Darwinism's Seductive Appeal

When we look at the astonishing collapse of civility and morality in the western world, we can trace the roots of the decay of western civilization to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution that was first published in 1859.

What does the theory of evolution have to do with the explosion of moral depravity and violence throughout the western world?

It has to do with this: If there is no God then the Ten Commandments and the Bible are nothing but human constructs that were written by primitive men in the ancient times. In other words, without God, no one is held accountable for their thoughts, actions and words during their lifetime on earth.

Without God, death becomes the ultimate escape from punishment for crimes and transgressions committed during one's lifetime. Without God, even the worst human beings such as Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong fair no worse in death than those deemed righteous such as Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa.

That's why evolution has such a broad appeal to fallen, sinful human beings. Because it offers them the hope of escape from God's judgment and subsequent eternal damnation in hell for their sins that God's infinite justice demands.

From a purely scientific standpoint, Darwin's theory can't be taken seriously. It was the famous scientist Albert Einstein who dismissed evolution as fraudulent because he claimed that Darwin's theory violated both laws of thermodynamics.

Einstein reasoned that in order for evolution to be true, then the universe must have always existed. He explained that since the universe was cooling down, then it had a beginning.

Furthermore, he explained that if the galaxies, stars, solar systems and planets originated from a giant explosion; i.e. the Big Bang, then all organic matter essential for life would've been sterilized (destroyed) from the intense heat making evolution impossible.

And furthermore, if Natural Selection (Survival of the Fittest) is true, then Darwin's theory collapses under the weight of its own argument. In order for a single living cell to function, all the necessary genetic components must be in place or the cell will die. It's scientifically impossible for a cell to have evolved over millions of years. Natural Selection would destroy it before it could ever function.

Approximately 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ explained why fallen human beings are attracted to deceptions and delusions, because they promise cover from accountability to God. Christ said this: "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." (John 3:19-21)

Jesus Christ is the lamp and the light is His Gospel. And His light exists not to condemn sinners, but rather to lead them to the cross where their sins can be washed away by Christ's shed blood.

Tragically, there are millions of folks who would rather dwell in the darkness of delusion than come into the true light of Jesus Christ. And how great is the darkness of Darwin's bogus theory.
