Knee-Mail: “If Ardi Could Talk”

Subject: October 12, 2009 Time Magazine Article on Ardi
Posted: April 19, 2010
KH: Hey Ardi, I read lots of articles about you in the news over the last month. You’ve made quite a splash on the science scene.
Ardi (AR): I know! It’s pretty silly isn’t it!?
KH: It’s really silly and would be funny if this stupid evolution theory didn’t have such serious side effects. So who are you really?
AR: Well, as you can see, I’m less than four feet tall, have big toes that stick out to the side so I can grasp tree branches, have long fingers and have feet that make it possible, but difficult for me to walk on two legs.
KH: That sounds just like lots of ape-like creatures today.
AR: Of course it does, because that’s what I am. God designed me for climbing trees.
KH: The October 12, 2009 Time magazine article says you are “A Long-Lost Relative of Humans (p. 42).
AR: That’s ridiculous! Humans have babies all the time and they are always human. Apes, monkeys and gorillas have babies all the time as well and they are always like their parents. Why would those authors want to believe I’m their great-great grandma?
KH: I think it’s because they like the freedom from morals that this silly belief brings. If humans are just higher apes, then there are no rules against adultery, lying, etc. It gives them freedom from God—they think.
AR: Well that idea is not only silly, it’s dangerous! Anyone with half a brain knows there was a designer for this complex world and all the amazing life forms. The designer also gave rules to make His creation run smoothly. Anyone who disobeys those rules will not only mess up the order of things here but will be in serious trouble when they face the Creator on judgment day!
KH: They don’t want to admit that there will be a judgment day (II Peter 3:3-7). They are in for a real shock, aren’t they?
AR: That’s for sure!
KH: The magazine articles say you are 4.4 million years old. Is this true?
AR: It’s not polite to ask a woman her age, but that is a real insult to say I’m that old. Not only is it an insult, it is w-a-a-a-y off! I died about 4,400 years ago. I was a teen just about to get married and start my own family.
KH: How did you die?
AR: It was terrible! We had heard about this man named Noah building a big boat he called an ark because a flood was coming, but it had never rained, so most other humans thought he was crazy. The people God had made were so wicked! They didn’t care what God’s rules were. They did what they pleased. There was lots of violence, too.
When the ark was done, two of my cousins felt this strange urge to go get on the boat, so they did. Lots of animals went in there, and God shut the door. A few days later, we heard and felt the ground shake like the earth was ripping open! All the animals that were not on the boat began to panic and run around looking for a place to hide. It began to rain terribly hard and water came shooting up out of the ground. It was awful! About forty of us cousins all tried to run to safety, but there was just no place to go. We all drowned together. The last thing I remember is the water and mud getting deeper and deeper over our heads.
KH: Well, a lot of people spent a lot of time digging up your bones in Ethiopia and hundreds of people have spent thousands of hours studying them.
AR: Do they get paid for that?
KH: Oh, yes! Lots of money!
AR: That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of! What good are my bones? They can’t eat them or build anything out of them.
KH: You know it is stupid, and I know it is stupid, but they don’t. They only know they must find something to report in the news once in a while to keep people paying them and to keep people believing their dumb theory of evolution.
AR: Is it working?
KH: With millions of people, it is working, Ardi, but not with everyone. Over half of the people in my country don’t believe the earth is billions of years old, or that you are our ancestor.
AR: Good, because I’m not. Try to convince the other half, would you?
KH: Oh, I try, but they are what the Bible calls “willingly ignorant” (2 Peter 3). They really don’t want to admit there is a God to answer to one day.
AR: Well, they will answer to Him whether they like it or not (Hebrews 9:27). The people in Noah’s day didn’t think they would be judged by God—but wow! When God had put up with their sins long enough, He destroyed everything really fast! My bones should be used to warn people about God’s judgment—not teach them some stupid theory that we are related to humans! I’m so sorry they are lying about me, but what can I do? I’m dead!
KH: There are thousands of people like me that will try to spread the truth about you, Ardi. Some will listen, and some will not. We will see the final score judgment day.
AR: That’s for sure! Keep telling them the truth!
KH: Oh, I will! Right now my videos do the job, but I hope to be out soon and get back to telling them in person.
AR: I wish you the best.
kh: Thanks.
KH: Hey, Lord? You said that if I would delight myself in You that You would give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). My desire is that my case be overturned and that I be sent home!
GOD: I’ve got everything under control, Son. Go walk a few laps. I’ve got your back.
Bro Kent. a lot of talk gets unwisely bandied about “what Satan did to me/ the church etc. etc…..”. I am yet to hear much spoken about “what Satan did for me……”
Moses’ serpent ate the serpents of Pharaohs’ servants.
Pharaoh seems to have had Moses “outnumbered” – is that a democracy question? But at a show of strength Moses’ serpent outnumbered Pharaoh’s. A majority of one?
Perhaps you can meditate on this feature of the Bible? When Paul said hand them over to Satan for the destruction of their flesh, is the implication that Satan could serve in Paul’s ministry team?
