AVOID THESE DEEP AND DANGEROUS LIES
This post will touch lightly on several deep and dangerous lies. It won’t go into depth on any of them. The culture works hard to convince us of these lies. What’s the root, the mother of all lies? The root of the problem is the idea that the human mind can make up stuff and the made-up stuff is true. Of course, the intellectuals would never say it like that. It’s too obviously silly. They say they depend of evidence, logic, and reason. However, all rational thought must be based on truth. What do they say when you ask them where they get truth? Keep in mind that the human mind can’t reason to truth. And there is no way to understand evidence, observations, experiments, or experiences without truth. So, what do they say? They say, “Some truths are self-evident.” They say, “humans have truth their minds just know without needing to experience, observe, or receive divine revelation.” How silly, but it sounds almost right when they confidently proclaim it. They are saying, “We, the intellectual elite, all agree on certain ‘truths,’ and you lesser person, should just believe us because of our superior minds.” They use the word “axiom” because it sounds better than “made-up stuff.”
Axiom: A self-evident principle or one that is accepted as true without proof as the basis for argument; a postulate.
This is the lie of axioms. (more detail below) From the lie of axioms comes the lie of materialism, which claims only the material world exists. It is a form of atheism–no God, spirits, heaven, or hell. Building on materialism is the lie of naturalism, which claims there is a natural explanation for everything. In other words, God does nothing. From there, the liars expand to uniformitarianism, which claims everything has always been as it is now. This is the claim that the creation event and the Genesis Flood never happened. One sneaky lie is called “scientism.” Scientism is the unproven belief that science is the best (or only) path to knowledge. With all the lies of the ungodly, you will receive pressure, ridicule, hate, and even persecution if you don’t blindly support and embrace the lies of the culture.
Now, we will get to the twin lies of billions of years and molecules-to-humanity evolution. Think of the childish name-calling that so-called “intellectuals” use. Scientists who challenge or reject this story called “evolution” have often been labeled with terms meant to discredit their credibility or dismiss their views. Some of these terms include:
Creationist – Often used dismissively, implying the person rejects science.
Pseudoscientist – Suggesting they don’t use legitimate scientific methods.
Anti-science – Implying they are opposed to scientific progress or understanding.
Fundamentalist – Implying Biblical truth conflicts with scientific observations.
Science denier – The term “denier” implies that the stories of molecules turning into humans over billions of years are absolute truth. The term “science denier” implies that the stories of molecules-to-humanity-evolution are science, which they are not. They are stories.
Unqualified – Often used to attack a scientist’s credibility, regardless of their actual expertise in related fields.
Dogmatic – Suggesting they are closed-minded and driven by dogma rather than rational thought and truth.
Religious zealot – Framing them as fanatical or overly emotional.
Flat-earther – A derogatory term lumping them in with the flat earth idea. (Flat earth was cleverly promoted by an atheist as a way to deceive Christians. Flat earth is not in the Bible even though the atheist has managed to deceive some Christians by twisting some Scriptures by making stating assumptions as if they were facts.)
Obscurantist – Accusing them of deliberately trying to obscure or block scientific progress.
Ungodly thinkers often use these terms, or terms like them, in debates or discussions to frame anyone who questions the dogmas of old earth, evolution, or any other idea they want to push as unscientific or biased, regardless of the scientific merits of their research. Name-calling and ridicule are always irrational and childish. And yet, these tactics work because no one likes to be ridiculed or called a nasty name.
Ungodly thinkers are dogmatic and religiously zealous about many ungodly, unproven, and unprovable “axioms.” When a person questions these “axioms,” these ungodly thinkers accuse them of the very thing of which the ungodly thinkers themselves are guilty. This is known as projection—attributing their own faults, behaviors, or motivations to others. In this case, it’s accusing Christians of dogmatism or fanatical devotion to a cause while evolutionists are driven by their own dogmatism or fanatical devotion to the causes of ungodliness. No person who truly knows Christ is driven by dogmatism or fanatical devotion to a doctrine, organization, or other cause. As followers of Christ, we follow Christ, not a doctrine, prominent personality, or organization. We know Christ exists because of our personal experience with Him. We know Christ. He leads us. We know the Bible is reliable because the Holy Spirit reveals that fact to us, and He speaks to us through the Bible. We covered the stories called “evolution,” but what about people who think perversion is normal? What about the many other lies we hear all around us? What about all the other crazy ideas the media and educational systems push on us?
When you tell a dogmatic unbeliever about your experiences with Christ, that person may be fanatic enough to mock or ridicule you. When someone attacks you or ridicules you, it sometimes helps to ask questions to find out what they are thinking and why they are thinking it. You can try asking questions rather than arguing. It rarely helps to stoop to their level and enter into an angry argument.
Ask God to answer these questions:
What is a creationist?
What is projection?
Why is it projection when an evolutionist calls a creationist a pseudoscientist?
Why do some people say Bible-believers are anti-science?
Why do people call anyone who disagrees with them “unqualified?”
Bonus questions:
What should you do if someone calls you a fundamentalist?
What should you do if someone calls you dogmatic?
What should you do if someone calls you a religious zealot?
What should you do if someone calls you a flat-earther?
What should you do if someone calls you a science-denier?
Has anyone ever called you a name or ridiculed you for being a Christian? What did they do, and how did you handle it?
