Solid Sin (1 of 8)
Series: SOLID
Steve Jones
Romans 7:7
Series Summary: This is a topical sermon series on the basic Bible doctrines that form a solid foundation for the Christian life.
Sermon Summary: This sermon focuses on the seriousness of sin. 1) Four presuppositions. 2) The universal human condition. 3) The blessing.
Introduction: 8.13.22 - Physicist Eric J. Lerner comes to the point: To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising-not at all what was predicted by theory. In the flood of technical astronomical papers published online since July 12, the authors report again and again that the images show lots of surprises, and not necessarily pleasant ones. One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: ‘‘Panic!’’ Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? The truth is that the hypothesis that the images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis that the universe began 14 billion years ago in an incredibly hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. Since that hypothesis has been defended for decades as unquestionable truth by the vast majority of cosmological theorists, the new data is causing these theorists to panic. Says Alison Kirkpatrick, an astronomer at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, ‘‘Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning and wondering if everything I’ve done is wrong.’’
So, the ‘‘settled science’’ is once again unsettled. Bummer. Roger Chambers: ‘‘If you are educated about something that isn’t true, you are still ignorant.’’ But it’s not just science that seems to be on shaky ground these days. Society is experiencing upheaval in education, politics, morality, transportation, sexuality, economics, medicine, and even the WEATHER. No wonder anxiety and depression are at an all-time high. ...
