"An evolution-propagandizing illustrated children’s book is drawing praise from the secular
community and currently ranks as a best seller on Amazon.com.
“Annabelle & Aiden: The Story Of Life” is a 26-page children’s book that was published last month. Advertised as an “inspirational storybook” that will help kids “gain a basic understanding of evolution,” the book walks readers through the history of life according to Charles Darwin.
Featuring a “wise owl” who describes evolution to two young girls named Annabelle and Aiden, the book proselytizes evolution using rhyming text and whimsical illustrations.
“Why do we look the way that we do? With hands and feet in neat sets of two?” asks Anabelle in the book’s opening pages. “What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body from my head to my toes?”
In response to Anabelle’s questions, the owl describes the evolutionary theory of life’s origins, beginning with a lifeless blob millions of years ago.
“In a little corner, on a tiny blue dot, deep under the ocean, in a very special spot…An itty bitty thing woke up anew, and came alive. I tell you, it’s true!” the owl says.
“But to share this world, it needed a friend,” the owl continues. “So it pushed and it pushed and it managed to create a perfect copy of itself: a new friend and mate.”
In addition to the dialogue between the owl and the girls, pro-evolution statements are interspersed throughout the book.
“Every animal, every single form of life, all share a common ancestor,” one page in the book says.
“If you go back far enough, people, like most mammals, evolved from fish,” another page claims.
A few well-known evolutionists, including Bill Nye and Lawrence Krauss, have praised “Annabelle & Aiden” for its potential to convince young readers of evolution’s validity. Last week the book was recognized on Amazon.com as the #1 best seller in the children’s prehistoric books category.
The book’s author, J.R. Becker, believes evolution is an “established fact” that should be taught to children from a young age.
“I simply see myself as doing absolutely nothing more than delivering facts to children,” Becker said in a recent interview with Patheos.com. “If there’s ‘controversy’ about that, well, I try to ignore that noise.”....evolutionists are increasingly targeting young children in their campaign to spread Darwinian mantra."

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
that did seek God.
that did seek God.
Psalm 53:2
