BY RON BARTANEN ─ Atheism’s faith or creed is that there is no God, hence no creation. The cornerstone of that creed is evolution, the only possible (though implausible) explanation for the existence of all things.
This cultic dogma is repeatedly drilled into the minds of youth in our tax-supported schools. Was it overwhelming scientific evidence that forced some to accept such a dogma? Not at all.
Let Sir Julian Huxley, late president of UNESCO and grandson of Darwin’s colleague, Thomas Huxley, explained the real reason: “I suppose the reason we leaped at the origin of species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.”
Nobel Prize winner and professor emeritus of biology Dr. George Wild, is quoted in Scientific American: “I do not want to believe in God. I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”
This is why the debate over “Intelligent Design” is so heated in scientific circles. While evidence for creation mounts, and the impossibility of an orderly creation without a Creator becomes ever more apparent, some insist on still clinging to the hope that there is no Creator to whom they must give answer in eternity. As loyal cultists, they must defend their cult’s creed.
I believe this no-Creator creed of atheism is the foundation stone for the increasing disregard of Bible truth within our society today. If we, as humans, are simply the end result of millions upon millions of years of mindless evolution, life has little purpose.
Our one rule of life, then, becomes, Let us “eat, drink and be merry,” with no thought of eternal consequences. Every person is left to be his own moral compass, unbound by any “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not” of Scripture.
Schooled early in life to adhere to this simple creed, it becomes an easy step into sexual immorality, the killing of unwanted babies in the womb, thievery, drugs, transgenderism, and anything else that satisfies our appetites. Is it unimaginable that the transition from “peaceful demonstrations” to rioting, looting, arson, and even murder becomes the new norm? Indoctrinated by the Prince of Darkness, the goal is to create for ourselves a utopia of self-gratification that would be totally godless.
Any surviving religion or faith would be required to assimilate to the new standards. It is conceivable that verbal opposition to such standards would be considered “hate speech,” and the offender would be subject to penalty. After all, Biblical standards would no longer prevail, while humanistic, politically correct standards would be the obligation of all.
Am I exaggerating on this? Hear the apostle Paul:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim. 4:3).
