<\/a>I was shocked by what I heard come out of Bill Nye\u2019s mouth. When Bill was confronted with a Biblical world view, he was disturbed by what would then be the reality for all those people groups in the past that would have never heard God\u2019s word. He posed the questions \u201cwhat happened to those people? Are they condemned and doomed?\u201d These quotes are from the 2 hour and 34 min mark of the debate. Bill goes on to explain that people don\u2019t like to hear about that kind of stuff. So Bill doesn’t believe that that is the case. He in fact uses that reality to paint his argument as more attractive. To me it was interesting though that when faced with the Biblical view, His mind did go to those who have never had the opportunity to hear. Bills worldview allows him to push those thoughts aside and focus fully on progression, domination, competition and achievement. These are natural desires for man. These are my own desires a lot of the time. And I\u2019m not going to just say they are bad. They most certainly have their place. But how often does the world have pure motives behind achieving and progressing and the like. Not very often if I may say so myself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s the point? Why make the titled claim? Well, tying someone like Bill Nye to a character trait that can only belong to a Christian is like saying great white sharks are greatly concerned for the safety of all the helpless baby seals out there. Or maybe a ferocious white tail deer or plague of locust is concerned for a farmers crops being harvested well and in plenty. I\u2019m attempting to make a contrast. If a white tail deer can have a concern for the harvest, how much more should the farmer? As those called out into the harvest, (which happens to be plentiful, while laborers are few) do our lives reflect it. Bill Nye embraces his worldview and his achievements are a testament to that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So I would like to pose the question, how often do we as \u201cChristians\u201d claim this Biblical worldview with our mouths but then live out the atheist or evolutionist worldview? For Example, the American dream as we know it today is far from Biblical yet It\u2019s still the norm in our American society. What started out as something rooted in the declaration of independence has slowly turned into a pursuit of self-edification and preservation\u2014NOT in the Bible. Yet our Christian culture has adopted this largely secular view as our own, as if they can hold hands in harmony. This is called syncretism (the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure Bill sees this. He probably wonders how Christians live with themselves claiming this worldview and then being totally chill about all the people in the world that are going to hell. Now I know that Bill views it as a disgusting belief that there could be a God that would send people to hell, whereas we believe in Romans 3:23: \u201cAll have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.\u201d\u00a0 But we also believe in the following verses that say \u201cand are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood to be received by faith.\u201d This should be enough to stir us towards a transformed lifestyle that aligns with a Biblical worldview.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So as farmers, or followers of Christ, What should we do? For starters, let\u2019s pray for laborers for the harvest is great. Then, let\u2019s harvest!! What does this look like? In Matthew 28: 19-20 Jesus says, \u201cTherefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age\u201d.<\/p>\n
