EVOLUTION
AS A METHOD OF THE CREATION
Christianity of the
heathen world constantly decaying during the 11th–20th
centuries, the decay begins to make its way into theology in the 20th
c. This happens because, in comparison to the archaic speech of the Bible, all
gross materialist explanations of science seem to be profound for those who have
lost their trust in G-d and their commitment to Christ. Theologists rush “to
save” religion: when trying to demonstrate that they in turn do not negate
Darwin's hypothesis - “a theory”, so enthusiasticly “proved” by lots of
scientists, many try to restrict G-d with serving evolution ostensibly created
by Himself. Then it appears that, at some stage of the evolution, G-d breathes
soul into advanced primates, and simian turns into human. It is clear that G-d
is free not to intervene at all: who then can prove the immortality of the soul?
(even the adventists deny it!) If the soul is mortal, then the man is a “social
animal” only. Even more: it becomes obscure what is the matter of JHS’
redemption? Where is “the original sin” lying perdu, if all advanced
primates turned into people? Even a “wise” assumption of “a collective sin”
could be heard before years.
Protestant and Catholic theologists fell into timidity. Various hints to
verify the attitude of the Catholic Church toward Darwinism have been repeated
recently. It is true that John Paul II, already sick, spoke for not enough
cleared kind of the theory of evolution in 1996 m. In 2007 his successor
Benedict XVI confirmed our faith in G-d Creator and specified scientific
discoveries showing evolution as a method of the Creation.
Most fruitful theology of such Creationism comes from the theory of Teilhard de
Chardin. It was not fully comprehended at once for fear to be held adherents of
the atheistic Darwinism.
Today we not only have an Anti-Christian “Orwellian” total electronic control. We have it simply because any achievement of science is used by Satan in a destructive way. As for a constructive principle, new technologies really mean uniting of the whole mankind on a new stage of evolution with a collective mind. This mind is called to become common
to all in One Body of JHS. Comprehension of this reasoning leads to Teilhard de Chardin with his Omega-Point achieved after the creation has achieved spirituality and teared itself away from its material basis.
Namely this means the final victory of G-d. Who then will be defeated? Satan?
Satan is a creature, incapable to oppose the Creator. Satan is only a
destructive force which is permitted by G-d to serve a much more worthy opponent. The opponent of G-d is
Nothing, Tehom, Chaos, the Abyss of Nothingness with its main law of the decay
of everything into Nothing, the law of the entropy. In the course of its
becoming from Nothing, the created world itself should finally overcome the
entropy of Chaos. “Narrow corridors of minimal chances” are passed through
due to laws PROGRAMMED by the Creator.
Today one can apparently see bio-programming in chains of the DNA, and one can
imply the existence of a summarizing program overcoming the entropy on the level
of the elementary particles. A senseless evolution from itself, without G-d, is
absurd: nothing of practically limitless structural variations of the highest
mental level, as seen in chains of the DNA, could emerge accidentally - all
should have been destroyed by the entropy already on the first stages of an
advanced complication. This reasoning leads to understanding of Teilhard de
Chardin’s evolution as of a method of creation. Omega-Point is the goal of
this evolution when the spirit in the created lower material substance tears
itself from it and turns into intellect of the mankind in the Body of JHS.
Teilhard de Chardin did not know mysteries of the DNA yet, therefore he did not
distance from the very term of the evolution. Evolution, as a method of
creation, is a stepped creation in reality, when a new step is created in order
to paticipate in creation, but not to continue the creation for itself, or to
create for itself.
His opponents are saying, Teilhard should have been burnt as a heretic in the
Middle Ages.
Burnt or not
does not matter when his theology is not incompatible with the Incarnation and
Atonement , not to say about the Gospel
and practical Salvation. Most
important, his theory is not any Darwinism with no need of the Creator.
De Chardin does not introduce any “other Christianity” but a pure
theological construction only. This
construction is an attempt to present Creation in terms of contemporary science,
not in fairy terms of archaic people. Nor has his theory anything to do with
perfidious “theology” allowing G-d to intervene only on stages when “intermediary
chains” are required according to
Darwin's theory. In fact, Teilhard de
Chardin confines himself to the method of the creation.
