Article #391

A book was published in Britain during World War II titled “The Road to Serfdom.” It shook up political discussion all over the world. The author was Frederick August Hayek (1899-1992).
The book has been translated into 20 languages and sold over 2 million copies. Several condensed, abridged versions by Reader’s Digest and others sold millions more and reached a wider audience of non-academics.
Hayek explains that socialism is centralized economic planning which leads to political centralization of power. Socialism is totalitarianism. Socialism involves almost a total loss of freedom for the individual and the concentration of power in the hands of a few at the top.
Hayek goes to Great lengths to show that fascism is not anti-socialism. Remember, this was published during World War II, during the war against fascism in Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan. Nazism is national socialism. Communism is international socialism. They’re both socialist. They’re both totalitarian.
Why Socialism is Opposed to Individual Freedom
Socialist totalitarian dictatorships are extremely brutal, immoral and unchristian. Human beings, created in the image of God, are degraded and stripped of their freedom. I’ve long maintained that totalitarianism rose up because of widespread rejection of the Bible and the Bible’s high value of the individual.
Europe was the first continent to abolish slavery. Chattel slavery ended more than a thousand years ago in Europe because Europe was Christian. The fruit of biblical revelation is the sacredness of human life upon which is based all concepts of human rights.
Atheistic Evolution is the Foundation of Socialism
The principal reason why socialists have rejected the Bible is because of the theory of evolution. In the schools of communist and fascist countries, much emphasis is given to teaching evolution.
Secular minded socialist people believe human beings are simply the products of nature. Secularists believe we have evolved by happenstance, by accumulated genetic mutations, from animals into human beings.
Jesus said “Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). Let’s look at the fruit of secularism, socialism and totalitarianism. If human beings are simply the products of nature then humans can be treated like animals. Humanity is degraded under socialism. We butcher and eat animals. Fascism and communism butchered millions of people.
Darwinian evolution leads to atheism which leads to lawlessness, fascism, communism, genocide, abortion and sexual immorality. Evolution is the origins myth of secularism from which all godlessness and lawlessness emanate.
The principal political philosophical advance of the 20th century was totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is total government. Totalitarianism is a return to serfdom. Secularists put into practice what German philosopher Friedrich Hegel said: “Government is god upon the earth.”
The Road to Damnation
These secular totalitarian people who reject God are walking down the road to damnation. If they don’t repent they’ll be separated from God in the afterlife. They’ll be separated from God’s love, joy and pleasure. They’ll be isolated in darkness and in loneliness that bites like flame.
Three Scientific Riddles Prove Evolution is Impossible
If you disprove evolution you destroy the very foundation of socialism, communism, fascism and all other forms of totalitarianism.
The “Three strikes, you’re out” method of refuting Darwinian evolution focuses on three riddles Darwinism cannot solve. There are many other riddles evolution cannot solve but we’ll focus on just three. These three riddles are:
1) Due to the extreme complexity of the simplest living cell, the first life could not possibly have formed by random collisions of atoms in the early earth.
2) The science of genetics proves that genetic mutations are destructive errors in the DNA. Mutations don’t add useful information to the DNA. Mutations degrade and garble genetic coding. Mutations don’t add the new, properly sequenced base pairs to DNA to build new biological structures.
3) The fossil record shows numerous examples of fossils out of order, including hundreds of examples of modern looking bird and mammal fossils in the Cretaceous dinosaur rock layers.
Let’s look closer at each of these three riddles one at a time:
Riddle #1
The first riddle is the fact of the extreme complexity of the simplest living cell. Origin of life biologists are so perplexed they don’t even agree on a standard theory of a random process for how DNA, RNA and proteins could have formed by chance and assembled themselves into a living cell.
Science works against Darwinism here because the more microbiology progresses, the more it reveals the irreducible complexity and interdependence of structures within the simplest of single-celled organisms.
For instance, a single-celled algae is able to produce sugars by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is an extremely complex process involving a multitude of enzymes and co-factors to turn light energy into chemical energy.
Seventeen enzymes are required to assemble chlorophyll. Each enzyme is a complex molecule. If one enzyme is missing chlorophyll is not made. There are many additional steps to enable photosynthesis.
Evolutionists claim photosynthesis came about by accident, by random unguided processes in the early earth. There is, however, no conceivable step by step process that could produce the complex proteins and enzymes and assemble them by happenstance into photosynthesis structures within cells even in a billion years.
