Vietnam prisoners turned to God, not Darwin

VERBATIM

I heard the testimony of a pilot who spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp in a cell that was 6.5 feet by 7 feet.

He shared the cell with three other men.

This small space served as their bathroom, bedroom and kitchen for all of them.

They were fed twice a day, pumpkin soup and what they called sewage green soup. They were constantly hungry and were tortured on a regular basis.

One of his cellmates was a tough self-sufficient officer who had been inside a church maybe once in his life.

He came to this young pilot and started asking him questions about the Bible.

He wanted to know all about God, and all the stories in the Bible.

The men began to memorize Bible verses and tap them in code throughout the camp.

Nobody asked anything about Charles Darwin and the free thinkers.

"I will lift my eyes to the hills-
From whence cometh my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth."

Ironically, Charles Darwin is buried at Westminster Abby amongst the saints and martyrs of God.
You would have thought his family would have buried this free thinker in the Galapagos amongst the turtles and iguanas.

Maybe they knew something Charles didn't.
