I have another little tome, by Hank Hanegraaff, called "Fatal Flaws: What Evolutionists Don't Want You to Know." It is a nice little book, small, fits comfortably in the hand, is well-made, the paper feels good, the typeface is easy to read, the cover-art is eye-catching. Book-lovers like myself would like this book if it were judged only on esthetics. Hank is one of Phillip E. Johnson's proteges. Phillip kindly provided a blurb for the back of Hank's book.
So what is it evolutionists don't want us to know? The publisher says:
Hanegraaff keeps Christians from falling prey to corrupting scientific speculation about the origins of life and reminds us that we are God's creation. This commonsense approach puts the concept of evolution in the grasp of everyday Christians and reminds us that ultimately the key to our purpose in this life comes from understanding Whose we are and Who created us.
But here is what I learned when I started reading Hank's sweet little book - and I'm only on page 13!
-
Darwin was a racist.
-
Evolution is racist.
-
Hitler was a racist.
-
Hitler was an evolutionist.
-
Karl Marx used Darwinism to support his Christian-hating Communist philosophy.
-
"Marx's hatred of...Christians led to the mass murder of multiplied millions worldwide."
-
Marx's "economic experiment...eclipsed even the carnage of Hitler's Germany."
- Crusaders who killed in the name of Christianity - not Christianity's fault.
-
Hitler and Lenin/Stalin (racist, anti-Christian Darwinists) - evolutionary theory's fault.
So there you have it. What the evolutionists don't want us to know is that they are all a bunch of Christ-hating, Christian-killing commies. Little Hitlers, if you will. Because mark Hank's words, that's where evolutionary theory is taking you if you dare to displace God from the center of the world and put humans in His place.
And here I always thought Stephen Jay Gould seemed like such a nice guy. Go figure.
P. S. Were you, like me, still confused about the Holocaust? It's nice to have people like Hank to point out stuff like that whole Jewish thing of Hitler's just being a sideline of his Christ-hating Darwinism.

Thanks to Steve Reuland on Panda's Thumb for alerting me to this site via his excellent post on Intelligent Design vs. Creationism. His table will help you keep these entirely different belief systems straight in your mind.
The link is to a very enlightening interview with Phillip E. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is the Intelligent Design movement's leading propagandist and a very scary man. Here's a little quote from the interview with him:
Indeed, my philosophy is, when I do a serious debate, to play for a draw because I do not want my opponent and the audience going away saying, "That is one clever lawyer who can make you look like a fool in a debate." I want them to go away saying, "There’s more to this than I thought. We ought to do this again." All you have to do is get the right issues on the table and then you win. You don’t have to worry about it, because Darwinism is wrong, and it will self-destruct.
You see, they don't really care if they win their debates. Or their court cases. Because they have gotten the issues out there. And enraged the voting religious public. Which is an extremely effective political strategy, as Thomas Frank has detailed in "What's the Matter With Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America".
I have one of Phillip Johnson's books, "The Right Questions". One of the blurbs on the back informs us that in this book "the leader of the Intelligent Design movement broadens his critique of Darwinism into an attack on numerous well-known social and political attitudes." Inside, the first chapter is "Biology and Liberal Freedom - The Right Questions About Science, God, and Morality." (But please remember, although Mr. Johnson has been described as the leader of the ID movement, ID is not about religion...) Chapter Two is "The Word of God in Education - The Right Questions About the Religious Foundations of Education". (See disclaimer following Chapter One.)
You may be interested to know that the last chapter is entitled "The Ultimate Question". However, I do not think it in any way connects to the Ultimate Answer of LIfe, the Universe, and Everything, which we already know to be 42. No, this Ultimate Question is about the most important event in human history. I wasn't able to locate the most important event in human history but I did learn the following.
- Christian theism is THE correct worldview.
- Ghandi? Who's going to think he's so great after India and Pakistan fight a nuclear war?
- The genome project - probably going to be remembered as a very expensive delusion.
- Muslims - nonpragmatic, prone to believing their religious worldview is the correct one and trying to force it on everyone else. (Ahem...)
- Science - devoted to ideological causes and has abandoned the search for truth.
- America - "in the mid-twentieth century abandoned the complex religious understanding that had served the nation well until that time."
How did that last one happen? It was "the cultural triumph of Darwinism" that did in our pure-hearted religious folk. "...dogmatic scientific materialists...set about driving the Christians to the margins of society, denying them influence in government, education, or cultural life"
But "faith thrives in the long run when we are persecuted." So just get those Christians feeling like they are persecuted, even though Christianity dominates political, educational, and cultural life in this country, and watch those poll numbers climb.

Today's daily update from the Chronicle of Higher Education:
Justice Dept. to Sue Southern Illinois U. Over Graduate Fellowships for Minorities and Women
The U.S. Justice Department plans to sue Southern Illinois University over three fellowship programs reserved for minority-group members or women. Among the three programs being challenged is one that is financed by the National Science Foundation and operated according to NSF guidelines, university officials say.
If this opener has not made you puke up your breakfast cereal (SmartStart with fresh raspberries from Whole Foods - yummy), you, like Zuska, would read on to discover that Roger Clegg is behind all this. Yes, Roger Clegg, in his tireless pursuit of justice from his Orwellian Center for Equal Opportunity, has seen fit to urge the U. S. Department of Justice to sue Southern Illinois U. because, among other reasons, Southern Illinois U. at Carbondale has managed to recruit 78 "black, Hispanic, Asian American, and/or American Indian" students to its graduate school programs since 2000. Oh, and I forgot about those 27 women in the Graduate Dean's program in the last two years.
White men have thus been robbed of 15.6 fellowship opportunties per year between 2000 and 2003, and 29.1 fellowship opportunities per year in in the last two years. Of all the fellowship opportunities available at all the graduate schools in all the nation. During which time, in engineering alone, they constituted 80% of graduate students. Across the nation. That's about 155,000 men, just to give you a sense of scale here.
Perhaps the Justice Department could better spend its time by turning its attention to the Departments of Defense and Energy, and checking up on whether they are in compliance with Title IX, with their $9 billion, before it harasses poor Southern Illinois U. over its $200,000 worth of fellowships for bitches and colored folks.
