A Little History
Why do scientists dogmatically eliminate the Bible and God from science? How did society come to believe in naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism? Let’s briefly explore what happened. We have to go way back.
The church started on the right foot. It followed the order God established for about 200 years. Then, it bowed to fear and slowly started making changes. Satan brought in challenges and politics, and he was able to plant new ideas that conflicted with Scripture. Over the centuries, the church turned from the pattern of God as revealed in Scripture. Then, the church became part of the secular government and gained political and coercive power. That power was concentrated in a few ruling individuals who were no longer walking according to God’s pattern. Power allows the fleshly nature to perform its corrupt purposes. The warped church became oppressive.
God never forces Himself on anyone, but the church now had the coercive power of government. It began to force “conversions.” It began to brutalize anyone who expressed any disagreement with the unbiblical church leadership. And many people grew tired of it.
This distorted church also rationalized religious-sounding ideas into science and often weighed in on the wrong side of science. A lawyer, Charles Lyell, who was interested in geology, came up with a plan. He wrote that he wanted to “free the science from Moses.” Lawyers are good at “proving” things and persuading others. And Lyell did just that. He introduced an assumption called “uniformitarianism.” He assumed the Genesis Flood never happened. He filtered geology through this lens of “no Flood.” Then, he made some blunders in his observations and came up with an extended age for the earth. A few years later, a theology student named Charles Darwin built on these ideas and sold the idea of evolutionism to the scientific community.
Neither Lyell nor Darwin based their ideas on observations. They did observe. However, their ideas added made-up stuff to what they observed. They based their ideas on storytelling. Skillful storytelling can easily influence the human mind.
Lyell and Darwin worked with others to remove God and the Bible from science and history. Once they did that, dogmatism and resistance to God cemented the new unscientific distortion of “no God” as “essential for science.” From there, naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism crept into society. Naïve people in the media had already exalted science as unquestionable and promoted these three unfounded lies as “science,” deceiving many. Deceived teachers began teaching these lies in schools. Spiritually dead politicians, bureaucrats, and judges established them as laws and regulations. These lies even slithered into the thinking of Christians.
