Essay: The meat grinder of atheism and evolutionism

From Conservapedia

There are a lot of biblical creation organizations which do fine work. Yet, Creation Ministries International (CMI) is my favorite biblical creation defending organization. The popular Christian YouTube video creator Shockofgod and Christian apologist Mariano Grinbank, who actively oppose atheism on the internet, are big fans of Creation Ministries International as well.

10 important points relating to CMI hammering away at atheism and evolutionary belief

1. In order for Christian theism and biblical creation to effectively prevail it must not only defend its beliefs but it must aggressively go on the attack in terms of combating and refuting atheism and evolutionary belief. In terms of attacking evolutionary belief and atheistic belief, creation evangelism and anti-evolution evangelism are key components for a biblical creation organizations to have and CMI has the Question evolution! campaign.

"One defends when his strength is inadequate, he attacks when it is abundant." - Sun Tzu

Creation Ministries International takes a two prong approach as far as attacking atheist ideology. CMI's website not only has articles/campaigns/videos defending biblical creation and attacking evolutionary ideology, but it has a comprehensive article refuting atheism plus a collection of other articles refuting atheism as can be seen below:

Creation Ministries International articles on atheism:

• Atheism - comprehensive article

• Atheism, godless religions, humananism - large collection of articles

2. Evolutionary belief is the air supply of atheism (see: Cutting off the air supply of atheism). In terms of attacking evolutionary belief, there has never been a worldwide grassroots campaign by a creationist organization which can be implemented easily on the local level and on the internet. The Question evolution! campaign is such a campaign.

Evolution is clearly pseudoscience that cannot be rationally be defended. For example, Creation Ministries International challenged the members of the 2010 Global Atheist Conference to a debate and they cowardly refused.^[1] In addition, creation scientist generally win the creation vs. evolution debates (see: Creation scientists tend to win the creation vs. evolution debates and Atheism and cowardice).

3. The Question evolution! campaign, which will be a game changer, has started the process of gaining zealous advocates (see: Enthusiastic responses to the Question evolution! campaign). Grassroots movements are increasingly making a difference in various societies.

4. In terms of its audience, Creation Ministries International is experiencing significant growth particularly after the release of its Question evolution! campaign.

Below is the web traffic tracking data from Quantcast, Compete and Alexa concerning Creation Ministries International's website:

5. Creation Ministries International appears to have the largest or at least one of the largest staff of P.h.D. scientists among biblical creation organizations as can be seen HERE

The Question evolution! campaign by Creation Ministries International is a worldwide campaign which poses 15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer.^[2] The 15 questions posed to evolutionists can be found HERE

6. The website of Creation Ministries International, which is Creation.com, has a huge collection of articles defending biblical creation, the Bible and Christianity. According to its website description, it has over 7,000 articles defending biblical creation.^[3]

Plus, CMI has a peer reviewed journal on its website called the Journal of Creation which defends biblical creation, the Bible and Christianity. The complete articles of the Journal of Creation is made available to the public and can be found HERE.

7. As noted above, grassroots movements are increasingly making a difference in various societies. This is particularly true when the opposition has a weak and/or false ideologies.

The weak ideologies of atheism and evolution face a number of challenges in terms of the future environment. There are at least 10 major weaknesses as far as atheism and evolutionary belief growing in the world and in the United States and Creation Ministries with its grassroots Question evolution! campaign is poised to capitalize on all 10 of these weaknesses (see also: Decline of atheism).^[4]

8. In addition, global Christianity is rapidly growing in terms of its adherents.

Christianity is the world's largest religion and it has seen tremendous growth over its 2000 year history.^[6] Christianity has recently seen explosive growth outside the Western World.^[7] In 2000, there were twice as many non-Western Christians as Western Christians.^[8] In 2005, there were four times as many non-Western Christians as there were Western World Christians.^[9] There are now more non-Western missionaries than Western missionaries.^[10]

In 2011, the American Spectator declared concerning research published in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research:

Implications of the explosive growth of global Christianity on belief if biblical creation:

It is thought that given the increase in the availability of public's access to global communications that the more theologically conservative non-Western Christianity could influence Western Christianity to move into more theologically conservative direction.^[12] For example, non-Western Anglicans are exerting influence in the worldwide Anglican communion as far as the Anglican Communion's policy concerning homosexuality.^[13][14]

Of course, this will aid biblical creation organizations. More importantly, there is no reason why Creation Ministries International can certainly have the Question evolution! campaign be translated into other languages such as Spanish, French, German, Russian, etc..

9. Organizations which are successful have tools and continue to develop tools which enable their followers to disseminate their ideas. In addition, their followers develop these tools. This is especially true in a post internet age. In other words, they embrace grassroots approaches and are not merely top down organizations.

Not only does Creation Ministries use traditional methods such as tracts, but Creation Ministries International and its followers are developing internet tools as well (Question evolution! campaign tracts, dowloadable tracts plus tools which are given below). See also: Question evolution! group posting about tools to multiply the campaign

The classic book The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations discusses the power of organizations which utilize smaller units that are capable of operating, growing and multiplying independently of each other.^[15]

10. Although older people do change their minds and older people are often develop wisdom, there is some truth to the fact that it is harder to "teach old dogs" new tricks. Thomas Kuhn (July 18, 1922 – June 17, 1996) was an American historian and philosopher of science. The term paradigm shift was introduced by Thomas Kuhn in his 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. If memory serves, Kuhn said that as far as false paradigms within the scientific community, sometimes it is necessary for the older scientist to retire/pass away. Of course, given the greater ease of communication today, false paradigms are more vulnerable than they were in Kuhn's generation.

The Question evolution campaign definitely has a focus on reaching young people plus according to their website CMI is in the midst of creating more content specifically geared to kids.
