I have been reading a lot about how the Darwinian evolutionary theory is infiltrating every area of day-to-day life, and it saddens me that so many otherwise solid Christians are buying into this. I confess that I hold concepts that don't jive with a Biblical worldview, and conduct a "search and destroy" mission when I become aware of those concepts. As long as I can remember. I have been an ardent believer in a literal 6-day creation that happened some 6,000 years or so ago, but did not realize that there is a way to approach those who believe in Darwinian evolution using the same evidence used to 'prove' that theory.
I brought that up because, for me, there was not a need to convince me that what the Bible said about Creation, the Flood, or the Resurrection was true. I based my belief on the fact that the Bible is God's Word and if HE said it, it was true. Sadly, too many Christians today try to accomodate what they see as "science" and make the Bible fit whatever the prevailing theory being presented is. This was even done concerning the concept that the Earth was flat. Many historians present Christians as being the main supporters of a "flat Earth", but it was only a few out spoken radicals that ended up getting this label applied to all members of the Church. Most Christians of that era believed that the Earth was round or spherical, as noted in Isaiah 40:22. This is one example of how the secular worldview overrode the Biblical one.
Another example of an issue that the secular worldview has triumphed over the Biblical way of thinking is abortion. A recent poll shows that 86% of Americans would significantly restrict abortion, yet it is the law of the land.
As Christians, we need to not hide our light under a bushel, because an issue might come up that affects you and no one will be there to help. Standing together against the erosion of the moral standard that is written in the Bible is OUR job as a body of believers, and as separate parts of that body we need to use the talents that God has given us to heal the land we live in. As an acorn grows in a mighty oak, so your efforts will grow into a landslide of public opinion that can cause a change in the staus quo of the land.
