The Three Big Problems

If we were to reduce the political science or civic objections to Evolutionary theory down to three points, they would be these:

1. Nature of government: Evolutionism includes no absolute morality or standard for laws. Right and wrong are variously determined by either what is socially acceptable, what is said to be right or wrong by a leading official, or what is most advantageous to the community. Thus, under such a philosophy, there are no unalienable rights which can limit governmental power over individuals.

2. Method of government: Since there are no unalienable rights under Evolutionism, there is no reason to limit government, and so no reason for checks and balances or wisdom in governmental officials. Countries adopting the Evolutionary worldview have thus become unlimited democracies, and in many cases, dictatorships. Never have they become constitutional representative republics such as the United States was designed to be.

3. Purpose of government: The traditional purpose for government, and that stated in the Bible in Romans 13, is for physical protection. The purpose under Evolutionary philosophy is one of two things: 1. To dominate and/or subdue a cultural heirarchy of "fit" and "less-fit." 2. To implement the desires of the Majority. The first purpose is the most historically famous, creating dictatorial regimes such as Hitler's. The second is less famous, but perhaps much more common. This purpose, too, often immediatly creates dictatorial regimes, such as Lenin's or Mao's. However, it often accomplishes its' logical end more sinisterly, slowly molding a grand socialist State through welfare programs, "common markets," and erosion of traditional values.

Battling the anti-American and anti-Christian forces is not easy. We must do it through the power of our Creator, since, after all, it is Him they are fundamentally attacking. Understanding this fact can enable us to rally to the cry of David, "Who is this Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Samuel 17:26)
