  A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM TEXE MARRS

  What is in your immediate future? What lies in store for your loved ones? The signs and wonders of today’s prosperous and shining high tech world deceptively suggest that mankind has a radiant and glorious future, full of hope and promise. Scientists and technologists point to such imminent advances as new miracle drugs, thinking robots, living computers, and bioengineered babies as proof of the dawning of a new era of greatness and renaissance for man. The New Age religion even proposes that men and women of “higher consciousness” who reject Jesus Christ will become gods: immortal super-beings capable of incredible magical feats.

  However, behind the facade of modem prosperity and progress—and veiled underneath the New Age deception—lies a far different story of a bleak and dreadful future. Stockpiles of nuclear and chemical weapons continue to mount up. Shrewd but atheistic Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev speaks of peace and disarmament but continues to prepare his nation for war with new space killer systems, psychic warfare weapons and hideous new biotechnological (germ warfare) armaments.

  Ominously, science is giving today’s dictators advanced tech tools that will surely be used by the coming Antichrist to control, persecute and torture Christians and other resisters of his One World Religion and Government. Such tools include the development of monstrous nightmare machines to torture men’s minds, the use of lasers and computers for surveillance, and the invention of fantastic new biochips that can be inserted into the human brain to make a person believe in any false doctrine and act exactly the way despotic rulers wish.

  The Bible prophesies a coming period of utter chaos and a tribulation period of terribly malignant proportions. This savage but brief time of woe will be accompanied by a climactic nuclear World War III, referred to simply as Armageddon. The signs and wonders of today’s high tech society are, in fact, those prophesied in our Bible. We are rushing on an unstoppable, fast-plunging roller coaster toward Armageddon. The vast majority cannot escape their destiny. They will perish in their sins.

  The Bible does, however, offer hope. Magnificent hope. It tells us that God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, willingly sacrificed himself on the cross. He died for my sins and your sins. Now He lives and is our Judge. In Him lies peace and happiness, joy and eternal security. Do you know Him as your personal Saviour? Are you prepared to meet Him?

  Preface

  Powerful forces swirl around mankind today, forces destined to bring about a profound change in both our physical and spiritual worlds. Man cannot avoid these forces any more than he could avoid being brought forth into this world and having breath entered into his lungs.

  As we survey the world around us, we recognize a number of malignant and dark forces opposing God and his Word. These forces have seized upon science and technology as prime tools for the exploitation and conquest of souls.

  The age of high technology has arrived with magnum force. Computers, telecommunications satellites, lasers, artificial life, and other mind-boggling breakthroughs are transforming our material lives and even the way we think and act. John Sculley, chief executive officer at Apple Computer Corporation, recently remarked that technological advances are occurring so rapidly that “we’re going through a time compression—almost a time warp.”

  The marvels of technology and the increasing reservoir of intellectual knowledge offer us the promise of affluence and material possessions. However, the wonders of technology have not infused men and women with happiness. Worse, new technological advances now make it possible for mankind to plunge into a catastrophic conflict in which bioengineered toxins, nuclear weapons, laser death rays, and other instruments of war cause tragic destruction.

  Throughout this book, I will discuss new developments in technology and new theories in science, explaining their impact (and potential impact) on the Christian church and the world at large. Today’s Christians are being presented monumental challenges. Scientific and technological discoveries on the horizon are likely to encourage humanist advocates in their irresponsible claims tha
t the Christian faith and the Bible are fundamentally flawed and irrelevant.

  Already a deluge of scientific reports seek to convince us that psychic abilities can enable man to possess Godlike powers, or that worldwide computer networking will produce a universal mind. Meanwhile, a growing legion of scientists proposes that man’s brain is evolving toward a superhuman intelligence capacity, or even “God” status. It is suggested that the Second Genesis—man’s creation of genetically engineered laboratory life and robots with artificial intelligence—makes him a co-creator with God. A prominent authority on science has boldly announced that if man’s current quest to locate or communicate with extraterrestrials from outer space is successful, the death knell will sound for Christianity.

  At the same time, Christianity is also under attack by a coalition of eminent scientists and intellectuals who have boldly announced the dawning of a New Age in which science, technology, and man are exalted and enthroned while God, his Son Jesus, and his Word are debased. These determined opponents of Christianity propose a new, “scientific” world church, founded on the idea that man is on the way to becoming a god. Many of these opponents are dedicated to the practice of Eastern religions, sorcery, the occult, and the glorification of the material world.

  Serving as the cornerstone of this ideology is an unholy alliance of science and religion. Sir Julian Huxley, one of its earliest advocates, called this a “religion without revelation.” Such a religion, said Huxley, can win universal acceptance because “this new, better religion would be based on truths like those of science that could be adjusted to meet new knowledge, discoveries, and insights.” 1

  Huxley and others use the term Evolutionary Humanism to describe the new religion because of its focus on the individual rather than God. According to Huxley, “The well-developed, well-patterned, individual human being is, in a strictly scientific sense, the highest phenomenon of which we have knowledge, and the variety of individual personalities is the world’s highest riches.”

  Another great challenge confronting Christianity—indeed all of humanity—is the issue of nuclear armaments and other military weaponry. In reviewing the panorama of weapons employing the incomparable technological wizardry of the computer age, we cannot help but feel disoriented and perplexed. In only a few decades, the superpowers (the U.S. and the Soviet Union) have worked at a frenzied pace to build inventories of such lethal instruments of war as Star Wars defense systems (called SDI—Strategic Defense Initiative—by the U.S. Department of Defense), laser and particle beam weapons, neutron bombs, robot craft, huge missile-carrying submarines, and growing stocks of chemical and biological munitions. Even mind powers—psychic weapons—are being harnessed and prepared for conflict.

