He said this. “The universe appears to be, like, 13.8 billion years old. Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. In another half billion years, or so, the sun will expand. And probably evaporate the oceans. And make life impossible on Earth. Which means that if it had taken consciousness 10% longer to evolve, it would never have evolved at all.” Wow, that Elon Musk is stupid smart.
And by “stupid smart,” I mean stupid. And smart.
Because there’s no denying he’s a smart guy. But those evolutionary statements are so amazingly stupid on multiple levels. Elon also wonders how many “dead one civilization planets there are out there.” He figures there are “probably a few.”
Mr. Musk also waxed poetically as he described Earth as “a mode of dust suspended in a beam of sunlight.”
But all his education and achievements have led him to conclusions that increase his separation from the Maker of Heaven, Earth, the sun and its beams. And that’s stupid. Not smart.
Because Elon’s worldview is ultimately one of hopelessness. Imagine believing (if you don’t already) that you’re just another creature who lived out your life on a mode of dust. In a beam of sunlight from a sun that’s just gonna expand and burn up that mode of dust.
Sounds great. Sign me up!
Consciousness did NOT evolve. And this so-called “mode of dust” is three-fourths covered in water. And that sun is at an almost perfectly optimum distance from Earth. Those are only 3 points of contention and evidence that should lead a thinking person to at least wonder how all of existence could happen accidentally. Design is in the smallest cell. And in the largest system, the universe.
Self-defeating arguments can be found everywhere in this world that does its best to erase God. And they endeavor to do it in the name of so-called intellect and science. But the irony is…there wouldn’t be any intellect or science without an uncaused First Cause.
Take the Creator of the universe out of the equation and it’s no surprise how dark the future appears.
So, my suggestion is to take a closer look at THE God of the Bible.
And examine the overwhelming evidence of His existence in all of creation. There are thousands of ancient manuscripts. And archeological discoveries. There are prophecies realized. And there are almost limitless science and statistical probabilities connected to the one called Jesus.
So, you’d be stupid smart (not stupid AND smart) to “glory in the Lord.”
Because you live on a planet,
And in a day, He has made.
And the planet is not dying,
So you can live unafraid
Unless you live on a planet,
And in a day, you designed.
‘Cause then you’ll have to pay, yourself,
For what was wrong in your mind.
