Charles Darwin despised the Christian faith. He said Christianity was “damnable doctrine”. Here is the symbol Darwin clung to toward the end of his life. He ornamented his walking stick with this symbol:

This sunday, 618 Synagogues of Satan will honor Charles Darwin (a despiser of Christ) on Evolution Sunday 2008. I would recommend that these churches stop pretending they are Christian churches, and substitute Darwin’s walking stick for their Christian crosses. That would be more honest as it would tell the world where they really stand in relation to Christian doctrines.

Darwin rejected the idea of God’s amazing grace. Christian theology claims that the universe which we humans inhabit is not the only realm. Jesus said he was not of this world, and this implies there is another world, a much better world. As I have pointed out in Great Novelist in the Sky (Part I and II), the quality of what is good and wonderful my be defined by what is bad and destable. The glory of heaven where the Intelligent Designer will live eternally might be partially defined by how bad and awful other places are, such as this world. The beauty of springtime is partially defined by the harshness of winter. The quality of a hero is more evident because of the existence of villains. Thus all the bad designs in this world might be part of a larger purpose in the scheme of things. We know however even if they are “bad” designs they are still intelligent designs, much as we accept biological weapons as intelligent designs, albeit bad designs….

Darwin couldn’t understand all the cruel and “bad” designs in this world. That’s because he was a shallow thinker and couldn’t accept other possibilities….

Christian theology claims that the Intelligent Designer who made life also made the plagues of Egypt. The same Intelligent Designer who made beautiful children, designed the bearing and raising of children to be excruciatingly painful. But if this miserable world is only part of the story, if it is only a chapter in a larger tale, then “bad” designs can be seen to be ultimately good designs in the larger scheme of things.

It is human nature to hope that we are lovable in the eyes of the Intelligent Designer, rather that objects of His wrath. To say, “God loves humanity” is too simplistic. Christian theology states the situation is far more complex.

Like rodents and maggots are to us, much more are finite imperfect humans beneath an infinite perfect God. We would hardly give much thought to the suffering of rodents and maggots as we poison, mutilate, incinerate, and otherwise dispense with these creatures for our good pleasure. We would be offended that rodents and maggots would try to dictate the standards by which humans ought to act, that they somehow have the right to be loved and provided for. By their sheer act of even existing, they are an offense. That is their original sin.

Christian theology claims we humans are in a similar boat in relation to a perfect God. According to the Bible, humans are the “children of darkness”, the offspring of Satan by birth. This of course is not something we would like to think of, especially of our loved ones. But bear in mind, disgusting creatures like cockroaches and rats exhibit affection for loved ones as well — but the exhibition of affection does not negate the fact they are still disgusting cockroaches and rats. These creatures may think well of themselves and their right to exist. They may think well of their rodent communities and all the love and affection that abounds there, but in the realm of human affairs they are still detestable.

This fact is analogous to the human condition and our relation to God. In His eyes, we were the offspring of Satan. This world with all its misery is the domain of Satan. Life in this universe was Intelligently Designed to live, suffer, and finally die via genetic entropy and thermodynamic entropy. It was ordained. It was prescribed. Christian theology calls the Devil, the “god of this world”. If so, then the present misery seems in line with Christian theology…

If we accept the idea that the Intelligent Designer made the universe, we must come to terms with the fact He also designed all its problems (including genetic and thermodynamic entropy) as part of His purpose. The book of Genesis make it very clear that the snake, the Devil, was an intelligent creature which God made. The book of Revelation makes it clear, that the sufferings of the Lamb of God (Jesus) was ordained from the foundation of the world. It is not a pleasant fact, but suffering and pain was forseen and planned. It was by design, it was planned, it was prescribed by the Great Novelist in the Sky. “The Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world.” But the book of Romans teaches, the Intelligent Designer will work all things for the good of those that love Him. The Great Novelist in the Sky who wrote the chapters about the villains will also write the chapters about the heroes.

The meaning of “God is a loving God” is not so simple. He is called a loving God because He has mercy on creatures that ought to be the objects of his wrath. As we would have little love for a cockroach, it is amazing that God would love the offspring of Satan, humans. That is the meaning of amazing grace.

He sent Jesus to cleanse humans from their sins, any human who would trust in Jesus. Christian theology claims that some will be forgiven and taken to heaven because of God’s amazing grace. The mystery is not that there is evil, but rather that there is grace.

Of course I put forward theological claims. In principle, they could be fabrications of the human mind. Perhaps fiction, but then again, perhaps not. I believe they are not fabrications because the geneaology of Christ in Luke seems to be a more accurate representation of the history of humanity than what those dolt Darwinist anthropologists specualte about human origins. Cornell Geneticist John Sanford has done far better work that Francisco Ayala on human origins. Ayala is a bit of joke compared to Sanford.

Sanford’s genetic entropy will have empirical confirmation as Solexa Technology advances. I believe Sanford will be vindicated, and the fact that humanity is a recent phenomenon will be plainly evident to everyone except willfully blind homozygous Darwinists.

In light of these considerations, in light of the fact of genetic entropy, it would appear then that the book of Luke was inspired by a communication from the Intelligent Designer of Life Himself.

Formally speaking, the Christian theology and eschatology has not been formally proven, but in the tradition of hard empiricism, the claims will be ultimately testable and falsifiable. A million years from now, if the claims of Christian theology are true, everyone reading this weblog will know because you’ll either be in heaven or hell (where Charles Darwin will be)…..
