Tom the Preacher

Monday, July 21st, marks the 100-year anniversary of what I believe to be one of the most significant trials in American history.
It didn't have 24-hour cable news coverage, but it was the first trial to ever be broadcast nationally on live radio. Although the trial was held in a small town in Tennessee, the celebrity attorney for the defense hailed from Chicago, and the prosecutor was a three-time presidential candidate. Books, a Broadway play, and movies have been made about this trial. Have you heard of it?
It's popularly known today as "The Scopes Monkey Trial."

John Scopes was charged with violating state law by teaching that humans came from monkeys. He was convicted and fined $100. But though "the evolutionists" lost the case, they won in the court of public opinion, for they successfully advanced a narrative that those who believed the Biblical account of creation were a bunch of uneducated, red-necked, hillbillies, summarized in a term used in their day -- yokels.

"Science" had conquered the Bible. Modernity had dealt a fatal blow to faith. Embarrassed and humiliated, many who continued to believe in the infallibility of Scripture retreated from the public square into their own separate world, seeking to remain unstained by the world. Within two generations, America had become a "secular" nation. To this day, we continue to see the effects of this Scopes decision in our schools as well as the broader culture.

I recently sat down to have an in-depth discussion with Dr. Richard Suplita about the Scopes trial and its impact on our nation. I think it's well worth listening to if you are concerned about the waning effect of the church upon our broader culture and how some believers are rising up to right that ship.

Upon discovering I reject Darwinian evolution as an explanation for the origin of the diverse life on this planet, skeptical students sometimes look bewildered and ask, "Do you even believe in science?" I do, but when faced with evidence for special creation, I sometimes wonder if they "believe in science," or just in evolution.

Those who "believe in science and don't believe in God" are fond of saying we creationists simply believe in "the God of the gaps." This phrase, "the God of the gaps," implies that whenever we can't explain a mystery of nature, rather than continuing to seek an answer through scientific research and experimentation, we cop out by attributing it to God. To the contrary, I assert that those who resort to the "God of the gaps" criticism refuse to acknowledge God even when it is overwhelmingly obvious that the evidence points directly to Him.

It's commonly believed that people who believe in evolution do so because of science, whereas people who believe in creation do so because of religion. Years of personal interactions with evolutionists have taught me that's not really the case.

Some people try to reconcile a belief in "science" (i.e. evolution) with Genesis by saying they're both true. But there are some serious theological problems with evolution, including how one addresses the problem of suffering and death in our world.

It's easy to neglect dedicated specific prayer. Why? Because it's so powerful and our enemy wants to make sure you don't prayer. So, if you have a need (and I know you do), join me for 15 minutes of prayer that God can and will answer. And when He does, you'll never be the same!!!
