Pond Scum

Who in their right mind would give up his or her life for some modified pond scum? No one, of course, and most certainly not someone with a lot of power (like the God of the universe). It just does not make sense under evolutionary assumptions to believe that Jesus died to save us. Jesus is God, the Creator and King of the universe. According to evolution, people are just modified pond scum – ultimately worthless. Yes, if we take evolution to its logical conclusions people are not special, unique, amazing treasures but mere worthless pond scum. Besides, assuming evolution, there would be nothing for Jesus to save us from because death would be normal and natural, not a consequence of sin.

Have you ever noticed how much propaganda there is on self-esteem in America today? There is so much talk about self-worth that some people don’t even want to hear about sin, they want to hear about how everyone is a winner, how to find their “inner self”, and following their heart. Many people have also adopted relativistic views – everyone is right because we have to promote self esteem, and saying that something is wrong might damage another person’s self image. It’s no wonder that people have problems with depression, addictions, suicide, and abortion since most people are being taught evolution (which pretty much says that we are worthless) from kindergarten! The Bible has a solution for our “self-image” problems; It teaches us that we are specially created in the image of God and that we are fallen and in need of the redemption He so graciously offers.
