Satan started the lie called ‘Rationalism’ in the Garden of Eden

Satan started the philosophy of Rationalism in the Garden of Eden when He said, “You shall be as gods knowing both good and evil.” Rationalism surged among philosophers around 570 years before Christ. It surged again during the so-called “Enlightenment” starting around 1635 in France. Rationalistic thinking is ungodly thinking. It denies that all truth, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, righteousness, holiness, and freedom from sin are found only in Christ. And it denies originals sin. In the early 1700s, rationalists opposed the Great Awakening. Not too many years later, rationalists opposed the Second Great Awakening.

The battle continues to the present. The fight is still between made-up stuff and divine revelation. Naturalism and Materialism became popular doctrines in the 1600s. Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin worked to denigrate the Bible in the 1800s. From the start, the rationalists resorted to appeal-to-ridicule fallacies and appeal-to-popularity fallacies. When those didn’t work, they went to message-control and censorship. When those didn’t work, they resorted to violence and coercion. That continues to this day. Rationalism was confined to the Unitarian Church at first, but the infection spread. You can see it today in many religious and secular organizations.
