Darwin Hegemony
David Brooks wrote an amazing article called the Age of Darwin; Brooks wrote "it’s clear we’re not a postmodern society anymore" and described how truth is now defined by Darwinism; Philip Johnson agreed that we've returned to a Hyper-Modernism. A poignant expression is Theodosius Dobzhansky maxim, "Nothing in [biology] makes sense except in the light of evolution."
Brooks is right because Darwinism is everywhere; this week, Time Magazine had an article describing how Fatherhood was an evolutionary relic. This is so wrong because the father is symbolic of God who is our Father we would not exist if He did not sustain us. Show me a family without a good father-figure, and you'll show me a family who is suffering and horribly dysfunctional. Darwinists seem to prefer a father figure who is an alpha-male animal that has sex with as many women as possible to spread his seed without obligation and only weak men would stay with one women. Darwinism praises our carnal, animalistic life styles and denies the idea that we ravaged by the Fall.
Brooks article has a poignant example of museums exhibiting a philosophy of history rather than true history. This was interesting because of all the protests against the newly opened Creation Museum and this came to full fruition in yesterday's Chicago Tribune cover-story titled: New Field exhibit takes on Darwin detractors. The article's uses all the idioms associated with Jesus Christ to give Charles Darwin's biography in the atypical evolution-religion fashion. It retells Darwin's altruistic journey away from theology into enlightenment in evolutionary theory, and how he overcame the murderous Christian haters and was even willing to give up his wife and his own life for science, and then the article lauds the Field exhibit's video confessions of Christians who abandoned their faith for a syncretism between Christianity and Darwinism, and reminds us that Darwin was "very human" implying that not everyone can become like the rest of the "intellectuals" who abandoned their faith like Darwin.
There are many "grand theory of everything" books that reinterpret the world in Darwinism style, and everyday I see someone on the CTA reading titles like "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond or "Freakonomics" by Stephen Dubner. Instead of realizing the world was designed that the Gospel would easily spread throughout the world after Jesus Christ's epiphany, Diamond's book thinks that Eurasians were destined to rule the world because of the same arrangement of resources, diseases and geography. Instead of seeing the intrinsic value of life in unborn babies and how God loves the helpless, Dubner thinks that aborted children inevitably would have become criminals and that abortion prevents criminals from being born because insignificant people should be eliminated, not saved, for the sake of the humanity. I feel like Dubner ignored Machiavelli epilogues on how no strategy will prevail against God's favor and how God purposely uses the weak to show He is strong. Ravi Zacharias often reads Steve Turner's poem called the Creed as a satire of the worldly wise man.
It is very unpopular to disagree with the Scientific Community because they say "only the ignorant or unintelligent" don't see it their way. True science supports the fact of Jesus Christ and only the worldly philosophy of science denies God. I write these blogs because people are mocked for following their convictions to follow God and the real reason is that the world wants to follow its passions and does not want to conform to God's will. So think about all the Darwinian explanations for life and see how they are sweet in our mouth but sour in our stomach and then follow God and feel the fruition of the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 10
12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good? 14 Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. 15 Yet the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.
