       King David penned in Psalm 14, “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good” (ESV). Indeed, there is no one in the world who is inherently good. All are initially evil. All are initially evil, and they only way for people to become good is to accept Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, as a payment for their sins, which then makes them good before God. Let’s go ahead and finish up the passage in Genesis chapter 3, which says, starting in verse 6: “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths” (Genesis 3:6, 7, ESV). So, we see here that Satan succeeded in getting Adam and Eve to want the fruit which was forbidden.

       If evolution is true, and there is no god (because remember that the Bible and evolution are not compatible; you have to have death occurring for evolution to work, and death doesn’t occur in the Bible until Genesis chapter 3), then there is no good, and there is no evil. Nothing people do is good and nothing they do is bad because good and evil are just figments of people’s imaginations. I still do not understand to this day why people who believe in evolution follow any rules. There is no good and evil under an evolutionary mindset. I don’t understand why they just don’t do what they want to do. And indeed, I guess some people do. King David penned in Psalm 14, “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good” (ESV). Indeed, there is no one in the world who is inherently good. All are initially evil.

Morality Comes from the Bible (TMF:1193)

       People decide what they want to believe; they form their morality from their own thoughts. But the issue here is that people differ on what they believe is right. No, we must use an ‘external’ source to determine morality. We don’t use our internal minds to determine our laws in this country. You cannot tell a police officer, “Well, I thought it was okay to do this or that.” The officer will ticket you based on the law. And so it is with morality. We understand morality by reading what the Bible says, by reading what God’s has penned in his Word. God is the one who decides true morality, not people. Understand that anything good comes from God. Just a couple chapters back, in Genesis chapter 1, we read, “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good” (ESV). God is the author of good.

People Create Their Own Morality (TMF:1192)

       And so, even though people know good and evil, they really know deep down right from wrong, as the Apostle Paul also told us, they make up their own morality to live by. And we can see this in our world today very easily. In our own country, we can see how people used to believe that fornication, two people engaging in sexual conduct, outside of marriage, used to be considered wrong. Nowadays, most people believe there is nothing wrong with it. They believe that fornication is good. And there are other areas where we can see this kind of degradation of morality. People decide what they want to believe; they form their morality from their own thoughts. But the issue here is that people differ on what they believe is right. No, we must use an ‘external’ source to determine morality. We don’t use our internal minds to determine our laws in this country.

Rejecting God as Creator of the World (TMF:1191)

Peace to Live By: Rejecting God as Creator of the World (TMF:1191) - Daniel Litton

       But then by the 1800s, a new theory emerged, the Theory of Evolution, which finished the job. It allowed people to not only reject God’s morality and order, but also to reject God as creator himself. Rather, evolution wants people to believe that the world we see today, all the intricate order and design, just came out of nothing. It just came into being from particles from outer-space. It becomes much more difficult to believe in evolution, it takes much more faith, than believing in God. Believing in evolution requires the earth to have won the lottery many times over, beating all odds trillions of times over and over again. It’s hard enough for just one person to win the lottery. And so, even though people know good and evil, they really know deep down right from wrong, as the Apostle Paul also told us, they make up their own morality to live by.
