| Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. Can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore legs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders & two legs on the hips one on either side & no more? Whence arises this uniformity in all their outward shapes but from the counsel & contrivance of an Author? Whence is it that the eyes of all sorts of living creatures are transparent to the very bottom & the only transparent members in the body, having on the outside an hard transparent skin, & within transparent juices with a crystalline Lens in the middle & a pupil before the Lens all of them so truly shaped & fitted for vision, that no Artist can mend them? Did blind chance know that there was light & what was its refraction & fit the eyes of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These & such like considerations always have & ever will prevail with man kind to believe that there is a being who made all things & has all things in his power & who is therefore to be feared. |
Well, so much for the claim of atheists and pseudo- scientists that science and presuppositionalism are mutually exclusive! The above was a direct quote from the "Father of modern science", the English physicist, Sir Isaac Newton!
It's saddening way people seem all too willing to accept this lie as fact! It reflects a mindset that was patently repugnant to the Founding Fathers and flags all type and manner of "control mechanisms" that defeat the purpose of why our ancestors left Europe in the first place. By far, the lynchpin of this liberal con is the notion that science and faith contradict one another on too many critical points for the former to have possibly been predicated upon the latter. It's given rise to an abhorrent cabal of pseudo-intelligencia that call themselves "free thinkers"...
There's nothing ennobling, empowering or redemptive in constricting oneself to pseudo-intellectual theory that is neither supportable by anything substantive nor- evidently- can bear the weight of counter point! It's been said that nothing can more quickly derail this or-any other type-of liberal thinking than logic and facts and I've found that to be very much the case. Those of our proper traditional, thinking seem constricted only out of a credible fear of being labeled "intolerant", "bigoted" and so forth. The idea of being labeled "fascist" is understandably repugnant to most Christians. Consequently, many simply constrict discourse to arenas where the liberals are absent. To be frank, that amounts to a tacit endorsement of their motifs of which they are not deserving in the least! While we're at it, it's contrary to the Great Commission!
Facts and logic that will quickly disarm....
Approach them in a discussion with any of the following facts and I guarantee the discussion will be over! In my experience, their responses vary from indignation to repeating a snippet from some convoluted diatribe that has little to do with the original subject matter. Both tactics, you should remind them at this point, are pitiful substitutes for intelligence.
- The entire solar system makes up less than 2% of the molecular nebula that was used in the creation of the sun.
- The irreducible complexity of the single cell and the compendium of mechanisms which ensure DNA is properly replicated during mitosis.
- The Moon may very well be just a runaway meteor that got caught in the Earth's gravitational pull. But its position relative to the Earth better not move even slightly. Lest our oceans become sewers, rendering life on this planet impossible in relatively short order.
- My NRA brother, President John F Kennedy, cited the fact that we have the same percentage of salt in our blood, tears and sweat that's in the ocean.
- Photosynthesis
- The mathematical proof of the mechanisms put in place which ensure convective stability in the solar system-occasional orbital resonance, notwithstanding.
- My dear friend, the brilliant OPC Elder Joe Shackelford of Pennsylvania astutely points out the flawless complementarity espoused in the periodic table of the elements; which could not possibly have been the result of pure chance!
- Boy Scouts of America founder and Presbyterian Ernest Thompson Seton noted the spatial correlation between a mountain lion's fangs and the cervical vertebra of its main pray, deer. Said correlation ensured the cat's survival at a time when there were larger, stronger and faster cats in this quarter of the Earth!
- If there was a "big bang" why wasn't trajectory optimization realized? How could such a random and tumultuous explosive force hurl objects in such a comparatively orderly and elliptical trajectory?
Do any of these scientific facts sound like the result of random chance??!! The very notion of faith and science being mutually exclusive is a lie. The belief in God is repugnant to these "free thinking" liberals because of their pathological and visceral contempt for moral absolutes....plain and to the point!
From the onset, science and the belief in God worked in tandem in the same great minds. Even to this day, it's estimated that roughly 7/10 of all modern scientists rebuke atheism. Hence, they would have little respect for the "free thinkers".
