Secular Worldview Evil

The Secular Worldview explains that through evolution the world and its creatures are advancing. Destruction, death, disease and decay are merely temporary "setbacks" —the results of immature evolution—we just haven't advanced far enough yet. But evidence is exposing this fatally flawed view. It is becoming painfully clear that our collective technological, medical, and intellectual advancements cannot overcome the looming destructive forces —we can't even keep pace. New diseases, resistant viruses, terrorism, addictions, violence, crime and corruption in high places now indicate that... Man is now the endangered species.

The Classic Question of Evil

The enigma for Bible doubters and comfort for atheist:

IF God is All-good, All-wise, Almighty and He Created everything, THEN Where did the negative forces of death, destruction, disease and decay come from? IF God is Omnipresent, All-Powerful, All-Knowing and Rules every detail THEN How did evil get past Him and why does He allow it to thrive?

Charles Templeton, a Canadian gospel preacher, began to doubt the Genesis record and found, as all Bible doubters do, that unbelief is always progressive. More and more truths he once preached he could no longer believe himself. Before his death in 2001, Charles openly called himself an agnostic and confessed that this question made him doubt God's very existence. He and many others downplay creation truth and overlook the key embedded there.

What is Evil?

The classic problem of evil stems from faulty premises.

Evil is not an existence but an absence of good.
Death, for example, is not something —it is the absence of life. Decay is not an existence it is the deterioration of something good. You can't have evil or its consequences without first having something good. Evil is the destruction of that good existence. Evil cannot exist alone. A completely destroyed anything is nothing at all.

Why God Allows Evil

To understand why God allows evil to exist and even advance its dastardly work, we must look at God's big picture and His overall purposes. That's what the Biblical Worldview helps us do.
