different species of mankind and some of them died off and some of them survived. It had nothing to do with evolution. And they were distinct species descended from Adam and Eve whom God created ex nihilo (out of nothing).
Further let us consider specified complexity. If one examines DNA and sees the staggering complexity of the human mind, our vision (eyes), and the whole wonderful structure of the body, consider that all of this complexity is encoded in our DNA. There is simply no way that something as complex as DNA could evolve from some biochemical soup. Mathematically it is impossible. The inescapable conclusion is that man was designed by an Intelligent Designer.
As you can see evolution is a scam and has been used by different bad actors as the basis for genocide and the death of millions of people. Darwin’s ideas on human evolution fueled a specific kind of racism, influencing generations to believe there were higher and lower (primitive and advanced) races (with so-called Caucasians at the top of the evolutionary hierarchy). Darwin’s views influenced a wide variety of evil people, including perhaps the most infamous of all: Adolf Hitler.
The bloodstained legacy of Darwin is highlighted in a new book from historian Richard Weikart, “Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism”. It explores Darwinian racism in the past and present. According to a write-up about the book:
“The work reveals how Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution shaped the views of Hitler and the Nazis, and how the Nazis championed Darwinism during the Third Reich. Guided by Darwin’s Descent of Man and by early Darwinists such as Ernst Haeckel, the Nazis viewed the “Nordic race” as superior to other races. Worse, they concluded that the Nordic Germans should advance human evolution by ridding the world of “inferior” individuals and races, and claiming more living space for themselves and their offspring. The results were forced euthanasia programs for “unfit” Germans, the Holocaust, and World War II.”
Here is an excellent 20-page article by Professor Weikart which covers the issues of Nazis and Darwinian evolution.
I also highly recommend reading Professor Weikart’s earlier book “From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany”.
As these books demonstrate Darwinian Evolution was Satanically inspired. It was used as the justification for all types of atrocities. The Chinese and Soviet regimes were strictly atheistic and also taught the principles of evolution. Think of the 100+ million victims who were murdered on the basis of this wicked system of evolution.
It pains me to see an increasing number of deceived Christians affirming theistic evolution. May God open their eyes.

Altered States Don’t Define Me

I am quite insane
I have a corrupted brain
My neurotransmitters
Are out of sync
It affects
The way I think
Some days I’m in
A dark malaise
Yet, in despair
Like hymn writer
William Cowper
Christ – I do praise
Some days I’m on
A manic high
I need sanity
To come nigh
At times I have
Terrifying psychosis
Yet my mind
Remains precocious
Sometimes I’m delusional
That is quite unusual
I may meow like a cat
Or bark like a dog
But thankfully
I never
Croak like a frog
I have found order
In chaos
And peace
Amidst conflict
Christ’s love
Is never derelict
I shall take my meds
And weather
The mental storms
I may not meet
The psychiatric norms
But I have a mighty
Lord and Savior
Who can help me
To alter my behavior
Pray for me please
And help as you can
Such is the effects

Who rules the Earth right now?

Satan. Illustration by Gustave Dore – Paradise Lost by John Milton The Issue
Who currently rules the earth: Satan or Christ? I will argue in this article that in fact Satan is master of the earth until Jesus returns at His Second Coming to claim the Davidic Throne and rule from Jerusalem for a millennium (1,000 years).
Context
Consider the following Scriptures:
When Jesus was in the wilderness for forty days, the devil came to Him and said this: “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6).
First John 5:19 says, “The whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”
Galatians 1:4 says that Jesus “gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age.”
The Bible clearly teaches that Satan is not bound and has dominion here. The world has been handed over to him, so for the present time he has control over it.Sovereignty
Christ is sovereign over everything, but delegates local sovereignty to kings and lords and presidents, and yes, even the devil who currently roams the earth.
Those who oppose the idea of Satan being ruler of this world assert that such an arrangement would nullify God’s sovereignty. This is a false dichotomy.
God is absolutely sovereign. Satan only has any degree of control because God allowed him to. He’s like a ferocious dog on a leash. God is the ultimate Master who controls all things for His glory and man’s good.
The notion of Satan being lord of the earth does not in any way impugn God’s sovereign character and power.
It should be noted that Satan’s time as ruler of the earth is limited by God. When Christ returns in glory and with all power and authority at His Second Coming (in the upcoming future), He shall assert Himself as ruler of this world and ascend to the Davidic Throne as prophesied.
Christ is Lord
Since I affirm Lordship Salvation (one must obey Christ’s commands if one is a true believer, and thus Christ is both Savior and Lord of your life) I am dismayed by Christians who have told me I can’t have Christ as Lord if I maintain that Satan rules the earth currently. This is, sadly, another false dichotomy. I fully affirm that Jesus is Lord and the absolute Master of the universe. Satan is only able to operate because he’s on a short. Christ holds that leash. Satan can only act within the constraints of God’s permissive will.
Some Additional Scriptures
“Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” – 2 Corinthians 4:4
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.” – Ephesians 2:1-3
Conclusion
We’ve demonstrated that Scripture clearly teaches the following:
- Satan was appointed lord of the earth, for a limited time, by God.
- God remains absolutely sovereign.
- Satan is on a leash, and Christ holds that leash.
- Jesus will reclaim authority over the earth at His Second Coming in the future.

