The Case of The "Intelligent designer"



In March 1925 the Tennessee legislature outlawed the teaching of any doctrine denying the divine creation of Man as taught by the Bible. In July of that same year, John T. Scopes, a high school teacher, was brought to trial for teaching Evolution in violation of the state law. The ensuing Scopes Trial (or, deridedly, the "Monkey TriaI”) drew worldwide attention to the seemingly irreconcilable conflict between Creationism (the old fashioned belief in the biblical account) and Evolution (based on Darwin's findings of Natural Selection).
John Scopes was found guilty and was fined $100; the Tennessee law was repealed in 1967; but the debate has not ended: Is Man, Homo sapiens, solely the product of a long process of natural selection (“Evolution"), or the result of a divine decision, a deliberate act by a Creator ("Creationism”)?

The Evolutionists cannot fathom how the other side can ignore the overwhelming evidence for life’s beginnings billions of years ago and claim that it is all the result of six days of creation; the Creationists, pointing out that a complex watch required a watchmaker, cannot see how the sudden appearance of Homo sapiens as the most complex life form can deny the Hand of God.

Enter “Intelligent Design”
In the past several years the debate has manifested itself again, with greater vigor, not only in the so-called Bible Belt states, but also in unexpected places as the Michigan House of Representatives and the Pennsylvania education system. The most recent instance is Ohio, where the arena is the state's Board of Education.

Reports of these developments in the liberal media do not hide a degree of alarm at these developments -- not so much because they continue to occur, but because the attack on Darwinian teachings now come from “Creationism in disguise,” and “a good disguise” at that (Time magazine). The disguise is called "Intelligent Design” (“I.D.” for short); Its proponents, by and large, do not take a position on how Life got here; they just deny that natural selection (i.e. evolution) alone could have brought us about. Somewhere along the way, they hold, there had to be an Intelligent Designer.

What alarms the media and the scientific community is the fact that the proponents of ID are not Bible-waving old ladies, but intellectuals and academics from varied disciplines in science, philosophy and theology. Their concerted attack on Evolutionism has been called by the established scientific community “a wedge strategy to restore Creationism in disguise” (Science magazine).

Identifying the Intelligent Designer
The proponents of the new version of Creationism, one must conclude from a study of their writings and arguments, find it easier to make a case for Intelligent Design than to answer the question: If so, who was the Intelligent Designer?

While many scientific critics of ID hold that the neo-Creationists are conservative Christians upset about the displacement of God from school curricula, “the fact is that many leaders of the new movement prefer to skirt the question, or even allow an abstract “God” to be embedded in the very beginning of the universe: “No one really knows how the universe got built with DNA that can replicate itself,” (in the words of William Demski, a professor of mathematics).

A New York Times Puzzler
In its issue of April 8, 2001, The New York Times, in a page-one article by James Glanz, informed its readers that in spite of some wins by Evolutionists in Kansas, Michigan and Pennsylvania, they “find themselves arrayed not against traditional creationism, with its roots in biblical liberalism, but against a more sophisticated idea: the Intelligent Design theory.”

But who, if so, was the Intelligent Designer? As I was reading the article on that Sunday morning, I was delighted to learn that

The designer may be much like the biblical God, proponents say, but they are open to other explanations, such as the proposition that life was seeded by a meteorite from elsewhere in the cosmos, or the new age philosophy that the universe is suffused with mysterious but inanimate life force.

That proponents of ID consider the bringing of life to Earth by a meteorite as one explanation, I felt, was close enough to my Sumerian explanation that the Seed of Life (what we now call DNA) was imparted to Earth by the invading planet Nibiru during the collision (“Celestial Battle”) some four billion years ago.

But it turned out from examining the newspaper’s website and earlier editions, that the New York City edition that I was reading excised an intriguing and key sentence from the original article. Here is what the paragraph had read in its original version, with the omitted sentence highlighted:

This designer may be much like the biblical God, proponents say, but they are open to other explanations, such as the proposition that life was seeded by a meteorite from elsewhere in the cosmos, POSSIBLY INVOLVING EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE, or the new age philosophy that the universe is suffused with a mysterious but inanimate life force.

"An Advanced Civilization from Another World"

As my readers know, what I have said in my books went beyond the common origin of Life (=DNA) on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe. I showed that according to the Sumerian texts (on which the biblical account of Genesis was based), Evolution took its course both on Nibiru and on Earth. Beginning much earlier on Nibiru, it produced the advanced Anunnaki on Nibiru but only early hominids on Earth when the Anunnaki had come here some 450,000 years ago. Then, I wrote, the Anunnaki engaged in genetic engineering to upgrade the hominids to Homo sapiens (to be in their likeness and after their image, as the Bible says).

