Author urges Christians to call those who believe evolution... "Slime-Snake-Monkey-People."
He also says to call us "mutants" since we believe we evolved over many millions of years.

To shock the Darwinists out of their denial of the overwhelming evidence in Greek art for the reality of Genesis events, the author urges Creationists to refer to evolutionists as what they imagine they are—"Slime-Snake-Monkey-People." Mr. Johnson, who holds a general science degree from West Point, also suggests that since Slime-Snake-Monkey-People insist they evolved over millions of years through a countless series of random mutations, Christians should also refer to them as "mutants."


He holds a science degree from West Point?

Use Ridicule to shame evolutionists into accepting the events in Genesis

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, August 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- Solving Light Books announced today the release of Robert Bowie Johnson Jr.'s new book, "Noah in Ancient Greek Art," featuring 27 ancient images of the Greek version of Noah. The book details Noah's role in Greek art as a known historical figure in relation to whom the artists were able to depict, and boast of, the rapid growth of their contrary spiritual outlook, exalting man, instead of God, as the measure of all things.

....""In Greek art, we find detailed, consistent portrayals of the early Genesis themes including: the ancient garden, the serpent-entwined apple tree, the first family, Cain killing Abel, the Flood, and the successful rebellion against Noah after the Flood. Greek artists made the gods look just like people because that's who they were—our ancestors. Socrates himself referred to the gods as such," Mr. Johnson said.

The author devotes the final section of his new book to explaining why mainstream scientists, academics, and journalists remain oblivious to the true significance of Greek art. "Their ruling paradigm is Darwinism, a closed-minded, anti-Creator mindset which compels them to ignore or deny any evidence which tends to validate the Book of Genesis. Viewing Greek art as what it truly represents—human history—painfully contradicts their pompous evolutionist speculation. That's why they must blindly insist that ancient Greek vase-painters and sculptors spent their entire lives portraying nothing more than myths," Mr. Johnson stated.


I look back and remember something that happened to me in high school. Years ago, and I was so used to the fundamentalist culture here that I did not understand it.

My biology teacher heard me say to someone that I was going to see a movie about the Scopes Monkey trial. I think it was called Inherit the Wind. I really did not know much about the subject matter. Stuff like that was never mentioned in the Southern Baptist world in which I grew up. My parents were open-minded and liberal, so I was never kept away from movies like this or seeing Elvis when he came to town...though the church criticized my Dad for it since he was a deacon.

Long story short the teacher wanted a conference with my parents about something she heard me say. When my parents and I got to the meeting she started in on evolution and what Genesis said. It really hit the fan. My parents told her to mind her own business, and they promptly had me taken out of her class. They were good people, what I call real Christians who lived what the Bible taught about love.

Hadn't thought of that in a long time, but this mutant stuff reminded me I grew up around such closed minds. They are not getting much better in the climate engendered by Bush's administration.

6. Yes, God must either laugh or cry....or perhaps both.
I guess it has been that way here for ages, but I thought it was getting better.

I remember something else very weird. One night at a dinner my father brought out a wine for the meal. Since there were other deacons present, I was shocked. We had always been told not to drink anything.
But here were all these deacons and my dad having wine.

I think I said something pious, and he told me to watch my tongue....he said Jesus drank wine and so could he.

23. Yes, they are.
There has been this idea on their side for a while that humiliating tactics are a good thing. Very Christlike.

12. Hey dude; The facts are the facts. Evolution is a FACT. Fucking Deal with it.
"Shame"? There's no shame in understanding the truth. It's shameful to be a ridiculously deluded doofus who thinks the earth is 6,000 years old and "Greek Art" proves your cartoon, sunday school interpretation of reality- that's what's shameful.

It's shameful to be a flat Earth pinhead when everyone KNOWS it's round.

Here's a novel concept, Mr. Johnson- maybe the people who wrote your bible STOLE those mythological themes, images and ideas from the Greeks!

:think:

These people are out of their fucking minds.

14. Wait 'til you get a load
of how he maps Greek mythos and archeology onto Bible accounts to "prove" Judeo-Christian accounts.
We are told in Chapter 2 of Genesis that Eve was created full-grown out of Adam. Before she was known as Hera, the wife of Zeus had the name Dione. The name relates to the creation of Eve out of Adam, for Dione is the feminine form of Dios or Zeus. This suggests that the two, like Adam and Eve, were once a single entity.

http://www.theparthenoncode.com/features/athenaandeve01.htm
Her name "suggests" not that she was a goddess, but that she was born of Zeus (or maybe Zeus was born from Hera, but that doesn't occur to Mr Johnson). Got that? Good, because that's all the proof you're going to get. From here on, the matter of Hera/Eve's birth is treated as settled. The rest of his nickel and dime scholarship is the same, stacking tenuous suppositions until he gets a rickety ediface that allows him to finally crow, "how can it be another way, glory to God!"

19. Except it doesn't
Not this guy's "proof." If he turned that piercing intellect to biology, he'd solve our energy shortages by crossing a yew with a geranium, making yew-ranium.

13. Sounds like a truly excellent idea. Really
We'll be "slime-snake-monkey-people", and they'll be "slime-snake-monkey".


I'll call myself what I am if they call themselves what they are.

20. It is pretty lame
Once you've stood in the flame of a DI's verbal abuse this stuff is as nothing.
Besides, it's a poorly constructed insult.

28. Unbelievable picture they use as a billboard. Shocking.
This mindset is so scary. This is for real. Links below the picture.



Are they making a monkey out of you?

Man to Monkey Billboards used to challenge evolution.
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200705/CUL20070517a.html

"Billboards that show a man turning into a monkey and an online game entitled "Let's See How Evolution Works" are two elements of a new national campaign launched by a Christian group to call attention to the "lack of proof" for the theory of evolution.

Billboards at six locations in Oregon and Georgia ask "Are They Making a Monkey Out of You?" and additional signs are planned for Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, according to Julie Haberle, founder of the Who Is Your Creator non-profit organization.

The billboards direct viewers to the group's website, which presents a step-by-step summary of evolution and arguments against the theory.

Haberle told Cybercast News Service that the billboards were designed to be "a parody of evolution" since many scientists "now say that the process is not just going forward, it's also going backward."

It's working, read this.
