The Secular Worldview: Part Two

"The fool says in his heart: There is no God."--Psalm 14:1

Since humanists are convinced that man is born with an inherently good nature, then they must find reasons to explain away the evil that exists in the world.

The Bible, which is backed by irrefutable historic and prophetic evidence, reveals that all human beings are born with a fallen sinful nature, (Romans 3:23) inherited from the dawn of history when the first couple--Adam and Eve--brought sin into the world by rebelling against God. (Genesis 3)

Since that time, evil has been an inseparable companion of mankind. Unfortunately, one of evil's many manifestations is pride. Pride begets spiritual blindness which in turn begets moral ignorance. And moral ignorance, combined with pride and spiritual blindness, encourages people to reject evidential truth for utopian ideologies.

Such as the science fiction of eugenics. Eugenics promotes the fantasy that the human race can be perfected through selective breeding. Since humanists reject the reality of sin and evil, they must find a reason for the trouble that permeates the world.

And many humanists believe that human beings who possess inferior genes are to blame for all the crime and violence in the world. It was Adolf Hitler, who was inspired by the teachings of Margaret Sanger--the founder of abortion provider Planned Parenthood--who believed that he could create a master human race by allowing only the finest human beings to procreate. And he believed that he had to eliminate those races from the earth that he deemed inferior and unfit.

Sanger wanted to eliminate those she deemed unfit via mass sterilization. Hitler decided that mass murder was quicker, so he embarked upon his Holocaust that murdered 10 million people, including six million Jews.

Sanger wanted to rid the world of blacks who she saw as morally and intellectually inferior. Not ironically, blacks continue to have the highest abortion rate of any race in America.

Hitler saw the Jews as the worst people on earth. He believed that they were morally debased and predisposed toward political corruption and financial chicanery. He believed that unless the Jews were removed from the earth, the world would always have trouble.

Eugenics is the logical product of godless Darwinian evolution. If Darwin's incredible theory is true, then human beings--who are the end product of random evolutionary forces--should be behaving better. Because, according to Darwin's theory of Natural Selection, those who are unfit to survive--the morally and intellectually inferior as well as those with genetic defects that cause deadly diseases and physical deformities should never have appeared. But they did, which debunks the theory of Natural Selection.

And a corollary to the naturalist worldview is that if all behavior can be explained away as being predetermined genetically, then all behavior must be considered as natural. There can be no right or wrong, good or evil under this worldview. Thus, if homosexuality must now be considered as natural and unchangeable, then so must everything else such as pedophilia, bestiality, incest, murder, greed, kleptomania etc.

Obviously, not everything can be considered normal behavior, or chaos would prevail. But since humanists will never consider the biblical parameters of moral behavior and the reality of sin, they must continue to search for reasons why human beings turn to evil.

In Part III, the rise of humanistic psychology.