Today the decoding of the DNR chains has shown the creation of
non-material formula from nothing. This decoding has finally ruined Darwin's
primitivism of one species evolving from other species.
Chains of the DNA appear to be
not material forms, but
abstract formulas of hierarchical structures. This points to Intellect
operating in the Universe, because only Intellect could create such highly
intricate abstract formulas (only part of which having become materialized but
the others remaining “not-infilled”, ostensibly reserved for still not
realized possibilities of new species).
The DNA decoding shows
that the exhaustive information about all existing and even future species has
been already set up from the beginning when no species existed at all. Chains of
the DNA ARE NOT ANY RESULT OF THE EVOLUTION - otherwise there should not have
been still not materialized formulas. All formulas emerged on a hypothetic stage
when no species still had existed: the “evolution” had
already been recorded, but not realized.
One faces a creative program made by ingenious Intellect. The very fact
of such a program negates Darwinist foolishness about one species emerging from
the other due to accommodation, mutation, and / or selection.
All species have been already foreseen according to the PROGRAM, and they
are listed in the PROGRAM. Therefore the
word “evolution” assumes
some not-Darwinist character: species
do not “evolve” one from another, but
they UNFOLD
in certain order. The stepped
creation appeares to be unfolding of the mental Divine Program
in the material substance. This
“evolution” is therefore dispersal
(unfolding) of the Creation. This
way from one level to a higher is really like an evolution, because new levels
“blossom” from inside the previous levels. One can understand this already
from the Holy Script: “let
waters be full of - jišrecū
- ... living soul” (Gen=Berēšīt
1, 20), “let
earth bring forth - tōcē
- living soul ”
(Berēšīt
1, 24) (science
in turn confirms the sequence of living beings first coming from waters).
In fact, all these biblical archaisms essentially
surpass outwardly similar primitive
Sumerian and Babylonian versions of the creation.
An article “In
the Beginning was Information” by Werner
Gitt can be recommended for
the beginners. One can also listen to his lecture in clear simple English (W.
Gitt being a German): Part 1,
Part 2, or
even otherwise.
A creationist Robert Carter supplements W. Gitt's report
with own polemics
crushing a statement that mutations ostensibly can create information.
Was the fall
of Adam and Eva programmed? Not at all. However G-d had known that they would
fall, therefore the whole following development of the mankind up to the
Omega-Point had been programmed in order people for themselves could cooperate
in Christ.
Post-Reformation “first
Christians” always demand to prove any statement on Bible. Of course, de
Chardin's “evolution” cannot be proved on Bible if we take the story of
Creation literally (the Moon should be smaller than the Sun, both being larger
than stars, because all of them are put on the same firm surface of the vault of
Heaven, the Firmament, Rāqīa‘,
Berēšīt
1, 16, Job=Iyyov 37, 18, which, from the time when the upper waters had been
separated from the lower waters, Berēšīt
1, 7, was provided with windows
- ’arubbōt
for water to rain down, Berēšīt
7, 11). When
not G-d’s words, dictated from the 1st Person, the Revelation was put down by
contemporary people who reinterpreted the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in
terms of their epoch. The sense of the Revelation is moral, beginning from human dependence on
Creator of the Universe and finishing with Torah laws and Sermon on the
Mount. Revelation is not any handbook of physics and astronomy, as Sunni Muslims
are obliged to comprehend their Quran.
Literal comprehension
of the Bible belongs to the childhood of the mankind. Today G-d and Spirit
challenge mankind to perform tasks by force of the Sacrificial Blood of JHS.
This is proved by the inner sense of the WHOLE Bible, not by separate ad hoc
citations. We should not echo interpreters of the Scriptures
("scribes") of Caiapha's epoch who “strained out a gnat but
swallowed a camel”. Traditional apostolic Christians and traditional Jews were
not fool when speaking about the consensus patrum, a matter profaned by
voluntaryism of Post-Reformation neo-protestants of the 19th
c. However the final evidentiary ground for all followers of JHS the Messiah
lies only and exceptionally in the moral connection of any exegesis to the Sense
of His Golgotha Sacrifice. A messianic believer does not need any wearisom
white-shirted American missionary in the street, wise with citations and an
idiot propagandizing mode of life of his Anti-Christian sodomo-democratic state.
Amen.
