A Clever Deception - "Big Foot."

A CLEVER DECEPTION - "BIG FOOT."

Some years ago we were teaching in Sunday School on the fallacies of evolution and the truthfulness of God's Word in the book of Genesis. At that time there was a movie in this area called "Big Foot." The movie showed scenes of a half- man, half-beast running through the woods. Only one man was supposed to have seen this creature and have taken pictures of him. Towards the end, the picture showed scenes of graves of many of these so-called beasts.

After the service a young girl asked me if there could be anything to this movie. Two nights previously I had observed the advertisement for the movie on television. It was very cleverly presented. After a few scenes of the above-mentioned beasts running through the woods, the announcer stated, "And we have a confirmation from the Smithsonian Institute."

I suggested to the young lady that she write to the Smithsonian Institute and have them confirm their statement. We received the letter from the Smithsonian Institute stating the whole claim was a hoax. Their confirmation was only to the fact that there was nothing to this "prehistoric" half-man, half-beast. The Smithsonian gave a confirmation, certainly, but only to the fact that it was a hoax. By using some tricky wording, the public was cleverly deceived into believing the Smithsonian Institute had confirmed the authenticity of the monster, "Big Foot" when just the opposite was true. Here, again, is another example of the lengths to which men will go who hate God, and lie, cheat and steal your confidence in the name of Science.

Man's heart has not changed, for Timothy was warned over 2,000 years ago about the same type of men.

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely, so called." (1 Timothy 6:20)

Sad to say, at this writing, there are still people looking for "Big Foot", "Yeti," "Sasquatch", or the "Abominable Snowmen"!

Remember, there is not one proof of evolution to be found! We hope you will be concerned enough to demand proof and not accept, blindly, the cleverly designed fables meant to deceive.
