There are two major views of life—the view of the believer and the view of the infidel. The believer’s position is simple: God created man in his own image (Genesis 1:27). Man is the offspring of God and is to conduct himself accordingly. The atheistic view is that man merely evolved from slime and is no better morally or spiritually than a diseased rat. What is the product of the two views?

When men conduct their lives from a spiritual perspective, good always follows. Hospitals are built, colleges are formed, and crime rates always drop. On the other hand, when people are robbed of their self-respect that comes from knowing we are the handiwork of God, the crime rate goes up, illegitimate pregnancies increase, and the drug problem becomes uncontrollable. Do you wonder why there are so many major problems in America today? Well, it grows from the evil tree of evolutionary thought. To deny this fact is to bury one’s head in the sand.
