Do you really need to accuse people of idolatry and hero worship?
As for the idolatry, we're all guilty of it at some points. If a person thinks more of science than of God, he is an idolater. If I think more about material things, or even my family than I do of God, then I am an idolater......that is according to Scripture.
Man was created with a need to believe in something..........a God-shaped vacuum, if you will.....and it always gets filled with something.
There are people who worship evolution, and will ridicule any one who gets in their way, and fight to the death to defend it. It's undeniable on many of these threads.
It is my prayer for myself, that the only One I worship is God, Himself. It is not always the case, but that is what I desire it to be.
