Regardless of our efforts to find utopia, Shangri-la, and peace our world is sinking ever deeper into a morass of mud, blood, debris, and death as we continue to reject God's absolutes of right and wrong about everything. The Bible says, "a tree is known by its fruit," and the death, disease, and destruction we see everywhere is the evil fruit humanity's rebellion against God is producing. Herein we will examine some of history's "noble" efforts to find answers apart from God and how totally vain these efforts are. Its truly a war of words over both the world and the church and ignoring it will not make our problems disappear.
