God Vs. Evolution (continued)

This is a follow up to my writing on God vs. evolution.  Our nation along with most of the modern world is in conflict with Judaism as well as conservative Christianity in regards to Origins.  There is now a more recent revival of this issue.  Debates on college campuses are drawing large crowds.  It is a conflict of ideas that simply won’t go away.  Rightly so. 

Stephen Meyer, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture wrote a book in 2013 entitled……..”Darwin’s Doubt”.  In his book, Meyer rebukes Darwin’s reigning principle: that all life forms including humans, have evolved from a common ancestor through the simple process of random, heritable variation, and natural selection. Most fossil scientists have accepted the “Cambrian” aging idea.  Dating the fossils by the rocks in which they were found.

 The theory of evolution brought death and decay before the first humans were formed.  Not from the dust of the earth but as merely random and accidental acts of an unknown source. 

Meyer’s proposed alternate theory of intelligent design seems as highly rational as that of Darwin’s theory. However, evolutionary scientists simply refuse to admit that their so called evidence is highly suspect.   These agitated Darwinists won’t hear of any theory that admits to the possibility of a Creator.  They want to tar and feather anyone who even suggests that perhaps there is a God who might not need ions of time to bring about Creation.  They ridicule those scientists who believe in biblical literalism as stated in the first chapter of Genesis.

Why such deep anger even at the very idea that there might possibly be a Creator?  Because it spoils the master narrative of the atheist intelligentsia, who see belief in God as a way that would effect humanity’s way of living and eventual salvation.  A Divine God who set moral values upon His creation would mean that humans must conform to a standard of behavior!!!

Not far behind lie  the thinking of Lenin, Mao, Hitler and others who view religion as the scourge of humanity and that  only rational secularism can advance human society to a state of harmony.  Ours is a heresy that prevents mankind from complete fulfillment in order to benefit ourselves.

 Secularists tell us that we who believe in a Creator God are stuck in our biblical literalism, ignorance, and our hostility to science.  However, human nature abhors a spiritual vacuum, which is why the neo-Darwinists have sanctified their “prophet” and why environmentalism has evolved as a new a powerful religion much of it faith based and hungry for saints of their own making.  Thus “saving the environment” is the pathway to saving us from ourselves.  Population control through abortion; actions against “global warming” and returning to primitive ways of living will somehow bring its own reward.

But that’s not an option for people of faith and those who respect the immense benefits conferred on the world by the Judeo-Christian tradition. We are to be keepers of the earth and respect its creation by the Divine Hand. But we also use the earth and its resources for the benefit of mankind.

 We have too long been silent.  Our state controlled schools also have withheld any conflicting theory to the evolutionary thesis.

Humanists and evolutionists have had their day.  It is time for us to take a stand.  We must be the defenders of the faith and to the God who created it all.
