Ephesians 3:9, “The mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ.” James 3:9, “Therewith bless we God, even the Father, and therewith curse we men which are made after the similitude of God.” Again, God is the One who made man in His image. Revelation 4:11, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for Thou hast created all things and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 10:6, “And swear by Him that lives forever and ever who created heaven and the things that therein are and the earth and the things that therein are, and the sea and the things that therein are.” Revelation 14:7, “Worship Him that made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters.” Romans 1:25, “Man worships and serves the creature more than the creator.” And so it goes. Hebrews 2:10, “It became Him for whom are all things and by whom are all things.” And so it goes. Over and over and over and over in the New Testament the creation account is referred to.
Now as we have been saying, evolution has been introduced really as an atheistic alternative, as a godless alternative. And evolution demands irrational faith in impotent chance. Evolution can’t happen. It is impossible. It has been proven by science that it can’t happen, as we saw, because of DNA, genetic codes information systems. Creation is rational faith in Almighty God. Evolution is irrational faith in impotent chance.
Evolution is…is really naturalism. Any sort of evolution is a form of naturalism. Naturalism believes that God exists only in the mind of non-intellectuals, only in the mind of low-level religious people. Naturalism says nature is all there is, that’s really all there is. And that is virtually the assumption that underlies all natural science. It underlies all naturalistic, humanistic philosophy. It underlies all intellectual work. It underlies all morality, or better, immorality. In other words, the underpinning of our entire culture is this idea of nature is all there is. If naturalism is true, then man created God, God didn’t create man. And belief in God is nothing more than a groundless superstition, and more importantly, since it is a superstition, we don’t have to listen to anything in the foolish Bible, certainly not the Ten Commandments, the moral laws, and so forth.
So, we aren’t interested in what religious people think. They’re a threat. They’re non-intellectuals. They’re…they’re more than a bother. They intrude on our moral freedoms. In fact, we don’t even talk about morality anymore, we just talk about rights and values, don’t we? Rights and values…and rights and values are to be decided on by every individual. People don’t do wrong because of sin. With all…in the wake of all this massacre up in Littleton, Colorado, you haven’t heard anybody talking about sin. People don’t do wrong because of sin. They do wrong because somehow they overextended their rights. Somehow they had warped values. They are psychologized rather than theologized. There is no creator, there is no moral law, there is no moral judge, there is no purpose for life, there is no reason for life except to get through it as happy as you can. There is no destiny. And there is no true theology.
Folks, I want to take you there cause that’s the most important thing. There is in a naturalist’s world, the humanist’s world, the evolutionary world no true theology. So a theologian is really a useless interruption. In fact, they would probably hope that theologians are so low on the evolutionary chain as to be unable to survive. There’s no such thing as a true theology because there’s no such thing as a true God. The issue for evolutionists is not that Genesis is not believable, it’s just a simple, straightforward account. It’s not that they want to argue about whether Genesis is true or not, I mean…that, they’ve already won that battle. And that’s why I’m going back there. Listen, they’ve already convinced most of the Christian world that Genesis isn’t true. They have successfully attacked with their relentless theories and scientific illusions and sleight of hand and misrepresentation, they have successfully attacked Genesis and got most of the evangelical Christian world to believe that Genesis is not a true account.
But that’s not really, they’re just not trying to debunk Genesis. I mean, that in itself doesn’t gain them much ground. The real issue with evolutionists is that if God created man and cares so greatly about what he does as to identify eternal consequences for his behavior, that is a serious threat to their sinful pleasures. The naturalistic evolutionist hates God and loves sin. Sometime you should read Paul Johnson’s book, the historian’s book on The Intellectuals. Read…read the biographies, it’s absolutely riveting reading. The biographies of the people who shaped western society, they were perverse to put it mildly in their own personal lives. The naturalist hates God and loves sin. The theistic evolutionist who wants to bring evolution and impose it on Genesis and kind of marry it up with God, he will say he loves God and he will say he hates sin, but he actually loves God a little and his academic reputation a lot.
Now let me tell you something, and I’m not blowing my own horn, it just so happens that it does refer to me. The governing discipline in the world, the governing discipline in the world, the governing discipline in the matter of life on this planet, the most important realm of thought, the most important arena of understanding is not science. Did you hear that? Now you would think it was. You would think it was. That’s what our whole society goes back to all the time.
