I’ve been reading the brilliant Christian physicist, Hugh Ross, and pondering the questions he raises: The universe is so vast and so empty. How do we continue to believe that earth and its inhabitants are special in God’s eyes? What do we make of a “New Heaven” and “New Earth” in a cosmos where heat death and entropy seem likely to claim all matter and energy? How should we think of Adam and Eve before the Fall, in a world full of predators and parasites? Does the Resurrection have anything to say about all of this?
Meanwhile we live in a world that claims Charles Darwin’s theory resolved all such questions, so we are forbidden to ask them ever again.
Richard Dawkins summed up Darwin’s worldview with scathing clarity: “The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.” That’s the core of Darwinism for you, right there.
My colleague Tom Gilson wrote a fine rebuke of Christianity Today ’s recent call for Christians to rally behind Darwinism , lest we look silly in the eyes of people who hate us. As I learned from reading the 1,000 page collection Theistic Evolution, there is no way to reconcile any kind of traditional Christian faith with Darwinism’s key tenet: that all life is the result of physical and chemical accidents, which show no genuine evidence of any plan or purpose. A Dead, Pitiless Mechanism
Dawkins has Darwinism down, though. Everything else in evolutionary theory is a footnote, unpacking “pitiless indifference.” Defending it, enforcing it, then searching out any spark that seems to point to Design, and stomping it out. Those who claim to adhere to theistic evolution , if they are serious about […]
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
