We Can't Shut Up!

The Staff at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History wanted our tour guide to shut up!

But he knew his First Amendment rights.  

So they quickly posted signs throughout the museum warning that our tour was "unauthorized" and didn't represent the views of their scientists. It was 1990, and I was on a tour led by scientists from the Institute for Creation Research.

It's a Theory, Not a Fact!

The theory of evolution, so vigorously protected by the Smithsonian scientists that day, continues to be the foundation for science throughout the world.  Reducing man to nothing more than an evolved animal without moral accountability, evolution has promoted (among other negative things) racism, communism, Nazism and eugenics.

Racism

Racism was a tenant of Darwin’s theory. He considered blacks and aborigines ‘sub-species,’ whom the more civilized races would one day “exterminate, and replace.”(1) 

Deciding Who is Worthy of Life

Margaret Sanger, the admired founder of Planned Parenthood,(2) took Darwinism one step further and promoted eugenics. She felt “The most serious charge that can be brought against modern ‘benevolence’ is that it encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents.”(3)

Evolution has also under-girded oppressive government systems.

Communism

Karl Marx felt Darwin’s theory supported communism.  In a letter to Engels he wrote, "Darwin's book is very important and serves me as a basis in natural science for the class struggle."(4) 

Nazism

Ernst Haeckel promoted 'the destiny of the master race' by developing a form of evolutionary Nazism which Hitler included in Mein Kampf (1925).(5)  Edward Simon, a Jewish scholar wrote, "I don’t claim that Darwin and his theory of evolution brought on the holocaust; but I cannot deny that the theory of evolution, and the atheism it engendered, led to the moral climate that made a holocaust possible.”(6)

No Eyewitnesses to the Beginning

  

Because there are no human eyewitnesses to the origin of the world, neither evolution nor creationism can be proved scientifically. When the Smithsonian staff tried to silence our Creation Research tour in a public museum, the museum was not protecting the facts. They were protecting a faith-based theory that has spawned racism, communism, Nazism, and eugenics, all byproducts of evolution's atheism.

The Good News

On the other hand, when we promote Biblical creation, we promote a Creator who made men and women in His image for noble purposes, who loves and values all races equally, who fights oppression and brings life. WOW!  We can't shut up about that!
