DARWIN’S WALKING FISH

Since
the
early
church,
the
simple
graphic
diagram
of a
fish has
always
been a
symbol
that
represents
Christianity.
It is
also
well
known
that
some
followers
of Jesus
Christ
make a
public
expression
of their
faith by
mounting
a fish
symbol
on their
property
in order
for the
world to
see. The most common place where people place the Christian fish symbol is on the bumper of a car. When a person walks by the car or approaches from behind they can immediately recognize the car likely belongs to someone who believes in the Lordship of Jesus Christ and has accepted Him as their personal Savior.
Recently I have noticed that the typical Christian fish symbol has taken on a new appearance. Although the general shape of the fish remains the same, the fish now has a set of legs attached to the main body. As well, the name of Darwin has been set inside instead of Jesus Christ.
Anyone
who
recognizes
the
importance
of
creation
to
Christianity
understands
the
significance
of
the
Darwinian
fish
very
clearly.
Without
creation,
followed
by
the
fall
of
man,
there
would
be
no
need
for
a
Redeemer,
Jesus
Christ.
Creation
is
the
very
basis
of
Christianity.
Darwinian
evolution
is
merely
a
naturalistic
mechanistic
process
that
explains
God
away.
If
there
is a
way
to
explain
away
God,
then
man
is
not
accountable
and
humans
are
free
to
make
their
own
rules.
The walking Darwinian fish is a slam against Bible believing Christianity. The creation skeptics who designed it knew exactly what they were doing. They know that if creation can be shown to be credible and evolution a hoax, people will recognize they have been created and their whole outlook on life will change. There are people who are willing to testify to this fact, including myself. Once brainwashed into believing that Darwinian evolution was true, I rejected the Bible as nothing but legend and mythology. When I came to the realization that evolution was a theory without the substantiating facts, I was suddenly awakened to the fact that I had been part of the great delusion designed to cause people to doubt the reality of the existence of God. The Bible states that Jesus Christ is our Creator [1]. He created us; and He redeemed us if we will place our trust in Him. Because my life has been transformed by His love and grace, I am troubled when I see His name being ridiculed. The next time you see the Darwinian fish with legs on the bumper of a car, remember what it means. It’s not just a subtle attack against Christianity – it is blasphemy. I am Roger Oakland. This has been a biblical perspective to help understand the times. [1] Colossions 1: 16-18
