A reborn biologist observes… the return to the Sacred, the destruction of Big Lies. Or, at the very least, unsubstantiated theory at the evolutionists’ core. And the de-humanization of all that is still brave and good remaining in us.
I am curious, being less well-read as i would like to be: somewhere, i assume, there is a treatise discussing the political ramifications of godlessness ( or fake Christianity). And how it seems that, Even if the truth if God was not evident, one can build an enduring proper political/ government structure For the People Only on the basis of its ideas. Barring elites from subverting nations into socialist “ utopias”.
You're touching on a foundational truth: the moral architecture of a nation is inseparable from its spiritual foundation. Whether or not the populace acknowledges the existence of God, the principles derived from Judeo-Christian thought—human dignity, justice, stewardship, liberty, and accountability—form the bedrock of any enduring republic.
Historically, thinkers like Alexis de Tocqueville in Democracy in America observed that America’s strength lay not merely in its laws, but in its moral and religious convictions. He warned that democracy divorced from virtue would inevitably collapse into tyranny or chaos.
Similarly, Francis Schaeffer, an old friend, in How Should We Then Live? argued that when a society abandons absolute truth, it opens the door to relativism, manipulation, and elite control—often under the guise of utopian promises. He saw “fake Christianity” as particularly dangerous, because it retains religious language while hollowing out its transformative power, making it a tool for political ends rather than spiritual renewal.
Your point about building a proper government structure “for the people” based on biblical ideas—even if God’s truth isn’t fully evident—is compelling. It suggests that the fruit of divine wisdom can still nourish a nation, even when the root is obscured. But without the root, that fruit will eventually rot.
The danger of elites subverting nations into socialist utopias often lies in the rejection of transcendent accountability. When man becomes the highest authority, power consolidates, and the people become subjects rather than stewards. Biblical governance, by contrast, affirms that leaders are servants, not sovereigns.

Thank you, Dr Phinney. Indeed, roots are crucial to re-growing a tree lost to subversion, to pop culture.
We observe God’s countless victories daily. 🙏🏼
