Using their massive database of 500 billion words from Google books, Google Engram has determined that usage of the word "creationism" percentage wise in books has gone up about 800% from 1977 to 2008 by book authors as can be seen here: Google Engram - creationism Also, usage of the word "Jesus" by book authors percentage wise has gone up over 200% since 1970: Google Engram - Jesus
Also, usage of the word "Darwinism" percentage wise in books has gone significantly down since 1980: Google Engram - Darwinism In addition, since 2000, usage of the word "evolution" has gone significantly down since 2000: Google Engram - evolution
On the other hand, the secular West and East Asia has very low fertility and a rapidly aging population. The demographic disparity between the religious, growing global South and the aging, secular global North will peak around 2050. In the coming decades, the developed world's demand for workers to pay its pensions and work in its service sector will soar alongside the booming supply of young people in the third world. Ergo, we can expect significant immigration to the secular West which will import religious revival on the back of ethnic change. In addition, those with religious beliefs tend to have higher birth rates than the secular population, with fundamentalists having far larger families. The epicentre of these trends will be in immigration gateway cities like New York (a third white), Amsterdam (half Dutch), Los Angeles (28% white), and London, 45% white British.
Global trends are inevitably going to impact the Western World
Professor Eric Kaufmann, who is an agnostic, told
a secular audience in Australia: "The trends that are happening
worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."
As early as 2020/2021, Western countries will see a significant
reversal of secularism/atheism/agnosticism and that trend will
accelerate.
On November 19, we published an article entitled Is the evolutionist Richard Dawkins a skunk that people want to quickly pass by? in which we showed that Richard Dawkins has a relatively low percentage of loyal visitors to his website according to Quantcast plus his website traffic has a trend of plunging according to Quantcast.
Three questions:
1. Is the stench of the ideology of Richard Dawkins making evolutionism even less popular and is there any data supporting this?
2. Is the sweet smell of the gospel of Jesus Christ permeating the world more and more?
3. Can all the perfumes of Arabia make evolutionary belief stop reeking of deception and foolishness?
The plunging reputation of Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins with the aid of the liberal press and a provocative title was able to sell a lot of copies of his book The God Delusion. The God Delusion was published in 2006. Dawkins is also a leading spokesman for evolutionary thought.
However, the book The God Delusion has not worn well over time and a number of fundamental glaring errors in the book have been pointed out. In short, the book has proved to be an embarrassment to Dawkins among intellectuals.
To further compound Dawkins's problems he has embarrassed himself via problems like the Elevatorgate scandal. Also, the Dawkins vs. Rabbi Boteach debate and the events surrounding it were a total disgrace to Dawkins. See: Richard Dawkins and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach debate
In addition, Richard Dawkins's recent works and the New Atheism movement is form of militant atheism/agnosticism which turned off a lot of people with its bile and vitriol.
Also, Richard Dawkins has repeatedly indicated that evolutionism is naturalistic/atheistic which is an accurate statement. This is not surprising since Charles Darwin was an atheist/agnostic. However, atheism is unpopular in a lot of the public's mind so that cannot help with the promotion of evolutionism.
Did the book The God Delusion help or hurt atheism, agnosticism and evolutionismover the long term?
Consider:
1. The atheist philosopher Dr. Michael Ruse declared concerning Dawkins' book The God Delusion: "The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist".
2. The theist Vox Day pointed out a number of glaring errors in his book The Irrational Atheist in chapter VIII of the book entitled Darwin's Judas. A free PDF copy of the book is available at: Free PDF of The Irrational Atheist
3. On November 5, 2012 the Reverend David Robertson, of the Free Church of Scotland declared:
“I recently did a show with Marcus Brigstocke, the comedian, in which he declared – ‘Before I read The God Delusion I was an atheist, after I read it I was an agnostic – I don’t want to read it again in case I turn into a Christian’!
“I actually know of people who have been converted through reading The God Delusion and interacting with the discussion.
Interest in the evolutionary position over time according to Google trends When looking at these Google trend graphs, remember that the bookThe God Delusion came out in 2006.
Google trends graph for the Google search "evolution":
Google trends graph for the Google search "theory of evolution":
Google trends graph for the Google search "Richard Dawkins":
Keep in mind, that people are more likely to do a search for "evolution" than the longer search "theory of evolution" due to convenience so the data is more reliable for the larger search volume. Admittedly though, there are products associated with the name "evolution" too.
Given the graphs above, it is hard to argue that Dawkins has recently significantly helped the promotion of evolutionism.
Jesus wins!
How is the search Jesus doing at Google trends since the God Delusion has been published which was published in 2006?

Global atheism and evolutionism vs. Jesus and biblical creation: Jesus and biblical creation wins!
