DARWIN’S COLD SHUDDER

DONALD R. FOX

25 November 2006

Note the first sentence in an article entitled, “A Fin Is A Limb Is A Wing”by Carl Zimmer, National Geographic, November 2006 as follows: “The father of evolution was a nervous parent. Few things worried Charles Darwin more than the challenge of explaining how nature’s most complex structures, such as the eye, came to be. “The eye to this day gives me a cold shudder,” he wrote to a friend in 1860.”We understand that the National Geographic is one of the most influencing magazines that publicized the false doctrine and counterfeit science of evolution.

To be sure, I believe Charles Darwin shuddered very often. Of a truth the Psalmist could write by inspiration of God, “I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well" (Psalms 193:14).

In Stephen Charnock’s classic “The Existence and Attributes of God," page 64-65, Volume 1, Charnock beautifully outlines the magnificent complex interrelated, interconnecting workings of our body. He catalogs the “marvelous…. works” of the heart, the mouth, the brain, the ear, the eye, etc. all working it harmony and truly “wonderfully made." In deed the complexity of the human body and the host of living creatures, all sorts of vegetation, are all unexplainable if you leave God out of the acquisition as our Creator. Only God has the answer and poor Charles Darwin; the “father of evolution” must answer to His Creator,“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12).

With the remarkable eye let us also consider the ear, Charnock wrote, “The ear, framed with windings and turnings, to keep any thing from entering to offend the brain; so disposed as to admit sounds with the greatest safety and delight; filled with an air within, by the motion whereof the sound is transmitted to the brain: as sounds are made in the air by diffusing themselves, as you see circles made in the water by the flinging in a stone. This is the gate of knowledge, whereby we hear the oracles of God, and the instruction of men of arts. It is by this they exposed to the mind, and the mind of another man framed in our understanding.” Yes, Mr. Darwin, shudder at the “wonderfully made” creation from our God Almighty.
