The crisis in modern law and politics cannot be solved by elections or new personnel, because it is rooted in false premises. Contemporary legislation is largely ad hoc designed to address immediate problems in convenient and popular ways, without reference to enduring moral truth. Such laws accumulate, create new problems, and remain in force long after their failures are evident.

Law, however, is never neutral. It is always an expression of morality and therefore of religion. Modern politics denies fixed moral standards, replacing them with pragmatic and subjective values in which each individual becomes his own lawgiver. This philosophy undermines justice, excuses criminal behavior, and produces moral and legal anarchy, even as governments spend ever more to control lawlessness.

Because legislation now aims to satisfy voters rather than uphold justice, morality declines while disorder and debt increase. Without a return to God’s law, no society can maintain a stable foundation. Courageous leaders may resist this decline, but lasting reform requires moral conviction throughout society, especially within the church. A people cannot be healed by borrowed courage; only a restored moral foundation can sustain law and freedom.

Modern politics, the author argues, is no longer constitutional but evolutionary. According to contemporary evolutionary thinking, man has moved from being shaped by blind natural processes to actively directing evolution itself through science and the state. Politics thus becomes the management of human development population control, eugenics, genetic planning, and biological regulation all justified as progress.

This worldview ignores decisive factors such as faith, family, and moral character, reducing humanity to material data and statistics. Social problems are explained biologically or environmentally, while the stabilizing power of religion and community is dismissed. As a result, policies such as abortion, population limits, and directed breeding are defended as evolutionary “goods.”

The essay concludes that evolutionary politics leads inevitably to total control of man by man through the state. Creationism, by contrast, affirms man as created in God’s image and accountable to Him, grounding freedom in divine authority rather than human planning. Unless churches defend creation and redemption in Christ, political evolutionism will steadily erode both faith and liberty.

The modern state is increasingly expected to save society from moral evils such as addiction, crime, and social decay, yet these problems are spiritual, not political or medical. Laws, science, and bureaucracy cannot supply character or regenerate man, but they are repeatedly treated as substitutes for God.

As morality is replaced by medical and social explanations, responsibility shifts from individuals to the state. Science and education serve this new faith, expanding government power under the guise of compassion. The result is a custodial state that claims redemptive authority.

Scripture denies the natural goodness of man or government, teaching that only God saves and sustains. As faith in the state grows, freedom declines and confusion increases. True restoration comes only by turning from this false messiah to God and seeking the city He builds, not modern Babel.
