It’s good to see Campolo again getting a few things right.

The ethical implications of Darwinism involve a non-existent God. For some more lenient than I, they see it meaning an on-and-off-again, absentee God.

Either way, it leads to a social ethic that either excises God, ignores Him, or turns Him into an indulgent Dutch Uncle.

Good for Campolo....finally.

Campolo is such a socialist who preached against the tobacco industry and once complained that potatoes were being wasted on making potato chips when they could have fed the poor etc.....

A great deal of his popularity as a speaker comes from what I like to call his “persona.” He has the “persona” of Don Rickles. Campolo’s humor leads to his serious socialistic side. And yes, Jesus gets His name mentioned in the picture.

I once had a one on one interview with Campolo in my news reporting days. A really nice guy with a lot of bad ideas, but he got this one right.

It is always amazing to see the comments whenever any suggests that introducing any aspect of Intelligent Design into the school curriculum might be a worthwhile project. They call those of us who see the creator in the creation a bunch of “Neandrathals” or Troglodytes as if we who see creation as an act of God are not as highly evolved as those who see the creation and the ascent of man as the act of unguided collisions of atoms and molecules.

After teaching our children that there is no God and that they are nothing more than living breathing rocks that have been descended from the accidental cross breeding of amoebas and gorillas how can we be surprised when they act like animals?

If there is no God; if evolution is true and we are nothing more than living breathing rocks, then there is no morality and there is purpose. The survival of the fittest becomes not only a scientific principle, but a moral imperative. If man is to further evolve, then the weak links, the inferior races, those with inferior genetic make up must be eliminated. That is why Nazi’s could kill off the crippled, the Jews, and the gypsies by the trainload and still sleep soundly at night. They were doing “God’s work”. They were protecting future generations and advancing the evolution of man.

Maybe not every Darwinist thinks along those lines. Maybe not all of those who believe that God either does not exist or that God is irrelevant will succumb to the moral implications of Darwinian philosophy, but as we saw in Germany, it only takes a few.

Many people apparently think that introducing any aspect of intelligent design will somehow dilute the gene pool of future scientists. Well if a solid belief that there is no God and that God is irrelevant to science or to creation is the mark of a good scientist, then maybe those who believe in God and those who believe in Intelligent Design will need to be removed from the scientific gene pool, just as the Nazis removed Jews and Gypsies from the Aryan gene pool. We can’t have a polluted gene pool, can we?

Campolo is an arrogant man who chastises those will wealth because they have been successful without even knowing how much a person actually gives away to the church without fanfare.

And even though he is a socialist, he does get some things right; including this article. His Sermon “It’s Friday...but Sunday’s coming” is a glorious message of Jesus Christ and Salvation through Him.
