Secularism’s Worldview of Authority:

Secularists 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 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, Secularists have increasingly been forced to embrace the dogmas of Post Modernism.  Post Modernism allows Secularists 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 Secularists to deal with their own inconsistency of thought, which is required to believe in Secular dogmas.

Secularists try to lump divine revelation in with their own sad state of having no foundation.  A favorite phrase of Secularists 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.
