Liberal Secular Politics Science Based?
Before you answer, consider this regarding the Theory of Evolution.
Start with nothing . . . absolutely nothing. No air. No matter . . . not even an atom. No energy. No space. No thought. No time. Just a long dead silence. This is the evolutionist’s reality before the dawn of something becoming everything. At some infinitesimal moment in time all the stuff that makes up our world came into being. That doesn’t sound the least bit scientific to me.
Former Newsweek editor Howard Fineman said that the Republican Party has become “a ‘faith-based,’ ‘Bible-based’ political organization. Fineman also derided Paul Ryan as untrustworthy when it comes to considering science:
“[Ryan] starts every consideration of public policy, not from the standpoint of science, but from the standpoint of faith.”
I’m quite sure Mr. Fineman considers his statement as derogatory. I don’t.
There is no human dignity in the evolutionary worldview. It’s dog-eat-dog, survival of the fittest. The further political regimes get away from a “faith-based” worldview that has the personal God at its core the closer they get to tyranny.
Science as it’s taught today cannot make moral judgments. Science can only conclude how atoms line up, how hot or cold something is, or how fast something travels. Science can’t say if genocide is morally right or wrong or whether taxing the rich is good or bad for the economy. Science can only publish the body count of the dead and the amount of money that’s collected from tax payers.
The only thing that is keeping America from going over the cliff is a faith-based, Bible-based worldview. Our founders understood this, even those who had strong objections to some of the Bible’s doctrines. The Declaration of Independence makes it clear that “rights” were an endowment from the Creator and not a gift from the State.
Science doesn’t know a thing about rights.
Where is the science in the economic policies of Obama and the Democrats? How is taking money from some people and passing it along to other people pass for moral rectitude and sound public policy?
