The last two centuries have witnessed an unprecedented increase of knowledge, and the rate of this increase is accelerating at an almost incomprehensible speed. Yet, the wisdom of mankind does not seem to have increased in critical matters such as education, resolving differences, or managing states and economies that are becoming increasingly complex. Though the increase of knowledge has been, for the most part, a great benefit to mankind, the failure to grow in corresponding wisdom has led to major human catastrophes and kept the world under the increasing threat of disaster.

         The conflict between institutional Christianity and the institutions of science has not helped this situation. We are speaking of these institutions, not the essence of science and Christianity, which have much in common in their pursuit of truth. They also have a common enemy in Darwin, Freud, and Marx. As the institutions of science and Christianity have both found ways to accommodate these three deadly enemies of truth, this has further threatened true science and true Christianity. This has naturally caused true disciples and true scientists to wonder if their truth can only exist untainted while it remains “outside the camp.” To begin to understand this dilemma, we will briefly address how Darwin, Freud, and Marx have all been debunked by science, beginning with Darwin. 

         Darwin’s “Theory of Evolution” is still known as a theory and not a law because it has never passed the tests and evidence required to be considered a law. Even more important, the “Theory of Evolution” is in basic conflict with one of the most established, proven laws of science—the second law of thermodynamics. This law, also called the law of entropy, is one of the most fundamental laws that our understanding of physics is built on. 

         The “law of entropy” states that all of nature trends toward disorder and chaos unless acted upon by an outside intelligent source. This means that if there is any order, unity, or synthesis in nature, it is there because an outside intelligent source made it happen. That the order, unity, or synthesis could have happened by “random chance” is not considered a possibility by science, and there has never been one such observed event—ever! 

         Darwin’s theory requires literally millions, if not trillions of random events, in perfect timing and sequences, to bring forth order and synthesis on a level never yet achieved by even the most brilliant science. As one scientist remarked, it would be more likely for a tornado to hit a junkyard and leave behind a perfectly built jumbo jet than for such evolution to have happened by so many random events that not only result in order, but possibly the most complex order of all—life. 

         Another scientist said that to believe Darwin was like taking a walk and finding a brand new top of the line Mercedes on the beach, with keys in the ignition, manuals in the console, and gas in the tank, and think that the ocean made it! If you protest that evolution takes millions of years, I think we could give the ocean millions of years and it would not be able to make a single tire.

         Consider that there has never been a single event observed that conflicts with the second law of thermodynamics, and there has never been a single event observed that supports evolution. Yet, what is taught in our schools and is taught as established fact? Might this imply that our schools need an intelligent source to bring some order into the chaos they have become?

         Now, with an increase of scientific knowledge in such areas as the complexity of DNA, to even call this theory of evolution a scientific theory is to devalue the name of science. It is most apparent that all of the order in the universe is the result of “an outside intelligent source.” Most of us would call this Source God, the Creator. Because this law, which is a foundational law of physics, so embarrassingly proves there was a Creator and disproves the “theory of evolution,” some in science have striven hard to modify this law. But the results are such psycho-science-babble that it is just as much an embarrassment to true scientists as evolution. This just proves once again what Jesus said would be a major sign of the end of this age—deception. 

         One encouragement for America is that over 80% of Americans believe in God and intelligent design. Among these include many of the most brilliant scientists. We may debate who the Creator is, but to consider that there was not one is not an option for those who are sincere seekers of truth. 

         The complexity of DNA is so great that it would be more sensible to believe that the ocean made a Mercedes in one night than for nature to have made a single cell creature with the millions of random but perfectly harmonious “accidents,” which the theory of evolution requires, even if it supposedly took millions of years. As Frank Turek wrote in the brilliant book he co-wrote with Norm Geisler, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, it would be easier to believe that an explosion at the printing shop resulted in a perfectly written and printed set of 1,000 encyclopedias. 

         There are numerous examples of how many species can change to adapt to their environment as described by Darwin. But how did we get from there to the madness of evolution being how life got here, much less the higher forms of life that we have? As Paul Cain once said, “Most heresy is the result of men trying to take to logical conclusions what God has only revealed in part.” This has proven true theologically, and it is true in science as well, except with some theories, such as evolution, which we would have to say was taken to “illogical” conclusions. 

         Why would anyone, especially Christians or scientists, be prone to distort such clearly observed facts and truth like this? There is one proposed law of human social behavior that could explain this. The acronym for this law is PAC for People Are Crazy! We have proven able to have incomprehensible levels of knowledge with an incomprehensible lack of intelligence. When we start thinking we are wise and intelligent because we have knowledge, the results can be as outrageous as the theory of evolution, possibly science’s biggest example of the emperor not having any clothes on.

         An observable social principle is that most people tend to believe what they want to believe instead of where the facts should lead them. When confronted about why they would believe something as contrary to science as Darwin, a shocking number of scientists replied with such answers as it made them “morally comfortable.” One admitted that it allowed him to pursue his preferred sexual liberty without guilt. 

         Such thinking may appall us, but Christians have been prone to develop some of the most outlandish and unbiblical doctrines to support their own preferred behavior that is in conflict with Scripture. As we previously covered the Apostle Paul’s statement in II Thessalonians 2:10, it’s not just having truth, but a love for the truth that can keep us from being deceived. 

         Next, we will cover the fallacies Marxism is based on.

         We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. –Anais Nin

         Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of reality. – R. Buckminster Fuller
