John 8:44a
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning…”
Who do you think was the greatest mass murderer the world has ever seen? Adolf Hitler? Not even close. According to Creation Moments Board Chairman Mark Cadwallader, the greatest mass murderer was China’s Mao Tse Tung. During his political reign, Mao was responsible for murdering 77 million people while enforcing his “Great Leap Forward”, and he “purged” millions more during what he called “The Cultural Revolution”.
Interestingly, Mao is reported to have said the following: “Chinese socialism is founded upon Darwin and the theory of evolution.” Now, who’s the runner-up to Mao? No, it’s still not Hitler. The second greatest mass murderer was Joseph Stalin, who similarly saw the value of evolution to his plans for a collectivist state. He used purges, starvation and prison camps to force people out of their own property and into acceptance of the ideology where God is replaced by government. He was responsible for the murder of up to 40 million people.
The presumption that evolution is a scientific fact, disproving God and validating the philosophy of “might makes right”, has justified terrible atrocities in the post-Darwin twentieth century.
Darwinism isn’t just responsible for the physical death of millions, it has led to the spiritual death of many millions of people who prefer to live in a universe where God does not exist. Thankfully, God is opening the eyes of many to the truth found in the pages of the Bible – that we are not the product of evolution but were created by God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I personally know many people who are deceived by the lie of evolution. I pray that You will use me to help some of them get on the narrow path that leads to eternal life. Amen.
