THIS IS A MUST VIEW!

Vishal Mangalwadi, A native of India, finally explains the absolute need for a creator to establish the idea of "equality" in humanity. Using the election of Obama as an example of the Biblical roots of American and the West's movement toward the recognition of "equality" of all human beings.

A touch of the words:

People like Jefferson did think that a belief in equality could be grounded in the Enlightenment philosophy of universal “reason” and “common sense.” But what is called common sense differs in every culture. For instance, nearly all societies think that it is common sense that women are inferior to men. When Jefferson and Thomas Paine talked about “Common Sense” they were drawing upon a peculiar attempt of the Scottish Enlightenment to find an epistemology that could be a secular basis for ideas revealed in the Bible. The radical biblical idea of human equality had so deeply penetrated American culture that it appeared self-evident to the founders.

Of course, most American atheists will tell you that they believe in human equality too. But that’s only because the Bible wrote that notion into America’s cultural DNA. If atheists were writing the Declaration of Independence, they would have to write something like, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all human beings have evolved equal, and are endowed by natural selection with certain unalienable rights . . .”

But that would be absurd. There is no observable way in which all human beings are equal. Natural selection has never created political and social equality; if it did, we wouldn’t need cultural revolutions and civil rights movements to bring it about. No, equality is a moral and theological idea that evolutionism can’t support because evolution is a theory created to explain inequality in nature.