While I was still wondering how the extraterrestrial angle was excised from the Times article in April 2001, I was delighted to read thus in its editorial on March 17, 2002. Headlined Darwinian Struggle in Ohio, the editorial explained:

Adherents of intelligent design carefully shun any mention of God in their proposals. They simply argue that humans, animals and plants are far too diverse and complex to be explained by evolution and natural selection, so there must have been an intelligent designer behind it all. Whether that designer is God, AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION FROM ANOTHER WORLD, or some other creative force, is not specified.

The emphasis of the astounding statement is mine.

Back to Enki?
This is quite an advance in acknowledging the Sumerian data – from the general possibility of an involvement by “Extraterrestrial Intelligence” in cosmic life, to an Intelligent Designer from “an advanced civilization from another world.”

It is progress spanning the tale of the collision that spread the Seed of Life to the genetic engineering by the Lord Enki.

Have the editorial writers of the New York Times read my latest book, The Lost Book of Enki?

This shows Elohim creating their man in Genesis 1:26 And Y said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of Y created he him; male and female created he them.

Any concept on this is purely speculation but amusing. It was not until the "sixth day" Gen. 1:24-31 that the enterprise of forming man in the "image and likeness of the Elohim" (Genesis 1:26), gave man domain over the fish, birds, cattle and etc. The Bible tells us clearly, that some form of man was created by the Elohim, implying that Darwin's evolutionary man could have a missing link but that the one created by Yahweh (Genesis 2:7) can not have a missing link between His man and that of thinking man, Adam. Much time has passed since Darwin and still no one has found the missing link. Darwin only suggested that there was an evolutionary link between ape and man.

"We know that Homo sapiens existed about 35,000 years ago, with a skeleton identical to ours. He evolved from Homo faber, the product of an evolutionary process spread over several hundred million years." - "The Coming of the Gods" Jean Sendy page 5.

Archaeologists digging in the Middle East have found artifacts that indicate that Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon and modern man all existed during the same period. This not only shoots down the theory of evolution, but suggests that modern man, a creature with a conscience and consciousness, was separate and distinct from primitive man. Also if the Biblical Story of the Deluge is taken into account then any other forms were eliminated from the gene pool. Therefore man as we know him may have no direct biological linkage with the lower animals at all, except through any crossbreeding that occurred. Modern day humanity is the creation of a specific humankind that survived the Flood! Any evolutionary species formerly created by the LORD God that may have evolved from primates is long extinct and is not connected to modern humanity except through crossbreeding from selective mating before the Flood. The Evolutionist and the Creationist will ponder over this one!


Neanderthal DNA very different from humans'
Associated Press - "DNA extracted from 29,000-year-old bones has cast doubt on the theory that modern humans evolved in part from squat, heavy-browed Neanderthals, researchers say.

Researchers compared DNA from a Neanderthal skeleton found in Russia to an older sample.While the two Neanderthal samples turned out to be just 3.5 percent different from one another, they were roughly 7 percent different from DNA in modern humans.

Scientists consider that to be a substantial gap.
'It all points away from the Neanderthal,' said one of the researchers, William Goodwin, a molecular biologist at the Human Identification Center in Glasgow, Scotland.

The findings are being published in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature.
The research challenges the theory that modern humans evolved at least partly from Neanderthals, which some believe mated in large numbers with modern Europeans before disappearing 25,000 years ago.

Neanderthals were burly, primitive creatures with a prominent brow, thick jaw and short, powerful limbs. Originating in Africa, they appeared in Europe and Asia roughly 100,000 years ago."

We will stay tuned for future developments regarding this.
The effects of the glaciation had certainly been dissipated before 10,000 B.C., at which point the general conditions were very similar to what they are now.

"Could seventeen thousand years of oral transmission in Paleolithic times have preserved an account of the passage from the glaciation to normal conditions as logical and coherent as the one that appears in the Bible? It is hard to think so." - "The Moon: Outpost of the Gods" Jean Sendy page 131.

In Genesis 2:4 it states, "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens." The word "generation" implies a specific time period within the days of the creation and is a good basis for the assumption of each "day" being 2,160 years long. A day in Genesis means literally, "And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day (or, 'period of time')."
