True. Good observation. I have noticed in my lib friends a tendency to dismiss the recurring dark realities of human nature by an appeal to evolution. My staunch lib friend at work firmly believes humankind will evolve into a weaponless peaceful race bent on creating new habitats for humanity, colonizing Mars and beyond. The Star Trek psychosis. But as a Christian, I don’t see human nature getting better and better, not without the miraculous intervention of God, and even then, only on His terms and His time table. I think that difference in vision is central to understanding the conflict between liberals and conservatives, and we would do well to address it in our conservative apologetics.

Indeed, it always comes back to your worldview and the assumptions that it’s based on.

If you haven’t read Sowell’s “Conflict of Visions”, I highly recommend it. Especially if you have your “Jesus eyes”, ie, see the world from a biblical perspective.
