John Calvin
Charles Darwin
The following article makes a good case that there are two distinct Americas. One is the heir of the reformer John Calvin, and the other is the heir of Charles Darwin. The first holds to objective truth and the sinfulness of man and the second abandons anything but scientific observation and embraces the basic goodness of man. One seeks to protect divinely given liberties from the sinful actions of man (Calvinistic). The other seeks to limit liberties even though believing man is basically good(Darwinian). However why is there a need to limit anything if man is basically good?
Just a simple scientific observation of the newspaper or watching the news each day hoots the idea of man's basic goodness right off the stage. And yet the soldiers of progressive and liberal thought march on with heads held high.
Here is the article from the American Thinker.
