The
Liberal Worldview (continued) The
Miracle of Life The brain produces neurons at an astounding rate
in the womb. By birth there are one hundred billion. During the nine months
of gestation, that averages out to between four and five thousand new nerves
each second. Four to five thousand phenomenally complex axon-elongated cells
constructed each second, each one racing out to find its target organ. These
are guided on their journey by a trillion (a thousand billion!) structural glial cells. Don’t just gloss over these fantastically
huge numbers. Each cell houses all the complexity we discovered earlier:
nucleus, DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes,
motor proteins, ion channels, and on and on. And all are being manufactured
at the rate of five thousand per second. (1) By all accounts human life is an extremely rare and low probability phenomenon in the universe, requiring highly ordered, highly strung, highly tensed, highly stressed, highly specific, highly complex and highly unstable arrangements of informational, material and energetic elements. The magnitude of the complexity of a single living cell, the brief and tenuous nature of life itself, the fine line that separates health from disease, and the rapid rate at which the body will decay after death, all testify to the relative instability and low probability of human life. Science
of Probabilities Given the seamless continuity between cause and effect, we predict such and such will happen with absolute certainty. Today they say it a little differently: Given the quantum
discontinuity between cause and effect, we predict such and such will happen
with overwhelming probability. The probability of finding dust in the universe is very high. The probability of finding living cells in the universe is relatively very low. Stated otherwise and all things being equal: Matter and
energy as living cells = less probable
state Matter and
energy as dust = more probable state Atheists like Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett associate the appearance of life on earth with randomness and the ontology of the universe. Paradoxically, the ontology of the universe makes general selections in favor of more probable states (dust), not less probable states (living cells)! So how come it has allowed such a huge sample of mind-bogglingly complex life forms to exist on earth for millions and millions of years? In answer to this question atheists would likely posit “parallel universes,” “directed panspermia,” or “undiscovered causes.” In answer to the same question, believers would posit the overruling Providence of God; i.e., the thing that has created and sustained life on earth is the local “intervention” (or as C.S. Lewis might have said, the local “interference”) of the Creator in the normal course of His creation. Roe v. Wade Abortion
and Infanticide
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12) The newly published book In God We Trust by Victor Shane was written to explain all of this in greater detail, exposing the sham and error that underlies atheism and arming those of you on the forefront of the culture war with the rational wherewithal to restore this great nation to the dignity of her origins in God.

What is America’s culture war really all about? Who are the warring factions and what do they really
want? What set of beliefs
drives the ideology of the conservative right? What set of beliefs
drives the ideology of the liberal left? How do these beliefs
divide America when it comes to: ● The
Judeo-Christian worldview? As the culture war
reaches its boiling point, In God We Trust by Victor Shane
provides answers to the above questions along with winning strategies intended
to restore America to the dignity of her origins in God. “Most great
movements of history have launched only after one great book has stirred the
hearts of men. Such a book is In God We
Trust by Victor Shane which makes the moral argument for America’s third
great religious reawakening. When the battle is ultimately won and
civilization is successfully defended, history will remember the book that
started it all.” —Rabbi Daniel Lapin, President, American Alliance of Jews and Christians “Though
Victor and I have different understandings of the details of religion, Victor
being a devout Christian and I being an orthodox Jew, clearly in his book, In God We Trust, we share identical
views regarding the desperate need for a return to the Biblically based moral
code that once prevailed in American society and upon which America was
founded. Victor has put into words the concerns and desires of the silent
majority of Americans which must cease to be silent.” —Gerald
Schroeder, PhD. Jerusalem,
