Equivocation and Evolution

Equivocation
E*quiv`o*ca"tion, n. The use of expressions susceptible of a double signification, with a purpose to mislead.

Equivocation is one of the great tools of evolutionists and liberal thinkers everywhere. An example is the game that evolutionists play with the term, evolution, itself. They use the logical error of equivocation between the two meanings of the term, evolution, to try to sell evolutionism to the masses. In this way, they are able to fool some people. Evolution, however, isn't science.

Evolution, meaning the minor adaptations that occur within a certain kind of animal or plant? This is a scientific reality with which no one argues.

Evolution, meaning the development of all life and matter by purely random means? That's a totally different matter. This definition of evolution is nonsense. In fact, evolution of this second definition is impossible to believe since scientific knowledge has increased. It would violate proven laws of science, including the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Those who struggle against God are kept captive by simple-minded assumptions that act as filters to filter out reality. These filters are a way to censor out any information that supports even the existence of God, but everyone who follows Christ hears His Voice.  Those who struggle against God set up a web of rules to filter out God.  They will only accept those things that conform to Naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism.  Naturalism claims that God does nothing.  Materialism claims that there is no God or spiritual realm.  Uniformitarianism claims that there was not creation and that there was no violent worldwide flood, as the Bible and numerous other historical accounts record.  Whatever they observe that does not conform to this complex filter is censored.  The way that it is censored can take several forms.  The ungodly may boldly proclaim that, though the data appears to support God's version and refute the version of the ungodly, yet it still must be interpreted to mean just the opposite of what it does mean.  A backup method that ungodly people use is to prophecy that in the future, science will be able to explain what they see as an anomaly.  If that fails, they will hide the data, set it aside, or lie to keep the public from knowing the truth.  The data clearly demolishes the story of the ungodly and clearly supports the reality of the Creator God, His Bible, and His abiding Presence in His people.  When confronted with the obvious, a closed-minded ungodly person says, "I can't understand it."  They are willingly ignorant because they refuse to hold God in their knowledge.  The reality is that these people, for whatever reason, don't what to know the Creator.  They don't want to truly know Jesus, their Creator.

The Evolutionists will tell you a half truth about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Evolutionists will tell the half truth: "The Second Law of Thermodynamics only applies to isolated systems, so it's not relevant to evolution, because the Earth is an open system." This is a clever lie. Here is the part of the truth that they are withholding: the Second Law of Thermodynamics was derived using theoretical isolated systems, but it applies to all systems, and can only be overcome locally and temporarily in open systems when stringent conditions are met. Not only that, but we are not talking about the Earth. The Earth is just a subsystem of a much larger system called the Universe. The Universe is an isolated system. Evolutionists claim that Evolution took place in this isolated system, but the Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that their story is a myth.

When evolutionists imply that agreement to the first obvious meaning of the word, evolution, compels students to agree to the second doubtful meaning, they use false logic known as equivocation. Evolution isn't science.

When evolutionist teachers tie grades to this agreement, they use the age-old method of persuasion known as coercion.

Both mental loops and coercion have been highly effective methods for evolutionists, haven't they?
