As I watched the State of the Union address I was struck by only one thing. Well, actually, I was struck by a whole bunch of things, most of them bouncing back off the television after I threw them, but there was one theme that seemed to run through everything that was said.
I cannot believe how much the logic of the arguments for evolution has become a part of the mainstream thought process. Stick with me here. Evolutionary logic goes like this:
“The rocks are four billion years old.”
“How do you know their age?”
“Well, there are dinosaur bones in the rocks and we know those bones are four billion years old—so the rocks have to be four billion years old.”
“How do we know the age of the bones?”
“The archeologists have told us how old they are.”
Then we talk to the archeologists:
“The bones of the dinosaurs are four billion years old.”
“How do we know their age?”
“Well, the bones are in the rocks and the rocks are four billion years old—so the bones have to be four billion years old.”
“How do we know the age of the rocks?”
“The geologists have told us how old they are.”
That is the circular logic that is used to prove at least part of the argument for evolution. Remember, we have to believe in evolution if we are going to lay the proper foundation for the death of God, or His nonexistence.
By now you are wondering what this has to do with the State of the Union. It is simple. Obama used the same thought processes in his speech.
“Everything I say is true.”
“Do you have anything to back up your statements?”
“I do not have to back them up, they are true.”
“How do we know they are true?”
“They are true because I said them and I tell the truth.”
“How do we know these things are the truth?”
“Because I said them, are you not listening?”
And thus, here we are with a scattering of information from a variety of topics that beg for us to ignore logic and simply believe.
The trouble is that evolutionary thinking is based on the fact that there is no God and if there is no God we are supposed to live by logic not faith.
Now we have an evolutionary thinker asking us to defy logic and live by faith.
That is twisted!
