"Expelled will open wide on the 18th, but mostly in rural and poor neighborhoods. It’s got just one theater in all of New York City, in Times Square, none in places like Beverly Hills or wealthier, better-educated urban neighborhoods where more "evolved" people might live.” – a critic who doesn’t understand the movie
‘Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him’ [Proverbs 26:12].
In the letter to the Romans the apostle exalts in the grace of God in the gospel. In order to demonstrate God’s mercy toward sinners Paul must first make the case for the utter depravity and hopelessness of men in their sin. The potential depth of human depravity is given in Romans 1.
Among the descriptors of the depraved mind are these…’haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful...’ [Romans 1:28-31].
Depravity is displayed when men become God deniers, ‘They did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer.’ As men advance in depravity they become proud of their atheism.
This progression is consistent with Psalm 1…
‘Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.’
In Mr. Stein’s interview with the darwinites, some of them admitted that their theism was destroyed by their science. Now this is a sad commentary on Darwinism because there is no conflict between good science and Biblical Theology because the giver and sustainer of life reveals Himself both in the creation and in the Scriptures.
