by Roger Oakland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evolution, according to its biological definition, is a mechanism that changes life through time. Although for years, many have used the idea of evolution to explain away God, there are many today who are saying, because of evolution, everything is God. This trend is obvious in Great Britain, the very country where Charles Darwin authored his theory – physics has turned into metaphysics? How is this possible?<\/p>\n

Glastonbury is situated in the southern part of England. From antiquity, Glastonbury has been known as a mystical center where numerous people have made the claim they have encountered the spiritual realm. Many and fantastic are the legends, a mythology which is still alive and growing today. Every year people go there from all over the world seeking spiritual solutions to their physical problems.<\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to visit Glastonbury in the spring of 1997 while I was in England. I had just spent a couple of days researching the life of Charles Darwin and investigating the impact this man had on so many lives. His message, centered on natural selection and survival of the fittest, still shapes the thinking of evolutionists today. His motive, a disdain for Christianity, provides the basis for the \u201cscientific\u201d view there is no need for the supernatural. Today, throughout England and around the world, numerous monuments erected in his honor called \u201cnatural history museums,\u201d project his beliefs as if he were God.<\/p>\n

My trip to Glastonbury and Stonehenge revealed another aspect of Darwinism that most \u201cevolutionary biologists\u201d are not thrilled to discuss. The idea of natural selection may have been designed to explain God away, but in reality, through time, it has been the catalyst which has created an environment which has done exactly the opposite. It seems there has been a major shift in thinking over the past few decades. Our present generation has become frustrated with believing in naturalism. Now they are willing to believe that anything and everything is God.<\/p>\n

There is no question mysticism and superstition, which modern science was supposed to have eliminated, has made a comeback in Great Britain. The shops in Glastonbury were filled with spiritual paraphernalia which would make one think we had returned to the pagan past.<\/p>\n

At the core of these resurrected ideas was the basic belief in evolution. Man, according to the \u201cnew spirituality,\u201d is on the verge of taking a giant leap of evolution. \u201cSpace brothers\u201d or \u201cspiritual guides,\u201d whom it is believed have evolved to a \u201chigher lever,\u201d are waiting for us to make the leap. Meanwhile, worldly intellects are encouraged to spend their time practicing yoga, humming mantras or rubbing crystals. There are many ways to contact the \u201cgods.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am fascinated with how evolution has evolved over the years – from mysticism to Darwinism then back to mysticism again. History has repeated itself, just as it has done many times before. The only thing that is unique this time is that \u201cevolutionary mysticism\u201d is a global religion. The Bible describes this current trend as \u201cChristian Babylonianism.\u201d The Bible also makes it clear that it will trigger off God\u2019s wrath. Based upon my understanding of current events, it appears the time of God\u2019s wrath may be soon!<\/p>\n
