Charles Darwin, among others, was born on February 12, in the year 1809. Two hundred and sixteen years later, our Christian God thinkers have failed to take into account our world as it actually exists. As a result, they have tried to keep God believers in the story time caves of ancient thought.
One hundred years
after Darwin published his book, “On the Origin of Species” (1859), most of our
world had agreed with Darwin. Even the God believers in the pew have awakened to
the new science reality as the turmoil caused by this publication began to subsided.
The caves have become increasingly irrelevant to the people, we have to live in
our now world.
The Christian
God thinkers, regrettably, are a cave dwelling Church protected class. Some God
thinkers in the last fifty years have tried to sound hip to Darwin but I have
yet to read a plausible, consistent and scientifically relevant God
understanding that fits our world. Please, just give me a name of one such
authority, ggoslaw@gmail.com. While I
await the flood of responses, I shall continue.
The authorized
Christian God thinking cave dwellers have a problem. They say, how can we speak
to the people in a manner that is relevant to modern science, particularly Darwin,
and at the same time remain glued to the historical doctrinal statements of the
faith and the Christian Church? This Church has demanded for thousands of years conformity to the creedal
statements as it labels all dissenters heretics and deserving of impoverishment
if not burning at the stake.
Who can
blame anyone with skin in the game for not bucking the religious system or systems? Not I but maybe this is why God has
consistently picked on the nobodies of this world to breed correction. We
nobodies have nothing to lose. The correction at issue is twofold, Jesus was the best nobody to have lived among us and he selflessly lived out his God given message. Second, our history as humans is of this
world not the story telling improvised genealogy of the Genesis account. This
is very simple and direct but the sparks will fly.
