A group of liberal socialist scientists approached God one day. They informed him that they had found all the answers for managing human society through Marxism. They further informed him that they had now applied their vast scientific knowledge to creating human life from dirt just as he had done and his services were no longer required. God said, OK...show me. One of them reached down and scooped up a handful of dirt when God interrupted him...just a second...you have to use your own dirt!
I have used this bit of humor as a lead-in to let you know about a great article in the Science and Religion section of Townhall. It gives an excellent insight into the liberal mindset concerning God.
--------------------
[Excerpt from article] From an intellectual viewpoint, there is no inherent conflict between religion and science. Trouble comes from the efforts of atheistic materialists to hijack science.
Liberal-socialism is a simplistic, one-dimensional paradigm in which human nature is a variable that can be changed by external, material forces. The whole of Western socialism (of which American liberalism is a sect) depends upon the theorized ability of intellectual planners and bureaucratic administrators to perfect human existence by centralized planning to create the necessary external, material forces. Diktats from regulatory bureaus theoretically will restructure society, alter working and living conditions, and equalize income levels. Manipulation of DNA and cloning are to be ultimate material forces to conform human nature to the design of socialist intellectuals. Individual initiative and personal responsibility will be replaced with socialized, collectivistic dependence upon the political state as the final source of authority in all matters of human conduct.
It is for this reason that liberals have labored, since the 19th century, to decapitate Western civilization by discrediting God and the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. To that end, they hijacked science by claiming that Marxian socialism is the ultimate science from which all else flows. Since late in the 19th century, American universities have taught that to be a progressive, scientific person of the modern world one must be a socialist.
