Sir,

A vast amount of what passes for science has to be

unlearnt whenever it becomes overtaken by the results of

more recent discoveries, e.g. witness the abolition of the

'Evolutionary Tree of Life' as reported about three weeks

ago.

My impression is that schoolchildren are being

spoon-fed Darwinism. In present-day Britain, saturated

with political correctness, it may seem strange to

entertain ideas that the Creator meant every word when

He wrote with His own finger, as recorded in Exodus

31:17-18, '...in six days the Lord made the heavens and

the Earth...'

Whilst a schoolchild, I remember how loudly people

laughed in disbelief at the very idea that God created Eve

from Adam's rib. But, since then, with the origin of Dolly

the sheep, the cloning of a mammal has become an

accepted fact.

When travelling on the Heart of Wales Railway, a man

once sat beside me from Knighton to Shrewsbury. Holding

his white stick, he told me how much his computer meant

to him. He explained that it spoke to him when the screen

was touched. That day was special to him because he

hoped to buy a device to allow his computer to obey his

spoken instructions.

That reminded me of someone who also uses Voice

Activating Technology and did not need long time spans

to make particles jump into place to become plants and

animals. When that same Creator became one of His

models, men in a boat on the Sea of Galilee became even

more terrified when the storm stopped when spoken to!

According to Mark 4:41, Christ's disciples asked each

other: "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey

Him?"

Even what happened in the Garden of Eden has been

matched by recent developments - anaesthetic sleep

before and during a surgical operation. Each 'Talking

Telescope' shown in the photograph along the Esplanade

overlooking the South Beach, reminds me of hotel lifts

that speak - like the serpent that tempted the First Lady

on Earth.
