The Walls of Jericho

Our world opposes God. The theory of evolution attempts to explain our existence apart from God. Science cannot explain many things, and our world is okay with that as long as the explanation does not involve God. This is true when we try to explain consciousness, our thoughts and whether we have a soul. This is true when we try to understand what life is. It is glaringly obvious when we try to discuss origins and how to teach origins in our public schools. This is not new. Thousands of years ago, the Psalmist wrote: 1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? 2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. (Psalm 2:1-2) [i] What happens in the public arena also happens in our private lives. There are people and situations that oppose the knowledge of God in our lives. There are attitudes and habits within us that oppose the knowledge of God in our lives.
