Darwinists vs. Darwinists - Biblical creation belief wins! A French woman is going to help further translate the Question Evolution! Campaign into French

Currently, there are some excellent Biblical creation resources for French speakers which dispels evolutionary pseudoscience:  French biblical creation resources

Is there going to be significantly more French material debunking Darwinism?  It appears so!

On July 15, 2013, our Question Evolution! Campaign  group reported:

One of the areas of Europe which has the most evangelical Christian creationists is Switzerland. See: Swiss creationism

Our Question Evolution! Campaign  group just received this email from a Swiss creationist:

There are now few months ago that a friend of mine in France, who also speaks English, proposed to help me with the translations of the 15 questions for evolutionists. ....she has a lot of time (she doesn't work), I thought to ask her if she would be still agree to help me. I will let you know as soon I will have an answer from her.

The 15 questions for evolutionist have been translated to French already here: 15 questions for evolutionists in French   However, all the links on that page go to articles written in English. So the Swiss lady is endeavoring to get these linked pages translated into French

Good news from France

The Swiss creationist speaks French as a second language. However, her friend in France is a native speaker of French so the translation efforts can proceed at a much faster pace now.

Today, our Question evolution! campaign group received this report from our "Swiss creationist".  It is about her friend in France who is going to help with the French translation project.

Dear XXXX,

Good news, my friend will help me for the translations, but not before August as she is actually away from home and has no computer. Praise God....

Sincerely, 

XXXXX

In addition, if established trends continue in relation to the fertility rates of secular French compared to creationist French and conservative religious immigration,  then French evolutionary belief has a bleak future.  French scholars recently declared that evangelical Christianity is the fastest growing religion in France.
See: Creationism is growing in France and  French scholars say evangelicalism is likely the fastest growing religion in France and  Secular vs. religious birth rates

I hope naive evolutionists don't think French atheists/evolutionist haters who engage in religious bigotry and racial bigotry against evangelical  immigrants will prevail. Thanks to their hatred/indifference relating to motherhood and the resulting low fertility rates, there are going to be mighty few French atheists/evolutionists to stop the onward march of creationism in France.   In April of 2010, Eric Kauffmann declared that "the rate of secularisation has flattened to zero in most of Protestant Europe and France."

Bible believing Christians prevailed once in Europe and we are rising again for a second triumph!  Once again love will triumph over evil. See:  The Triumph of the Gospel of Love

Au revoir,  French evolutionary belief! 

Darwinists vs. Darwinists - Biblical creation belief wins!

A member of our Question evolution! campaign group has scheduled on his calendar learning from Europeans some specialized knowledge which will be very useful in combating atheism/Darwinism.  God willing this will occur in 2014/2015.   Part of the training will involve a trip to Europe. It will enable this member of our team to help spread our message faster and more powerfully.   Imagine that!  Learning specialized skills from secular European evolutionists in order to defeat secular European Darwinists!  Of course, we plan on sharing/recommending some of this information to our fellow Christians.

Christian creationist outreach to reach more young people showing results. Also, French speaking Christian leader very interested in Question Evolution! Campaign

On February 13, 2012, our Question Evolution! Campaign group said that we wanted to break the back of Darwinism through the inoculation of more and more young people against Darwinist pseudoscience.

We have some great news and data to report! 

It appears our strategies are showing results.

Below is some data related to the type of people who visit the website of Creation Ministries International (Creation.com) according to Quantcast which directly measures their web traffic via an embedded code:

Age demographics of people who visit Creation.com as of 4/5/2013 and there has been a significant improvement:




So Creation.com scores an 88 on the Quantcast index out of 100 which is a big improvement since February of 2012. 

It is nice to know that our reach to college age people is very much working.  We believe the earlier we reach people with the 15 questions for evolutionists  the better. One YouTube atheists in his 20s was particularly rattled by these questions.  It was very apparent he was very flustered and frustrated by the 15 questions. It is great the naivety of young atheists who believe in evolutionary pseudoscience is being punctured and actively challenged.

