Rejecting the Creator
Dear Daddy:
Please explain to me why you are so concerned about whether people think
either "evolution" or "creation" explains cosmic or human origins. What
difference could it make how we think about stuff that happened a long time
ago---whether it was only 10,000 years, or many billions.

Dear Practical:
I really appreciate your question. On the surface, the
evolutionism/creationism squabble seems so irrelevant to our social problems,
or our various "religious" pursuits.
But how one thinks about this has a profound effect on essentially every
area of life -- public and private. Profound is a mild word to use concerning
the effects on individuals and their nations. Don't spend too much time on
the biological aspects of this -- evolutionary explanations relating to
biology are easily refuted. It is the sociological implications that are
important.
Do you think I am blowing smoke here? Test out something to prove or
disprove my thesis.
Next time there is a friendly pro-abortion gathering in your town, go ask
a few thousand demonstrators whether they think the world was created in 6
days, or took a few million or billion years.
Ditto for the next "homosexual rights" gathering in your streets.
Same for the next Communist Party rally.
What kind of response do you think you will get?
Do you see a pattern here? This is the missing link -- that something
happens to people when they reject their Creator. They do and think awful
things.
Test this out, and let us know.
