Well, once again the Mountain Express' resident pagan-scribe, Dick Dorworth, has reared his unbelieving head. This time for no other reason than to trash the word of God, and anybody else who dares not believe as he does.
In his insipid, Christian-bashing column concerning flat-earth believers earlier this month, Mr. Dorworth equates believing in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ to believing in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Bogeyman and a flat earth. It is hard to understand how this newspaper could actually provide this man with a forum to randomly attack the beliefs of nearly 2 billion people with his virulent, anti-God hate speech. But then again, we are talking about the Mountain Express.
At any rate, Dorworth continues on to express his profound amazement that some people today (read billions) actually believe that God created the earth and mankind. Dorworth just can't fathom how all those people could ignore the supposed massive amount of science that points to a natural event's being responsible for the formation of the Earth and its inhabitants. But, as one of a few people on the face of the Earth that has actually read both the Bible and Darwin's tome from cover to cover (the latter as part of a college requirement), I can honestly say that it takes more faith to believe in Darwin's version than God's. Throughout Darwin's book, he is constantly questioning his outrageously absurd and delusional findings, and at one point even dismisses his entire theory! The man was a crazed lunatic!
The truth is, there has never been one shred of evidence to support the fairy-tale myth of evolution (of the Big Bang theory, for that matter), and no credible scientist in the last 40 years has ever gone out on a limb to endorse such nonsense as fact. The absence of fossil records that would support macro-evolution (the notion that one species can evolve into another) is proof enough that frogs did not turn into birds, birds into monkeys, and monkeys into humans as Darwin suggests. If they did, then where are the fossil records showing that transition?
In conclusion, I think Mr. Dorworth should reread the quote he put in his column from one of his pagan Greek heroes—that whatever a man wishes to believe, that he will also believe to be true. Dick Dorworth can go on believing whatever tall tales he wants to—that's what free will is all about. As for me and my house, though, we'll choose God and the miraculous virgin birth of our precious savior Jesus Christ.
