Evolution

(The desire to feel good over truth)

One can observe the
effects of entropy on everything man creates, his buildings, machines,
and even social structures. Everything eventually falls apart. Even in
the natural world there is a cycle of life where there is birth,
growth, life, death, and new birth. There never has been observed a
natural formation of increased complexity or the sudden appearance of
any advantageous biological feature. One can observe genetic
variability, but only within the information already in the genetic
code.

      One might ask why the idea of evolution is so strongly held.
Perhaps the strongest reason is that it gives permission to reject God
and see oneself as at the pinnacle of the universe. 

      Additionally, there is no
one that can call anything one does as “wrong”. It is similar to the
appeal of Libertarianism, to be free from civil authority. The freedom
thus imagined is illusionary. The illusion of the Libertarian would be
exposed quickly as without civil authority his neighbors would kill him
and take his stuff. For the evolutionist, the effects might not be so
immediate.

      Believing something that
is not true is a type of blindness. The world has all sorts of hazards
for the blind. Accepting the theory of evolution carries with it two
types of consequences. The first are consequences from God which may
not matter to an atheist, but it still might not be a bad idea to
review them. Most people have an idea that there will be some sort of
judgment after death. Obviously having rejected God at that point will
have consequences. However, the bible also describes a condition called
holding the truth in unrighteousness. Two examples are given of this.
The first is worshiping the creature more than the creator and the
other is refusing to retain even the knowledge of God. The consequences
are compulsive perversity and a reprobate mind. The details are given
in Romans chapter one.

      Judgments from God may not be of much concern to those who
do not believe there is a God. However, there are also natural
consequences that come from taking an evolutionary view of the
universe. Many after concluding that no one is running the universe,
think that they are the best ones to do so. They will always use the
power of the collective to exercise their attempts to control, which
subjugates those not contending for control.

      The idea of what is right
and wrong become defined by those seeking power. Often it is deemed
“right” for you to surrender your stuff and even your life to those in
control.

      Also, without an absolute
right and wrong, people often allow themselves pleasurable indulgences
that are self destructive. Without God there becomes little purpose in
life beyond getting what you can while you can.

      The idea that the collectivized government is the most
powerful entity in the universe comes to foster a dependence on and
even reverence for government.

      By removing a reason for existence one is left adrift. If
nothing matters but what you can get, selfishness is amplified. As
others scramble to be in control, we can be enslaved. One can see the
question of evolution is pretty basic to our lives.

      Most people are not
equipped to stand up to something like evolution. If you try to deny
it, you will face an onslaught meant to intimidate you into submission.
The pressure from those we know, those that cite “scientists”, and
other experts can be intimidating.

      Either evolution is true or it isn’t. This is the central question of this book, how can you tell what is true?

      Either the universe created itself or it was created by God.
This book will make use of Christian perspectives but not abusively so.

      Many people ask, if there is a God why does he allow
suffering and why does he allow confusion? The suffering may be for our
benefit to hinder our pursuit of self-destruction. The confusion may be
that only those that seek truth will find it.
