Evolution and Tyranny

Three proponents of evolution

Of all the scriptures recorded in the Bible, perhaps the most pertinent one that explains why evil prevails is this one: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." (Proverbs 1:7)

Thus, those who don't fear God are often willfully ignorant of his laws and commandments. As such, they're contemptuous of law and order, decency, and respect for human life. Most folks who fall into that category are atheists who, for whatever reasons, hate God and refuse to acknowledge His existence.

That was a point that King David made about 3,000 years ago when he wrote this: "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." (Psalm 14:1)

Atheism has been a human malady since the beginning of time despite the proliferation of evidence that proves God's existence. Even during the time of the apostle Paul 2,000 years ago, there was more than enough evidence for God, a point that Paul made: "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." (Romans 1:18-20)

Atheists claim that there's no evidence to prove that God exists. That's nonsense. The genome of all living creatures great and small proves God's existence. Each cell of every creature contains a vast and complex amount of information known as DNA that shows intelligent design and order. To suggest that such information came from an unintelligent chemical process and arranged itself without any design is preposterous. Indeed, only fools believe that.  

And there are a lot of fools who want to believe in evolution. Why? It's not because of a lack of evidence for God. Rather, it's because fools despise authority and moral accountability, and they don't want to live under someone else's rules. That's why Charles Darwin became the messiah of humanists when he published On the Origin of Species in 1859. Darwin's pseudo-scientific manifesto attempted to explain the existence of life in purely naturalistic terms apart from God. 

Though Darwin's work was amateurish and mostly theory, it eventually caught on with people who were looking for a way to assuage their consciences and escape divine accountability for their evil behavior. Evolution has been taught as "settled science" in schools and universities throughout the world for many decades. Even many Christians believe in evolution, not realizing that Darwin's theory completely contradicts the Bible's account of God's creation of the physical universe and life in six literal days.

Though the proponents of Darwin's theory vehemently deny it, evolution provided the intellectual inspiration for three of the 20th century's worst mass murderers. Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong were atheists who embraced evolution's theory of Natural Selection. 

Natural Selection teaches that only the fittest survive, and Hitler, Stalin and Zedong believed that they could create a paradise on earth by ridding the world of "undesirables." One of Hitler's greatest influences was Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood who advocated sterilizing and eliminating "mutant strains" of human beings that included blacks and Jews. 

Darwin's terrible theory not only gave rise to mass-murdering totalitarian regimes, it undermined moral and civil authority, and led to the debauched and depraved culture that's plagued western civilization for over 60 years. The collapse of the nuclear family; the breakdown in civility; the rise in crime, violence, drug, gambling and alcohol addictions etc. is directly linked to evolution's destructive influence on society.

How so? Because if God doesn't exist, then His laws and commandments are nothing but human constructs that can be ignored, changed or eliminated altogether. If God doesn't exist, then no one is morally accountable for their actions in this life and no judgment awaits them at death. Thus, mass murderers such as Hitler, Stalin, Zedong etc. fare no worse in death than Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. 

Commenting on Darwin's theory, eminent scientist and microbiologist Michael Behe said this: The cumulative evidence shows with piercing clarity that life is based on machines--machines made of molecules which are enormously complex. The complexity of life's foundation has paralyzed science's attempt to account for it. Faced with such complexity beneath even simple phenomena, Darwinian theory falls silent. (Michael Behe, Darwin's Black Box, pp. 4-5)

Indeed. Unfortunately, despite the lack of evidence for evolution, many will continue to embrace the delusion that life originated in a primordial mud-pond millions of years ago. They're entitled to believe that if they want to. But they'll eventually find out otherwise. Unfortunately, when they do, it'll be too late for them to escape their eternal fate.
