A most excellent argument! I'm so glad to be pinged to it! I appreciate you bringing A. Huxley into the discussion: Huxley being one of many who advocate for, and believe - in spite of evidence to the contrary - that man, being his own way and end and means can, may and should bring about his own idea of heaven on earth, i.e., utopia. The same philosophy is behind Communism...and Darwinism is like gas to that engine. These are, as you rightly argue, religious belief systems.

Such a religious belief is what caused the UN to engrave in its building stones the message (ironic and hypocritical as it is!) from the Bible

They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
~Isaiah 2:4

This politically enacted religious belief is what paves the way for the rise of antichrist, the political/religious "one world" ruler who promises peace but brings about what man apart from the True Living God is only capable of: Oppression. Such oppression is what Secular Humanism has always produced. Freedom is found only in the Ruler Jesus Christ. The rebellious will not acknowledge this truth. The very desire in man which cries out for justice, righteousness and peace ought to lead him to the God of these, but such a thing is impossible apart from faith in Him. While man continues to look to himself, or to any source outside himself other than God the Creator, he will practice and reap the harvest of nihilism - all the while calling it survival.

Many thanks for your scholarly essay, FreedomProtector!

Why are these good arguments ending up in the Smokey Backroom continually, rather than having those posts that are truly Backroom material deleted?

The religion of secular humanism openly declares the meaning/purpose of life: "Man is so intelligent and has evolved so far, that he should direct his future evolution."

Who should direct man's future evolution?

Perhaps it is ironic that you wrote that.....as Huxley spent much of his life integrating that view into the U.N....writing the UNESCO materials for the future world government educational institutions...etc..

Who?....an authoritarian elite of some form another, U.N. or otherwise. An authoritarian elite vainly attempting to direct mans future evolution is descriptive of a world void of freedom. The philisophical basis of freedom is removed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights"

All hope is not lost. Heros are born in unlikely times.

FreedomProtector will stand in the way of their master plan to rule the world by "directing mans future evolution" via an authoritarian elite. : )

"....and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Thanks for the ping, .30Carbine.

#1182... Amen... as good a sermon as I've read lately..
Spot on, as cogent and concise, as possible, and cuts through mere words(of this thread) as with a double edged sword..

Words of the AntiChrist. I wouldn't have guessed this without your intellect to guide me.
