Progressive Panic

A few nights ago on Fox News, a clip was shown of a Sarah Palin criticizer. With a panicky gasp, the individual wondered if the conservative movement would oppose the theory of evolution in public schools. From the Progressive perspective, (AKA Secular Humanism), this is a well-founded worry. That is because their agenda depends on cutting off the tether to a Creator. Flowing out of the acknowledgement that God has made us, and has revealed Himself to us, is an entire ideology that contradicts the worldview resting on designer gods or no gods at all.

The insistence that evolution is the single theory of beginnings has huge implications. The acceptance of its unscientific, unproven conclusions has interjected a particular religion, with all its tenets, into the State. This notion that a public religious view, not at all “neutral”, has set up shop in our midst is rejected by the ACLU and the proponents of public education. To anyone who thinks about it seriously, however, it is obvious.
The best illustration of this is in the realm of moral decision-making. The predominant theme for children in tax-supported schools is that each person decides for himself what is right or wrong. This is in contrast to having an “outside oneself” determiner of good. It is rarely noted, in the context of teaching relative ethics, that eventually this leads to conflicting conclusions, resolved by the one with the most power or biggest gun. Worked out in reality, we see a generation largely unable to acknowledge evil regimes, commit to marriage or pay what they owe.
The Progressives in power are faithful. They have been able to use our classrooms to proselytize at will, clutter up the understanding of what religion is, and (with slight-of-hand) put into place the State Church of their choosing. Ironically, their concept of freedom to choose may be highly selective, given only to those who agree with them.
From Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
