I don’t know how many other people have noticed the quote in
the newest rendition of Superman: Man of Steel but this quote caught my
attention last night. One of the villains
says to Cal, i.e. Superman, “You have not evolved enough you still have a
conscience!” I don’t know if the writers
put that there intentionally or not but there seems to be great truth to it.
Here is why I say there is great truth in the statement. When one believes they have evolved they
take away their belief in a creator.
When we take away a creator to which we are accountable then why does
one need a conscience. Each individual does
not look to the creator to ask what is right and wrong, rather they make up
their own mind, rely on the collective minds of a society, or listen to their
government. When an individual or
society have no standards by which they determine right and wrong then morals
continually shift. Unfortunately, they
seem to shift further and further from the standards of right and wrong that
were set forth by our creator.
I would like to encourage you to consider the truth of Psalm
19. Psalm 19:1–3 (ESV) 1The
heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2Day
to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3There
is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Then consider how this creator would have you
to live in 2014. Search His Word and
live it!
