Alien amazement
I am a 15-year-old boy. My Dad subscribes to Creation magazine, and I enjoy
reading it.
It amazes me that people today will believe in aliens when they have no reason to
believe in their existence, but they say that they can’t believe in God because
they can’t see Him! There is a lot of evidence that God exists, but no evidence
that aliens exist. They believe in aliens and not in God because they have been
fed on evolutionary bias.
Keep up the good work! Your ministry is having effect! I know of a man here who
became a Christian after subscribing to Creation magazine.

Evolutionary religion
For years, evolutionists have claimed to be objective scientists whose scientific
knowledge is not affected by religion, but recently, they have created a religious
symbol of their own. It consists of the Christian ‘fish’ with legs,
and instead of the word ‘Jesus’, it contains the word ‘Darwin’.
I, personally, am sickened by this perversion of the symbol that stands for Christianity,
but am at the same time thankful that evolutionists are finally recognizing the
fact that their ‘science’ is actually religion. The main thing that
characterizes a religion is faith, something very prevalent in evolutionary circles.

Be effective
As a new Christian, many things ‘just didn’t add up’ for me thanks
to an evolutionary education. Through someone who read Creation magazine
and later, Answers in Genesis, all my doubts were ‘answered by Genesis’.
Now, when Christians say they’re not interested in Creation Science, I try
to get them interested. If you know someone who doesn’t understand
or even know about the creation/evolution issue—tell them!
Many reject God and His Gospel—why? Because with ‘all that evidence’
for evolution Christians must be crazy, God not real and the Bible just a collection
of bedtime stories! My point is: I believe a Christian who does not understand the
creation/evolution issue will be largely ineffective in bringing souls to Christ
and may be missing a deep-founded personal faith as well. So spread it around!

Fluid Dogma
The articles on the ‘Red-blooded evidence’
against our evolving from the ocean, and the ‘Fantastic
[Fascinating] cuttlefish’ in the March 1997 issue were of particular
interest to me because I teach, along with my wife, Jennifer, an invertebrate structure
and function course for university students. The text1 we use is an excellent
source of information,but ‘preaches’ evolution.
In one chapter, the means by which a cuttlefish produces a gas–filled cuttlebone
is explained. Amazingly, gas is not pumped into the bone, but fluid is pumped out
using an ingenious ‘osmotic’ or diffusion pump. To believe that such
a device appeared by chance is another wonder of the way evolutionists reason. In
this same chapter, the authors agree there is no evidence to prove Macallum’s
evolutionary theory that life began in the sea. They note ‘there are appreciable
differences between the body fluids and sea water’ and ‘palaeochemical
research has since shown that early oceans did not differ appreciably in composition
from present-day ones’. They deal with this contrary evidence by ignoring
it, which confirms for me that an evolutionist first needs to accept Jesus as Lord
and Saviour before he/she is able to see the fallacies of the evolutionary way of
thinking.

Dino art
Why are evolutionists so afraid of these ‘Messages on stone’ written
about in your latest edition? They have convinced millions of people that something
as complicated as a living, breathing dinosaur can evolve from nothing. Why should
it be so difficult to explain that the simple two–dimensional scaled down
drawing of a dinosaur could have evolved also? If the universe needs no intelligent
designer (God) why should a simple picture require an intelligent designer (man)?
