So many people today question believers with words such as... “How can you still believe in the Bible when science has proven it wrong?" "You know it's just a bunch of myths and fables for explaining the world before we had enough knowledge to see truth!" As a result... Many Christians...In the barrage of attacks and belittling...From professors, to documentaries, to personal relationships...Often begin secretly fighting doubt about their own beliefs...Feeling that maybe when an entire society seems to have taken a different direction in their worldview and beliefs... “How could they ALL be wrong? Maybe it’s me?!” So... If this has ever been you...I want you to stop and think very hard about the reality of this fear...
The Atlantic, a secular American magazine which for over a century has published articles and analysis about political science, foreign affairs, education, technology, health, science and culture...Carried an article not long ago entitled,"How America Lost It's Mind"! They paint a picture of the changes in our thinking as Americans over the past several decades... Remember, this is a secular magazine: "We have passed through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole. America has mutated into Fantasyland... Our whole social environment and each of its overlapping parts—cultural, religious, political, intellectual, psychological—have become conducive to spectacular fallacy and truthiness and make-believe. There are many slippery slopes, leading in various directions to other exciting nonsense... The first was a profound shift in thinking that swelled up in the ’60s; since then, Americans have had a new rule written into their mental operating systems: Do your own thing, find your own reality, it’s all relative... Today, each of us is freer than ever to custom-make reality, to believe whatever and pretend to be whoever we wish. Which makes all the lines between actual and fictional blur and disappear more easily. Truth in general becomes flexible, personal, subjective. And we like this new ultra-freedom, insist on it, even as we fear and loathe the ways so many of our wrongheaded fellow Americans use it." - The Atlantic, How America Lost its Mind, By Kurt Andersen, September 2017 Issue, Retrieved on March 6, 2021 from https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/how-america-lost-its-mind/534231/ We as a society have become completely infatuated with...Having our own way, doing our own thing, and answering to no one...No matter where that thought-process might take us! And... To quote this author... What is the first thing we MUST DO to have... "... a new rule written into our mental operating systems: so we can do our own thing, find our own reality, because it's all relative..." WE MUST FIRST... REMOVE ANY ALL-POWERFUL, TRUTH GIVING CREATOR... THAT MIGHT INHIBIT OUR FREEDOMS TO SIN... TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO PLAY GOD OURSELVES... AND TELL US WHAT LIFE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT! ESPECIALLY REMOVE ANYTHING WHICH WOULD DARE TO TELL US THAT SOMEBODY MIGHT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OURSELVES! So it would only make sense that we, as a culture...Push for and advance a belief system which validates that mindset! Which is exactly what we have done since this way of thinking has pervaded our society! First of all... If you are seriously worried that your faith may be wrong...Just because the majority of TODAY'S CULTURE does not agree with you... You must be blind to the subjective, self-serving wave that has become mainstream to much of society! And blind to the fact that our culture is all to ready to embrace anything which will satisfy our way of life... And leave US in control! But even MORE importantly... Step away from the trees long enough to see the forest from a bigger perspective... And understand what history... And reality... Actually say about the trustworthiness...Of believing society must be right... SIMPLY BECAUSE it is the popular and accepted Truth in YOUR culture! Look at the "shining examples" of this thought process from the past... For centuries, many believed in a "Geocentric Universe", where the Earth was the center of the universe, and everything rotated around us... If you had accepted this "Truth" because everyone else believed it...Would you have embraced "Real Truth?" In the first half of the 20th Century...Through political power, pride, fear, public education, media propaganda, and social pressure...An entire culture was led to embrace "the fact" that Germans were a master race...And that Jewish people, and others... Were not only inherently inferior... But were altogether evil and threatening to their existence...Deserving of mistreatment, expulsion…And even total extermination... If you had been one of those in this society who disagreed with this "Accepted Truth" of the mass population... Would you have been wrong, just because you were the minority? For over 200 years, the general consensus of this very country was that enslaving another human being was morally acceptable... If you had accepted this "Truth" because it was the popular belief then...Would you have accepted "Real Truth?" For almost