Secular World: Christianity Vs. Evolutionary Atheism
_____________________________________________________________________________
Abstract
-------------------------------------------------
In this paper we look at the secular world’s presentation in dating and mating and compare and contrast the perspectives with the Biblical view. The secular worlds view is built from several perspectives. There are also differences that the culture could bring into the picture. However, in this paper in regards to the secular we will look primarily from the perspective of evolutionary atheism. The atheistic view presents perspective built from the assumption that there is no God and we are merely animals that are bound by whatever allows us to survive. In contrast, for this paper, the opposing view is non-evolutionary Biblical Theism. This perspective presupposes there is a God which has revealed truth through the scriptures. It is with the scriptures, …show more content…
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visits him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands :”(Hebrews 2:5-7 KJV).
Mating from an evolutionary standpoint is part of the process of natural selection (Myer, 2010). In the evolution from ape to human Donahue says, “Having more babies meant that more survived, and a better survival rate meant a better chance of surviving as a species” (Donahue, 1985, p.33). Thus we begin to see the reason for mating in this perspective. Biblically speaking, however, procreation is a blessing to fill the earth (Genesis 1:27-28). The reason for mating is for man to have a helpmate, abstain from sexual immorality, and portray Christ and the Church (Genesis 2:18), (1 Corinthians 7:2),( Ephesians
