Evolution versus Creation

Madam – Is evolution vs. creation taking place in Newcastle?

Is it possible for evolution and creation to take place in any town or city? I read the National Geographic of November 2004 about Darwin’s Evolution Theory and on the front page the question is asked whether Darwin was wrong?

The answer to that question is that Darwin was partly right and partly wrong. That is if you look at how the local municipality operate. The local municipality is busy with evolutionism. i.e. with the road between Lennoxton and the Newcastle Mall and the link roads thereto.

Thank you Mr. Mayor and team! Link Road is indeed a job well done! In this sense it is evolution taking place in Newcastle. At the same time the municipality appears to allow a creation story to be unfold.

The gravel road at the top end of Sutherland Road was not done away with and now it appears as if this old road serves as the link road to the new dumping site? Am I right or wrong in my assumption on this matter? Darwin was unable to help.

Creation is already taking place between Hastie Road and the Newcastle Shopping Mall. Many residents discovered this very new dumping site and many loads of rubbish were dumped in this area. Only the top end of Link Road prevents them from dumping up to the shopping mall.

So, and due to the lack of the municipality to close the dirt road, we are on our way to time close to creation, or is this a new era in the making? Where are you going to place the ark and who will the new Noah be?

Don’t fear Charles Darwin, as he was replaced by Charles Glass of S.A. Breweries! We drink to your health Mr Mayor! None of these roads lead to Rome – so don’t look for Italian names for new roads in this area. Siyahlala Road should be the street name on the off road to that residential area! I claim copy rights on all these ideas!

Response from Mayor, Afzul Rehman:

These matters should be drawn to the attention of the ward cllr. As much as people do not like this response, they are and should be the first port of call, as they know the areas mentioned.
