| 1. Holding signs at busy intersection. (see below-under #8) |
| 2. Bumper stickers (design your own). These can be on vehicles and |
| school notebooks/trappers. |
| 3. Letters to the editor. Be sure to mention the Life Science Prize |
| Challenge (see below). Please send copies of letters any published.) |
| 4. Design your own T-shirts. Please send photos of the shirt you design. |
| 5. Politely ask teachers: Have you heard of the National EVOLUTION IS |
| A LIE Campaign? What part (just name one) of evolution is true? |
| Then depending on the individual situation the student can question |
| further or hand the teacher the Life Science Prize Challenge (see |
| below). |
| 6. Engage folks in conversation and try to leave a Life Science Prize |
| Challenge (see below) with them. |
| 7. Use Chick Tract Tip ideas and distribute the Life Science Prize |
| Challenge (see below) leaflets. |
| 8. Insert these ideas into your church bulletin. |
|
| HOLDING SIGNS |
|
| The EVOLUTION IS A LIE campaign was launched August 24, 2005 by the West Virginia Kanawha Creation Science Group in conjunction with a local Creation Conference . Two members spent an hour on each of two days at a busy intersection holding signs. |
|
| The strategy of holding signs at busy intersections is used effectively by pizza shops, politicians, pro-life groups, and many other entities. How easy is it for you to avoid reading the sign held by a vagrant standing at an intersection? Following are tried and proven suggestions. |
|
| Go as a pair for obvious reasons. A pair can also cover diagonal corners (depending upon traffic flow). Of course the more the better. Four can cover each corner and a larger group can string out in conspicuous spots. Have prayer before and after your activity. A meet or coffee together afterwards is also a good idea. |
| |
| The object is to get your sign read by as many people as possible. Choose a busy location where traffic is not moving at high speed. Pick a heavy traffic time of day. Plan where to stand that is reasonably safe. The entrance to a public school when buses arrive or leave would also be a good location. Be sure you hold the sign at an angle and level that allows motorists to easily read the sign. Also, be aware if the sun is behind |
| you because it can prevent drivers from focusing on your sign. It's not |
| always possible to avoid having your back to the sun, but you can try to |
| angle the sign so drivers can read it without being blinded. |
| |
| If possible have a two-sided sign so traffic in the other direction will |
| get an idea of why you are there. This is important if you can't cover |
| four directions thoroughly. The wording of signs should be concise. Keep |
| it "short and sweet". Think "bumper sticker". People in moving vehicles |
| do not have time to read more than just a few words. |
|
| For the first event a 2 X 3 ft. sign EVOLUTION IS A LIE using white 8 in. letters with a black background was placed at the top. Below this was a 1 X 3 ft. red on white CREATION CONFERENCE STRIP in 7 in. letters. At the bottom was a strip measuring 1 X 3 ft. with the name of the church and dates of the conference in blue on white 3 5/8 in. letters. If the bottom two strips are unneeded the Styrofoam can be cut to a smaller size. Of course larger signs can be purchased. |
|
| The original group to do this purchased professionally prepared signs from a local sign shop. In 2005 a 2 X 3 ft. sign was priced at about $23. The signs can be mounted on 1/2" Styrofoam insulation with clear packing tape or large binder clips. You may want to weather proof the sign with clear plastic. A 4 X 8 ft. sheet of Styrofoam can be cut into five 2 X 3 ft. signs. Small rope can be used to hold 2 X 3 ft. signs around an |
| individual's neck |
|
| If you are comfortable with doing it and traffic is frequently at a |
| standstill you can offer flyers to vehicles. The best way is to hold the |
| paper out and use body language to inform the individual you are offering |
| the flyer to them. Let them indicate they wish to take the flyer. Even |
| if literature is not distributed it is recommended that a supply of the |
| following flyers be kept on hand in case someone wants to argue. Just |
| politely convey that you will not argue and offer them a leaflet with the |
| following message which can be copied two to a page and cut into half |
| sheets of paper. |
|
| DO YOU BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION? |
|
| DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE? |
|
| Go for the "LIFE SCIENCE PRIZE." |
|
| There is $10,000 waiting for you to claim if you have scientific evidence. |
|
| There is a $1000 reward if you can locate an evolutionist contender. |
|
| See the rules at www.csulb.edu/~jmastrop/prize.html. |
|
| The following are miscellaneous ideas. They are included in an effort to |
| provide as much information as possible on the subject. You will have fun, |
| inspire others, and get the tension released of wanting to do something or |
| fight back against evolutionists. You will meet folks you would not have |
| met that will be an inspiration and will remain your friends. |
|
| Miscellaneous: |
|
| 1. Some of you may be very outgoing and do a lot of waving while others |
| may be more serious. Everyone should acknowledge a honk or wave by returning a nod or wave. Include a smile. |
|
| 2. Keep the high road if you hear catcalls or see obscene gestures. |
|
| 3. Have a plan in case of physical attack. We have a video camera and |
| still camera at the ready. If someone approaches one of us, at least one |
| other of us moves in close. We also have cell phones. These plans have |
| come in handy in more hostile situations such as antiabortion vigils. |
|
| 4. Those who are knowledgeable and articulate can be designated as spokesmen to the media. In reality anyone approached can speak their |
| piece if they are comfortable with it. |
|
| 5. Take bottled water. |
|
| 6. It is OK to stand and talk briefly, but you should try to space out |
| about 20' for a stronger effect. |
|
| 7. Be sure that you do not block sidewalk passage and you should have no |
| trouble from the police. It never hurts to inform local law enforcement |
| that you will be coming. |
|
| 8. Special effects such as monkey puppets or ape heads are effective |
| attention getters. It is not advisable to wear an ape mask due to legal |
| and safety factors. |
|
| 9. If you want to liven things up and you have enough participants |
| include a couple of signs that say, "HONK FOR CREATION." |
|
| STUDENTS |
|
| Students should always be respectful and get parent permission before using any of the following ideas. If you try any or these, or some of your own, please email a report to us. |
|
| 1. Ask your teacher questions when he/she starts to teach evolutionism. Start with "Do you really believe that?". You deserve a quality education so your teacher should also answer "What proof do you have that it is true?". If you think you can ask dozens of questions that will reveal that evolution is a lie. Finally ask, "May I bring in facts that show another viewpoint?". |
|
| 2. Wear T-shirts and bumper stickers that say in bold letters: EVOLUTION IS A LIE. |
|
| 3. Start a fad that mocks the lie of evolutionism. For example, one thing that could be done is singing the following song to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall". |
|
| We don't need no evolution. |
| We don't need no thought control. |
| No dumb fantasies in the classroom. |
| Teacher, leave us kids alone. |
| Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone! |
| All in all it's just another lie in the wall. |
| All in all you're just another lie in the wall. |