another 100 years, the general consensus of this country...Was that black citizens were still second-rate, and did not deserve the same privileges and respect as other citizens... If you had accepted this "Truth" because it was widely held and believed...Would you have accepted "Real Truth?" Then... Please think about this...Just because the most selfish, subjective, fantasy driven culture this nation has ever known... Tells you, "You can't possibly have Truth in what YOU believe... Because you don't agree with the mainstream..." You tell me... Does that mean that you MUST be wrong?! Some may say, "Yes, but my claims against your beliefs are founded on proven facts, not just opinions..." Nowhere has a more untrue, and misguided statement been made!! Than when selling this outright LIE to the masses today...That Evolution is a proven fact of science... And that, to reject its claims, is to reject truth... Leaving you holding onto blind, unfounded faith! IF you believe that lie... It is PROOF POSITIVE that you HAVE blindly bought into the popular OPINION of our society today! Don't believe me? Listen to a well respected, secular-minded expert of science and Evolution... Robert Jastrow…Is an American astronomer and planetary physicist... Leading NASA scientist founded NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies... First chairman of NASA's Lunar Exploration Committee...A leading author in the space program, earth science and astronomy...His book on the evolution of stars made the best-seller list...A Professor at Yale University...A lecturer who has spoken on CBS and NBC...Also a self-proclaimed agnostic... This is his very revealing statement, after years of following and teaching Evolution... "There is a kind of religion in science: it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the Universe. Every event can be explained in a rational way as the product of some previous event... This religious faith of the scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover. When that happens, the scientist has lost control. If he really examined the implications, he would be traumatized. As usual when faced with trauma, the mind reacts by ignoring the implications - in science this is known as 'refusing to speculate' - or trivializing the origin of the world by calling it the Big Bang, as if the Universe were a firecracker... At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." p113-114, 116 "Now we see how the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world..." - Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers, New York and London, W. W. Norton, 1978, Retrieved on March 6, 2021 from http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Nave-html/Faithpathh/Jastrow.html "Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact." - Robert Jastrow, "A Scientist Caught Between Two Faiths: Interview With Robert Jastrow," Christianity Today, August 6, 1982, retrieved on March 7, 2021 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jastrow Psalm 19:1-4 (NKJV) 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line (message) has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world... Isaiah 45:18 (NKJV) 18 For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. Sadly, many of those who have spent their lives studying and attempting to prove Evolution…Understand this all too clearly...But the truth is too often hidden behind professional pride, and political and philosophical agendas... As half-truths, opinions, and outrights lies... Are often passed onto many, as opposing facts...Quickly gobbled down...Because they appeal to the desires of a depraved society...Enveloped in finding a way to throw God out of our lives! 2 Timothy 4:3-5 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things... I will make NO misleading statements about my intentions and beliefs...I have looked at the proofs...Scientifically, historically, contextually, prophetically, and in my own life...I DO want to know real truth wherever that leads me...And I have come to the inescapable conclusion...That I KNOW My God is the Maker and Sustainer of this world...But I am not asking you to blindly believe me either... I am asking you to drop all preconceived notions...And all dogmatic claims about a "theory" which has been sold as scientific fact to the masses...And simply see the incredible, unarguable Truth...Which modern science absolutely upholds and proves today... That there MUST be a Creator... That this incredible Universe... And the miracle of complex design all around us... MUST have been unimaginably, ingeniously crafted and knitted together with unequalled Power and Intelligence...That the Creator of this life, left His Unmistakable Fingerprints for all to clearly see... If they will accept Truth... Rather than suppress it for their own desires...The real seeker of Truth... Must... By the terrible examples in history...Do away with popular opinion...Stop accepting every view handed to you by someone in authority or popularity...See and understand evidences of "Real Truth" for yourself...And NOT just accept the beliefs you have been spoon fed! When our society chooses NOT to acknowledge their Creator...They have