Freedom in Christ

In the dawn
Of the new millennium
I lost my sanity
Chaos reigned
In my mind
Disconnected thoughts
Voices in my head
My eyes deceived me
Hallucinations abounded
I slowly
Became very depressed
Almost lost
The will to live
But at my lowest
With a fractured
Mind
I found Christ
Waiting for me
Choosing me
To save
To adopt
He is now
And forever shall be
My God
My Lord
And my Savior

God’s children: Natural Birth or New Birth

We’ve all heard the popular assertion, “We are all God’s children.”, but is this slogan really a true statement of fact according to Scripture?
In this article we shall examine that question and see what Scripture has to say about it.
If we carefully study and exegete Scripture relating to this topic, four things stand out in stark contrast:
- Scripture is clear, only regenerated, born again believers are God’s children.
At the time one is saved, they are adopted into God’s family. The context is we are spiritual children, not physical. The story of the Bible is the story of adoption. We Elect are adopted into God’s spiritual family as a chosen child of God. The logical inference we can make from these truth propositions from Scripture is that if only the Elect are God’s children, then all the non-Elect are not God’s children! So we are not God’s children by virtue of our natural birth (when we were born), but rather it is determined on the basis of our new birth in Christ. This makes some people uncomfortable. Nevertheless, as Christians we have a duty to stand on God’s Word. - Scripture is also clear that Satan is the father of the unregenerate.
For the totally depraved unregenerate, all their thoughts, ways, and inclinations are according to their nature. Thus they are wholly evil, all the time, and they are truly Satan’s children. They are God’s enemies, and they do his will, not God’s will. We can only do God’s will when we have been spiritually brought to life from being spiritually dead. - Scripture is clear that the unregenerate do not possess the image of God.
The number one rejoinder I hear, from people who believe every single person ever born are God’s children, is that we are made in the image of God; thus that proves we are God’s children. That is totally wrong. First being made in God’s image means we are created above mere animals (evolution is false and Satanic) and have self-perception and sentience. We can reason. We can create and destroy. However, as I argue in one of my blog posts (you can find it linked to below), I believe, as well as many of the leading Reformed thinkers, we lost this image in the Fall. The unregenerate do not have God’s image. This image is restored to us when we are regenerated. Certainly the unregenerate can reason. But they absolutely cannot reason and discern spiritual truths. - We can have absolute assurance we are God’s children.
Scripture says that the Holy Spirit communicates with our spirit that we are God’s children. This inner witness will be there for every regenerate person.
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Romans 8:16This Scripture relates to point 4 above.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14This Scripture relates to point 3 above.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 4:4This Scripture relates to point 3 above. This amazing Scripture informs us that God Himself has blinded the unbeliever’s (unregenerate) minds so that they cannot repent and have faith. Only when the Holy Spirit quickens their soul from a dead state to an alive state, and He imparts the gifts of repentance and faith, do they become regenerate and able to discern spiritual matters.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
John 1:12This Scripture relates to point 1 above.
Speaking to a group of Jews, Jesus says:
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44This Scripture relates to point 2 above. Jesus was speaking to the Jewish Pharisees, but the truth He conveys to us is applicable to all unbelievers.
“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great delight.”
Ephesians 1:5This Scripture relates to point 1 above.
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:10This Scripture relates to point 2 above.

