Your Worldview Is Illogical
If you believe in evolution, if you are an atheist, then your worldview is illogical. That’s right, I’m calling you out on your worldview. If you really believe that we evolved from nothing, that nothing created everything, your worldview is illogical. It makes no sense. Never in your life have seen something create itself out of nothing. This is illogical and intelligent students attending a university like Missouri State University should know better, no matter what atheistic professors are telling you.
Nothing did not create everything and if you believe in evolution, this is where you ultimately start from is a position of something creating itself out of nothing. That nothing created everything. It is utter foolishness. It is nonsense. Your worldview is illogical. Nothing that you or I see, feel, touch, smell or hear is created from itself or came from nothing by itself. Even if you could “create” something new right now, it really wouldn’t be a new creation.
Oh you can make things, you can make things from existing materials. But you can’t make something out of nothing. Even if you could produce something right here on the spot, you would be using God’s air, His earth, the materials that He has supplied us. But you and I do not have the power to create anything out of nothing. If you think this all created itself out of nothing, then your worldview is illogical.
Christian Worldview
Now from a Christian worldview, an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present being created everything and that makes sense. A supreme Creator could have created the universe and everything in it and He did. God is the great Creator God of Heaven and earth. God created the animals (each after their kind, not evolved into different species) and human beings on day six of the six literal days of creation. Almighty God created human beings after His own image!
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth (Genesis 1:26-28). Everything made itself from nothing – illogical. An all-powerful Creator creating everything – very logical. By the way, you can see in Genesis 1:26-27 that God is not confused. He made us male and female. Two genders and only two genders and He made us in His very own image. There’s no confusion, at least not on God’s part.
Everything Is Relative
Atheists like my friend Quinn (yes, I consider him a friend even though he says I’m not his friend) say that everything is relative. But do atheists really believe this? Is it all relative if someone comes up to an atheist and steals their wallet? Is it all relative if someone rams your car on purpose, in a carjacking and puts a gun to your head and demands you get out of your car? Are you really going to tell the carjacker that his hitting your car is all relative? That the gun in his hand is all relative? Of course not.
But my absolute favorite is atheists say everything is relative. So you believe what you believe and I’ll believe what I believe? This is what they claim. So then why do they get so upset over Jesus Christ? Why does Jesus make them mad? Why do they go berserk at the mention of His name? I’ve seen it time and time again, atheist get fighting mad over what they say is a myth? Why is that? It makes no sense.
An older gentleman stood over there between me and the fountain one day and he shook his fists up in the sky and screamed at the top of his lungs “God, if you are real strike me dead right now.” When he didn’t die immediately, he yelled, see, there is no God. I replied to him that sadly one day he will get his wish. God will strike him dead and when he goes straight to Hell he will regret spending his life on earth, mocking the very God that he knows, painfully, excruciatingly painfully knows is real.
There Are No Absolutes
Even my friend Quinn says everything is relative that there are no absolutes. So why does he stand next to me reading Green Eggs and Ham trying to drown out the preaching? If everything is relative, why does he feel the need to do that? Why does he get so upset over what he says is a myth? His worldview is not logical.
Beyond that, his worldview and yours too if you are an atheist, your worldview is not only illogical, it is inconsistent. That’s right, I’m calling you out on your atheistic worldview as being inconsistent. You say everything is relative, do you believe this? Is God real? No, you say? Are you sure? Yes. Are you absolutely sure? Yes, I’m absolutely sure. Then you are making an absolute statement from a relativistic worldview. Your worldview is illogical and it is inconsistent.
Illogical, Inconsistent, Thief And Liar
You can’t have absolutes in a relativistic worldview. As a Christian, I stand on absolutes. There is absolute truth. There is absolute right and wrong. When you try to make an absolute statement from a relativistic worldview, you have to come over to my worldview and steal absolutes from my side. So not only is your worldview illogical and inconsistent, but it also makes you a thief. In addition to that, your worldview contradicts itself, so you can add liar to your list of problems.
I could continue on about the second law of thermodynamics and talk about entropy (how things wear out or get worse over time, not stronger and better), but this isn’t the real issue. The real issue is sin. You don’t want to believe in a great Creator God because you don’t want to be accountable to Him. You don’t want to admit that God is righteous, Holy and just and that you are a sinner.
Atheists Love Their Sins
No, atheists and all God mockers don’t want to admit reality because they love their sins. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved (John 3:18-20).
Atheists claim there is no God because they don’t want to be subject to God. They say God is not real because they love their sins. They don’t come to Jesus because their deeds are evil. You don’t want to be called out on your sins. You don’t want to hear that you are an idolater, sexually immoral person, that lusts, covets, lies and steals. No, you don’t want to be confronted over your sinful lifestyle. You’d much rather continue on in your sins, pretending God is not real.
God Is Real
Oh, but God is real and He is all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present. God has seen every single sin that you have ever thought, spoken or committed and He will hold you accountable for your sins. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14).
There is judgment to come. That’s why God commands everyone to repent and put their faith in Jesus. The times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent: Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead (Acts 17:30-31).
God Commands You To Repent
Do not be deceived today. The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Our Holy, righteous, just God commands you to repent. It’s not a suggestion, it’s a command! You need to repent because He has appointed the day of judgment and He is going to judge the world against the righteousness of Jesus. Yes, Jesus, the sinless Son of God that took on the sins of the world. He took the punishment that guilty sinners like us deserve.
You and I are sinners. We are sinful creatures. All of us have rebelled against God. Not a single one of us are good. We have all sinned against God and fallen short of His glory, of His perfect standard. There is nothing that you can do on your own to get back in a right relationship with God. You can’t be good enough or sorry enough to wipe out any of your sins.
But God…
But God demonstrated His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). You can only be made right with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only mediator between God and sinful human beings. You can only be just or justified through Christ alone. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).
Oh, you can be cleansed from your unrighteousness. Your sins can be forgiven. If you repent from your sins and surrender your life to Jesus Christ the Lord. Stop mocking God. Quit hating the very God you say doesn’t exist. Repent from your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ. Go from where you’ve made yourself an enemy to God to having peace with God. There is peace found in Christ. Salvation is of the Lord. Call upon the name of Jesus today and be saved. Repent from your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ.
You Know God Is Real
Please, stop rushing down the path of your illogical worldview. You know God is real. He has given you a conscience. You know right from wrong because of your God-given conscience. God has also written His law upon your heart. Again, you know right from wrong. You also know that nothing did not create everything. You can look around at creation and know that God is real.
Quit putting yourself in place of God. Stop breaking the first and second commandments. You are to have no other little g gods before (or above) the one true God and you are not to make an image of a little g god for yourself. Whatever you love the most in this life is your god. Whatever you spend your time, money and talents (and that’s God-given talents) on is your god.
Lie Of Evolution
Stop swallowing the lie of evolution. Quit worshiping the false god of your own creation. Recognize that you are a sinner. Admit your sins to God. Cry out for Him to forgive you. Repent from your sins and surrender your life fully and completely to Jesus Christ the Lord. He is Lord, Lord of all. Bow your knee, confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord. Call upon the precious name of Jesus and be saved. Repent and believe the Gospel. Do this today and start your new life in Christ Jesus.
(Footnote: The Second Law Of Thermodynamics – it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system – stated by livescience.com. This is the opposite of survival of the fittest, that everything is getting better and better. We don’t get better with age. We wear out. Your clothes wear out, your car wears out. The universe will wear out. Evolution is a lie. Don’t believe the lie. Trust the truth. Jesus is the truth. Repent from your sins and trust Jesus.)
