I meet a stranger on the street. I tell him that Jesus Christ died for his sins and how he might have eternal life with Him in heaven. The man looks at me and wants me to tell him more. Then he prays that he is a sinner and wants Christ in his life. A new creature has been born.
Jesus Christ calls Lazarus out of the tomb. He is warned that he has been in the tomb for a while and is starting to smell. Lazarus comes forth, alive.
Now enter science. Today, unlike yesterday, it is totally cut off from God. When a monk named Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritence, he was guided by a love for God. He did not fear his discovery or hide it. When the inventor of the telegraph, Samuel Morse, sent his first message, it was “What hath God wrought?”
Now, scientists like Sam Harris decry “the alien hiss” of religion being talked about among scientists. He compares them to pod people who look like scientists, and act like scientists but can you believe it? Some of them actually listen to what the Pope has to say? They can’t be ‘real’ scientists.
And now science, completely isolated from everything, brings forth an interpretation of some evidence and proclaims, Well, if this is true, and we could be wrong, than that part in the Bible where the earth gets created in 6 twenty four hour days must be wrong. And it becomes dogma among the people, some of whom wildly embrace the idea and strive to get Christians to believe it. “It didn’t happen in 6 twenty four hour days. Believe it. Believe it or we’ll reject your invisible God and the miracles of the Bible because we’ve decided the Theory of Evolution is a fact. And if you don’t believe in it, you are ignorant, willfully ignorant, misguided, a cretard, an IDiot, a fundamentalist, anti-science, don’t understand it/lack knowledge, etc.”
For some, evolution is non-negotiable. Believe it or we won’t believe in your God. But it’s not just the basic Theory of Evolution that you would be accepting, it would be all the explicit statements:
Due to a long time period and genetic mutations, you came to be human.
You are an animal.
Your primary function is to reproduce and pass along your genes.
You are a bag of chemicals with no actual identity. Just a carrier of genetic material.
This all happened naturally, i.e. with no supernatural interference. But if it will make you feel better, you can tack God onto it, even though such a being is unprovable.
And that’s the next step. Once you’ve made the “rational” decision to accept evolution, you’ll be asked to make one more “rational” decision. “That God you believe in? How do you know He exists? There’s no evidence for Him. So, c’mon. You’re a rational person. You see how rational the evidence for evolution is, so why don’t you forget all this nonsense about some God?”
And then you will be led down the garden path to some human created philosophy that will be designed to exploit you, your time and talents.
Wake up my brothers and sisters in Christ. What miracles that God performed in the Bible do we not believe? Who is insisting that we accept their interpretation of Genesis? Why is it so important to them? Can you spread the Gospel of an “invisible” God with evolution? No. The Bible states that the invisible things of creation are plainly seen and known by all things that were created. If some say we are deluding ourselves because of the interpretation of some ‘evidence’ then what do they think about our belief in an ‘invisible’ God? Will they hold that up as a “rational” decision? The answer is no.
My brothers and sisters. In their great conceit, men are proclaiming having reached some pinnacle of knowledge. That their wisdom overshadows divinely revealed truth. I say no.
You and I were made by God. And with God all things are possible. I believe God formed the earth, not over a long period, but in a short time, ready to live on. He formed Adam and then Eve. He interacted with His people and then sent His son to die for us. Why did He send his Son? Ask yourself.
All scripture is inspired by God who was there. The Alpha and the Omega.
And to any non-believers reading this: nothing I’ve written prevented any scientists from going to work today or stopped any research.
God bless,
Ed
