De-evolution at London Zoo

Human beings are on display at the London Zoo. The sign on their cage reads, "Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment." Yes, they are in a cage and apparently wearing little clothing. So, just why did the London Zoo put three men and five women on exhibit? Polly Willis, the spokeswoman for the Zoo said, "Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals ... teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate." One of the participants, 26-year-old Tom Mahoney is quoted as saying, "A lot of people think humans are above other animals. When they see humans as animals, here, it kind of reminds us that we're not that special." Mahoney and the seven other “primates” are being treated just like the other animals complete with keepers, but they are allowed to go home at night. While attempting to emphasis the evolutionary worldview the Zoo actually (unwittingly) is left arguing for a form of de-evolution. In hoping to tie humanity back to the apes they end up, for the sake of argument, reversing the evolutionary growth of humanity. Humanity is returning to the apes. Well, I have to admit that there is some merit to their evolutionary thinking here. Sinful men and women who reject their creator and sustainer actually become so corrupted that the image of God, which they were stamped with, becomes more and more defiled. Those caged beasts are trading the truth of God for a lie. Here the sane words of Scripture: Psalm 8:4-9 What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Romans 1:20-23 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-- his eternal power and divine nature-- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. With darkened hearts, God has given them over to every form of corruption and defilement. Sinful humanity has de-evolved from the place God intended. Now we are left only a little higher than the apes.
