Worldview Wednesdays: The Great Modern Deception--Evolutionary Materialism=Observational Science

Goo-to-you evolution has insulated itself for the past two centuries by equating evolutionary materilism to observational science. Evolutionists have done this to give the facade of being 'neutral'. However, evolution from molecules-to-man is in fact a worldview because it makes fundamental assumptions about reality that cannot be tested through observation. For example, evolutionary materialism presupposes that the world contains only matter. The issue is that one would have to know all things to validate that statement. Therefore, this exposes the above position as a being worldview, so it cannot claim neutrality.

This is a critically important point because the insulation that evolutionists have used to protect their religious system from scrutiny exposed. This stings deeply, and they fight bitterly to maintain their 'hedge of protection', and this is especially guarded in the public school system. They claim that religion doesn't belong in the schools due to 'separation of church and state', but the truth is that it is impossible for neutrality to exist where education exists, for education is always founded upon certain principles that stem from a worldview no matter what that worldview is. Therefore, a religion does exist in the nation's public education system: atheistic materialistic evolutionary naturalism.

Now that more and more people are aware of this, they have become sensitive to the problems that exist within this worldview and why its positions conflict with what is observed. The only solution evolutionists have is to bend their worldview into a pretzel to make it fit what is observed. For example, no legitimate transition fossils have been found; Darwin himself saw the need to find them, and he even noted that his position would be problematic if they are not found. To account for this, the theory of punctated equilibrium (basically the hopeful monster or dinosaur laying a chicken egg) was ushered in. It states that evolution happened so fast in the distant past that it was not recorded in the fossil record. The problem with this is that we find 'displaced' fossils, or fossils remains of plants and animals that are 'too deep' in the rock strata for them to be descendents of living things after them. The best explanation for 'displaced' fossils (a convenient term used to disguise the problem) is the Genesis Flood, but the implications of this are too hard for evolutionists to handle because their worldview resists submission to the Lord.

God's Word is always vindicated, and this era is no exception. Observations being made today testify to the truth of Holy Scripture more and more, so the real fight is not with the data but with evolutionary materialism, a viruently religiously charged worldview that despsises the Lord God of the Bible.

Even so, let us confront such men who are blinded by their own sinful desires and the god of this age with grace and mercy, for were not many of us just as blind at one time? That's what makes us different. Our worldview as Christians demands love, and it can account for that demand at the same time. To Him be the glory alone! Amen!
