I was captured by the today's article appeared on CMI:
An atheist rubs shoulders with creationists
Review of Among the Creationists: Dispatches from the Anti-Evolutionist Front Line, Jason Rosenhouse
Oxford University Press, New York, 2012
by John Woodmorappe
https://creation.com/among-the-creationists
I decided to send a comment to the article, but the text was too much long, being the comments limited in their size. I chose an excerpt and posted it hoping to see it published. Here I post the entire comment, followed by an appendix about the inventor of the MRI, dr Raymond Damadian, as being involved in the reasonment of my comment (I added pictures and their caption for the publishing on this blog).
-------------------------------------
Quote: "In common with many
atheistic authors that I have recently read, Rosenhouse brings up the
Scandinavian nations as models.". Comment: Truly speaking,
Scandinavia and Sweden are the model on HOW God deals with the
apostate nations today. I tell you an anecdote (but true story) for
this occasion.
I remember,
four or five years ago, to have sighted the presence of Noble prize
(in Literature) theatrical actor and director Dario Fo (check for
yourself Wikipedia on him), guest of the evening talk show "What
will the weather be like?" (Che tempo farà?) of the
third public channel broadcast television RAI (Italian public
television). I don't remember the precise object of the talk, I just
witnessed some minutes meanwhile I was busy in to do other thing. At
a certain point the Nobel Prize, famous for his staunch radical left
wing wiev of the life and world, exhibited a Red Book, yes, the
"bible" (God, forgive me) of the infamous Chinese Red
Guards! I don't remember the exact words, but the Nobel prize weawed
it in the air in a very apologetic tone. Ok, we all know the
Darwinist background of Marxism and even of the leader of the Chinese
revolution, Maozedong. We also know well how Maozedong, thanks to the
moral gate of Hell opened by the Evolutionist/Darwinist phylosophy,
sent do death at least fifty millions of "useless" Chinese
peasants.
Today Dario Fo works are very much appreciated by the today's cultural Red Guards, that intellectual layer that see every day less space in a Chinese society farther away from the Communist tenets. The works of Dario Fo are at the center of a theatrical programming having the goal to criticize the authority as "apostatizing" from the old "good" Communist past. Clearly, such "dissidents" are part of the game used by the central Communist power in an effort to fight the spread of the Gospel in the society, using Marxism and Evolutionism in a theatrical sauce [see for example the article: [https://www.agi.it/cultura/dario_fo_ispiratore_in_cina_insegn_a_beffarsi_della_censura-1161263/news/2016-10-13/]

One
interesting detail is the support that Dario Fo obtained from the
Jesuits when in 1969 he had to overcome the Vatican censorship of the
Italian public broadcast television RAI where his anti-Biblical
Maoist inspired work "Mistero Buffo" had to be represented.
The Jesuit priests checking his theatrical work were, allegedly,
knocked down, together with the rest of audience, by the laughters.
From the review of the newpaper Il Corriere della Sera of 04 August
2003 (you can read it from the archives of the Il Corriere della
Sera):
"... ..with the official Church that launched anathemas and asked to block the airing and the Jesuits who applauded." The film was shown to them in a private vision and, according to the stories of those in the projection booth, uncontrollable, almost uneven laughter was heard all the time. And in the end there were those who asked: please, can we see him again? "...".
In
the last years of his life, Nobel prize for Literature Dario Fò was
seriously engaged in to spread openly Darwinist phylosophy in the
society. His last book is entitled “Darwin: But are we monkeys from
a father or a mother?”. From the preface is seen how the author's
ignorance is elevated as personal “crown of glory”: "I
wanted to tell the story of the discoveries that the greatest
scientist has assured to the whole world. Because? Because we are
ignorant, in too many we do not know where we come from and why

