Moving Towards a “Devolutionary” Paradigm
Recommended article for this discussion: A Call For Scientific Devolution
Read this article and then consider the following excerpt:
“Blinded by a pro-pleasure, anti-fundamental, pseudo-scientific agenda, evolutionists are not looking at their scientific discoveries in terms of how they must change the evolving society, but in how to change the un-evolved human animal. The problem lies not in the conclusions in the science labs and centers, but when and how these conclusions are applied into the fabric of reality. It is not that we are merely attempting to coerce society to embrace this evolutionary ideal. We are being physiologically conformed to an evolutionary fallacy.
Put simply: We are re-making (physiological) man in our own (ideological) image.”
Ponder and dialogue about where this statement might be a reality (consider pharmaceutics, psychology, entertainment and advertising). How can Christians begin to expose and enlighten society as to the dangers of re-making (physiological) man, in a manner that eliminates the “us against them” combative stance. How can you take this ‘devolutionary’ into your places of influence?
