To dislodge an enemy’s foothold, you have to know it is one.
Ben Franklin warned against governments “formed with the seeds of their own dissolution.” Something destructive is growing up in America today. It’s up to us to root out that country-killer.
Since governments began they forged a union between a state and a belief. The goal of Plato’s Republic was to craft a state religion that made the ruler stronger and the public more obedient. Defy the state religion and die a traitor.
We’ve given a foothold to an enemy America’s government was forged to fight. Learn the truth about the religion that claims it isn’t one. Get equipped for a fight we can’t afford to lose before the war’s completely lost.
from Chapter 14 What Does the Scientific Evidence Prove?
Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
Samuel Johnson
Christians, unfortunately, believe that science is an enemy. There is good reason, since most who use the word “science” have completely abandoned Johnson’s demand that integrity go hand in hand with knowledge, replacing truth with selective evidence which supports preconceived conclusions. Christians should not develop either an antagonism toward true science or ignore the very real contributions of true science. Neither should true scientists ignore the very real foundation of science in Christianity.
