Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge

I just love Albert Mohler's Blog. He deals with issues in the scholarly realm and deals with them unashamedly from a Biblical worldview. Today's Blog he cites USA Today's Tom Krattenmaker as saying:

A suggestion to creationists: Let science be science, and let religion prevail in the vast areas where science has little or nothing to offer. It's not as though science has an answer for everything of consequence. The purpose and meaning of life, the existence of good and evil and love and hate, the nature of a human soul and what becomes of it at death, the existence and will of the divine -- these are questions that belong to ethics, philosophy and, of course, religion.

Mohler then deals with the fact that science does not have some objective and morally neutral ability to view the "scientific evidence". Science is not dealing with evidence in some kind of vacuum. Science assumes naturalism and materialism. Then scientists try to act as if they are being humble by just letting the evidence point them in the direction we should go. This is sheer hypocrisy and elitistic snobbery.

Scientists may act as if they are humble in their assessments, but nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. White's blog from a few days ago played a clip of a man who acted humble because he thought it was too big a claim to say that the Bible is God's Word. Yet who is being humble? The Christian who allows God to speak and bends his knee to His authority, or the man who assumes God doesn't speak because everything has a naturalistic explanation?

What really perturbs me is the pompousness of naturalist's claims. He assumes he is neutral and objective. In other words, he thinks he has greater ability than God or is God. For only God is objective, but even God is not neutral. God is Holy and could be no other.

Man denies the truth of God all the while using the Christian worldview or borrowing from the "image of God" within him to gain knowledge. Man is a fool. For knowing God he neither gives thanks nor glorifies Him. Christians must stop cowering to the world and call men everywhere to not only repent of their immoral behavior but to also repent in their thinking and bow their knees to the one who is the source of knowledge and sound thinking.