Riddle #2
The second riddle is genetic mutations.As the field of modern genetics progresses we learn more and more about mutations to DNA. The DNA molecule is a long string of nucleotide base pairs which contain design information like words in a book. Genetic mutations scramble or delete nucleotide base pairs in the DNA.
Evolution requires the addition of vast amounts of new, precisely ordered information into the DNA. Mutations result in degraded information, garbled information or loss of information but never adding the type of quality information that could have put feathers on a reptile to make a bird.
Even mutations that cause duplication of a gene don’t add information but merely duplicate information that was already in the DNA.
Mutations are typically caused by radiation or toxic chemicals that interfere with the replication of DNA during cell division. Radiation and toxic chemicals don’t bring new nucleotide base pairs into the DNA to add new coding to the DNA.
It would take a huge amount of new base pairs added to the DNA, for instance, to add the design of wings to enable a small rodent to evolve into a bat. Not only do thousands of new base pairs have to be added to the DNA but they have to be properly sequenced. Random processes simply cannot do this. The science of genetics is no friend of Darwinian evolution.
Riddle #3
The third riddle is how the fossil record is inconsistent with evolution. Dr. Carl Werner, in his book “Living Fossils” gives much evidence, presented in a scholarly, academic way that documents the fact that mammal and bird fossils have been found in the Cretaceous rock layers among dinosaur fossils.
Dr. Werner visited sixty natural history museums and ten dinosaur dig sites in seven countries and consulted paleontologists who revealed the finds of owls, ducks, parrots and other modern birds among dinosaur fossils. Mammal fossils have also been found in abundance among dinosaur fossils. The mammal fossils resemble modern squirrels, beavers, primates and many others.
This, of course, is totally inconsistent with Darwinism and refutes the theory. Darwinian evolutionists claim dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds yet many modern birds are fossilized together with dinosaurs.
The Fossil Record is Consistent with Creation
The fossil record is consistent with the longstanding creationist claim that an intelligent designer, namely the creator God, created all living things in substantially the same forms as they are today. God created life that reproduces “after their kind” (Genesis 1:25). One kind of animal does not reproduce into a different kind of animal.
In the three riddles, science is working against Darwinian evolution. New findings in microbiology, genetics and the fossil record are undermining the claims of evolution. The long knives of scientific facts are circling Darwinism and cutting it to pieces.
As Darwinian evolution is exposed as inconsistent with documented scientific evidence, it is rejected by more and more people. The secularists have no other origins myth to replace the crumbling evolution hypothesis.
Many Scientists and Philosophers are Becoming Creationists
The bottom line is that all people, including scientists, philosophers, socialists and totalitarians, must return to the creator God. I’m pleased and encouraged by the growing number of scientists and others who have become creationists. Some have affiliated with the Institute for Creation Research and other creationist organizations.
Many secular scientists have become part of the Intelligent Design movement and have affiliated with The Discovery Institute based in Seattle, Washington.
The Bible is Proven by Fulfilled Prophecies and Miracles
The collapse of evolution has caused many people to take a new look at Christianity. When Jesus came to the Jewish people, He worked miracles of healing in the presence of eyewitnesses that proved He was sent by God. Miracles of healing still occur today in meetings held by Christian evangelists and pastors.
Jesus came in fulfillment of over 300 Old Testament prophecies. The prophets foretold that Christ would live a sinless life and suffer and die, taking upon Himself the penalty we deserved for our sins, thereby making atonement.
The Old Testament prophets foretold that Christ would suffer and die for the sins of the people. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him [Christ] the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6 written 700 years before Christ).
A One-On-One Relationship with God Through Christ
Everybody gets what they want. If you love and serve God in this life, you get to be with God in the afterlife. If you choose to reject God in this life you will be separated from the goodness of God in the afterlife. Choose to be with God!
Christ rose from the dead to offer forgiveness of sins to all who call upon Him. Those who receive forgiveness walk with God in a personal one-on-one relationship with God. It’s a love relationship with God! Turn to Christ today to receive forgiveness of sins!

Steps to salvation:
Jesus said “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).
Prayer to receive salvation:
“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
To receive the salvation that Jesus purchased for us at the terrible cost of His suffering and death on our behalf I invite you to pray this simple prayer:
“Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus, the promised Messiah, to die for my sins. I admit that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit to empower me to serve you under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer in the humble sincerity of your heart then you have received everlasting life, which includes power to live right in this life and entrance into heaven in the afterlife!