Since Calvary I see nothing in scripture to suggest that Satan isn’t already the defeated foe. His continuing role must suit God’s plan – otherwise He would already be thoroughly bound?
Many might be repulsed at the notion. What can Satan do “for the Church”?
I don’t know who that angel of destruction was that passed over the houses on which the blood was sprinkled. It is a guess but it seems that when an angel of destruction is required Satan has filled a role on the past.
Once again, might I suggest you meditate on this. God has never been lacking in power to change your situation. But like a man of “stammering speech” were you entirely willing to have it changed?
Gen 12 …….. the LORD plagued…….because of… [Sarai, Abram's]…. wife.
Gen 20 ……….Abimelech[1] …… said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
God said ……. if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
……. the men were sore afraid.
……on my kingdom a great sin…. deeds……..that ought not to be done.
[any time a principle is repeated in Holy Scripture one can assume it to be to reinforce an important teaching. Brother Kent. I expect from these verses that Abimelech, himself, could be raised up to sit in judgement of what he has witnessed of this generation.
would God bring to nothing a nation of 300 million because of one man's wife. I don't see why not. He is God. He has spoken these things into existance. God who cannot lie has spoken.. should not all Heaven and Earth bear witness to that which He has spoken? ]
[1.] Abimelech means, Father of The King.
My son Enoch and I prayed again for that very thing – that our Father would expose the Truth in your case and exonerate you from all charges. Like Job of old, that all that you had would be restored to you 100 fold. We prayed that our Father would continue to write through you, just like He wrote through the Apostle Paul while he was jailed for following the Lord… just like He wrote through the Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos. We prayed that our Father would give you Good Fruit everywhere you go… that people would continue to be saved through your life… that you would continue to be Broken Bread and Poured out Wine – glorifying the Father through the things that you suffer.
We also remembered Creation Science Ministries, Eric, your wife and the ‘others’ who faithfully continue to work that people will know the Truth.
I thank God for the strong Faith and Faithfulness that He has given to you. We Love you.
In daring to engage atheists/agnostics/evolutionists and unthinking sinful people in my own community … I drew this response!
Talk about using religion to divide and conquer people; talk about Satan using RELIGION as his greatest weapon to lead people to hell; talk about employing the appeal of intellectualism as your mind-control TOOL over an entire false religious system of predominately sincere God-reverencing souls by the Nicolaitans(Revelation 2:6, 2:15)!
“The International Theological Commission of the Roman Catholic Church, in a July 2004 statement endorsed by Cardinal Ratzinger, then president of the Commission and head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, now Pope Benedict XVI, includes this paragraph:”
Quote
According to the widely accepted scientific account, the universe erupted 15 billion years ago in an explosion called the ‘Big Bang’ and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Later there gradually emerged the conditions necessary for the formation of atoms, still later the condensation of galaxies and stars, and about 10 billion years later the formation of planets. In our own solar system and on earth (formed about 4.5 billion years ago), the conditions have been favorable to the emergence of life. While there is little consensus among scientists about how the origin of this first microscopic life is to be explained, there is general agreement among them that the first organism dwelt on this planet about 3.5 – 4 billion years ago. Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have descended from this first organism. Converging evidence from many studies in the physical and biological sciences furnishes mounting support for some theory of evolution to account for the development and diversification of life on earth, while controversy continues over the pace and mechanisms of evolution.
Fellow Christian Creationist – the HARVEST is truly great! – Among those who “like the freedom from morals”…this is America, exercise your FREE SPEECH rights before they are GONE!
Nebechanezzar’s reign ended; The Romans Empire fell, the Colonists on American threw off tyranny, Napolean’s conquest ended, and so did Hitler’s – the New World Order is a house of cards in the sight of God – but if His church remains SILENT – we will go down with this sinking ship; and it will be our own fault for not trusting Him; and fearing we cannot do what Dr. Hovind has told us to do … “at least carry bullets”!
Dear brother Kent Hovind,
I’m assuming that you are able to read these blogs, and I very much hope that you can. I’m a younger brother in Christ but I want you to know that the Creation ministry God has accomplished through you has had a great influence on my life. God used it to really charge me up for Him in my high school days and to get me passionate about a very important and foundational truth that Genesis proclaimes and to defend it. Although God had placed a call to ministry on my life before I was aware of your videos, I feel that in a large way, without what God has done through you I would not have pursued it as I have. I am now almost finished an undergrad in Bible college here in Canada, and in part, I have your obedience to our Father pointing me in that direction to thank for it. I don’t know if you can respond to these, but know that you are lvoed and you, your wife, your family and your marriage are prayed for. How long is the rest of your sentence? I pray that our God would set you free soon. Is your wife also incarserated? I have prayed for you both that you would be strengthened in this hard time, and by the looks of your blogs it seems that God is doing great things for you even where you’re at. Dear brother, my heart breaks with yours and your wife’s that this has happened to you and I look forward to hearing about the day this trial for your family is over! God has blessed countless people through you and your family and still is! Stay strong! if I can help please let me know, do you have specifics you would like prayer for? this too shall pass!
Your younger and greatful brother in Christ!
