Where are atheist to explain this in terms of evolution?

There is something that makes me wonder. God tells Isaiah 1:3 that the ox knows its master, the donkey its owner.....Answers in Genesis, an apologetics Ministry online opines that "Many animals are endowed with remarkable and interesting abilities, and evolutionists contend that humans are just smart animals. But the Bible reveals how and why human beings possess not only the ability to express and understand original abstract thoughts through language but also the ability to know—and be accountable to—their Creator.

          The fact above is also supported in the Bible in Genesis 3: 18 that AFTER Adam sinned, the consequences were a punishment that included a struggle to provided for himself and death. The bibles says : "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." I am a firm supporter of human beings being buried instead of being cremated because that how my Lord was buried and even animals who cannot speak know that even them, came from dust and shall return to dust.

The big Chasm between God and Humanity

Whenever I read Paul, the Bible speaks to me in very profound ways that I cannot express in words. I have come to love my Christian Faith by understanding somethings that I could not understand when I sat under any of my teachers and before I discovered the key to the scripture tucked in 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The key is in rightly dividing the word of truth. 

When I visited Buddhist temples in Thailand, Hindu temples in Kenya, Krishna temples and Islamic Mosques, I never understood what I saw in the temples until I looked at Paul in his letters that all I saw made meaning.One reality that you and I can vividly see is that there is alienation evident in human relations. THERE IS A BIG CHASM BETWEEN the haves and the havenots, the rich and the poor, the first world and the third world, the religious and the infidels, Jubilee coalition and CORD, The Democrats and the Republicans and the list goes on and on. This gap is caused by what the bible calls SIN. This separation started in the garden of Eden and from then on, humanity has faced wars factions and rebellion. 

The chasm I mentioned above, creates in man a hunger for something extraordinaire, something supernatural that he can run to for defense and protection, for extra power to conquer the enemy within and without, for comfort, for satisfaction, and for answers to the many QUESTIONS he has been unable to answer.Some, in the search for the answers and quest for insight in what might be the causes of these human predicaments, have resorted to magic, witchcraft, Loliondo, prophet so and so, bishop so and so, church this and that and the list is endless. In the world of politics, the Chasm( read sin) has caused human beings to call others refugees, immigrants, terrorists and so on.

The other Religions of the world apart from Christianity(which is not a religion in the sense of the word) and Islam have been in existence for many years but this Chasm was never filled, the hunger for something extraordinaire still persisted and still persists. Hinduism which is thought to be the oldest documented religion( I stand to be corrected here) has two epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, written down sometime between 300 B . C . and A . D . 300, which contain stories about a number of major Hindu deities and in these epics, the stories are weaved upon the themes of alienation, broken marriages, battles, evil, good and bad etc. These themes point to the big Chasm that occurred between God and humanity and Humanity within itself.

Coming back to the apostle, I submit to you that he is the only apostle of the The Church who puts the person of Jesus Christ and His ministry in perspective hence completing the missing part in the puzzle of life and that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20

THE PARABLE OF CHEETAHS & THE BUSHMEN

There could be some among us who may be discouraged and wondering why they work so hard in their lives but they never get to enjoy what they worked for. In the present world we have two categories of people: The Fence standers and the Fighters. The Fence standers are those who criticize and say what you should or should not have done. They may cheer or jeer you. Some may even hate you but the real thing is, they want to be you but they cant.

This admiration mixed with envy transforms transversely into hatred that translates into verbal jabs directed at your person. In this group some pretend to be your friends but indeed they are not since if they get you at night when you are not seeing them, they can stab you in the back. Some take your accomplishments and make them their own when you are not there. If you share with them an original thought they use elsewhere and never give you credit. They will never acknowledge you even if you gave them help.

The second group of people are the Fighters. These are the people who President Theodore Roosevelt described in this famous quote as THE MAN IN THE ARENA "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

BUT the world is so influenced by corruption, hypocrisy and sin that evil has become our DNA. We walk in the corruption of our minds and our consciences are like those of the people who the Apostle Paul described in 1 Timothy 4: 1,2 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron. That is why other people work hard so hard but when they sit down to start enjoying the fruit of their labour, the category of Fence standers and the members of the systems of this world sweep in and take all that you have worked for like the Bushmen in this Video below.

The Fence standers in the Video above are unfair because they take everything without living even what they may not need. I wish they cut the meat and left some for the Cheetahs! The Maasai of Kenya are kind because they come in, take just what they need and leave the rest for the Lions that struggled to catch the prey. My encouragement to you is, never allow people to come and take what you have fought for. If you see they are many and you can't fight for what you have achieved, Look up Pray and fast. You will see what the Lord will do for you. God will see you through.

The Plague of Ethnocentrism Suspicion & Mistrust among the Kenyan Diaspora

I believe the society we are living in and each of us who make this society are sick.We have a sickness that eats up our inner soul like gangrene. In my four months work in Mahidol University, I have been going through abstracts written by medical PhD and masters students and for a time I have started acquiring medical vocabulary and new knowledge about how our bodies function. With that in mind, I would like to dissect the Kenyan Diaspora community especially in Thailand where I have lived for 12+ years.