A Rejoinder to Reformed Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists

Saints, for 20 years I’ve had only Presbyterians giving me hate, denigrating me, belittling me, ridiculing me, mocking me, being dismissive and haughty and insisting I am not Reformed. I finally got so sick of the abuse. I reached a breaking point, and that was the catalyst for my recent blog article on being Reformed.
When I shared my article, “A Response to Reformed Presbyterians: Semper Reformanda”, which you can view below at the link, on my Facebook timeline. It created a firestorm of controversy. I was mocked, insulted, belittled, my sanity was questioned, and my arguments were totally dismissed without being addressed. I’d say 95% of those Christians who responded failed to grasp the nuance of my arguments, and it went totally over their heads.
Despite literally dozens of people asserting that my article was garbage and that I was not Reformed, not a single one of them refuted a single argument I made. One person referenced the article, and was in error in what they said the article asserted.
I honestly believe the vast majority of people on Facebook who commented never read my article. Is it so much to ask for 20 minutes of their time to read it?
This blog post represents my final rejoinder to my critics and adversaries.
I’m getting tired of repeating myself, but I affirm a Reformed confession – the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. I affirm 95% of it, I differ only on eschatology and covenant theology. I AM REFORMED! In fact, not only am I truly Reformed, but I’m more Reformed than Presbyterians because I adhere 100% to Sola Scriptura and I have a reformed eschatology (premillennialism), a truly reformed hermeneutic (a dispensational hermeneutic – historical-grammatic contextual literalism), and I agree with Scripture on the Church-Israel distinction. Also because I reject the unbiblical practice of infant baptism.
I had many people on Facebook assert I don’t hold to the 1689 LBCF when in fact I do, I just differ on eschatology and covenant theology. So it seems ridiculous and intellectually dishonest to assert I must have 100% conformance to the confession when I agree with virtually all of it (95%). It seems some people are so bigoted they must deny me what is my rightful and proper designation to describe my theological beliefs. How sad and pathetic.
By the way, I’m chided for holding to dispensational views (I’m actually a leaky dispensationalist like Dr. John MacArthur), yet covenant theology is less than a hundred years older than dispensationalism (in it’s fully realized and codified state – major tenets of dispensationalism date back to the Early Church period). In fact, not a single Magisterial Reformer, such as Luther or Calvin, held to covenant theology! Yet Presbyterians and some Reformed Baptists act as if covenant theology is the sine qua non of Reformed theology. It isn’t.
We should keep in mind that the Reformed Confessions, as useful as they may be, like the 1689 LBCF, or the Westminster Confession, are in fact secondary documents subordinate to Scripture. They are not perfect. They are not God-breathed. Secondary documents, like confessions, theological books, sermons, and commentaries, are profitable tools that we can utilize in understanding the Scriptures, as well as honing in on what we believe and sharpening our doctrine, but only to the extent that they accurately and faithfully represent the Scriptures. We must always be Sola Scriptura Bereans in our study of Scripture and in our formulation of doctrine whether it be confessions or creeds.
As I briefly mentioned earlier in this post, asserting that I must have 100% conformance with the 1689 confession in order to affirm it ,when in fact I do affirm 95% of it and differ only on eschatology and covenant theology, is akin to saying if I eat 95% of an apple I didn’t really eat an apple! If you assume one must have 100% conformity to a confession that is just stupid. I will repeat myself ONE MORE TIME: I AFFIRM 95% OF THE LBCF! If you keep insisting that I am not Reformed or that I don’t affirm the LBCF I will have nothing further to say to you. I’m not going to spend hours arguing in circles with any of you anymore. Life is too short. If you reject all my arguments in my blog article on being Reformed that’s your right, but my article is my fullest and final exposition on my reasoning and my position!!!!
I am FULLY and truly Reformed and FULLY and truly a Reformed Baptist. If you disagree, that’s your problem. Nothing you can say or do will convince me otherwise. The truth is on my side!
In conclusion, let me say that despite the massive amount of hate I’ve received, I forgive them and do not hate them. I pray the Lord would open their eyes and show them how they’ve wronged me – a faithful brother in Christ. I pray they would keep reforming and come fully into line with biblical truth.

