Land and Bible

We as individuals and nations are psychologically (or spiritually) motivated to remove the true God from our lives, because the idea of “God” takes away our autonomy. We need to remove God from our lives so that we can do what we want. We can justify our behavior if there is no God, or if we make up a god that lets us do what we want. I want a god who is defined by me, who  will serve me,   who requires of me what I deem necessary to give him. But there is a cost for rejecting the true God. A very high cost. This is worse than biting the hand that feeds us. This is rejecting not just our feeder, but our Maker and Redeemer. “Thus says the Lord God, ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you must bear the consequences…’” ( Ezekiel 23:35) .

Modern western man places an emphasis on freedom of choice.  Infant murder is even called pro-choice.  What isn’t emphasized is that with choice comes responsibility, yea verily, accountability.  Yes, God gives mankind choice.  And we will be accountable for our choices.  If we choose to murder someone, we will die. If we choose to deny or ignore God, we will be held accountable.

There are many people whose loyalty is to something other than the truth.  But He is coming, He is coming to judge the earth (Psa. 96:13). The mouths of liars will be stopped (Psa. 63:11).

The theory of evolution is like ancient idolatry - a creation of man's imagination, the work of man's hands.  Man desires an excuse to reject the true God, and so devises a most incredible theory. My ear developed from the jawbone of lizard “millions” of years ago!  And like old pagan idolatry, sometime in the future the theory of evolution will be considered silly, if it's even remembered at all. As strong a grip as the theory of evolution has on the world today, it will be done away with. The theory of evolution is a result of man's psychological need to remove God from our lives, not scientific observation. And when the evolutionist is about to have his very soul taken from him, when he cries out to his theory for help, or shouts "unfair!", like for the baalist in the days of Elijah, there will be no answer. Only a frightening silence. He will then know, if even but for a moment, that his theories are nothing. A figment. A delusion. A mistake. 

Sometimes I hear it said that the Bible isn’t a "scientific book” in the sense that it doesn't present observable evidence.  You want “scientific”?  Try this:  “You will surely die” (Genesis 2:17).
