Pro-Life: Value the Life of Babies in the Womb
When do you believe life begins? The moment a baby is born? Or, like me, do you believe that life begins at conception? I am firmly convinced that our lives begin at conception. Indeed, babies in the womb deserve to be protected and valued. I'll always value life in the womb and the sacredness of life, no matter what laws or culture dictate. My value of life comes from the knowledge of a Creator and that we are all made in His image, not based upon the laws or opinions of men. Babies in the womb are dependent upon the mother for protection. It's time for us to speak for the unborn and their right to live.
Let's agree to value and protect the baby in the womb.
Creationism vs. Evolutionism
The Creationism and Evolutionism debate continues to grow as more and more people question the theory of evolution. I just heard about a new movie called “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” hosted by Ben Stein, an actor, economist, and freelance columnist for the New York Times. The film will be released in February and is described in its online trailer as “a startling revelation that freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry have been expelled from publicly-funded high schools, universities and research institutions.”
The film states that educators who recognize evidence of intelligent design in biological processes have unjustly been denied tenure, lost their jobs, or even suffered other penalties to keep God out of the educational environment, including classrooms and laboratories.
See the clip here.
The following are excerpts taken from the movie blog:
Darwinism, the notion that the history of organisms was the story of the survival of the fittest and most hardy, and that organisms evolve because they are stronger and more dominant than others, is a perfect example of the age from which it came: the age of Imperialism.
Darwinism is still very much alive, utterly dominating biology. Despite the fact that no one has ever been able to prove the creation of a single distinct species by Darwinist means, Darwinism dominates the academy and the media. Darwinism also has not one meaningful word to say on the origins of organic life, a striking lacuna in a theory supposedly explaining life.
Alas, Darwinism has had a far bloodier life span than Imperialism. Darwinism, perhaps mixed with Imperialism, gave us Social Darwinism, a form of racism so vicious that it countenanced the Holocaust against the Jews and mass murder of many other groups in the name of speeding along the evolutionary process.
I find these thoughts quite interesting and ones to ponder. What do you think? Do you believe in creationism or darwinism? What do you think about this film and do you think you will see it?
