The Bible or Darwin?
Welcome to the online home of If My People Ministries. Did you know that Charles Darwin was never educated as a scientist at all, but was educated at Christ's College Cambridge to be an Anglican pastor? Did you know that Mr. Darwin was well aware and admitted in his writings that the evidence was contrary to his theory of evolution? Did you know that the head of the geology department at his university read Origin of the Species and wrote to Mr. Darwin? He said "parts I laughed at until my sides were almost sore" Did you know that in his second major work, eleven years after Mr. Darwin introduced the idea of evolution, that he lamented in the introduction that none of the chief scientists of his day had accepted his ideas of evolution? Did you know that Richard Owen, the scientist that coined the word "dinosaur," never accepted Mr. Darwin's ideas of evolution? Did you know that Darwin's contemporary, Harvard professor J. Louis Agassiz remained a staunch opponent throughout his life? And that Harvard, at that time, set up an anti-evolutionary museum? Did you know that although Mr. Darwin was a member of his local church, in his private letters, he admitted total hostility to Christianity, God and the Bible?
Even Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001 A.D.) - an agnostic who left Christianity, stated:
"How the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection managed, for upwards of a century, to fasten itself like a superstition on so called enlightened opinion? Why is the theory still defended so vigorously? Personally, I have little doubt that scientific historians of the future will find it mysterious that a theory which could be seen to be unworkable came to be so widely believed. The explanation they will offer will I think be based less on the erroneous nature of the theory itself and more on the social changes and historical circumstances that surround its development." (Hoyle, Sir Fred, The Intelligent Universe, Holt, Rinehart & Winston, NY [1983] p 25)
Did you know that the head of the geology department of Cambridge University, the college where Charles Darwin earned his theology degree,after reading Mr Darwin's work On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection for the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, stated in a letter to Mr Darwin:
"Parts I laughed at until my sides were almost sore!"
Other parts he condemned as being misleading. And this was the man who gave Mr Darwin a two week crash course on geology so that he would be somewhat prepared to act as an unpaid ship's scientist on Mr Darwin's cruise around the world on the HMS Beagle. His name is the Reverend Dr. Adam Sedgewick. (http://www.ucmp.berkely.edu/history/sedgwick.html)
On this site you will learn why you can believe the Bible as plainly written. You will learn that Mr. Darwin knew his imagined ideas - now called evolution - were contrary to the evidence of his day. You will learn that the dating methods have been rejected by evolutionists more than 50% of the time. In short, you will learn that everything which has been used to attack Bible truth is either clearly wrong or based upon the imagination of mens minds. On this site you will find teachings, tracts, Bible studies and booklets. None are copyrighted at this time. We only ask that if you use our materials, you let us know - and under NO circumstances are you to copyright them! They were freely given to us by the Lord, and they are freely given to you. We expect you to allow anyone to use them. Most, if not all of them, are for the sole purpose of rescuing people who are on their way to the eternal torture of the Lake of Fire.
As you know, your sins have earned you eternal death. That's the bad news. The good news is that God has provided a payment of your death penalty. God became flesh when He was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. He died a cruel death on the cross to pay for the sins of man. Jesus offers you a legal pardon. To accept His offer you must admit that you are guilty of the sins and deserve the death penalty. He has already paid the death penalty for you. In effect, He pled guilty to your death penalty sins. When your death penalty is announced at the Judgment, He will say something similar to this:
"I have paid that death penalty. They have accepted My death in their place. They are therefore righteous as if they had never sinned. They do not have to go to the Lake of Fire but may enter into heaven in the place I have prepared for them."
NOW, THAT"S GOOD NEWS! For a more detailed explanation, see our "Big Question" tract.