  Tragically, the world’s governments have demonstrated few signs of being able to resolve issues peacefully. As I write this, much of the world’s population is at war and terrorism is a plague across the globe. Fear is rampant that terrorists may soon shock the world by exploding a smart, mobile nuclear device or, perhaps, by poisoning a city’s water system with chemicals or biological toxins.

  Who can question the fact that, since the days of Adam, man has done a horrible job of controlling the vast store of knowledge he has acquired? In these final years of the second millennium since Christ’s birth, God must look down on his creation with dismay. Nations bristle with armaments while many scientists and technologists boast that man is himself divine. The scientific and technical achievements and the affluence that should cause man to praise the God that makes all things possible have, instead, become stumbling blocks to man’s salvation.

  But as we begin our study of man’s abuse of technology and science and his seemingly stubborn march toward self-destruction, we should keep in mind that there is an alternative. Thousands have already found it. That alternative is a life centered on worship of the loving Creator, not worship of man and his technological wonders. This devotion to God brings peace in the midst of global turmoil.

  Christians should be alarmed over what they see in the world here below, but we can also take to heart the uplifting words of Paul in Romans 8:35, 37-39:

  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  PART I: THE GOD OF FORCES AND THE WIZARDS OF INVENTION

  CHAPTER ONE: WHO NEEDS GOD?

  “Who needs God?” my friend asked. “There is little that man cannot do, once he sets his mind to it. Look at our space shuttle and the computer.”

  Sitting in the living area of this man’s extraordinarily beautiful home, I could understand—though not agree—with his sentiments. My friend seemingly had everything: a Ph.D. education, a high-paying job in a scientific field, and a good share of all the luxuries and comforts that come with affluence in America. But still, he had reservations—and fears. “Of course, this could all go up in flames,” he said, a sigh in his voice, “if someone in Moscow or Washington decides to plunge the world into nuclear holocaust.”

  The vast majority of people in today’s world are much like my friend. They profess to be self-sufficient and that a personal God is an unnecessary contrivance. The wealth and affluence of the commercial, scientific age in which we live provides all of us with goods and conveniences not enjoyed even by the greatest of ancient kings. And science and high technology hold out the promise of far greater things to come.

  Yet, deep inside the wells of their consciousness, people are alarmed. Even as they fill up their daily lives with electronic pleasures and digital thrills and accumulate more and more goods, most recognize that something is not right in the world. Insecurity is the plague of modern society.

  Gordon Childe, the British archaeologist, historian, and anthropologist, was one who professed little need for God. His acclaimed 1936 book Man Makes Himself outlined the origin and progress of man and denied the Bible’s story of creation. 1 Childe’s works are the basis for much of modern scientific thought and are often cited by those who deny the Bible’s teachings that God. created man in his image. Childe held that man himself was responsible for becoming “civilized” and that man deserves great credit for taking command of the skies and the seas and for unraveling many of the secrets of nature.

  In a 1983 foreword to Man Makes Himself, Professor Glyn Daniel of Cambridge University in England stated:

  There was no God or any other form of supernatural inspiration in Childe’s view of human history; the emphasis was on the technical development of man and the accumulation of new inventions and new discoveries. The progress of man was not a progress from evil to good: it was a development of material culture which enabled the population of the world to grow and prosper.

  According to Professor Daniel, Childe was deemed by many to be a Marxist and, like many other Marxists in and out of Russia, he emphasized that technology alone has brought man progress and raised him from the status of a savage. This is no doubt the view of millions today—scientists and laymen—who hold that mankind’s hope lies in continued scientific progress.

  In 1957 Dr. Gordon Childe died, and the news of his death came as a great shock to the world of archaeology. His friends said that in his later years the brilliant scientist had become increasingly disillusioned with life. He told a close colleague, “I know a two thousand-foot cliff in Australia. I intend to jump off it.” In his writings is found this sad statement: “I have lost faith in my old ideals. There is nothing more I want to do...nothing I feel I ought and could do.” And so, says Professor Daniel, “He went up the Blue Mountains, put down his spectacles, and jumped.”

  T
HE PARADOX

  It is a paradox that as man’s knowledge increases and his science brings material progress, he has no security and is increasingly alarmed at what tomorrow will bring. We all know that gleaming skyscrapers and technological wonders can be reduced to rubble within minutes by the blast of nuclear weapons. Though we are in the midst of an information and knowledge explosion, and riches abound throughout the Western world, a great many people are, like Gordon Childe, disillusioned with life. The emptiness of everyday existence leads thousands to desperately seek after worldly pleasures and thrills, including drugs and alcohol, sex and crime, while an increasing number opt for suicide. The most affluent societies—the U.S., Sweden, and Switzerland, for example—have alarmingly high suicide rates.

  Why this paradox? Why, as society becomes satiated with possessions and as high technology brings to mankind manifold wonders, are people unsatisfied and unfulfilled? Christians know the answer. It is God alone who brings peace and lasting contentment. Astounding developments in modern technology have brought us lightning-fast, powerful computers, vast television and communications networks, robots with artificial computer intelligence, rapid means of travel, space exploration, and unbelievable progress in medicine. But science and technology have not brought mankind inner peace and happiness.

  Even though spectacular technological achievements occur rapidly, the level of global human misery and immorality continues to increase. This puts the lie to the contention of scientists that science is the key to all of man’s problems. The failure of science and its cousins, psychology and sociology, to improve the quality of our world and to stem the flood tide of crime and immorality is a stark reminder to God’s people that without spiritual wisdom earthly knowledge has no value.
