Christianity versus Scientific Naturalism

God is Alive and Well in America.


Jesus lives! Despite many years of drifting towards scientific naturalism, people are looking at the results of living such a belief and are turning away in droves. What this atheistic belief has done is to disable the moral rudder that keeps society on track, civil and virtuous.

People are simply horrified at the results of our schools, where students are taught a biased ideology that can only be described as anti-American, are not taught the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic well-enough, and are not taught American values, American history, and civic duties. They are not being instilled with a love of God, love of country, and love of our people, but rather, the grim, godless, and nihilistic philosophy that comes from Marx and Engels, however verbally disguised it is in the teaching.

Fully half of the people in the last election were mesmerized by the promises of a golden era of free everything -- free college, free healthcare, a generous safety-net, free child care, and more generous social security benefits for everyone, no more war, acceptance of diminished sovereignty of the US in favor of the UN, and renewed friendships with France and Germany, and guaranteed jobs for all! The terrorists would go away because we would retreat from involvement in the Middle East, and the Global War on Terror (GWOT) would be cycled down to a mild roar, if not stopped altogether.

If you believed this nonsense, shame on you! We cannot afford such manna rained down on lower and middle class citizens, to be extracted from the upper class rich and large corporations as an unjust redistribution of wealth. Fortunately, the majority of Americans saw through this giveaway platform as being crass vote-buying, and voted the party down. Nor can we quit the GWOT and the support to the new Iraqi government, else we would face being shamed for a century for not living up to our promises, and would give the Islamic terrorists an enormous boost in their quest for control of the entire globe.

For a while, atheists and their kin thought they had found the way to power, through the Supreme Court, but the Court has, by its decisions of late, shown its true colors. The predictable result of that will be the seating of one or two conservative, constitutionalists on the court in the next months.

Scientific naturalism (SN) claims that there is no God, that the universe was formed by natural cause and effect rules, and that we were likewise formed by natural selection and survival of the fittist rules given to us by Charles Darwin. Darwinian Evolution has been the mantra of the SN clan, and they have fought vicious battles to prevent any other view of the origins of mankind to be heard in public discourse. Views such as Creation of the universe and man by God as set forth in Genesis. These views are relegated by them to the churches and homes of the believers ; all other religious symbols and statements should be banished from public places. The Supreme Court has so far helped their cause, but a new day is coming!

This Scientific Naturalism is, in fact, nonsense. Man is reduced to a mechanism operated by natural rules, except for one class of beings -- scientists themselves. The scientists are the only ones that can work outside of the natural system, that they are capable of rational thought, and that they can break through the barriers of natural cause and effect to get at the truth. This means that the scientists make for themselves an exception to their own rules of nature.

The second deadly sin of SN is their attempt to explain everything in terms of natural forces.
SN claims that all ideas are products of of natural causes in the brain. This must perforce include the idea of Scientific Naturalism itself. Thus if SN is true, then it is not a rational thought and must be discredited, since it is a result of random and irrational physical processes in the brain.
"Any theory of the universe which makes the human mind a result of irrational causes is inadmissible." -- C. S. Lewis.

God is Alive and Well.
