Facts

Christian men need to be good thinkers and train others to be good thinkers. (I've written about this before.) You don't need to be a Ph.D. in anything to be competent to find facts and analyze situations and square them with a biblical worldview.

But you do need to deal with facts, even uncomfortable facts. There seems to be a growing unwillingness to do this in America. Dick Armey points out that in Congress today "Demagoguery beats data." This experiment has been done before, men, and we have seen nations fall.

So if you won't deal with facts, and you depart from a biblical worldview on the creation, fall, and redemption of man, then you shouldn't be surprised when a scientist gets a standing ovation for recommending that we use airborne Ebola virus to kill 90% of the humans on Earth in order to save it.
