Those who embrace humanism either don't believe in a supreme being who created
all things good or they believe that if there is a supreme being, he, she, or
it is not involved in our daily lives. They believe that evolution is merely a
process of the earth.
If these things are true then the only thing we can do is eat, drink, and be
merry for tomorrow we die. This way of thinking is non-productive. It is as
destructive as evolution without a loving God. Observe any building, machine,
living thing, etc.--left to itself it deteriorates till it falls apart.
Whereas if there is a loving God watching over all--evolution is meant to help
the living things adapt to their surroundings for the purpose of survival. The
nature of our loving God is to work with the challenged party until the outcome
is victory.
It is the humanistic viewpoint that has caused life on planet earth to get more
and more difficult to cope with. It is this viewpoint that is causing the increase
in pain and heartache.
If there is no loving God in charge of things, then inevitably selfishness is
god.
The Christian viewpoint is that a loving God created the earth and everything
in it. And it was good. Man's wrong choice--their choice to do what they wanted
to do rather than what God (God is love--love always does the right thing
because the right thing produces good.) told them to do, brought about all that
is bad.
But a loving God is still offering love. He sent his Son who made all the right
choices and then offered himself in the stead of all those who made wrong
choices so that they can make the right choice which is to receive the Him and
the new life he offers. This ultimate act of love reveals God’s nature as
nothing else could do.
This loving God is behind true evolution--evolution is only true in the sense
of adaptation--the same God who created everything good is the same God who
causes things to adapt to their surroundings and be able to survive until the
time when God's Son comes back to oversee the choices made throughout the earth
and make all things right. God ordained that everything produces after its own
kind, so apes do not turn into people, etc.
The humanistic world view encourages selfishness--the loving God worldview encourages
people to follow love, and to heed God's guidance, and it also provides for all
of mankind's needs to be met.
I prophesy that you will "Rise & Walk"
