February 12th, 1809----today is the birthdate of our former president Abraham Lincoln. Yet it is also the birthdate of Charles Darwin.

The first being a man who did so much good for our country. A man who is known for honesty and integrity.

The second, a man who lost all faith in God and put our wonderous creation in the hands of evolution.

We can see the downward-spiraling effects of a nation filled with people who have been spoonfed this lie and just eat it without question. It is a mournful day indeed when we consider how many have left the Almighty God to side with a man who said "disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete."
.
If you haven't yet seen the documentary 'Expelled'-- today would be an excellent day to spend the buck at Redbox and watch it. Let us be thinkers and not just followers.
.
“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right”

Well said Mr. Lincoln...and Happy Birthday.

The Quintessential Magpie said...: This was a very thought-provoking post. I didn't realize that Lincoln and Darwin shared the same birthday. And I can't believe that people still cling to that ridiculous theory. If there was interspecies evolution, how come we stopped evolving??? ;-)

Amen to this post!

I could say so many things about that ridiculous theory but I won't. Just glad we share the same belief.
