I have been saying for years that the real debate is one based on worldview. The Biblical Christian worldview that America was founded on and the Progressives who follow the humanist worldview. Now comes the debate:
The "Boxing Match of the Millenium," a head-to-head debate that pits the teachings of Reformation leader John Calvin, born 500 years ago this year, and evolutionist theory author Charles Darwin, born 200 years ago this year, is being planned during the Reformation 500 Celebration in Boston starting July 1.
It's far more than just a clash of words.
"We're trying to point out that there needs to be a debate, a public discussion on the elitist philosophy that currently dominates and would suppress that debate," said Doug Philips, president of Vision Forum Ministries, the sponsor.
"And we're trying to point out that there are two world views, one largely coming from Christianity and the second from evolutionary humanism. … The future of our nation really rests in part on how we respond," he said.
And here is how the sides match up:
"No two men of the millennium have done more to shape the thoughts of mankind or to affect the political and social destiny of nations than Calvin and Darwin – the former for great good and the glory of God, and the later for unimaginable evil," Philips said.
"The children of Calvin and the Reformers gave us the rise of nation states that embraced republican representative government. The children of Darwin gave us Marxism and totalitarianism," Phillips explained. "Calvin's legacy included respect for life, a defense of the biblical family, and the rule of law under God. Darwin's philosophical progeny introduced the world to the horrors of eugenics and legalized widespread abortion on demand.
"Where Calvin insisted that law was transcendent, being created by God for the good of man and as a reflection of his unchanging righteousness, the followers of Darwin would insist that laws evolve, that the Bible is non-applicable to matters of the state, and the transcendent standards of morality do not even exist," Philips said.
My commentary on the Declaration of Independence, that is scheduled for 10AM July 4 at the Davison County Court House in Mitchell, will get into the Biblical principles used in the Declaration, and I will also bring out the Progressives movement who are out to destroy the Natural Law foundation and replace it with a "living" Darwinian state controlled system that says forget God, man can evolve into an Utopian society without Him.You will find links tp some of my research under the Natural Law section of my sidebar.