You may agree or disagree with me that Kenyans are very wonderful people and interesting at the same time. Our political and religious leaders have really divided us into ethnic cacoons and have made very small chinks tinted with their own coloured glass window from which we look at other societies. This poisonous division has made even Kenyans in the diaspora be very alert to their own false identity of belonging to this or that community and the words spewed by political analysts, politicians and other leaders like the labeling of members of other communities as backward, cooks,children, watchmen,thieves and etc are an outward manifestation of what has been deposited in their hearts right from home. This supposition can be seen in the events that have unfolded since independence and the gangrene has been eating up the fabric of the Kenyan society slowly. Ng’weno, (2009) was quoted to have documented the plague of ethnocentrism in his Weekly Review magazine and reported in one of the dailies that after independence, Kenya as a whole became a nation of silences, suspicions and secrets. The tenuous ideas of solidarity and nation building disintegrated. The uhuru nationalist project, was effectively taken over by the forces of tribalism and ethnic patronage. This scenario confirms an old adage that says history repeats itself and fruit doesn't fall very far away from the tree. The characteristics evidenced in the political leadership after independence is still in the present leadership and even growing stronger as the years go by.

That however does not say that there were no people who still had the vision of a united nation. From the time of independence we have had quite a few who have stood up even when all seem to have fallen victim of the ethnocentrism gangrene. In those days, we had nationalists, like Thomas Mboya, whose personal and public life had transcended beyond the preoccupations of ethnic chauvinism and parochialism, had possessed the imagination to lead the country in a new direction. (The Nation on Saturday 4th July 2009) . Mboya grew up in Juja Farm  where his father, Leonard Ndiege, worked cutting sisal.  The place where Mboya grew up in had workers from allover Kenya and even beyond.  He was a true nationalist who reviled ethnic politics and sectarianism.

I am told although I cannot confirm this, that Mboya could speak Gikuyu and Kamba languages fluently.It is said that he always opted for policies which would confer long-term benefits to the greatest number of Kenyans, and to the nation as a whole he therefore, pushed for free education at tertiary level, both Forms V and VI and at university. This was not only affordable but it also met the immediate manpower needs for the budding economy. Public investment was directed towards the productive sectors. The results were impressive. Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product grew at more than 7 per cent annually in real terms and more than 10 per cent in nominal terms. The successive governments have worked to destroy what was built by people like Tom Mboya. The political leaders of the like of Kabogo, Moses Kuria and Aladwa to mention but a few make a mockery of what was achieved by brilliant leadership of the likes of Tom Mboya.  

The hate speech we hear comes from the abundance of the speakers hearts and the apologies given are just but hypocrisy and melodrama that borders comedy.Unfortunately this melodramatic comedy is played not on stage in the theatre to entertain but in the life line of Kenya's economic, social and political development. Luke 6:45 puts it thus:The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart. So when you hear Moses Kuria, Aladwa, Mutahi Ngunyi, Kabogo and company speak, know that their mouths are spewing out what is in their hearts as deposited by system in which they grew up.

After disassembling the Kenyan society I have lived with, taught and trained while in Kenya, and live and interacted with in the Diaspora, I have observed and determined that its internal structure is wired with suspicion and mistrust and their ethnic antennas are raised so high. Their ethnic noses are like the two pronged snake tongue that can sense and smell any type of scent from a far. They can tell which ethnic community you come from in seconds. I think the..... "your name betrays you" statement rings a bell. Trust among Kenyans even in the diaspora is at its low. I have observed that when a Kenyan stands up to speak or interact with fellow Kenyans, antennas are always raised so high to detect the ethnic community one comes from and if the antenna will detect that the speaker hails from a community that does not subscribe to CORD coalition OR Jubilee- all that the speaker will say or do will be judged and weighed based on this background and not on the objectivity and value of what is said. 

        As an aid to discerning the functions and relationships of the Kenyan society in the Diaspora. I would like to liken it to the dry gangrene caused by a reduction of blood flow through the arteries. Kenyans hardly speak their minds or even what they feel honestly. I said that we are an interesting lot. In the diaspora, I have always heard people talking about "oh the office bearers must be a representative of the ethnic communities in Kenya", we must have the face of Kenya......" etc, to me all these are but other versions of ethnocentrism camouflaged in nationalistic semantics. I heard from one of my Christian friends here who echoed what Kabogo said that circumcision makes a man a better leader. Another one told me that she hates a certain community that if a leader from that community became president she would seek citizenship elsewhere. 
       Each community is competing the other and trying to maneuver and vouch for his/her community. In 1985 a policy which discriminated against people from communities that were thought to have dominated job opportunities was used to place particular people in various courses at the universities. A student who scored minimum  points to take Medicine in the University of Nairobi but was either a Luo, Luhya,Gikuyu or Kamba would not be allowed to study medicine because it was said that the communities had many medical doctors so a candidate with even less points would be admitted to take medicine instead. I had a friend who studied in St Partricks Iten and scored 16 points and wanted to take Law was rejected because there were many lawyers from his community.           When I read what Kenyans in diaspora write and says in the social media, it confirms my fears that we are a divided lot. There was a report two women who were caught stealing meat from a butcher in South Africa and people in the social media started writing that the women were from central Kenya and therefore members of TNA. This stereotyping of communities is a symptom of the ethnocentrism gangrene I am talking about. Luos would like to identify with Obama and Lupita and therefore relegate other communities non-special. Kikuyus and Kalenjins would like to associate themselves to the presidents of Kenya who have come from their communities and hence relegate other communities to non-leadership proletariat whose only possession of significant material value is their ability to work. We have to dissociate ourselves from anything that is ethnocentric. If we have to function as united Kenyans, we need to purge ourselves of the sins of suspicion, ethnocentrism,hatred and evil competition through prayer and fasting not following the false prophets who have claimed to be prophets but following the Biblical prophets like Isaiah 1:16-17 who admonishes us in these words: “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.