Our Question Evolution! Campaign group has showed again and again and again how major atheism and evolutionism are dropping visitors like flies. It is like a series of biblical plagues which rain down on atheism and evolutionism along with its websites. The hail, fire and locust of bad news is going to continue to rain down on evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism again and again and again until evolutionism is no more. The sad and pathetic state of evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism can be clearly seen via these articles: Global decline of atheism/agnosticism and the rise of Christianity and Decline of internet atheism and evolutionism
Elisha's bears mauled wicked young men and now Google Panda is mauling evolutionist and atheist websites. And Google Penguin is putting a deep freeze on their website traffic. Evolutionists and atheists, Google knows when you are creating useless and uninformative content! Why do you persist? It is hard to kick against Google's goads. If you post about some bogus pseudoscience that supposedly now confirms macroevolution occurred (until it is debunked of course) and then nobody read it about it, why do you persist?
As you can see below, the widespread distribution phase of the Question Evolution! Campaign and its 15 questions for evolutionists is beginning to descend on evolutionism like plagues of locusts. The Question Evolution! Campaign combined with internet evangelism is going to increase creation evangelism in the world by at least 400%. Evolutionism is going to be mauled so bad that even Richard Dawkins won't recognize it,
More proof and evidence that evolutionism can't compete according to Compete.com!
Web traffic of Creation Ministries International, Creation.com, according to Compete.com
Web traffic Richarddawkins.net according to Compete.com
As you can see, according to Compete.com, evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism can't compete! And we all know why, don't we? Because all evolutionists, including Richard Dawkins, cannot satisfactorily answer the 15 questions for evolutionists.
1. Are militant evolutionists and/or atheists lacking in emotional control and lacking a well thought out game plan?
2. Given what we know about history, is the Question Evolution! Campaign a realistic game plan and aid in helping to collapse Darwinism in the world?
3. Who is more reasonable and fact driven: evolutionists or Bible believers?
History and the game plan of the Question Evolution! Campaign
One of my favorite historians was the French historian Fernand Braudel.
I like Braudel because he takes into account broad trends such as socioeconomic trends and incremental technological change and its effects. He also took into account the daily effects of the activities of the people at the lower end of the economic scale which is at odds with the "great men" portrayal of history so often taught in primary education and high schools. Also, Braudel looks at history from interdisciplinary approach. In short, a big reason I like Braudel is that he looks at history holistically instead of myopically.
Braudel also taught that changes to societies often occur due to incremental changes and via the use of technology. If you examine our article Our group's plan, strategy and tactics for advancing the Question Evolution! Campaign which gives resources outlining our group's plan for accelerating the collapse of Darwinism, you will see that the material contained does not read like the plan of revolutionaries (Braudel rightly declared in his work Capital and the material life that revolutions rarely achieve their goals).
Instead our plan is strategic and systematic plan to grind down evolutionism, atheism, agnosticism and liberal theological thought using a variety of methods while increasing belief in biblical creation and the Bible. Of course, the primary emphasis of the Question Evolution! Campaign and its 15 questions for evolutionists is on attacking evolutionary pseudoscience.
My admiration of Fernand Braudel's work is one of the reasons why I like the work of Professor Eric Kaufmann who wrote the bookShall the Righteous Inherit the Earth and the academic paper Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century Kaufmann writes about the global decline of atheism/agnosticism and the global ascendancy of religious populations due to factors such as the fertility rates of the religious people vs. secular people, immigration and societal adherence to various secular and liberal ideologies. Also, Kaufman writes about how this will affect the West. Even though Kaufmann is an agnostic, he is more objective, comprehensive and systematic in his analysis of the history of atheism/agnosticism in the world and in the West than an evolutionist and atheist/agnostic ideologues like Richard Dawkins who appears to have a poor grasp of history.
Hysterical evolutionists and atheists lacking a game plan
A reasonable approach to counter one's opposition is far superior to the hysterics and/or revolutionary talk of the New Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and the American Atheists. While their approach may garner some newspaper headlines and sell some books for a spell, it is not a good approach for a sustained plan which achieves significant results in changing people's minds. Militant atheism did not work for Russian atheists over the long haul and its not going to work now.
A 2011 article by by Stephen Prothero entitled American faith: A work in progress points out that based on Pew Forum survey the New Atheism of miltant secuaralists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris had no discernible effect in terms of increasing atheism.
Another example of ineffectual and hysterical atheism:
The news website The Blaze published an article on September 15, 2011 entitled American Atheist Leader Calls for the ‘Eradication’ of ‘Fundamentalist Christians’ which links to a inaccessible blog post of Al Stefanelli, American Atheists’ Georgia State Director (I suspect the blog post is an embarrassment to their organization so they made it inaccessible to the general public).
Dinesh D'Souza and Vox Day point out that Dawkins engaged in historical revisionism in terms of the mass murder and architectural destruction of atheist communists (church destruction). Dawkins was caught red handed lying about his debate with Rabbi Boteach, but perhaps Dawkins did not engage in historical revisionism about atheist mass murder and architectural destruction, but he is merely abysmally ignorant of history. Of course, it could be a case of both! Dawkins could be a historical revisionist who is abysmally ignorant of history.
