Snake Evolution does not Impress Former Atheist

Atheists and other evolutionists have a tendency to use the word evolution loosely, conflating change and variation with universal common ancestry. That bait 'n' switch trick is used to fool people into believing that Darwin was right, so there is no Creator.

If anti-creationists bothered to learn what we believe and teach, they would learn that natural selection, speciation, and other variations are accepted by most creation science models. Also, many evolutionists misunderstand and misrepresent natural selection. Consider the alleged evolution of Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades.

These big snakes are native to Southeast Asia (the name kind of gives that away), but some people illegally have them in Florida. (I wonder how many pythons there were named Monty? Just something I had to squeeze in here.) They escape or get turned loose, and are an invasive species that causes harm to native wildlife.

An article in 2025 discussed a Florida cold snap in 2010 that killed a number of critters as well as many of those pest pythons. Evolutionists falsely claim that the survivors evolved very quickly — hail Darwin, blessed be!

But the snakes did not change into something else. Also, Darwin's disciples here not only wanted evolution both ways (it is very slow, except when it is fast), but drew from the pantheism well. This is science? Not hardly! Pythons were created with the capacity to thrive.

A former atheist was (obviously) locked into evolutionary philosophies, but became a Christian (professing atheists become furious when that happens). He is not wearing his Darwin spectacles and views the world with true lenses. The spurious claims of python evolution are in his sights.

Paganism is alive and well in the scientific community!

Our evolutionary ‘first parents’ – Mother Nature (Gk. Gaia) and Father Time (Gk. Chronos) – are at it again, creating new and improved images of themselves before our very eyes!

The 2010 cold snap may have created a subset of pythons better able to survive cold temperatures — and thus better adapted to spread beyond the northern boundaries of its current range.

For what we are told is a mindless and purposeless process of accumulated random mistakes, it never ceases to amaze how ubiquitous the verb to create seems to be in the writings of evolutionary thinkers. Wasn’t the purpose of evolutionary thinking to free us from silly personifications of transcendent beings?
