How Did Our Godly Foundation Crumble?

The Short Story:

James Hutton questioned Noah’s flood and founded uniformitarianism geology which was built upon by Charles Lyell who added a chronology of the rock layers called the geologic column in his Principles of Geology published in three volumes 1830-33.

Then there was Gap theory creationism which was popularized in The Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Condition of Man (1833) by Thomas Chalmers.  This was a huge blow to Christian thought regarding the literal interpretation of creation in Genesis.  In my opinion, this was the turning point; the undermining of the validity of the Word of God!

Here we see and example of how the enemy can manipulate even a man of God who otherwise doctrinally hold to foundational tenets of the Scriptures! 

During this Age of Information of the 1800’s anything brought out in the name of Science was gobbled up as truth by the public.  So when Chalmers explained to Christians how he thought an old earth was true, it was swallowed up too.  This laid the ground work for Charles Darwin’s new religion of evolution to be widely accepted... in the name of science. 

And, woe unto us, the rest is history.  God, the Bible, and prayer has been removed from schools, and evolution is taught as the Gospel truth without the Gospel, of course.
