Did you hear about the dog that saved its master who fell in the frozen lake? Or how about the story of a mother cat that nursed a stray guinea pig in addition to her own kittens. And of course, you gotta love those stories about people helping others from burning buildings, car crashes, and natural disasters.
Because helping others in trouble seems like the natural thing to do.
But then there’s that whole “survival of the fittest” stuff. Shouldn’t the strong just let the weak fend for themselves? After all, that’s the best way to perpetuate the species. Weed out the weak so only the tip-top specimens can procreate with one another. Just as Darwin wrote in his famous book “Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life?” You might have heard of it by its other name, “The Origin of Species.” But that title hides some harsh truth. Don’tcha think?
If you cling to an evolutionary worldview, you grabbed a rope with no one and nothing at the other end to pull you from the quicksand. But, ironically, if anyone did show up to pull you in, it wouldn’t be to perpetuate the species. Nope. They’d actually be responding to a still small voice inside them. And a message written on the tablet of their heart.
It’s a message to love your neighbor as yourself. And that includes even the weaker one. Especially them.
Evolution doesn’t determine or clarify right and wrong. In fact, it muddies the water with billions of different opinions. And evolution doesn’t inspire and motivate unselfishness. In fact, it does quite the opposite. Yeah, if evolution were true, selfishness would have eliminated unselfishness long ago.
But it isn’t true. It’s a pitiful worldview that thumbs its nose and shakes its fist in the face of God. It spends very little time helping others. If you still cling to the hope that you can be your own god or king, you will be…forever. But you’ll be alone in that kingdom. So, I urge you tohelping others reconsider.