Richard Dawkins debate with the mathematician and philosopher of science John Lennox revealed a Dawkins who had an antipathy towards investigating the historical evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I really don't think Dawkins has an appreciation for the importance of history. I find this often in atheists/agnostics who are science fetishists which is ironic since origins science is a historical science. Science and technology are important things in society but they are not the only things and science fetishism descends into the self-refuting religion of scientism. Crank statements of evolutionists revealing dogmatism and a lack of historical investigation sophistication I think evolutionists lack of respect for history and for historical evidence leads to foolish statements such as these:
1. "Evolution has been observed. It’s just that it hasn’t been observed while it’s happening." - Richard Dawkins
2. "Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic." - Scott Todd, an immunologist at Kansas State University.
3. Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist (and self-proclaimed Marxist), is certainly one of the world’s leaders in evolutionary biology.
Lewontin declared:
‘We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.
The eminent Kant scholar Lewis Beck used to say that anyone who could believe in God could believe in anything. To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to allow that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured, that Miracles may happen.
Contrast the dogmatic evolutionists with the sweet reasonableness of the evangelical Old Testament scholar Kenneth Kitchen who declared: "Facts must control theory, not vice versa."
As far as evolutonists/atheists/agnostics lacking leadership and a game plan for reversing the global decline of atheism/agnosticism in its adherents and the rise of biblical Christianity and/or creationism, which includes places such as America and Europe, I suggest reading our resources below.
Why do atheists and evolutionists have no game plan to reverse their global decline? Because atheism and evolutionism are forms of intellectual madness!
"The heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart." - King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 9:3 "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged,
yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before Him: but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God." - King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 8:11-13. Poor leadership within the atheism/evolutionist communities
Baylor University did a study showing that irreligious people and theologically liberal people were significantly more superstitious than evangelical Christians. Another study also confirmed this matter. You can read about this matter in the Wall Street Journal article: Look Who's irrational now
In addition, atheists, agnostics and theologically liberal individuals are significantly more likely to believe in evolution.
Since I am a Bible believing young earth creationists, it should came as no surprise to people that I personally don't have a superstitious bone in my body. I could break mirrors and walk under ladders all day long and not break a sweat.
Yet, no matter how hard I try to convince atheists, agnostics and Darwinists not to be superstitious, I know it is going to happen many times anyways.
With the superstitiousness of Darwinists in mind, below are 13+ very "unlucky omens" that Darwinism is doomed and all the rabbit's foots, four-leaf clovers and horseshoes in the world are not going to change this fact.
13+ recent grim events relevant to Darwinism
1. The best evidence points to global atheism and agnosticism shrinking in the world while global Christianity and creationism is seeing significant growth. Theologically liberal churches are shrinking while many theologically conservative churches are growing
2. Creationism has recently grown in the United States according to a Gallup Inc. survey. Recently, evolution unfriendly laws have been passed in the United States. Theologically conservative Bible clubs are proliferating across the United States at a rapid rate and creationists will certainly make alliances with them. This could spread around the world.
3. Theologically conservative Christianity and creationism is growing quickly in various Western nations, in Latin America, in Asia and in Africa.
4, The shrinking of global atheism/agnosticism will affect Western agnosticism/atheism in an age of globalization (immigration, global communication and travel, etc.)
5. The decline of global atheism/agnosticism is expected to accelerate.
6. Evangelical Christians are making rapid advances in internet evangelism (Global Media Outreach in 2011 did 149 million gospel presentation via the internet). Prominent atheist websites have seen big drops in traffic in the last 5 years.
7. Christian creation evangelists are communicating with their internet evangelism brethren with a goal of dramatically increasing creation evangelism on the internet and through offline methods. In addition, a plan has been developed to help accelerate the global decline of atheism/agnosticism and the continued rapid growth of global Christianity and creationism. Atheists and agnostics have no plan to reverse their global decline in adherents.
8. Georgetown University study indicating that merely 30% of individuals raised by atheists remain atheists
9. In the general population, a recent study suggests that most people believe in evolution based on a "gut feeling". On the other hand, Christianity has an abundant amount of excellent evidence supporting it. See: Evidence for Christianity
10. After experiencing Darwinist harassment in the recent past, creationists who are growing in power (due to higher fertility rates, immigration and evangelism) will pull the plug on evolutionism being promoted in public schools. In addition, in an era of many governments being strapped for cash, more and more primary, secondary and higher education schools will be privatized and many of these schools will be run by religious organizations. In addition, given that private schools are on average less costly to run, there will be more vouchers and charter schools which will increase religious schooling hostile to Darwinism. Also, many schools will have less funds to launch frivolous lawsuits against creationist students.
11. China which has the largest population of atheists is seeing an explosive growth of Christianity in the both the countryside and in urban centers
12. European creationism is growing and secular Europe is having significant economic problems and could turn to God for answers
