Evolution's Goal ... Problems

Of course, the mutations and adaptations witnessed by the computing industry were actually designed by intelligent beings who had specific goals in mind. Biological adaptations, by contrast, were driven by the blind and often cruel hand of natural selection. Evolution has only one goal: successful replication.


Quote taken from The Evolution of Religion.

I'm continuing to see writers state that the single goal of evolution is successful (or self-) replication. Does this not raise moral, ethical, societal, even evolutionary questions? Think about it, if self-replication is the only goal,...
1. What does that say about all the other purposes secularists suggest?
2. What does it suggest about the individual who seeks to impregnate as many women as he can (even without personal responsibility to providing for his offspring)?
3. Are those who seek (... incl: spend time) to fulfill "other" goals working against evolution? Is that even possible? Regardless, what does say to areas such as art, literature, etc.?


Fortunately, here again, most secularists do not live consistently by seeking to implement and carry out their stated beliefs and positions to their logical end. Isn't it interesting how even evolutionists really don't want their own positions to be true and not only prefer but choose to live as if they are not!

Adam's Curse, Not Adam's Guilt: Recovering the Mystery of Grace

Adam's Curse, Not Adam's Guilt: Recovering the Mystery of Grace A Reformed Perspective on Original Sin, Divine Justice, and the Wonder of Election Introduction "Why me?" This question has echoed through the hearts of believers across the centuries—not as theological confusion, but as worshipful wonder. Why would a holy God show mercy to a rebel like me? Yet for many Christians, traditional formulations of original sin have obscured this beautiful mystery by creating a different puzzle altogether: How can God be just in condemning people for Adam's sin? I want to suggest that this latter question flows from a theological misstep that, while well-intentioned, has unnecessarily complicated our understanding of divine justice and muted the wonder of divine grace. The distinction is simple but profound: we inherit Adam's curse, not Adam's guilt. This framework preserves everything essential about Reformed theology while recovering the p...

Inerrancy, Textual Criticism, and the Spirit’s Stewardship of Scripture: An Apologetic for the Reliability of God’s Word

  How Christians can confidently defend the Bible’s truth and transmission One of the most common objections skeptics raise is this: “How can you trust a book that’s been copied and recopied for thousands of years? Surely errors, omissions, and changes have crept in over time!” Christians who misunderstand how the Bible was preserved can themselves stumble — either doubting Scripture when confronted with textual variants, or clinging uncritically to one translation as though it alone were inspired. This article serves as an apologetic: to explain why Christians can trust the Bible, how inerrancy and textual criticism work together, and how the Holy Spirit has actively guarded God’s Word throughout history. Inerrancy: God’s Perfect Word Christians affirm that the Scriptures, in their original autographs , were fully inspired by God and perfectly true. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching…” (2 Timothy 3:16). This doctrine applies specifically to what the...

America: an Islamic Nation?

In President Obama's nobel acceptance speech, he made reference again to Islam as "a GREAT religion" (Caps, my emphasis, though it reflects the tone in which the statement was made). While I recognize both the political and practical benefits of using such a term (i.e., seeking to drive a wedge to separate the greater Muslim community from those presently and publicly endorsing jihad.... so as to avoid WWIII), at the same time I wonder if any News organization would consider counting and reporting the number of times the President of the United States has made reference to Islam as a Great Religion and the number of times he has publicly referred to Christianity as a Great Religion? I guarantee the difference would be ASTOUNDING! Question: Where's the CONSISTENCY when it comes to what many refer to today as "separation of church and state"? Seems while there may be "separation of Christianity and state", there is no "separation of Islam and...
