Christianity vs. Humanism Those who embrace humanism either don't believe in a supreme being who created all things good or they believe that if there is a supreme being, he, she, or it is not involved in our daily lives. They believe that evolution is merely a process of the earth. If these things are true then the only thing we can do is eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die. This way of thinking is non-productive. It is as destructive as evolution without a loving God--look at any building, machine, living thing, etc.--left to itself it deteriorates till it falls apart. Whereas if there is a loving God watching over all--evolution is meant to help the living things adapt to their surroundings for the purpose of survival. The nature of our loving God is to work with the challenged party until the outcome is victory. It is the humanistic viewpoint that has caused life on planet earth to get more and more difficult to cope with. It is this viewpoint that is causing the increase in pain and heartache. If there is no loving God in charge of things, then inevitably selfishness is god. The Christian viewpoint is that a loving God created the earth and everything in it. And it was good. Man's wrong choice--their choice to do what they wanted to do instead of what God (God is love--love always does the right thing because the right thing produces good.) told them to do, brought about all that is bad. But a loving God is still offering love. He sent his Son who made all the right choices and then offered himself in the stead of all those who made wrong choices so that they can make the right choice which is to receive the Him and new life. This loving God is behind true evolution--evolution is only true in the sense of adaptation--the same God who created everything good is the same God who causes things to adapt to their surroundings and be able to survive until the time when God's Son comes back to oversee the choices made throughout the earth and make all things right. God ordained that everything produces after its own kind, so apes do not turn into people, etc. The humanistic world view encourages selfishness--the loving God worldview encourages people to follow love, and to heed God's guidance, and it also provides for all of mankind's needs to be met. © Sylvia Huffnagle
