ALREADY PLACEO
in your
mind, it is amazing what thc mind can
believe it has "seen"! Thc conclusions
reached are the result of a basic
ap–
proach
to the facts presented -
a
be·
ginning
p,·emise.
For example, once a student has been
assured, in advance, the information he
is about to receive is
proof of evol11tion,
once his whole
approach
has been col–
ored by rniod
conditiotzing,
it
is truly
"easy" for him to "observe" how the
carefully arranged skeletal systems of,
say, tiny eohippus, larger horses, gib·
bons, apes and mao "might have"
formed parts of an evolutionary ''tree."
But think of a relevant example. Sup·
pose you wanted to play a trick on an
unsuspecting frieod. You have carefully
heated a poker in the fireplace, and have
a piece of beefsteak close by. Also, you
have an ice-cold poker in hand, con–
cealed from your friend. Suppose you
ask him to close his eyes, and then
guickly touch the back of his hand with
the icy poker, while instantaneously
searing the piece of meat with the red
hot poker? What will be bis reaction ?
1
don't advocate that anyone actually
attempt such a
trick,
since it could bring
about a fainting or heart attack - but,
knowing the power tbe h1.1mao mind has
over thc body, 1 believe it is safe to say
it is not only quite likely the man would
be
1111ttbie
to
determine
in those first few
seconds whether he had actl.1ally been
The
PLAIN TRUTH
b!fmed
or not, but it is also possible he
might find that section of hís skin ac–
tually turning red.
If
he was properly prepared to be–
lieve he was going to be burnt, his mind
would wrongly interpret the fceling of
extreme cold as being extreme heat! Yet
the two are exact opposites.
Students whose minds are prepared to
believe they will be seeing "proof" of
progression,
rather than similarity of
DESIGN,
will accept such "proof" as
being
ACTUAL.
Aod how many dass–
rooms are thcre, today, where
BOTH AL–
TERNATIVES
are presented fairly?
How many textbooks are there where,
say, the right hand pages all set forth
the evolutionary points of view, and the
left hand ones set forth the view of spe–
cial creation?
How many colleges and uoivers1t1es
exist with courses which
COMBJNE
both
possibilities? Or isn't it more common
to find theologians being traioed in at–
mosphere which seem to cootinue in
sublime
IGNORANCE
of modero evolu–
tionary thought, just as scientists and
evolutionists remain in sublime
IGNO·
RANCE
of the Bible, and what it plainly
says?
This artide, by itself, does not dis–
prove evolution. lt could hardly pretend
to "prove" creation. But it
HAS
in–
tended to sharpeo the issues a little
more clearly, and to present the truth
about the basic
APPROACH
found in all
too many cases.

Every month, you can expect articles
in the pages of this magazine exposing
the false doctrines of evolution for what
they real!y are - the greatest hoax ever
foisted upon the minds of unsuspecting
people - a veritable latter-day
FAITH,
complete with dogma, doctrines, and
mysteries. Shockingly, you would find,
if you cared to research it for yourself,
a
remarkable
similarity of approach m
traditional religions and the theosy of
evolution

"I
must thaok you for something very
special. My son has been on 'tbe long
hair' kick so to speak. Not extremely
long, but longer than I would like it
to be and all
my
pleadiog, coaxiog and
threateoing have been in vain. In your
last issue under 'What Our Readers
Say,'

read the answer you gave to an
individual g11oting a Bible text about
the length of hair a mao should have.

Cor.
11:14. I
read it to my son and
told him to think about it. He came
to me and said, 'Okay mom, 1 get
you.r point, no more long hair prob–
lems.' You can imagine my joy and
I
thank you sincerely for this simple an–
swer to a problem of long duratioo."

"In the Jaouary issue which

was very impressed with your
reply to a letter written by a Brian R.,
Hinsdale, Illinois, regarding Jesus.
I
was surprised to learn that Jesus bad
short hair- and I did look it up in
I
Cor.
11:14,
as suggested, and it was
there. I really eojoyed your total reply,
but the part about bis hair was a com–
plete surprise to me.... Appareotly
most of us don't stop to realize that the
artists who painted the pictures we are
constantly seeing everywhere of Jesus,
didn't really know what he looked like.
Thanks for opening my eyes."
