An Atheist Because of Science

False Science

• 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

The Bible warns us that oppositions to God and his Word will come from "false science":  The "big bang" and "evolution" are blatantly false so called "theoretical sciences" (pagan imaginations) that destroy the minds of our youth.

• Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.

The Bible makes it clear that the heavens declare the glory of God, not some accidental cosmic burp, and the firmament (earth) shows His handywork, not the accumulation of unimaginably improbable accidents over great periods of time.

Vain Imaginations 

• Romans 1:21-25

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

A man once said: "God created us in his image, and we returned the favor". The Bible says there will be those who profess great wisdom, but will become utter fools. Science, the great god of this day, focuses its worship on the creature, not the Creator, and all this from the vain imaginations of men.

Man's Wisdom

God has a great deal to say about man's wisdom:

• 1 Corinthians 1:19-28

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Yes, God says He has made man’s wisdom foolish and will destroy it. The world did not even know God when He came in the flesh due to "man's wisdom". The Bible says that God chose the foolish things of this world to confound (make bewilderingly confused) the wise of this world. Did you know God only dedicated 1 chapter out of 1189 chapters in the Bible on the creation. Such is foolishness to Him. Those that reject God's Word (as many so-called Christians have today) are turned over to a reprobate (totally depraved) mind, and the reprobate mind will be confounded by what God considers foolish, such is His will.

Atheist says he's been booted from Boy Scouts

Darrell Lambert of Port Orchard, Washington holds the termination letter he received in the mail on November 6, 2002 from the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America revoking Lambert's registration as an adult scout leader. Lambert's membership has been rejected by the regional scouting executive after Lambert revealed in October that he was an atheist.

SEATTLE - A teenage atheist said he has been kicked out of the Boy Scouts for refusing to declare a belief in a higher power.

Darrell Lambert said he was told of the decision earlier Monday by the Chief Seattle Council, the Scouts' regional governing body.

"Am I bitter? No. Disappointed? Yeah," he said. "We're in the 21st century. Our country was founded on religious freedom, and the Boy Scouts of America are still discriminating."

Lambert said he plans to appeal the decision within the Scouting council within the required 60 days. He is a top-ranked Eagle Scout with 37 merit badges.

On membership applications, Boy Scouts and adult leaders must say they recognize a higher power, although not necessarily a religious one.

As a private organization, the Boy Scouts can bar anyone it chooses from membership. The organization's ban on gay leaders was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

Lambert, 19, said he has been an atheist since ninth grade, when he concluded that science had disproved the accounts of creation given in the Bible.

He had declared his atheism to the Scout leaders overseeing his Eagle Scout application last year, but was still granted the award.

"They commended me on my honesty," he said.

What about you? Do you trust in the "wisdom of men", or the "wisdom of God"?
