Christian Fired For Not Believing In Evolution From Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts

Here is the liberal Boston Globe’s take. Please note that the Boston Globe has never found a discrimination lawsuit that it did not like. Until now. The Globe makes their position clear by stating “Evolution is a fundamental tenet of biology that species emerge because of genetic changes to organisms that, over time, favor their survival. ” Keep in mind, this is a news article, not a column! By the way, it is a lie. Evolution is only fundamental to evolutionary biology. It has little to do with other fields. And it also ignores the historical fact that the vast majority of biological research was done before evolution’s universal acceptance by people who did not believe in evolution and were not trained according to the theory. Even then, there is the fact that the evolutionary theory has needed constant revising ever since it was first proposed, so biologists that learn evolution NOW are getting an entirely different set of facts than people who were learning evolution in the 1940s. And people who are being taught evolution 40 years from now will be dealing with a completely different set of facts than they are today. Of course, such people who claim “Evolution is a fundamental tenet of biology” do not care about that. All they care about is that people are taught evolution.

Of course, the scientific community is using evolution as an excuse to prevent Christians from becoming scientists. The reason is that in the very near future, pretty much anything and everything wicked, evil, and anti – Christ will be labeled “scientific”, and they do not want any men or women of God in their ranks to provide opposing SCIENTIFIC viewpoints. This is already being mostly accomplished with censorship. For instance, when it comes to abortion, the media does not speak to any of the 52% of doctors that oppose the procedure. Instead, they only speak to pro – abortion doctors such as the one in this case: The Hypocrisy Of Using Abortion As A Feminism Issue to falsely portray opposition to abortion to be one of religion versus science. Even then, where no opponents of abortion from the medical or scientific perspective are cited, they have no problem finding “Christians” that support feticide so that even the religious objections are undermined. The same is true of homosexuality. It is taken to be a scientifically proven fact in the media and in our education system that homosexuality is genetic. (Not only do they fail to explain how this would be possible according to the “natural selection” component of evolution, but some hypocritically become creationists just for the purpose of the discussion by claiming that “God created gay people.”) But the fact is that no homosexual gene has ever been found, and geneticists say that it almost certainly never will. So why is it that homosexuality is allowed to be portrayed in the media and in our schools as being genetic in the face of a complete lack of evidence? Well, let us just say that the absence of Christians in the field of genetics is mighty convenient. Lacking them, the scientists who know that it is a lie either A) support gay rights or B) are unwilling to sacrifice their careers over it.

But as to whether Nathan Abraham did the right thing here is questionable. I recall the apostle Paul appealing to the government authorities, and have encouraged Christians to do the same in order to defend their rights. But Paul only appealed to Caesar and similar in order to preserve his life and for the right to continue to preach the gospel. He did not do so in order to preserve his right to have a particular job. This is a wretched comparison, of course, but should a Christian doctor sue an abortion clinic for the right to work there but not perform any abortions? Even if he is allowed to retain employment, he would still be supporting the efforts of a mass murder operation. The comparison is not so superficial as it appears. Abraham knows that Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is entirely dedicated to promoting not only evolution, but the mindset and worldview that arises from it. Since we have the horrors of Nazism, communism, and abortion to show us the result of the evolutionary mindset – which in truth is just a mindset that rejects the knowledge of God for a lie – why should Abraham want to work there in the first place? Even if he himself would have succeeded in his goal of refusing to endorse evolution there, he “said he was willing to do research using evolutionary concepts.” So basically, anything that he did there would have been in advancement of something that is really nothing more than a political ideology and religious belief, and a very dangerous one at that.

A Christian with a Ph.D. in biology (it appears that his specialty is marine biology) can find other work than at an evolution propaganda center, but Nathaniel Abraham chose not to. (If the case is that a Christian with a marine biology degree cannot find work, then perhaps Christians should consider becoming trained in other fields … Jesus Christ was a carpenter/laborer, remember, and a carpenter/laborer can find a job anywhere!) Even more to the point, what happens if the federal government agrees with Abraham? It will only set yet another precedent giving the leviathan state more coercive control and authority over the workplace and over personal decisions. (Though some Christians have criticized Frank Peretti, this guy really does need to read “This Present Darkness” and “Piercing The Darkness” … reading those books caused me to oppose the neoconservative school voucher agenda.)

There are only two possible outcomes to this action of Abraham. Heads, Satan legally enshrines the notion that it is fine to discriminate against Christians, and not only Christian biologists, but ALL CHRISTIANS. (You are aware of how once a precedent gets set it is a rather easy thing to expand it in our modern legal climate). And Satan would be fine with that. Tails? The anti – Christ state has yet another precedent that it can use to force virtually any workplace to hire virtually anybody “qualified” no matter what they believe or how they act. From the Salvation Army’s hiring regional directors to your local church hiring people to work in their daycares, the Nathaniel Abraham decision will be cited to force them to hire any devil worshiper witch pagan atheist that wants to come bewitch the whole place and subvert its good works. (Some would argue that this is happening already, but at present it is not because of government fiat.) And Satan would be pleased with that outcome as well. Christians should avoid situations where “heads Satan wins, tails Satan wins.” Instead, Christians should seek situations where the only possible outcome is advancement of the kingdom of heaven. Of course, that can only happen by virtue of our being obedient to Jesus Christ.

Now did God tell Nathaniel Abraham to 1. seek employment at Woods Hole, 2. to tell his supervisor that he was a creationist, 3. file a federal lawsuit when he was fired? I sincerely hope so; that Nathaniel Abraham committed this issue to prayer and received direction from God before deciding to pursue his lawsuit. If he did not, then his actions may ironically result in his current employer, Liberty University, being unable to restrict the employee pool of its seminary to Christians in the very near future.