Aren't blowing in your ears
the tens of verses of OT about such abominations?
Well, Dario Fò obtained the
Nobel prize in 1997, by the Swedish Academy, the same one that
slapped in the face of a certain doc Raymond Damadian. Coincidence.
Coming back to our
Sweden, we see that the affirmation of doc Jason Rosenhouse: “As an
example, he cites the Scandinavian nations, where many people profess
to be Christians and get baptized, but very few actually believe it”,
are absolutely NOT absent from the awareness of God as given us in
His word, the Bible: “How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of
the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the
scribes is in vain.” - Jeremiah 6:8. But it is the following verse
to be more intriguing and to show how God still deals with the
nations today cause their apostasy, being the OT absolutely not
limited by historical Israel, but a picture for the remaining gentile
nations in every age: “9 The wise men are ashamed, they are
dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and
what wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore will I give their wives unto
others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every
one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness,
from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.” -
Jeremiah 6:9-10. These last verses are perfectly confirmed in the
nowadays Sweden and the “Islamic invasion” of that country is a
fulfillment of God's words – see for example the following two
recent articles:

Take my comment, of course, also as a form of personal psychological outburst. I am living in Italy where the denigration, isolation, intimidation and scorn of the Bible-believers is a social costume I every day experiment in my social life outside the wall of my home. From the Evolutionary “Christianity” of the mainstream Christian denominations, many 'evangelical' ones too, to the self-acclaimed atheist materialist front, I assure you that in many aspects the life of a Bible believer in the country of the Pope of Rome is a life in the first-line trench of WWI.
[End of the whole comment I wrote for the CMI article.]
----------------------
If you need, you can add also an...: "14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. Jeremiah, 5:14-15. Here the Lord recall to the ones who mock Him making appear His word void and senseless, that He will return the 'honor' with an equal treatment. Most of Swedish people now are searching a deity who could save them from an invading nation whose "......quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men" (Jeremiah 5:16), but if they don't search it in the word of God, and put it in their heart, hardly the 'deity', aka The Lord, will answer to them: "And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods." Deuteronomy, 30:18.
What for a fulfillment of the words of God! Even in this they are fulfilled! Quoting Woodmorappe's article:
"They [Swedish] are the ones where religion is minimal, and yet the people are prosperous, content, and largely free of crime and other obvious maladies. This, to him and other atheists, proves, at very least, that belief in God is not necessary for happiness, public order, and morality.".John Woodmorappe, the author of the article, is wrong. Because this proves not only to atheists, but as well to all the ignorant of the word of God (who can be atheist, Catholic, Lutheran, even quite apostate Baptist) that God is "unnecessary" to make fit the picture. Meanwhile, at the opposite, just the "prosperous, content, and largely free of crime and other obvious maladies" nation of Sweden perfectly fulfill the word of God and shows to all the world that He is the true living God! For example: "12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;", Deuternomy 8:12-14. You know well now what is in store for those guys who, after they had a plenty of wealth country, turned their back to God. But do you think, Gentile reader, that such verses don't refer to you? If they don't refer to you as you are "not of the circumcision", God would have not put them in the Bible for the uncircumcised! But God's will is to give the utter importance to the history of Israel, because that "land of Egypt" is the picture of the carnal, fleshy world of the Gentiles; the "house of bondage" is a picture of the slavery to the sin where the Gentile nations are sinking. Jesus the same warned the Gentiles to feed themselves with every single word from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 are not casually with the same numeration. Do you think that Jesus was not referring to the OT in a time when no one had the least idea that in the next 100 years the old Jewish holy Scripture would have been completed by new Ones, known as New Testament??!
Nations which turn the back to God to worship the earthly gods of their nationalism and of their ethnic pride are soon or later sentenced by God. Be sure of that as much as you are sure of your death. If this detail escaped the blade of your mind, I want now to remind it to you. Look at the difference on how God deals with apostate and Evolutionary Sweden, and at the same time with the USA where a remnant of the church of God still is alive. USA with a Biblical Creationism still alive & kicking, and with still a minority of Bible believers who worship the word of God as preserved by Him in the King James Bible 1611 Version, is absolutely not a Sweden whose "science" academy awards liars and scorners of the word of God, as our Italian 'hero' Dario Fò, and at the same time tries to destroy the image of the God-fearing scientists (dr Raymond Damadian) God uses in order to bring among men good technical inventions to fight the pain of the life in a world plagued by the sin. Also in this you find the presence of the hand of God, on how He deals with the nations today.
Well, now we can unveil the reason I put that video where dr Raymond Damadian. The inventor of the MRI, openly confess the Lord Jesus as Creator of the whole world (universe) six thousand years ago, in six days of literal twenty four hours each. The science academy of Sweden notwithstanding the patents for the MRI are legally owned by dr Damadian in the USA, awarded as "inventor of MRI" two lesser figures who brought only some improvements on a technical device already invented by dr Damadian. The science academy of Sweden exposes itself as being only a gear of the Devil's war on the world of God, promoting, with the right hand, the worst Evolutionary effects of the Darwinist philosophy in the Marxist-Maoist ideology of Dario Fò, and at the same time suppressing with the left hand the truth. Don't fear, nothing is secret in this world that will not be revealed. God sees, judges and sentences:
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah, 5:8-9

