Naturalism’s Worldview of Authority:

Naturalists see several assumed “axioms” as being the chief cornerstones of authority in their faith.

First, they assume Rationalism, which becomes the foundation for making other rationalizations, establishing other axioms, and speculating on whatever the Naturalists desire to be the truth.

From this basis of Rationalism, Naturalists assume Materialism (there is no God and there is nothing spiritual including the spirit of man), Naturalism (there is no spiritual explanation for anything), and Uniformitarianism (all things continue from the beginning as they are now; there was no creation and no flood, and there will be no coming judgment).  In a beautiful example of circular reasoning, Naturalists have successfully fooled millions into believing that these three assumptions are the basis of science and then using these three assumptions to prove these three assumptions.  They seek to prove that there is no God, there is nothing spiritual including the spirit of man, there is no spiritual explanation for anything, and all things continue from the beginning as they are now; there was no creation and no flood, and there will be no coming judgment.  But those were the assumptions that they started with.  That is circular reasoning.

Since evolutionism collapsed under modernism in the seventies, Naturalists have increasingly been forced to embrace the dogmas of Post Modernism.  Post Modernism allows Naturalists to live with the fact that they cannot find a set of assumptions under which evolution would be possible.  With Post Modernism’s concept of relativism (there is no truth and there is nothing wrong with deception because there is no lie), they can live with their “no God” dogma in spite of the obvious foolishness of this dogma.  Naturalistic dogmas require an inconsistency of thought that Rationalism, Chaos Theory and Compartmentalization-Of-Thoughts allow.

Naturalists look to other Naturalists as authoritative: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Bertrand Russell, Joseph Fletcher, Margaret Sanger, Charles Darwin, Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Stephen Jay Gould.

Naturalists try to lump divine revelation in with their own sad state of having no foundation.  A favorite phrase of Naturalists is, “The Bible was written by men, so it has errors.”  However, there is a huge difference between that which is based on God’s own voice and that which is based in human supposition / speculation.  In many ways, they try to stuff spiritual things into their Naturalistic assumptions, hoping no one will notice the trick.
