Here is a quote from Charles Darwin in his autobiography: “I can indeed hardly see how anyone
ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain language of the text seems to show that
the men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, Brother and almost all of my
friends, will be everlastingly punished. And this is a damnable doctrine.”

The Bible says, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36). When a person believes, his name is written in the Book of

Life. Rev. 20:15And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. A second
after Darwin breathed his last breath on earth, he came to realize how wrong he was. His soul entered into
judgment. But his damnable doctrines live on, used by Satan, to mold the thinking of this and future
generations. I hope you are not duped by his false ideas nor try to incorporate them into your theology. God
created the universe just as he said in Genesis 1-2. There was a world-wide flood that altered the nature of all
geology. Darwin’s theory requires millions of years of death, for only the fittest survive. Genesis says that
God created, and everything was perfect! There was no death or disease. Adam sinned and brought death
into the world. The two ideologies cannot fit together.
