Not Darwin again?!!!

As if you hadn't had enough of Charles Darwin the BBC rolled out another 3 part, hour long offering called 'Dangerous Darwin' presented by one of the beebs big guns, Andrew Marr. It turns out that Marrs' interest in everything Darwinian goes back 20years and in an interview with BBC 'five live' Marr talks about evolutionary theory like some sort of Religion and Darwin as a saviour type figure, quite scary. For me Marr is one of the best commentators around when it comes to politics and his recent series on the political legacy of post war Britain was 'must see' as is his Sunday Morning Show. So it was quite an eye opener to listen to his 'five live' interview and hear how he has an almost evangelical passion for Charlie D and his writings. The programme, 'Dangerous Darwin' was quite clever in that it sought to distance the real or pure Darwinian thought from the less acceptable political, social and philosophical results of those who used Darwin's theories as a basis for there darker and more extreme actions. i.e. Nazism or apartheid. Marr tries to dismiss such things as an abuse or false interpretation of what Darwin was really all about but he cant be allowed to get away with sweeping aside the mayhem that Darwin's godless theory has spawned in the wicked heart of mankind. Its crush or be crushed. 'The survival of the fittest' as the weak and sickly go to the wall . Those who adapt live, those who don't die off and if man gives a little helping hand so what? euthanasia, abortion, ethnic cleansing maybe that wasn't in Darwin's mind as he searched for an alternative answer to creation but its certainly the awful and logical direction that fundamental Darwinism leads us in and that's a fact of history. As soon as we step away from the Bible and start to interpret things around us with our own understanding then it all starts to get confused and things start to unravel and degenerate. Scripture says: Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. acknowledge him in all of your ways and he will make your paths straight.

giving

The good people of these great islands (U.K.)dug deep in to their recession hit pockets this past week and parted with not far short of 560 million pounds. It was divided between two institutions of British life, Red Nose Day/Comic Relief and the Cheltenham Festival. Red Nose Day/Comic Relief is a charity event organised by the comic community and promoted heavily in the media culminating with an evening of prime time T.V. entertainment and appeals on behalf of those in desperate need around the world because of famine, draught, war or some such things. The Cheltenham Festival is a four day horse racing event and is the premier National Hunt meeting in the racing calendar. When it comes to investing in projects to help our fellow humankind who are in desperate need or sticking fifty quid on the horses; there is only one winner - so to speak! the horse wins every time. The split was fifty seven million pounds to Comic Relief and an cool £500 Million estimated to have been gambled on the Cheltenham Festival. What does that tell us? Well it tells us that at a starting price of 10/1 the Great British Public are more inclined to fritter away there money on the back of a horse than bother helping their fellow man in his time of greatest need. Perhaps it also confirms to us that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

partner!!

A BBC radio presenter recently described the thirteen year old girlfriend of a sixteen yr old boy, who incidentally he had got pregnant, as his partner. Are we serious? Can we really use the term 'partner' to describe the illegal relationship between a sixteen yr old and his under age girlfriend and then use exactly the same term to describe the 25 yr marriage of another couple? The truth is that no one wants to call a relationship what it really is anymore. Once upon a time two men who lived together in a sexual relationship were called Sodomites, a man who lived with another mans wife was called an adulterer and someone who had sex with an under age person was called a paedophile but in our new age of equality and enlightenment we mustn't let people feel any discomfort or feel that they may be doing something that's wrong and damaging for themselves and society so we must now call a spade a partner or we'll be in big trouble with the equality police. Actually in the eyes of those who desire the truth any sexual relationship outside of the marriage of a man and a woman is wrong full stop. Marriage is the only relationship that God ordained where a sexual relationship is allowed. 'Marriage is honourable' says the Bible. And so it is!
