Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing. [1 kings 18:21]
The public schools have replaced Moses with Darwin. Rather than being taught the truth that they are image bearers of the God of creation, America’ young are indoctrinated with the vain philosophy that men are the product of the random and impersonal without design or purpose. Rather than unique in the creation of life as image bearers of the Creator, they are indoctrinated in the false religion that demeans them as nothing more than advanced apes.
Now when men are taught that they are descended from brute beasts and that there is no morality, then why do we expect to see them pursue self control?
Morality and self control are part of the natural law inherent in the heart of the image bearer. Abstinence education reinforces the natural law.
The power of Darwinism is that it helps to suppress the knowledge of God. It agrees with our natural enmity as God haters. Whereas knowledge of the Scriptures helps to restrain the enmity even among unbelievers, Darwinism feeds the enmity. The system is unstable.