A Response to Reformed Presbyterians: Semper Reformanda

Background
The sine qua non of Reformed theology is soteriology. Covenant theology and certain types of eschatology are not essential core distinctives.
Sadly, the majority of Reformed Presbyterians seem to be so bigoted and locked into their infantile theological cliques that they look down upon and refuse to recognize believers such as Reformed Baptists as being worthy of the Reformed label. The arrogance and lack of charity is both astounding and nauseating.
Like the Pharisees, who Christ rebuked, they sat in the chair of Moses and demanded everyone obey them. The truth is that they were following man made traditions, rather than the Scripture alone.
These self-appointed haughty and smug gatekeepers of all things Reformed seem to take pleasure in informing other believers that they’re not Reformed! They need to humble themselves and repent!
Their argument for excluding folks like me is akin to arguing that only Germany is a European country!!
I have taken enough abuse from these myopic Presbyterians! I AM REFORMED!!!
Reforming What?
The principle of reforming comes directly from Scripture. The Reformers didn’t invent this concept, they recognized it and applied it. We should be continually reforming our doctrine to conform and match what Scripture teaches. Is there any Christians who are so arrogant they believe their interpretation of Scripture is perfect and infallible? I think not. If they did they’d be heretical and likely cultists.
For a detailed treatment of what it means to be Reformed please see my blog post referenced below, “What Does It Mean to Be Reformed?”.
Magisterial Reformers
Do the Reformers get to define what being Reformed means? No! They were a catalyst for theological discussion and rediscovery of doctrine, but they did not discover anything novel or new. The Reformation was a return to biblical orthodoxy. We should not confuse the non-essential distinctives the Reformers held, such as ecclesiology, the regulated principle of worship, eschatology such as amillennialism and postmillennialism, and covenant theology, with the essential core distinctives of Reformed theology which are defined by Scripture alone! Being good Bereans and Sola Scriptura adherents we know that ALL doctrine comes from careful study of the Scriptures.
Maybe being amillennial (a vestige left over from Roman Catholicism – seems in some areas the Reformers didn’t reform enough), and adhering to covenant theology was a popular position in the 16th and 17th centuries. However that doesn’t imply we modern believers must hold to it as if they are essential distinctives!
Confessions
These non-essential views made their way into Reformed confessions and once that happened the majority of Reformed believers became convinced that because a certain theological proposition was codified in a confession it must be both unchallengeable as well as an essential distinctive. This was a grave and tragic mistake.
Dispensational and Reformed?
As I argue in one of my blog posts, “Covenant Theology vs Dispensationalism: Towards a Definition of Reformed Essentials”, referenced below, one can be fully Reformed while holding to a dispensational premillennial eschatology. It is true that for some dispensationalists they have 2 different paths to salvation and a non-Reformed soteriology, but that is not so in my case. I consider myself to be a Reformed Baptist who agrees with 95% of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and who holds to a premillennial eschatology.
So Much Hate
Such is the hatred and bigotry of many Reformed Presbyterians that they even refuse to allow the label of Reformed to be used by 1689 Reformed Baptists who DO hold to covenant theology!
Some Reformed Presbyterians seem to hold to infant baptism (paedobaptism) as an essential core distinctive, but if one is a careful student of Scripture they will see that is wrong, and that the credobaptist position (believer’s baptism) is correct.
Observations
In my interactions with hundreds of Reformed Presbyterians online I’ve noticed the following:
- Some will deny you the Reformed label if you do not hold to infant baptism.
- Some will deny you the Reformed label if you hold to a dispensational understanding of eschatology.
- Some will deny you the Reformed label if you don’t hold to one of the historic Reformed Confessions 100% with no disagreement.
I will continue to be Reformed and carefully examine my doctrinal beliefs and compare them with what the Holy Spirit shows me in Scripture.
Just Who Is Truly Reformed?
I maintain that those Reformed like me, who haven’t turned off their minds and hitched themselves to 100% adherence to a Reformed confession without any possible variance, are stuck in the 16th century and have sadly never advanced past the non-essentials held by the Magisterial Reformers, such as Luther and Calvin, which they conflate with essentials, are the truly Reformed. I have Reformed beyond their static and anachronistic theology in the areas of eschatology and baptism.
Sola Scriptura
Sadly, many of these Reformed Presbyterians are guilty of the Appeal to Authority logical fallacy. I think for myself, I hold to Sola Scriptura and get my doctrinal beliefs SOLELY from Scripture. At the end of the day every Reformed confession, and every theological opinion of Reformers is subordinate to the authority of Scripture. But Reformed Presbyterians know this, so it’s odd that they have painted themselves into a corner doctrinally and cannot further reform. Sadly this is precisely what the Roman Catholic church did, and what the Magisterial Reformers rightly protested and challenged, even at the risk of their own lives.
Conclusion
In conclusion, let me say that I love my Presbyterian brothers and sisters. And it’s my fervent desire that they will reform further. This post was a long time coming and reflects over 20 years of animosity and bigotry directed at me by Reformed Presbyterians for holding to what I believe are biblical theological positions. And intentionally excluding me from their club. So this post may be a bit strident and reactionary. If I have offended you please forgive me. I will keep contending for the truth as God leads me into all truth! Soli Deo Gloria.
My closing advice: Semper Reformanda (Always [Be] Reforming) saints! Don’t let Presbyterians or any Christian bully, denigrate, belittle, or be dismissive towards you for being truly Reformed!

Untitled poem by my sister Vi
When I visited,
my Gramma
always
smiled
at me
and
I always yelled,
“Hi Gramma!”
My Dad
would be
sitting on
the flowered couch,
bothered by
the hot weather,
the Pirates
were on,
the overhead fan
whirred
but
it was
so hot
it really
didn’t help
much
and
after I sat there
for a while,
my dear Gramma
would yell (because the TV was so loud),
“Hey Vi – go to the cellar
and get a pop!”
my Dad
protested,
and Gramma
always said,
“Aww, Joey,
let Vi
get a pop! It’s hot out
there today!”
so I walked down
the narrow steps
and
I opened the big Fridgedaire
fridge (from the 1940s)
and a blast of cold air hit me,
and I say there, on the
beat up old couch,
