Secular Humanism’s Worldview of Authority:

Humanists have a worldview based on several assumed “axioms” as being the chief cornerstones of authority in their faith.  They call these assumptions "the axioms of science."

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

From this basis of rationalism, they 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).

Since evolutionism collapsed under Modernism in the seventies, Humanists have increasingly been forced to embrace the dogmas of Post Modernism.  Post Modernism allows Humanists 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.  In addition, Post Modernism’s compartmentalization of thought helps Humanists to deal with their own inconsistency of thought, an inconsistency that is required for a person to believe in Humanistic dogmas.

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

Humanists try to make their speculations equal to the revelation of the Bible.
