I watched a program last night on TV about the earths beginnings...of course the only options they provided were all diametrically opposed to the idea of a personal creator (horrors) i.e. studiously non-religious, yet their 'theories' all sounded very sci-fi and rather metaphysical to me. Scientism masquerading as science once more. But the one unifying thread linking all the disparate philosophies and theoretical inanities that leaped out at me was how these 'experts' viewed humanity. From the evolutionary advocates, and the 'star-dust pollinators' to the believers in panspermia (alien influence) all uniformly held humanity in utter contempt. The one says we have evolved from slime in a random haphazard way, another believes that we are no more important than the lowliest creature, environmentalists think of us as the earths greatest virus whilst the alien believers pontificate that if said master race were to actually visit they would no doubt look upon us with the same contempt that we view the ant with.
At church service this morning we heard of how wonderfully and magnificently we were created and what marvellous creatures we actually are...I tend to hold with the latter view, and in keeping with the golden rule, I believe that it is only when we can view ourselves in this regard that we can love others as well.
Funny how the 'progressives' are always talking about love yet do not appear to see the disjunction between what they preach and what they believe.
"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” C. S. Lewis
