Surprised at any? How about Charles Darwin saying, “To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” I admit, that was not too shocking to me. God has shown man clearly that He exists. It is evident in creation. Isn’t it odd that one of the few, if not only times that humanist say not to believe or trust in your instincts and what feels to be right and true in your own heart is when they want people to deny what is evident from nature and their own hearts, that there is a God? Darwin was correct in stating that it was absurd in the highest degree to look at the design of the human body and say that it evolved. That is why the Bible says that “the fool has said in his heart there is no God." The Bible does not say the fool BELIEVES in his heart, but the fool (atheist) SAYS in his heart. The atheist lies to himself and tells himself that he doesn't believe what he knows to be true.

What about “Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong?” Again, that should not be shocking. In fact, that is the fruit of Darwinism. Only the strong survive, there is no judge but what we do and what we accomplish. “You can’t tell me what to do!”

The consequences of that are whatever stands in my way whatever I need for my success must be removed at all costs. The Bible tells us success is not the judge of right and wrong, but God is. There is a God, and He is the judge. God has given man His laws and they are the only standard of right and wrong. Man will be judged by His laws, not our feelings, our sincerity or how relatively good we were compared to others.

Man knows that God is true, but how can man know God? More importantly, how can God know us in love? Hebrews 1:1-3. God is revealed to us in Christ Jesus the Lord,God spoke to us in Jesus and in Jesus we see God, the Word, the Power of God, the Majesty of God, the mercy and love of God as Jesus died for undeserving sinners. God sent Jesus to Earth to be a substitute, to die in sacrificial love to meet the demands of God’s justice for sins, believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and have faith that His blood was shed for your sins and be saved.
