If youre a Christian, prepare for even greater marginalization. The cultural war is lost in the greater society and secularism based on pseudo-science reigns supreme. In the 80s, Carl Sagans thirteen-part television series, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, established itself in Western minds with canonical status. The executives at FOX Broadcasting (its not the conservative media you think it is) will now reinforce the hegemony of technocracy and scientific materialism with a new TV series: Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. is.gd/S6y27f If you believe in a historical Genesis account, prepare for ridicule heaped on ridicule from the public. Is the account of Genesis important? Listen to the late Francis A. Schaeffer: Another way to fall into an evangelical existentialism* is to reat the first half of Genesis the way the existential theologian treats the whole Bible. The first half of Genesis is history, space-time history, the Fall is a space-time Fall, or we have no knowledge of what Jesus came to die for and we have no way to understand that God is really a good God. Our whole answer to evil rests upon the historic, space-time Fall. There was a time before man revolted against God. The internal evidence of Genesis and the external evidences (given in the New Testament by the way the New Testament speaks of the first half of Genesis) show that the first half of Genesis is really meant to be space-time history. We must understand that here we are dealing with history--that is, space and time, the warp and woof of history. ________________________ * ...is the attitude if not the words, Dont ask questions, just believe. This sort of attitude was always wrong, but it is doubly wrong today (1974) when we are surrounded with a monolithic consensus which divides reason from non-reason. We must call each other away from this idea. It is not more spiritual to believe with asking questions. It is not more biblical. It is less biblical and eventually it will be less spiritual because the whole man will not be involved.