The atheist mocking of the word of God, by a nation in love with the blasphemies of an atheist like Dario Fò, or the mocking of God by the church-state religions who pretend to use the word of God to justify their heresies and abominations, not only Evolutionism, but also Textual Criticism and secular Biblical chronology, all this abominations welcomed by the mainstream 'Christian' denomination, will not pass unseen by God. They say with irriverence to God "we have not mocked Him professing ourselves Evolutionists!", "we have not mocked Him changing His words!". God therefore will not answer to them directly, as they don't want to ear, but will deliver to them His answer, through a "mighty nation" whose "quiver is an open sepulchre", Islam:
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.(all Bible quoted verses are from the King James Bible 1611 AV)
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Jeremiah, 5:11-13

"DR.RAYMOND DAMADIAN ABOUT THE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED 'NOBEL PRIZE' (INVENTOR OF M.R.I.)":
Above video - "DR.RAYMOND DAMADIAN ABOUT THE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED 'NOBEL PRIZE' (INVENTOR OF M.R.I.)".
URL: https://youtu.be/7yaMT1FXOw8
Dr Damadian, quoted from an article appeared in Answers in Genesis:
".....Hall of fame
Dr. Damadian’s invention has earned him several top awards, including the United States’ National Medal of Technology, the Lincoln-Edison Medal, and induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame alongside Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright brothers.
A Bible-believing Christian, this great inventor is convinced of the scientific truth of Genesis creation and its foundational importance to church and society.
Despite his fame, however, life has had its difficulties for this revolutionizer of medicine.
First, there were the years of hard work against much opposition and many doubters. His interest in the idea of MRI began when he was a young professor engaged in active scientific research at the State University of New York. Skeptics sarcastically informed him that to use the then-young technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (see box) in a medical imaging machine would mean rotating the patient at 10,000 revolutions per minute!
He said that ‘theoretical physicists claimed to have done calculations demonstrating that my idea was beyond what the theory of physics would allow.’ This worried and confounded would-be financial backers, but Dr. Damadian took it as a challenge for himself as an ‘experimentalist’ to ‘do something the theorists say can‘t be done.’
Finally, he was granted a US patent for a functioning MRI machine. Today, MRI is a world-famous, multi-billion-dollar technology with more than 4,000 of these complex machines installed around the world. Dr. Damadian told Creation magazine of how his company, formed to exploit the legal patent with great potential benefits to many Americans, experienced something extraordinary. Several huge overseas and multinational firms began manufacturing MRI scanners in spite of his patent. Dr. Damadian‘s small company was forced to go to court—a jury trial in 1982 found the patent to be valid and in-fringed. He had won!
The happiness, however, was short-lived. For some reason the judge, six weeks after the trial, ‘voided the jury’s verdict and substituted his own.’ Dr. Damadian had lost. He says that after his company had spent $2.2 million in legal fees he learned the difficulties of a ‘little fellow’ inventing a BIG product. Undaunted, his small company nevertheless carved a niche in the marketplace. However, the really huge rewards are going overseas, to companies which were not involved in the invention at all.

Symptom of Sickness
Dr. Damadian points out that this apparent injustice (shared by the inventors of such things as the laser, tetracycline, the Early Stall Warning device and many more) was even more economically damaging to the US than to himself. In reality, he says, it is just ‘a symptom of a more widespread disease afflicting our society’. He believes that America is ailing spiritually. Influenced more and more by an evolution-based humanistic education system, America is adrift of its spiritual moorings."
America is still in part aware of the wrath of God. This is why, at the moment, USA is still the greatest powerful nation in the world, despite acclamation about "the new emerging tiger of the world, China". Together with Israel they share still a bless from God. It is up to their people to decide to continue to follow God's warning or to fall in the bottomless pit where the nation of the 'civilized' Eurasia are falling.
