Evolution, or Providence?
• Aug, 01 2025
Can man reengineer himself into paradise? Or is he merely replacing God with mirrors and microphones? In this piercing analysis from 1976, we revisit a generation that staked its hope on evolution, science, and state power to usher in a “fabulous future”—only to find disillusionment at the door. R.J. Rushdoony explores the deep theological shift from trusting in Providence to trusting in man’s plan, and what it means when churches stop preaching God’s government and settle for bureaucratic salvation. Tune in as we ask: has the new god delivered, or has the old faith simply been forgotten?
