EVOLUTION OF XMAS

Jolly Old St Darwin

“The Theory of Evolution postulates all living creatures, including man, are solely and only physical beings. The theory ignores ALL evidence of spiritual activity in living creatures. In the absence of the spirit, flesh will do nothing except lay there, be dead, decay, smell bad and eventually turn to dust. Brains will not think and hearts will not feel love…”.

“The celebration of Christmas, held during the Winter Solstice to commemorate the birthday of Jesus was adapted from a variety of pagan cults. The celebration of the Roman holiday season of “Saturnalia”, for the god Saturn, was adapted to become Christmas in 336 AD. Saturnalia was a festival during which Roman slaves were given control of the household for one day each year. The festival was held between December 17th and 23rd during which families feasted together, slaves were given time off and presents were exchanged.”
