Creation Thesis-July 21, 2022-Notes for Discussion - Thesis: p. 25 ff.

Consider:
Darwin’s New“Theory”:
—The Theory offers a theme of gigantic proportions. Think about it:
1. We now have a reason for everything! Everything proceeded from nothing, without explanation. With ONLY chance, and time, (and now, mutation, which was unknown to Darwin), things arranged themselves to produce what we have here, today:
A. The entire universe (with its vast array of stars, galaxies, planets, which finally, pro-
duced earth)
B. The inception of life, millions of years ago, which then organized itself, by steps and
degrees, to produce the ordered situation which we have today.
C. All of the above, again, was “conceived” by Something (an impersonal force), which
can’t conceive anything.
2. A Creator God is:
* Non-existent, or . . .
* Able to do nothing, except bless a process He has no control of.
* Those who believe in God, must find ways to work God into the new Theory.
* Very few believe in such a God, or His written words, inscribed in Scripture, which can’t be trusted.
* Only a tiny fraction of civilized man wholeheartedly accept such a God and the entirety of His Word.

The New Theory is the Victor, and God effectively is booted out:
Consider the consequences:
* Religion now is merely sentimental, something one can accept, or reject.
* Since there is no absolute truth, except the New Theory, no divine law must be obeyed.
* Conscience is hardened, because there is nothing to hold it in check. Is it possible that the rise of Naziism, Communism, and later, abortion, are some of the results?

“Sin” is nonexistent. “Death” is the inevitable part of life.
Is it possible that the Theory is included among the deceptions of the End Times?
