While being interviewed by Emmanuel Romanous, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is asked about what he thinks of the theory of evolution. I remind the readers that Mar Mari Emmanuel is an Iraqi-born Assyrian Australian bishop, originally of the Ancient Assyrian Church of the East, who serves as pastor of Christ The Good Shepherd Church.
Emmanuel Romanous: ‘The way that the human mind is wired is we’re always trying to figure things out. We always question things and so we need a hard logistical answers. So, I want to touch the topic of evolution which is something that is taught at a very early age especially in western societies and pretty much all over the world at this point since like sixth to seventh to eighth grade I was learning about evolution in my school. And so, with everything we see today, dinosaur bones historical findings, caves, all these things – the way that dirt up builds over time and we’re able to tell how old the soil is and carbon dating. All these technologies and theories pop up, right, the Big Bang Theory. Is it wrong, as a Christian, to believe in evolution? Because before you answer this is the way that I process it. I refused to believe in evolution when I was a kid. I refused, absolutely, because I heard people talking about it, and so, I automatically rejected it because of the way that my parents brought me up and what was said in the churches. So, I was very close-minded. Then, with all these evidences being presented, I thought, ‘you know what, maybe, maybe, what if God, actuated the process of evolution to give our human minds, because He knew one day that we will try to figure out where we came from, how we came from, He gave us something for the non-believers to grasp to? Because what happens if you don’t believe in God – you said it earlier – you believe in something else. So some people make it government. Some people make it theory. Some people make it Mathematic, or another person or idols. Some people make it evolution. So, what is your stance on evolution? Does my theory about God actuating evolution – is that something that is possible or is that something which is completely off – I’m wrong, tell it to my face. I love to hear it.”
Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel: “First of all, evolution comes from someone who was a member of the Round Table. Without going into much details, those who know what the Round Table is and where it came from, they will see someone who was a non-believer in God, an atheist who was deliberately trying their hardest to brainwash people and take humanity away from the concept of this Divine God who is the reason for the existence of this universe and life, in general. So, that’s one.
Secondly, let’s say that everything came into existence because something exploded over 13 billion years ago. I just wonder who was present 13 billion years ago? Was it Georges Lemaître, or his uncle, or his grandpa? In the scientific field, if it’s a theory, I’m not obligated to accept it and believe in it. Therefore, don’t force it on me. It’s a theory. So, even the one who wrote it, he said I think it’s this. Well, what you think, I don’t have to accept it. So, a theory is a theory. Leave it to yourself. Don’t teach it at university levels and don’t brainwash all these beautiful young men and women, and take them away from God. How dare you, you do this? But again, the educational system is infiltrated. So is the religious sector. So is the entertainment and so on.
Now, if we assume that all this perfect and complex universe came into this because something exploded, then let me put it to you in this way, my dear friend, whoever you are. And I’ll say you’re my friend, because I mean it. If I say to you as an intellectual individual, that the Oxford dictionary came into this perfection and complexity because something exploded in the printing press, would you accept that? You’ll say that it is absurd. It’s impossible. The moment you think of the Oxford dictionary immediately you think of a brain behind it that put it together. An intelligent being, that put this dictionary together. If the Oxford dictionary did not come into existence unless there was a brain behind it, how much more this complex universe? So, you’re telling me the Oxford dictionary cannot exist without a brain but the universe existed without a Creator! That is impossible. Logically speaking it is absolutely illogic. It doesn’t make any sense.”
