Video Transcript: Critical Evolution Theory

Henry - We're back. Five, critical evolution theory. Is that really out there? What  critical evolution theory? I mean, we don't talk about very much, maybe it's  accepted. I think that everybody, like water we're swimming around. Generally  no. They're uncritical. They're in the critical evolution theory.  

Steve - You know, you'll hear people talk about how well in evolution, you know,  we were hunters and gatherers. And so because of that, we still don't want any  story about the history of man, millions of years. It doesn't say for those of you  who believe in this, and if you don't believe me, you're stupid. You're just  uninformed. So everything relates to evolution, or change, to those with the  power to abuse that power, do so at the expense of others. Go to the next one.  So the current social manifestations of this, our climate change, homo Deus, I'll  talk about that.  

Henry - And remember to remember that that whole evolution, the power of the  fittest, and evolving, everything is changing, right? We are evolving to another  identity of ourselves as a culture and people. Right?  

Steve - And so the past is gone. So things like religion, we should have evolved  out of that by now. Right? Because that was old system, power, abuse, that  power at the expense of others. Yeah, we Yeah. You know, the whole Middle  Ages, the church abused everybody by taking the power and using God as the  club to keep everyone in line. And now we have evolved to the point where  those are just fables, and we don't need to do that anymore. And everyone's  free to evolve into the person that they potentially could be. And that's up to you, yourself.  

Henry - Hegel was a Philosopher right before Darwin, and he talks about the  dialectic changes in the world, the stages of humanity was the religious dialectic  is passing away, the superstitious is passing away. And then the next, the  enlightened, we get to a higher place. And ultimately, utopia is built. It's getting  better and better. We're evolving into so even in the world of gender, is queer  theory philosophically, believe that male and female are evolving into other  genders. And that's part of the whole dialectic the whole human development as  we identify as male or female. 

Steve - that we've been stuck in this binary world where it's this or that. And  now it's all. 

Henry – A more better option is it really is assuming I remember Roy Clouser a  philosopher here to talk about, there's an assumption of evolution. That is a  logical fallacy. It's the assumption that you will evolve better.Yeah, evolved, and 

then we had World War I and then we had World War II. If we are involving to  other genders, he might say philosophically that could be evil. It was all set up  binary and now is evolving. How do we know the better? There's an assumption  you make that all is getting better? And Dr. Clouser talks about how great  assumptions are. Well, people are taller and everything but that's still not. With  Einstein talking about the law, the second law of thermodynamics, it says,  Everything is devolving. So what is it? You know, like your house does it get  better and better. Right? Right. If you don't do anything to it, it gets worse. And  so why would genetic biology do better? Or why would the rodent anyway?  

Steve - So Homo Deus is the name of the book. To be fascinating book homo  means man are human beings. Deus is God. In that book, the author's  suggesting that human beings have been plagued with big issues like war and  famine and disease, and that we basically taken care of those I mean, they're  still here, but they're nothing like what they used to be and so human beings are  looking for a greater cause and these greater cause is to live forever, right? So  biology, you know, nano biology, all these things replacing your heart your liver.  Soon they'll replace everything. And the goal is to live forever. And then, of  course, the planet is going to the sun is going to burn out eventually. So  ultimately, we have to get off the planet if humanity is going to continue. And so  the whole thing of getting to Mars, we got to learn how to get off this planet  because it's going nowhere. Alright, so the winner is a new writer. Okay? So  here's all we have, life is all we have. But the problem is everything dies. So we  need to be saved. If you don't believe in God's salvation, you have to find the  surrogate. Okay, and I think that people have looked at the planet and humanity  as this surrogate salvation, right, that we used to talk about being saved and  eternal life problem. For you our mortality, and our are following sin, which leads  to death, and how do we get out of this? Well, we need a savior, we need  salvation. But now, we've evolved out of that. And so now, but we need, I think,  part of our DNA that God put in us is this need to be saved? Right? And so you  know, the planet becomes the new salvation. And one of the priestesses of the  new planet, being the place to get saved is Greta Thunburg. And she writes,  humanity is now standing at the crossroads, we must now decide which path we want to take. How do we want the future living conditions for all living species to  be live? And then in Time Magazine, this was the title of the article, St. Greta  spread the climate gospel of December 12, 2019. A movement that believes in  sin, penance and salvation doesn't sound very scientific. It's been noted before  that the cause of addressing climate change has become something like the  modern world's version of a secular religion, in much of Europe, especially but in sections of American society too, a kind of climate theology has replaced  traditional Christianity as the ultimate source of authority over human behavior  compromised, comprising both and all embracing teleology, teleology, teleology, 

teleology of our existence, and a prospective moral code. Wow, the new religion  of climate change. Yeah, and you can see people are, you know, passionate  about it. They believe this cause is the one thing that, you know, if we go one  way, or the other way, it's gonna make all the difference that nothing else  compares to it, nothing else matters. We're just, you know, making wind for not  dealing with something like this. And people that don't care about it are like  atheists of old or the skeptics or the unbelievers, and must be dealt with,  

