everyday truth which can knock out
the giant Darwinism? And what is its
sword, with which it may be finally
decapitated?
Well, I think that one such
truth, known to all, could be the
simple fact that everything is built
up of atoms, and that atoms are
incredibly small. This was the sling-
stone that hit Darwinism, in my
own mind, and laid it flat. Because
there was this conflict going on in
my mind, between things religious,
which in its essence is spiritual or
otherworldly, and the Darwinistic,
scientific approach to reality, which
in its essence is natural, or worldly.
To me, still being here in the natural
world, with my otherworldly religion,
Darwinism looked like a giant. He was an everyday and everywhere presence.
Wherever I turned I bumped into him. Because he belonged to my world!
In Zen Buddhism there comes a time in a man’s life called the awakening,
the Sato. My awakening, the first of many after that, came when Trym, my eldest
grandson came to me in search of assistance with his homework in physics. He
was then about 12. My awakening was the result of the following reading in his
physics book: “Atoms are incredibly small; if the core of a helium atom was the
size of a dime, its electron would rotate around this core at a distance of 400
meters. If the core is compared to the size of the sun, the electron would orbit
at a distance that equalizes the distance between the sun and the planet Pluto.”
This moment of Sato, this sudden glimpse of insight, was the sling-stone
that laid the giant Darwinism flat in my mind. For think of the consequences
of this insight. NASA’s space-probe, for instance, New Horizon, was launched
from earth January 19, 2006. It travels with a speed of 50,000 kilometers per
hour, until it passed by Pluto on July 14, 2015. That is 9.5 years at a speed of
50,000 kmh!
And still it is a scientific fact that it is comparatively the same distance
between the sun and planet Pluto as there is between the core of a helium atom
and its electron. So yes, atoms are incredibly small; and still the distance from
its core to its circumference is so immense!
What does this really mean? Well, according to Wikipedia again: A virus
contains around 100 million atoms, and a bacteria around a 100 billion!
So how can we, small
and insignificant as
we apparently are,
even among our own
brothers in Christianity,
how can we make any
difference and lead a
counterattack against
this terrible, godless,
doctrine of Darwinism?