been given the freedom, BY HIM, to do so...And are entitled to their own OPINION... BUT... They are NOT entitled to their own FACTS... So we will endeavor to reveal just a small portion of those FACTS over the next couple of weeks... And let God's Creation speak for Itself! Relatively speaking evolution has only been around a very short time...And just as surely as half-truths, complete falsities, and guided opinions of the past... From those with ulterior motives... Or hopeful but false ideologies...Created entire societies of improper ideas and mindsets in their times...Many have done the same with Evolution TODAY...Until you and I have been wrongly led to believe that it is an established fact...And that any other view is “blind faith”…Based upon unfounded hope! And that any other view is social and career suicide... When we get past the implied "assurance" of evolution...And we dig deeply enough into the very proven laws of science...Which Evolution claims to be built upon...We will find that AS we have discovered more and more about life and this Universe... In recent years...Science NOT ONLY screams God must exist with an almost literal, "indisputable smoking gun..."But also... That their very own accepted laws of science...Actually shut down any hope of Evolution as it is being taught to us! If you think I’m getting radical... Just stay tuned! Many atheist minded scientists have been brave enough to speak out on these truths... And those who still hold onto their evolutionist mindset for their own philosophical reasons... Have to admit they do so out of FAITH...Because they have found answers which are literally against the very laws of science they say they cling to! Romans 1:18-22 (NKJV) 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, If your entire life is lived…Based mainly upon the determination of your origin...If there IS an eternity truly in the balance...And most importantly...If there IS a God right here and now...Waiting to be known, Waiting to guide us, waiting to love us...Waiting to give us purpose and worth...Who REALLY DID HUMBLY SACRIFICE HIMSELF on your behalf...Don’t we owe it to ourselves... And more importantly TO HIM...To KNOW the Truth? And not someone else’s interpretation of it? Even as Christians... We SAY we want Truth... But MOST OF US are too comfortable in the lie...To even really LOOK for it...We bathe ourselves in the overwhelming opinions...And ways of the world constantly... And leave Truth UNSEARCHED... Untouched... Unread...Then wonder why we have doubts! Wonder why so many others could be so fooled, if evolution wasn’t true. Step away from the craziness...And the frenzy of the mob...Long enough to see clearly for yourself...Stop being a puppet of modern propaganda... To an idea that is truly built upon blind, impossible faith!As it accuses those who don't agree of that exact thing! Stop filling your mind and soul with the crazy, varied, selfish, unfounded ideas of a society...Which is folding in on itself morally, and intellectually...And prove by your actions, what you claim with your mouth... That you want to know REAL TRUTH! If you believe, and desire to know more about the Heart, Mind and Will of God Himself... THEN PROVE IT! Turn off the TV, the IPad, the Smart phone, and all of your social media...Long enough to unplug and deprogram your mind from the world... And plug into what is truly important! Maybe... Just maybe...If you even came close to giving "equal airtime" to exploring the true facts of Evolution vs. Creation... Instead of others' opinions of it...And "equal airtime" to those who show the evidences in their field for what it truly, objectively says...You'd see clearly... What these evidences really prove about Creation! Should you looked at real, true, available history...Rather than biased, unfounded opinions about history... You'd see a Real Jesus with unarguable facts about His Life and Works...Maybe if you even came close to "equal airtime" With God's Word...Which by the way, hasn't had to change It's views or facts for 3000 years...And STILL has never been proven wrong...You would find unforeseeable prophecies by the hundreds...Written by intelligent, sincere witnesses... Which have all come true in One Person... Jesus Christ! All of these things... Finally giving you solid, objective TRUTHS...To base your life decision upon...NOT involving the "opinion" and "views" of the masses... And NOT driven by selfish motives or social pressures! And then... After YOU SEE for yourself… You can take the advice of one of my favorite Superheroes of all times... Captain America! “Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right... When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move.”" - Steve Rogers, Captain America
Psalm 1:1-4 (NKJV) 1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. EVERYTHING REGARDING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE...AND YOUR ETERNAL EXISTENCE AFTERWARDS...DEPENDS UPON THIS ONE CLEAR DECISION...ARE YOU GOING TO BLINDLY TRUST ALL OF THIS TO THE OPINION OF OUR CRAZY SOCIETY? OR WILL YOU HAVE THE COURAGE AND HONESTY TO SEE REAL TRUTH...NO MATTER WHERE IT TAKES YOU?HE’S WAITING FOR YOU TO FIND HIM…AND HE’S NOT HIDING!!
