For the last couple hundred years in Western culture Christianity has been on the defensive. The 20th century saw the full flowering of militant and confident secularist materialism to the point where our cultural elites see Christianity not just as wrong and backward (especially “unscientific”), but morally evil. Known as the woke mob is not only dominant in education, Hollywood, and the media, but has now even taken over corporate boardrooms. The irony is that they refuse to follow their mantra to “follow the science” when that science leads directly to a Creator God. With the advance in scientific knowledge over the last 50 years it takes willful blindness, which rebellious sinners are really good at, to refuse to see the evidence that forces us to infer a designer from a universe so exquisitely designed for life. I recently watched/listened to the video below of Eric Metaxas having a discussion with Stephen C. Meyer about this new book, The Return of the God Hypothesis. I’m adding this to my ever growing list of books I want to read. He addresses three big discoveries that have happened over the last century that have put the materialists squarely on the defensive:
- The Big Bang
- The Fine tuning of the universe
- The discovery of digital code and information processing systems in the cell
I love the phrase Metaxas uses for the cell, but it applies to all three. It is all preposterously complex, and the atheist materialists want us to believe that it’s all a result of random chance? I don’t think so. It’s almost comical to see the lengths the materialists will go to deny the glaringly obvious, and Metaxas and Meyer discuss some of that as well. What Paul asserted in Romans 1 is becoming increasingly undeniable: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.”