Henry - right and are delighting in the assumption that we're all evolving. And  that humanity is known throne of God. And we are evolving into a god like that to do with yes, you will be like God, we are evolving not just biological, evolving, or  social, evolving or historical, but we are evolving as a culture. 

Steve – And our place our heaven is this earth, right? So it becomes elevated to  the highest degree because without that, none of the other evolutions can  happen. Right? We need a place to evolve in. And so that has been raised to the highest level. The book home ideas, you know, all of our major problems, as I  said, have been solved. But there's one last challenge eternal life. And so that's  the thing that we're working on in terms of nanotechnologies, and all these,  

Henry - these are really happening. Yeah, I mean, people, humanists with large  resources are funding.  

Steve - Elon Musk is all his money on going to Mars, right? And why? It's not  just because he wants to go to Mars? No, it's because of the philosophy behind  it, the worldview, that ultimate evolution of our species is dependent on us  getting off the planet, right. So but there's some problems with all of this.  Number one, we talked about global warming, although people change it to  global change, used to be called a global, but our problem is going to be global  freezing because the sun is going to burn out eventually anyway. And then what  do we do? So that;s the need to get off this planet. And number two, you and I  will miss the biological ETERNAL LIFE miracles people come up with, right? So  what good is it going to do? You and I, or all the people that are living today. So  ultimately, what I find interesting is we're fighting like crazy for the salvation of  humanity and of the planet. But that doesn't relate to anybody that's alive.  Right?  

Henry - So it's just like a worldview narrative, some Utopian narrative that  applies to almost no one. Again, I would say, from a Christian standpoint, we  believe we are the stewards, we believe that we are to protect the planet, right?  We were to be not against the planet developments that were in fact that word  and be fruitful and multiply, subdue the earth. That's similar to the New 

Testament word to be a deacon. Minister. You're serving the planet. And so  we're planning development deacons. Yes. So we are, we are careful about not  polluting the climate. And I've, I've seen progress. And when we were kids, the  Detroit River was on fire. And there was pollution everywhere, you couldn't have  fish out of the Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan, and I remember and now it's  getting I'm not saying all panacea and everything. But what's happened is, we  are making efforts. And it's clear we are as a culture in every state and society.  In some states, less than some states more, but there's also a worldview  attached to a very important issue of protecting the planet, that, that this like the  vehicle they're using to sell a religion?  

Steve - Yes. Whereas we believe in protecting the planet. Yeah. But it's tied to a  mandate that God gave Adam originally in the garden to till the earth and take  care of it. Yeah. So it's, it's just, what are you going to the care of the planet?  Which theology Are you going to attach it to? That's what we're arguing against,  right? I guess, that the world seems to be attaching it to its own evolutionary  view of the species, and humanity, taking God out of the equation,  

Henry – And who is, the Christian church is not we're promoting that God  created this world created this world, we are stewards of this world, we have a  responsibility to be stewards of this world. And we don't see people from even  raw, primitive evolution, where it's just survival of the fittest, to who will be the  fittest that get to afford the jet, or aircraft to go to some more Star. Really, you  think about that, if you really think this through, then it truly is evolution, like  10,000, people will have the means to get out of the way of the sun and who  would they take? The lowest? I doubt it. So it really becomes a world of like  Darwin tallked about the critical evolution theory ultimately means that only the  very rich can. The survival of the fittest.  

Steve - Right. The gospel is the survival of those who rely on the grace of God  through what Jesus did on the cross.  

Henry - And that's really where this salvation is found in no one else, there is no  other name under having given to mankind by which we must be saved. So,  critical evolution theory, really, it's a cold, dark theory of power. And then it's now been, you know, sophisticated into the global warming or climate change  agenda. But at the end of the day, critical grace is where God created this world. We are to be stewards and we want to take care of this beautiful planet.