Please tell as many young people you know about Creation.com and below are some great resources:

3.  Age of the earth

French speaking Creationist leader very excited about the Question Evolution! Campaign

We received an email from a leader in French Christian leader and he is extremely excited about the Question Evolution! Campaign.

He said request for French speaking creationist speakers has been growing. 

Our Question Evolution! Campaign group is speaking with him this evening.

A French Canadian's perspective on the Question Evolution! Campaign and the mainstream media

                                                    Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec

My name is Paul Gosselin and I am French Canadian anthropologist, author and creation activist. 

I was contacted by a member of the Question Evolution! Campaign today and I am very excited that a worldwide grassroots anti-evolution campaign has been launched.  The campaign is an excellent introduction to the creation vs. evolution issue.

I have provided contact information to supporters of the campaign to the leading French speaking creationists in both Canada and France.   Due to immigration from religious immigrants, France has been recently blessed by a strong growth of the Christian evangelical faith so the timing is ripe to introduce French speakers to biblical creation material.  I am very encouraged to hear that efforts are being made to translate the Question Evolution! campaign into French. Also, I have been invited to participate in the new forum for volunteers of the campaign and it sounds like a great place for creating and organizing creation evangelism and anti-evolutionary grassroots efforts. 

Because the campaign is embarking on major expansion in terms of its outreach, I thought I would share some thoughts on the mainstream media and how to bypass them and reach people directly.

I've had a few dealings with mainstream media and I've observed that when critical ideological issues are at stake (such as the origins debate), you can count on them to lie (about their motivations and objectives) and to be biased (in whatever they subsequently produce). I wouldn't be surprised if other Evangelicals who have dealt with mainstream media would have a few stories to tell to back this up. Yeah, there are a few exceptions from time to time, but as a rule, I find that the bigger the media institution the journalist (who you are dealing with) works for, the more biased and deceitful they will be.

The following case related by Phil Robinson on the CMI web site is an excellent example of such a situation. I recommend any of you having had (or expecting) to deal with mainstream media to read this even if the issue you are involved in is not origins but abortion, gay marriage, euthanasia, etc...

A road trip with a difference!: Creationism on trial:

A road trip with a difference! Creationism on trial

I like one of Robinson’s concluding remarks. He says: "I would urge other Christians to think very carefully before taking part in any such productions in the future."

Yeah, VERY carefully...

In fact I would go a lot further than what Robinson says. I find that many Evangelicals attempting to reach a wide audience have a 1950's attitude that to do so you HAVE TO go through mass media institutions. That used to be true, but today with the Internet, with blogs, web sites, video production using even a HD-capable smart phone, one can completely by-pass mainstream media (TV or big name newspapers) and reach audiences in the millions. Particularly if you produce anything in English. Some work is involved of course, but it can be done by lots of people.

Bottom line, Evangelicals today DON’T NEED mainstream media to reach an audience.

My view is that at this point in time Evangelicals can easily IGNORE mainstream media and should do so (in most cases). If someone has a view he wants to express, there are all kinds of other ways to get it out now. Years ago your only option was a letter to the editor or perhaps standing on a soap-box, but no more... Of course dealing with mainstream media may seem to guarantee reaching a mass-market, but often the question few ask is can anyone prove this? With a blog or web site it is relatively easy to identify how many unique visitors have hit a web site, but with TV or a newspaper, it isn't so easy.

But another reason for ignoring mainstream media is their bias. But I would go further and state that from an anthropological point of view mainstream Western media must be primarily viewed as an ideological institution. When you see a couple man/woman or two guys dressed like in the 1950s knocking at your door on a Saturday morning, chances are very good you're dealing with Mormons or JWs. And typically if you have any doubts before opening the door, you have none after one minute of conversation.

