Imagine No God

"Imagine there's no heaven...It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky. Imagine all the people, living for today..."--John Lennon

Yes, imagine that there's no God, no rules, no moral accountability for one's thoughts, actions or words.

And imagine, as John Lennon once mused, a world that would live as one, free of the suffocating constraints of religious mores and dictates.

Actually, you don't have to imagine that. Much of the world began practicing Lennon's values-free system many years before the late pop-artist penned those lyrics to his famous song Imagine in 1970.

Much of the world began imagining no heaven or God shortly after Charles Darwin penned his famous theory of evolution in a book titled, On the Origin of Species that was first published in 1859.

In his dubious book, Darwin offered the radical claim that all physical life had no creator, but merely was the chance product of millions of years of random evolutionary forces.

Even in the 19th century, long before the advent of microbiology, Darwin's colleagues criticized his unsubstantiated theory as nonsense. Shortly after Darwin published his theory, a Harvard University geology professor named Louis Agassiz called evolution "a scientific mistake, untrue in its facts, unscientific in its method and mischievous in its tendency."

Michael Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, has declared the theory of evolution scientifically impossible. Here's what he said: "A single flaw in the cell's labyrinthine protein-transport pathway is fatal. Unless the entire system were immediately in place, our ancestors would have died. Attempts at gradual evolution of the protein-transport system are a recipe for extinction. At some point this complex machine had to come into existence, and it could not have done so in step-by-step fashion as Darwinian evolution would have it." (Darwin's Black Box, pp.114-115)

What does evolution have to do with the spread of moral depravity across the world? If there is no God, then there's no divine judgment at death and no one can be held morally accountable for their behavior during their lifetime.

Thus, those who committed evil atrocities during their lifetimes such as Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin fair no worse in death than those who were considered virtuous such as Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa.

If there is no God, then all human behavior--even the worst forms of it--must be considered natural. Under a godless worldview, even pedophiles, rapists, murders etc. have every right to claim that their behavior is natural. Without God, there are no rules and "all a man's ways seem right to him..." (Proverbs 21:2)

Yes, imagine that there's no God. And imagine the consequences.
