“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…” Genesis 1:1. The secular community rejects this postulate. The church accepts this postulate by faith but fails to embrace the science that lends evidence to what we believe. Both errors have contributed to the dumbing down of the society at large, which in turn contributes to much of the strife we are currently experiencing worldwide.
Take for instance the concept of Irreducible Complexity, simply termed “The Watchmaker’s Analogy”. The concept is not new and it is not exclusively Christian. Simply stated; If one found a complex mechanism in a field, one could safely assume that it did not simply grow out of the ground, but rather was created purposefully by an intelligent designer.
To refute so simple a concept, evolutionists have substituted the elements of time (endless) and chance for a Creator. The theory of evolution, with its unprovable postulate, that everything evolved from nothing and it’s lack of evidence that any living thing is evolving, actually promotes racism through its core belief in the concept of ‘Survival of the Fittest’.
The church, in failing to embrace the simple logic of concepts like Irreducible Complexity, end up thumping their bibles and rejecting science ‘in toto’. Thus the intellectual and faith communities unwittingly promote societal regression, with each group blaming the other for the problem..
In the vein of “The Age of Enlightenment” the faith community can correct this problem by embracing science as a pointer to the Majesty of God.
I would like to hear more of your thoughts on your mention of "The theory of evolution... actually promotes racism through its core belief in the concept of ‘Survival of the Fittest’".
