		<description><![CDATA[I Totally agree, an atheist person who believes in social evolution and that our behaviours are only getting better through time is really lying to himself for at least three reasons in my mind: 

1-Honesty with oneself: 

You could be perfectly acceptable and productive in the atheist community and yet you are corrupt inside, you practice profanity, you lust, you envy, you hate other people. but nevertheless you haven’t hurt anyone, and you abide perfectly by the man made laws, so no matter how advanced and great human made laws seem they wouldn’t be able to change you from within, they wouldn’t be able to control your heart, they would never bring you high enough to love your neighbour as you love yourself or love your enemies, they wouldn’t give you any incentive on remaining pure in body and spirit, not any real incentive on helping the poor and donating to charities, even if you do it you could simply be doing it just to show off, and because of our sinful and evil nature, we would inadvertently find ourselves more and more worshiping money and power and what’s earthly because that’s the ultimate achievement speaking pure materialistic evolution, while alienating many people and hating each other and feeling void on the inside, nothing fills the empty spirit but the truth which is the word of God. that’s why very successful and rich people suffer depression, commit suicide, and they are not happy with their lives. 

2-Social and moral evolution is an outright lie, the simple evidence is the increasing incidence of divorce, sexual decadence, crime and immorality in our society, sex before marriage and lust is perfectly acceptable these days, and we are considered idiots for even discussing the morality of those things, this wasn’t the case not long time ago,  is that evolution? 

3-Morality doesn’t change but people change, that’s why in a man made world what’s considered immoral yesterday might well be moral tomorrow simply because it’s convenient, seeks human comfort and apparently doesn’t hurt anyone (like abortion, sex before marriage, gay marriage etc…), while it’s nice to have some comfort but that doesn’t make it right or even evolutionary. the consequences are horrible not speaking purely in the eyes of God, but in the materialistic world as well, single mums, broken families, unloved children, etc… 

Thank you Shawn, you are doing a great job.]]></description>
