I just read this critique in the Remnant. The article, by Chris Jackson, was written to expose the hypocrisy of the leftist media. Earlier this month GQ Magazine had an interview with Florida Senator Mark Rubio, a Catholic, who has stated that he believes in the Biblical account of creation, and that schools should have the freedom to teach it. The cynical interviewer asked Rubio how old he thought the earth was. You know, it’s a standard question for anyone serving their country in politics, right? When the senator did not give the evolutionist answer of “millions of years” he was dragged to the court of “corrective orthodoxy,” found guilty of heresy, and sentenced to a media lynching. The Remnant piece provided a link to Jackson’s previous article about the November senate race in Connecticut being fought by a pro-abortion incumbent and a pro-abortion Republican challenger — both with very Irish names by the way, so presumably “Catholic.” During one of their debates each was asked when they thought life begins, and both answered, “at birth.” How brilliant is that? And so scientific!! Yes, Jackson proved his point in spades: Pro-abortion politicians, who want to represent and help govern American citizens, get away with promoting the long-disproved notion of spontaneous generation: a non-living fetus suddenly becomes a living human when it leaves the mother’s womb. Non-life begets life. Apparently they never heard of Louis Pasteur. Being stupid, however, is no obstacle for entering political office and getting a good rating from the leftist media. But the sound scientific stand of a logical pro-lifer is ridiculed as unreasonable. In Rubio’s case, it was not his pro-life stand, but his belief in creation that earned him media scorn. Again, a perfectly logical belief, sans holy scripture, because natural reason sees the self-evident principles: first, that something cannot come from nothing; second, order cannot come from chaos not matter how much time is involved; and, third, life cannot come from non-life. Put axiomatically: the effect cannot be greater than the cause. A Creator, who is eternal, self-existent, and infinite, who is the First Cause of all, giving purpose to all things created, who made living things and gave the breath of life to man, made in His image and likeness for an eternal destiny in heaven, is needed to explain the existence of contingent reality. To bring order out of any kind of chaos, a mind is needed that has an intended design. Genesis simply makes sense. God brings matter into existence where, before, there was nothing. Then, He brings order by forming the matter into things, light, sun, moon, stars, earth, water, plants, animals, and finally man. There was no intelligent purpose in creation until there was a being with reason who had an immortal soul that would use all lesser creation and contemplate God in His works. The proverbial question, therefore, is easily answered: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Answer: the chicken. The Remnant (Nov 28): Left wing media pundits were aghast this month. GQ magazine, that journal of serious political discourse, conducted an interview with Republican Senator Marco Rubio. In case you decided to check out from politics after Election Day (and I don’t blame you if you did), Rubio is one of the front-runners for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. Here is Jackson’s full article, “Thought Control and the Scientific Hypocrisy of the Left”
