Call Darwinists ‘Slime-Snake-Monkey-People’ Author Urges Christians
Merited Ridicule May Shame Them into Accepting Evidence in Greek Art for Genesis Events
ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, August 21 /Christian Newswire/ — Solving Light Books announced today the release of Robert Bowie Johnson Jr.’s new book, “Noah in Ancient Greek Art,” featuring 27 ancient images of the Greek version of Noah. The book details Noah’s role in Greek art as a known historical figure in relation to whom the artists were able to depict, and boast of, the rapid growth of their contrary spiritual outlook, exalting man, instead of God, as the measure of all things.
In his previous book, “The Parthenon Code: Mankind’s History in Marble” (a 288-page hardback now translated into Greek and French), Mr. Johnson presents abundant evidence that ancient Greek art preserves a record of humanity’s origins matching the Genesis account, but from an opposite viewpoint- that the serpent enlightened, rather than deluded, the first couple in paradise.
“In Greek art, we find detailed, consistent portrayals of the early Genesis themes including: the ancient garden, the serpent-entwined apple tree, the first family, Cain killing Abel, the Flood, and the successful rebellion against Noah after the Flood. Greek artists made the gods look just like people because that’s who they were-our ancestors. Socrates himself referred to the gods as such,” Mr. Johnson said.
The author devotes the final section of his new book to explaining why mainstream scientists, academics, and journalists remain oblivious to the true significance of Greek art. “Their ruling paradigm is Darwinism, a closed-minded, anti-Creator mindset which compels them to ignore or deny any evidence which tends to validate the Book of Genesis. Viewing Greek art as what it truly represents — human history — painfully contradicts their pompous evolutionist speculation. That’s why they must blindly insist that ancient Greek vase-painters and sculptors spent their entire lives portraying nothing more than myths,” Mr. Johnson stated.
[...]
To shock the Darwinists out of their denial of the overwhelming evidence in Greek art for the reality of Genesis events, the author urges Creationists to refer to evolutionists as what they imagine they are-”Slime-Snake-Monkey-People.” Mr. Johnson, who holds a general science degree from West Point, also suggests that since Slime-Snake-Monkey-People insist they evolved over millions of years through a countless series of random mutations, Christians should also refer to them as “mutants.”
No. I'm serious, just no. I've gotten rather used to the anti-scientific fuckwittery of you mouth breathers but you step the fuck off of art history. You hear me? Just back away slowly and nobody gets hurt.
I would also like to point out that for my first year of grad school I worked in the Classics department and was responsible for organizing the Greek and Roman slide collection. I can assure you, from personal experience not to mention an actual academic specialty in the field, that this man is delusional at best, a complete fucking liar at worst. But even if my only understanding of classical Greek art came from checking out some pictures at the local Gyro shop, I would still know this guy was full of shit. What is wrong with these people? Is their faith really so fragile that they have to pull this fanciful bullshit theories out of their asses just to maintain it?

Date: 2007-08-28 11:06 pm (UTC)I don't really mind the 'Mutant' attempt at a slur. Yes, I am a Mutant. So are you. And the slime-snake-monkey-people is just so unwieldy - go ahead and say that, I'll wait. It has no pizazz.
And, um, if the Greeks really had Special Insight into creation, since they lived much closer to that time, doesn't their art tend to support a pro-Zeus, rather than a pro-Jehovah, mythology? I mean, by rather staggering orders of magnitude?
C'mon, try harder, people.

Date: 2007-08-29 02:09 am (UTC)In a world where Muslims are called "towelheads" on radio talk shows and every race and ethnicity has its own peculiar derogatory word, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see that now there is a form of name-calling against evolutionists. Not the brightest way of going about "making disciples of all nations," I'd say. SIGH
Y'know what, these folks are making an idol of creationism. They're more concerned with pushing their views on the world any old way they can than they are with living Christ-like lives and being salt and light. They give Christ's followers a bad name. And that pisses me off.
There are those out there who would tell me that for having even thought that, I'm going to hell to be poked up the arse with sharp fiery sticks, forever and ever, Amen. But for crying out loud.

Date: 2007-08-29 02:33 am (UTC)I'm assuming this is a rhetorical question since the answer is an obvious (to me at least) DUH YEAH.
What am I missing... where does the "slime" come from? Oh wait, is that a reference to "primordial ooze" that some people casually use? Maybe I just answered my own question.
I don't know how you can bear to read about all these fuckwits who are the most closed-minded and screwed up of all, all the time. It pains me to hear, listen, or read about people like this, and I know I can never change their minds, so I usually just have to ignore them as a self preservation mechanism. I just can't afford to get all riled up, ya know? In fact, I usually have to skip or skim these posts of yours as part of that self preservation mechanism. I guess I felt particularly resilient tonight. ;)
You should see J and I when we go back to Alabama in May and have to sit through a Southern Baptist sermon on Sunday. You can usually find me squeezing his hand until it turns red and white.
