Evolution? or Creation?
Throughout this book I come down pretty hard on the evolutionist and do my best to reinforce the doctrine of Creation as laid out in the Bible. Why? And what difference does it make? Who cares what happened so many thousands (or billions) of years ago? Can’t an evolutionist be just as good a person today as a Creationist?
No, he cannot. The belief in Creation by a transcendent and almighty God is essential for survival of mankind. No matter how moral and upright an evolutionist is, his faith is damaging to himself and those around him, and if left unchallenged and allowed to proceed to its inescapable conclusion, will be responsible for the destruction of Western Civilization and our descent into either tyranny, or anarchy and chaos.
Now that’s a pretty dogmatic statement. I better have something to back it up! And I do. The logic is really quite airtight, once you stop to think about it.
1. The theory of evolution directly conflicts with at least one part of Scripture.
2. Two directly conflicting items cannot both be true.
3. Therefore, if Scripture is true, the theory of evolution is false.
That part was pretty easy. But what about those who believe that the Bible is mostly true, but God flubbed it a bit on the science aspect, since He was talking to primitive savages who couldn’t understand the complexities of modern science?
1. The Scripture claims to be God-breathed, inspired by God’s Holy Spirit.
2. The Scripture also claims that God is all knowing, all-wise, and cannot lie.
3. Therefore, if even one Scripture passage is untrue, then God has contradicted Himself. He is thus exposed as a fraud, and none of Scripture can be trusted.
That puts that option to bed. You either must believe all of Scripture, or you cannot rely on any of it. So let’s explore the latter. Evolutionists, even ‘Christian’ evolutionists, have to throw out at least the first few chapters of the Bible as ‘fable.’
1. Assume the theory of evolution is true and the Bible contains some fables.
2. What about the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai? Maybe that’s a fable, too.
It is quite possible that Moses made it all up, just to control the people.
3. Well, heck. If Moses made it all up, why should I keep the law?
If fact, if that part is made up, then I’m sure all that frightening stuff about hell and Judgment Day are made up too, and I can live as I darn well please.
And I’m sure you see where that leads. But what does this have to do with my dogmatic statement about the evolutionist leading society down into tyranny or chaos?
1. Assume again that the theory of evolution is true. Man came from the animals.
2. Since this denies God’s Word, God, if He exists at all, must be somewhat weak, fallible, and ignorant – certainly not authoritative or worthy of our respect.
3. Therefore, though religion may be good to control the masses, I, as the pinnacle of evolution, am too smart to subject myself to some mythical, impotent god.
The implications of that thought should scare you silly! But that is exactly where this generation in America is headed. Let’s follow it to its logical conclusion.
4. So I am god, or at least as close to god as has been evolved so far.
5. Law is therefore whatever I say it is, and is evolving as mankind evolves.
6. Some races are not as evolved and must be reconditioned or forced to catch up.
7. Those who disagree with me must be locked up, sterilized, or annihilated.
And that is just the beginning. Those who truly believe in evolution must also believe in some form of totalitarian or socialist controls, since they know of no God, no absolute law, no absolute truth, no God-given rights, and no Judgment Day in the hereafter to punish evildoers and reward the righteous. At its core, evolution demands that life’s only purpose is self-propagation; it is heartless, pitiless. It is not only Godless, but also nihilistic. Thus:
1. Science is the ‘modern’ religion. Christians ought to be silenced (or worse).
2. Evil doesn’t exist, except for fundamentalist bigoted intolerant Christians.
3. Human life has no value except what we can contribute to society.
If a baby or an elderly person is unwanted or useless or a drain on our resources, kill it.
4. We’re not responsible for our actions, just victims of society or the environment.
5. Biblical morality is despised. If it feels good do it. If it’s not legal it should be.
As long as it is between consenting adults and nobody gets hurt, anything goes.
6. Education no longer exists to teach young people to think. They might think about God.
Now it exists to brainwash them to accept the current social dogma.
7. Conservatives and others with a strong work ethic and desire to care for their families are stupid. They deserve to be taxed out of their gourds to provide for those on welfare who are smart enough to game the system, and for the liberals who are smart enough to buy their votes with the Conservative’s money.
8. The government must be given enough power and control to enforce the above. We certainly can‘t let Christians have the means to defend themselves.
Wow.
Yet, is that not precisely where we are headed in America right now?
Thus the strong rise up to control the weak, and mankind descends into anarchy and chaos. It’s inevitable once evolution becomes your god. If you do not have an absolute standard for law enforced by a Higher Power, you will have a changing standard for law enforced by the those who think themselves smarter than God. The results are really quite predictable:
1. I must now pay for young mothers to legally kill their own babies.
2. Sexual perversions of all kinds are now protected by force of law.
3. Murderers, rapists, kidnapers, and other violent criminals are now defended as ‘victims of society’ or ‘sick’ and given light sentences.
4. A man’s word is no longer trusted. Everyone is expected to be a liar.
5. Theft is always wrong, unless the government does it. Then it’s OK.
6. Adultery, divorce, pre-marital sex, queer or kinky sex, pornography, child abuse, and other vices are so common as to be the norm. God’s sacred design for marriage is despised.
7. Our government must have a zillion laws, and add another few hundred a day, just to keep people in line, for the unrestrained human heart is deceitful and quick to find ways around the laws created by humans no better than them.
There is an alternative to this descent into chaos. You won’t find it in science, for modern evolutionary science is inherently schizophrenic. Science must believe in determinism, laws of cause and effect, structure and stability in the natural realm, for science is the study of all the beautiful laws and stability God wove into His Creation. But science must also believe the opposite: indeterminism, chance, spontaneous generation, and the ability of chaos to weave itself from a mythical big bang into all that we see today in total violation of all the laws of nature.
No, you won’t find it in science, not anymore. Though before Charles Darwin you could! In fact, most of the major innovations and scientific discoveries of the past were made by Christians, for true Christianity sets science free to discover, investigate, and codify the laws God wove into His Creation. The blessings of Western Civilization were really only possible because Christians began to believe and work with the Word of God. Modern so-called ‘science’ is actually a parasite, living off the bounty of the past, but like all parasites slowly eating it up and killing its host.
But there is an alternative to mankind’s devolution. Faith in the simple truths of Scripture will bring us back from the anarchy and chaos. Faith that:
1. God is infinite, eternal, all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving, just as He said.
2. God made the universe, us included, and He made it very well.
3. Sin is the cause of all the trouble and woe we see around us.
4. God has two remedies for sin: punishment in hell or the atoning blood of Jesus.
5. Either way, He will redeem us, for He created us in His image and He loves us.
6. Sensing His love, we realize that each human being has infinite value.
7. We respond to His love with love for Him, His Law, His ways, and His people.
8. We learn to hate evil, and work to pattern our lives after His image in us.
9. Thus He develops His own nature in us, His virtuous character and integrity.
10. We no longer need to be controlled by a tyrannical government, as we have now become self-controlled. We don’t harm others, for we love others as ourselves.
That, admittedly, is an ideal. We Christians aren’t perfect, either, and we do sometimes need discipline. But believe me, our Father God is faithful to do that, too! For He wants us to be like Him even more than we want it!
But I assure you, it cannot happen in America as long as acknowledgment of God is prohibited in the public square and the theory of evolution is taught as fact in our public schools. Evolutionists have become militantly defensive about their faith. They are fighting to preserve the supremacy of their religion, since they are inspired by Satan whose goal is the destruction of all that God has accomplished in our nation. This is a war – a war between good and evil, a war between God, who wants to save us, and Satan, who wants to destroy us. Which side do you choose?
