Might Makes Right?

If I remember correctly, a Bill, from South Carolina, called Rush's show today and said that the Constitution cannot be interpreted with original intent anymore than the Bible. We have advanced too far in technology and our modern understanding of the world and nature to resort to some 18th century politicians or 2000-year-old book.

I would love to ask this person to give us a reason to really believe that man has evolved in such a fashion so as to avoid eternal truths. Did the Nazis really avoid human sinfulness when experimenting on pregnant women? Was that purely science? When men use advanced technology (such as a car) to rob a bank, are they really beyond the eternal "Thou shalt nots"?

It is ironic that the Framers of the Constitution never thought of the "Rule of Law" as evolving. They did, however, see that times change and how that eternal rule would be applied in specific cases. Hence, a Constitution brilliantly made in order to account for changes. The Framers even used the Bible as their guide in their making of the Constitution, so they did not see the problem of using documents that were thousands of years old.

But there is an underlying worldview that needs to be dealt with. We must ask the "Bills" of this life, "What determines law?" If nine men in black robes determine what the meaning of the Constitution is, what if they decide a case in the favor of a conservative? Will Liberals and Leftists magically bow to the High Court’s decision?

Liberals in this country need to start thinking through their inconsistent worldview and see that their position leads to “Might makes Right”. When they see that they have lost in court, they immediately appeal to a higher authority and thereby borrow from the Christian Biblical worldview. Therefore “Bill from Carolina” needs to hear and learn why evolution is not true, his worldview is inconsistent and false, and that he needs to embrace the very thing he is opposed to, BIBLICAL TRUTH.
