The Irony of Pravda

If you were to read an article about the scientific possibility that all humanity descended from one man and one woman, specifically Adam and Eve, you'd suspect you had picked up The Fundamentalist Times. And most of the time, you would be right. Secular American science seems to have no place for God in their search for the "truth."

But such an article exists...and in a location that screams "Oxymoron!". Russia's premiere newspaper, Pravda (which, adding to the irony, means "the truth") regularly carries articles in its science section about the validity of the Bible in the scientfic realm. A Bob Jones University graduate, Babu G. Ranganathan, has somehow found an inroad onto Pravda's pages and has done a marvelous job exposing a nation that has shunned God to the reasonableness of the Bible. Finding such an article on Pravda's site would be like Oprah's magazine dealing with the details of gutting a deer.

Here's a link to "All the races come from Adam and Eve?" Please use caution. Being e-news from a secular society, there are some sidelinks to be avoided.

Perhaps Russia has passed through its long night of hostility toward Christ. Considering Vladamir Putin's posturing, it will be interesting to watch the tension between his communist passion's and his nation's thirst for living water. This at a time when secular America is doing everything in her power to rid herself of Jesus presence.
