Book Preview:

#1 The period between 1890 and 1930 was a pivotal time for the future of the world. All notions of Biblical inerrancy and historical accuracy had been discarded by the intellectual elite. Radical new inventions created by scientists and engineers were revolutionizing both the physical and social world.

#2 The French philosopher Auguste Comte was the founder of Positivism, a philosophy that was very popular in the late 1800s. Positivism claimed that only scientific knowledge was authentic, and discarded all notions of absolute truth based on the Bible or metaphysical truth based on man’s imaginations.

#3 Scientism takes Positivism to an extreme by claiming that science alone can produce truth about the world and reality. It rejects all philosophical, religious and metaphysical claims to understand reality since the truth it portends cannot be validated by the Scientific Method.

#4 The philosophy of Darwinism grew out of Charles Darwin’s book The Origin of Species, which proposed that all life naturally evolved over long periods of time from the most simple creature to the most complex. It specifically rejected the Biblical account of creation and in general all thoughts of intelligent design.
