Friends,

A common criticism of ID made by neo-darwinist liars is that our science of Intelligent Design brings no benefits. They claim that ID is useless because it has no practical applications. How wrong they are. More than any other science, I predict that advances in ID biology will yield important discoveries in medicine and soon people will forget entirely about the discredited theory of Evolution. The topic of today’s article is only the “tip of the iceberg” compared to what the ID approach has to offer.

Some recent presentations on the “ID the Future Podcast” by the Discovery Institute’s Luskin-award winning Casey Luskin and Senior Fellow Michael Behe have corrected some common liberal misconceptions about neo-darwinist evolution, these misconceptions have enormous medical impact.

When you visit a doctor with a cold, why is it that he may be reluctant to prescribe a life-saving antibiotic? Could it be because your doctor has fallen for a neo-darwinist lie?

In a nutshell, these podcasts explain that doctors have mis-understood the concept of antibiotic resistance, mainly because they have applied a flawed materialistic, evolutionary world-view to this problem. Doctors often restrict the prescription of anti-biotics because they fear that antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria will evolve, thus creating super-bacteria, which they incorrectly believe might be very deadly diseases. Antibiotic resistant bacterial infections are often cited as evidence for the power of neo-darwinian evolutionary theory. But is it?

What they failed to notice was that each time a bacteria becomes immune to an antibiotic, it usually becomes dramatically weakened and less able to survive in other respects. Antibiotic is like a poision for bacteria. If you took repeated doeses of poison would it make you stronger? Of course, not and the evolutionist’s view makes as much sense as drinking poison to stay healthy!

Evolutionist doctors believe that antibiotic resistance is a bad thing because in their world-view, the thing they fear the most is a strain of bacteria which is resistant to multiple forms of antibiotic; however what they have failed to comprehend is that such a bacterial strain would have been so weakened by evolution as to become hardly a danger to mankind.

Why should eliteist liberal doctors who perform abortions get to decide who receives antibiotics? These drugs are a gift from God to help us fight the Devil’s plague. The Bible commands us to use all weapons at our disposal to fight the enemy.

Why has this knowledge been suppressed? I believe that elitist liberal doctors who have an interest in controlling our access to medication do not want us to know how easy it would be to eliminate all bacterial disease. They keep the antibiotics for themselves, and their liberal friends in order to kill-off hard-working Christians and their families. There is a simple solution to this problem, and it’s a perfectly conservative proposal that would make any Reagan conservative smile:

How would President Reagan have solved this problem: Simple - he’d trust a free, unregulated market economy to distribute antibiotics to anybody who through hard-work and diligence can afford them. Why should Americans be forced to tolerate government hand-outs for these drugs? A free market economy in which the drug-companies have direct access to customers is the only fair way to sell these products.

We simply need to de-regulate the market for antibiotics, so that anybody can buy what they need. Why should we care if the bacteria will become “antibiotic resistant”. As Michael Behe explains in this podcast, a resistant bacteria has been weakened and is therefore unable to cause infection.

Doctors have misunderstood the nature of evolution. Mislead by neo-darwinist lies they have imagined that evolution is a creative, intelligent force that can somehow make bacteria more deadly. As Behe explains, Evolution is nothing to be afraid of, and can only practically weaken a strain of bacteria to the point where it is no longer a threat to mankind.

That’s the kind of practical important results that come from a study of ID - now why is it that Evolutionists are still in denial?

Yours in Christ,