As I point out in my book Flight From the Absolute, vol. 1 mainstream media is more hypocritical. They pattern their approach on that of Free-Masons who VERY much AVOID at all costs gaining converts by any out-in-the-open approach, such as knocking on doors and handing out tracts on the street to make one-on-one contacts, but MUCH prefer a top down approach, that is infiltrating circles of power and forcing their views on captive audiences down below. This is of course largely how Evolution has gotten promoted in media and in public education.

So I would contend that in most instances mainstream media must be considered an ideologico-religious institution and Evangelicals should expect no more "neutrality" or "balanced treatment" from them than when dealing with Scientology cultists, a Muslim Imam or Moonies.

Once it is understood that despite the fact mainstream media does deliver objective facts (events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes) when no ideological or moral implications are involved, if you look at the Big Picture however, one is forced to see how Modern/Materialist or Postmodern (There Is No Truth) religions put a slant on all the media produces. This is particularly true regarding the work of media Gatekeepers, that is those who decide what is "newsworthy" and what is not and who decide how to slant events (or individuals) which contradict media ideological views.

In a case such as Robinson's if one asks WHY the media treat Evangelicals this way, it is clear that it is to attain the following unstated objectives:

1) attack a consistent Christian worldview, not by rational argument, but by discrediting Christian individuals and portraying them in a negative light (by portraying them as hypocrites, idiots, fanatics or perverts, take you pick...)
2) Avoid a direct attack, which maintains the illusion of the media neutrality.

On such matters, British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge regarded the vaunted "objectivity" of the media as myth. In reality, the media’s "facts" are constructs:

"The ostensibly serious offerings of the media, on the other hand, represent a different menace precisely because they are liable to pass for being objective and authentic, whereas actually they, too, belong to the realm of fantasy. Here, the advent and exploration of visual material with the coming of the camera, has played a crucial role. This applies especially to news and so-called documentaries, both of which are regarded as factual, but which, in practice, are processed along with everything else in the media's fantasy-machine. Thus news becomes, not so much what has happened, as what can be seen as happening, or seems to have happened. As for documentaries, anyone who has worked on them, as I have extensively, knows that the element of simulation in them has always been considerable, and has only increased as making and directing them has become more sophisticated and technically developed. Christopher Ralling, a gifted BBC producer, in an article in the Listener, has expressed his concern about how documentary-makers tend more and more to venture into a no-man's-land between drama and documentary."

The pièce de résistance of questioning évolution

The pièce de résistance of questioning évolution is arriving shortly. The Question Evolution! Campaign and its 15 questions for evolutionists is in the process of being translated into French.

Pierre-Paul Grassé, who served as Chair of Evolution at Sorbonne University for thirty years and was ex-president of the French Academy of Sciences, wrote:

Through use and abuse of hidden postulates, of bold, often ill-founded extrapolations, a pseudoscience has been created. It is taking root in the very heart of biology and is leading astray many biochemists and biologists, who sincerely believe that the accuracy of fundamental concepts has been demonstrated, which is not the case....

Today, our duty is to destroy the myth of evolution, considered as a simple, understood, and explained phenomenon which keeps rapidly unfolding before us. Biologists must be encouraged to think about the weaknesses of the interpretations and extrapolations that theoreticians put forward or lay down as established truths. The deceit is sometimes unconscious, but not always, since some people, owing to their sectarianism, purposely overlook reality and refuse to acknowledge the inadequacies and the falsity of their beliefs. - Pierre-Paul Grassé, Evolution of Living Organisms (1977), pages 6 and 8

Arise French creationists!

Ye sons of France, awake to glory,
Hark, hark! what myriads bid you rise!
Your children, wives and white-haired grandsires.
Behold their tears and hear their cries! (repeat)
Shall hateful tyrants, mischiefs breeding,
With hireling hosts, a ruffian band,
Affright and desolate the land,
While peace and liberty lie bleeding?
