Modernist Evolutionary Christians in a Little God-Man Centered Universe: Scientific Neutrality and Biblical Deconstruction
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 2023 | Linda Kimball

Posted on 11/15/2023 1:45:36 AM PST by spirited irish

En-darkened modernists claim scientific neutrality as a general operating assumption. Two applications of modernist thought evidence this: deconstructionism (destructive criticism/critical theory) and evolution (anti-creation account/relentless change/relativism), an inverted exegesis that deconstructs and reduces man in the spiritual image of the Trinity to evolved ape. Along with evolution, deconstructionism is a form of relativism or nihilism that for more than eighty years has been spilling into and contaminating our moral and culture sustaining institutions from seminaries and Biblical scholarship to academia, law, media, arts, and politics, thence our minds, individually and collectively. (2)

The origin of the neutrality principle is the Garden of Eden. Its’ father is the Evil One who tempted Eve to approach the question of eating from the forbidden tree in a neutral, unbiased fashion. He slyly suggested she adopt a neutral position in order to decide who was right, God or the snake. Like modernists of our own age Eve doubted and therefore rejected God’s Word as authoritative and conclusive. As a true neutralist she determined for herself which choice to take. (Gen. 3:4-6)

Adam and Eve “Fooled around and found out”!

Yep. Typical human. Tell them there's one thing they cannot do and that's the first thing they WANT to do.

Of course God knew that Adam and Eve would eat of the tree. On what planet and in what universe would a human not eat from this particular tree?

Human nature is what it is.

Not only is unbelief in Gods Word as old as Eden, but the belief in the changing of life forms in the past to get what we find today is very old also. Anaximander (lived in 6th-5th century b.c. Greece) was reported by other philosophers to have hypothesized how life got to be by a primitive evolutionary explanation... Empedocles(4th century b.c.) had his own primitive explanation. And that view permeates our contemporary outlook. It is more sophisticated now, but with the obvious “metacomplexity”- if you will, of the organization, and reproductive capabilities of life colliding with the entropy of complex chemical systems makes the simple explanation hopeful, for the expositors, but untenable.

Of course evolution is real, only people denying it are a minority of heretics in America who claim to be Christian and groups like hamas and ISIS

I hope you’re being sarcastic.

With all the whack jobs out there it’s hard to tell.

There is no *neutral* ground in regard to God.

He either exists or doesn’t.

He’s either right, or not.

And no one on this planet has the knowledge or ability to be a truly objective observer and make correct, truly objective assessments because we don’t even have the beginning of enough information to do so.

Either one believes God’s word, as inspired and written, or you don’t. Only God’s Holy Spirit can convince a person to believe. There is no “evolution” in God’s word. I pray that believers stop adding to God’s word.

Well, evolution is every bit as real as anthropogenic climate change.

If evolution was a fact, there would be at least some evidence of it.

But there is none at all.
