Christ born of a gorilla?

by Ken Ham on March 2, 2007

I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of the author of this book referred to (in a WorldNetDaily article) on Judgment day:

New "Bible" says Christ born of gorilla, not virgin

"If Jesus was alive today, he would understand that his ancestors ... were beasts"

A new, lavishly illustrated book — described by its marketer as a "postmodern" edition of the Bible — takes Darwin's theory of evolution as gospel and presents Jesus as being born, "not to a virgin, but to a gorilla."

An excerpt from the book states:

He was born in a manger a long time ago — not to a virgin — but to a gorilla. What's so funny? Who did you expect his ancestors to look like, Tom Cruise? But wait. I'm not making fun of Jesus. I'm not mocking religion. In fact, from the deepest wellspring of my heart, I'm despairing something we've lost in our scientific culture. Yes, if Jesus was alive today, he would understand that his ancestors, just like ours, were beasts. No, he wouldn't run around claiming he was born of a virgin. And, brilliant rabbi that he was, he would likely ask us to understand the miracle stories metaphorically — as morality tales — but certainly not as literal truth.

Take a deep breath and read the rest of this article here.

LIFE CHANGING

It is always encouraging to get life-changing testimonies like this:

I was just thinking that the museum will be open soon and we should be planning our first BIG home school field trip to visit is, probably this fall. Then, I started thinking about the first time I heard about Answers in Genesis. I would listen to Ken's broadcast every morning on the radio, lying in bed while recovering from a miscarriage. I couldn't understand why such a bad thing happened to us. I have read many of the resources from AIG in the years since. I had learned evolution in school, and never taught differently in Sunday School. Now I know the Bible is the real history of the world and we are teaching our boys the truth too. The information I get from you is life changing. Thank you.