Look at these quotes from several of the pioneers of modern science:
“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.” -Galileo
“God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.” - Francis Bacon
“I experienced in myself a certain capacity for judging which I have doubtless received from God, like all the other things that I possess; and as He could not desire to deceive me, it is clear that He has not given me a faculty that will lead me to err if I use it aright.” - Rene Descartes
I am, I hope, very thankful that in the withdrawal of the powers and things of life, the good hope is left with me, which makes the contemplation of death a comfort — not a fear. Such peace is alone the gift of God, and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope, and there is the rest for those who )like you and me) are drawing near the latter end of our terms here below. I do not know, however why I should join you with me in years. I forget your age, but this I know (and feel as well) that next Sabbath day (the 22nd) I shall complete my 70th year. I can hardly think myself so old as I write to you — so much of cheerful spirit, ease and general health is left to me, and if my memory fails, why it causes that I forget troubles as well as pleasure and the end is, I am happy and content. - Michael Faraday
To know the mighty works of God to comprehend His wisdom and majesty and power to appreciate, in degree, the wonderful working of His laws, surely all this must be a pleasing and acceptable mode of worship to the Most High to whom ignorance can not be more grateful than knowledge. -Copernicus
I find more sure marks of the authenticity of the Bible than in any profane history whatever…. Worshipping God and the Lamb in the temple: God, for his benefaction in creating all things, and the Lamb, for his benefaction in redeeming us with his blood.- Isaac Newton
I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. - Joseph Lister
.... And if the revisionists mention Albert Einstein. By all means, give them your biggest smile and accommodate them:
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
Yet the revisionists portray him as, at minimum, latently agnostic....Does this sound like the verbiage of someone who was??!!
I'd be derelict not to quote a few strong Presbyterians, now wouldn't I?
'Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God." - George Washington Carver
And that great man of healing. A powerful mortal vessel with whom I had the distinct pleasure once of a personal exchange.....
It is God’s providence that keeps the sea at the edge of the shore, or an airplane in the sky, or that makes cats out of kittens. When the twenty-three chromosomes of the sperm and the twenty-three chromosomes of the egg are put together, it is God’s ordinary activity that forms a baby. It is his ordinary activity that grows a baby into a child, a child into an adolescent, an adolescent into an adult, and an adult into an elderly person. It is also his ordinary providence that brings about the death of a person, set off by one phenomenon or another. Nevertheless, the phenomenon is part of God’s natural law. Can you interrupt or alter God’s law of nature? It may indeed appear that you can. You might accelerate the process or slow it, but you cannot avoid it. Whatever happens, it is according to God’s providence.
Former US Surgeon General, Dr C Everett Koop
And a sage observation from someone I'd gladly vote for in a run for the White House
...and as for "political correctness" , he says this:
"The PC [Politically Correct] Police are out in force at all times ... We have to get over this sensitivity ... PC is dangerous, because you see, this country, one of the founding principles was freedom of thought and freedom of expression. And it [PC] muffles people. It puts a muzzle on them."
Dr Ben Carson - retired Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University
The clear reality is that atheism is as anathema to legitimate scientific/ medical thought as it is to traditional presuppositionalism. It was every bit as foreign to Johann Kepler and Isaac Newton as it was to Increase Mather and John Winthrop!
A CALL TO ARMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's time for us to stop cowering under the poorly choreographed machinations of neo-Stalinist (or Satanic-take your pick) revisionism that guises itself under the banner of "free thought"! The complacency of the elect makes us accessories after the fact. Affording "benefit of the doubt" to those intent on eviscerating our way of life has proven mortal for our faith in the mainline.......
with an all too gradual and malignant banality!
Don't perpetuate that mistake- we can't afford it! When you engage the enemies of our faith, don't be afraid to use words like "game", "liar", "con", "pinko" and so forth...these terms fit.
I'll leave you with this:
One of the first licensed clinical psychologists in this country was a mentee of the Rev J Gresham Machen; who said it best......
“In trying to remove from Christianity everything that could possibly be objected to in the name of science, in trying to bribe off the enemy by those concessions which the enemy most desires, the apologist has really abandoned what he started out to defend.”
“Why should we be indignant about slanders directed against a human friend, while at the same time we are patient about the basest slanders directed against our God?” -J Gresham Machen
Psalm 14:1-7
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God: they have corrupted, and done an abominable work: there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand, and seek God.
3 All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
4 Do not all the workers of iniquity know that they eat up my people, as they eat bread? they call not upon the Lord.
5 There they shall be taken with fear, because God is in the generation of the just.
6 You have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his trust.
7 Oh give salvation unto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
