Henry M. Morris … A Flip-Flopper

“The race question is certainly one of the most important and explosive issues of our time, and the same is true for the issue of nationalism vs. internationalism. The existence of distinctive races and nations and languages is obviously a fact of modern life, in spite of the efforts of many modern sociologists and politicians to remove the racial and national barriers. The problems created by these issues seem almost insurmountable. The true origin of the world’s various races and nations and the events associated therewith must be clearly understood and placed in right perspective before there is any possibility that the problems arising out of them can be comprehended and solved.

In the world today there seem to be several major races (three to six depending upon the classification) perhaps 100 or more nations of significance and over 3000 tribal languages and dialects…. The origin of races is still a mystery to most scientists, determined as they are to explain man and his culture in terms of an evolutionary framework. There are numerous contradictory theories on these matters among anthropologists and ethnologists, but the only fully reliable record of the origin of races, nations, and languages is found here in Genesis 9-11.”

I guarantee you when Henry M. Morris wrote these words in 1977 Doug Wilson would have never said the jejune statement… “There is no such thing as race.” David Van Drunen would have never said “race is a social construct.” )(Wilson and Van Drunen are examples of where Federal Vision and R2K can find common ground.)

The reason I’m so ticked with these mugs is that they are licking their finger and sticking it in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing and then altering their convictions.

Unfortunately, Henry M. Morris did the finger licking wind-measuring thing also as in 1993 he changed his tune writing after getting his mind right per the even then percolating WOKE world;

“But what about the origin of races? One searches the Bible in vain for this information, for neither the word nor the concept of “race” appears in the Bible at all! There is no such thing as a race—except the human race! Skin color and other supposed racial characteristics are mere re-combinations of innate genetic factors, originally created in Adam and Eve to permit development of different family characteristics as the human race was commanded to multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:28; 9:1).

“Race” is strictly an evolutionary concept, used by Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, and the other 19th-century evolutionists to rationalize their white racism. But from the beginning, it was not so! “God that made the world and all things therein; . . . hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth” (Acts 17:24,26). “Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?” (Malachi 3:10).
