The materialist's philosophy and religion which has held the ascendency in academia since the middle of the 19th century has produced its own myths just as have all religions.
True Christianity has no myths because it is not based on religion but on faith in the revealed Word of God. In other words, Christians believe that God cannot lie to His people.
Materialism is the philosophy and religion that holds that only matter and energy are real and that God does not exist.
Religion has always been either a belief in nature gods or no god at all. These two belief systems are actually closely allied. The animists thought that they could gain wealth or power by worshipping the forces of nature which their gods represented. In other words, their religion was close to the philosopy of materialism. Usually, the atheists went along with the animists' religion out of fear of rejection or pure superstition.
In either case, materialism contains no spiritual content whatsoever. Christianity has Spirit because it is based on a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Atheistic materialism gained acceptance with the advent of the scientific method because the materialists thought that they could use the scientific method to prove eventually that God does not exist.
The first myth of the materialists is called the theory of evolution. This myth is based on the philosophy of Charles Darwin. This philosophy maintains that life created itself and progressed to all its varied forms by the natural forces of beneficial mutation and natural selection. In other words, this philosophy maintains that God is not needed, and therefore, does not exist. The natural forces of this philosophy are actually quite similar to the nature gods of the animists' religion.
Most of the first scientists were Christians. The theory of evolution ignored the findings of the Christian, Louis Pastuer, who discovered that only life can generate life, and that spontaneous generation is impossible. It also ignored the long-held observation that one kind can only reproduce its own kind. In other words, dogs can only produce dogs, and cats can only produce cats and so forth.
Today, the evolutionists ignore the findings of modern geneticists.
Through the scientific method, the modern geneticists have discovered that there exists a third necessary element to the creation and maintenance of life, in addition to matter and energy. This third element is called specific information. Specific information is like language or a computer code. The cells of all living things are loaded with specific information. Life cannot exist without it. Many geneticists believe that this specific information is actually a computer code far more complex than any ever invented by man. One thing is for certain, specific information cannot be produced by any force except an intelligent mind. In other words, true science has found that God exists.
The materialists political myth is that through socialism man can create his own paradise on earth, and that therefore, man does not need for God to bring His kingdom to earth. Time and again, history has proven socialism to be a failure in every country where it has ever been tried.
Another scientific myth of materialism is called global warming. The propagation of this myth is simply an attempt to shift most of the wealth of the world from the control of the capitalists to those who are controlled by the socialists. In other words, it is simply a scheme by the socialists to gain control of the wealth of the world. Most true scientists know that global warming is based on manipulated or flawed data.
There are other myths of the materialists, but these should suffice to show that they have their myths just as does any other religion.
Those who want to know the truth should read the Word of God. Jesus said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
