Most of us who grew up watching the Peanut Holiday specials know the story. Charlie Brown's friend Linus waits in the Pumpkin Patch on Halloween for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. The Great Pumpkin will come with a bag of toys for the most sincere believer. Of course, the Great Pumpkin never arrives. But Linus will not give up on his belief. Someday he will be the most sincere.
This is the thinking of the Post Modern culture of today. If I am sincere enough in what I believe, whatever I believe will be true for me. Surprisingly, this even appears to be the case for some of the brightest "fact based" minds in our world today when it comes to Darwinism. They apparently believe if they are sincere enough, and look hard enough, Darwinism must be true. This is because they believe there is no other choice.
They still search for Darwin's missing link despite a hundred years of fossil evidence to the contrary, and they gloss over insurmountable problems like irreducible complexity. But worse they force their theological theories as fact on hapless school students sometimes needing the backing of the courts to force compliance. All because they just can't see that there is a designer in the beauty of creation. When our greatest minds are still sitting in their own self made Pumpkin Patches looking to see who is most sincere in their belief that there is no God each October 31st, who needs ghosts and goblins. Happy Halloween!
