Biologos, the theistic evolution organization founded by Francis Collins and heavily supported by Tim Keller, is swimming in the primordial goo of false teaching and leftist ideology. Many theistic evolutionists begin their deconstruction by denying the historicity of the first three chapters of Genesis; a perspective quickly devolves into a denial of any other inconvenient Biblical truths.
Biologos refuses to take a position on Biblical inerrancy and openly admits that its members have a broad range of views on whether the Bible is inerrant. The result is inevitably a theology that denies the trustworthiness of Biblical narrative. In a vacuum of truth, Biologos and its founder Francis Collins, have embraced numerous worldly ideologies that directly contradict the truth of scripture.
As head of the NIH, Collins oversaw an increase in the ghoulish use of murdered baby parts for scientific research, made overtures towards the acceptance of antibiblical and anti-science LGBTQ affirming policies, and directed the COVID masking and vaccine public policy charade that convinced millions of Christians that they should live fearfully and forsake the assembly of the local church.
Keeping in step with the deconstruction trends at Biologos, Joseph L Graves, an up-and-coming Biologos conference speaker, recently announced, in an article released on the Biologos website, that humanity faces extinction, and its only hope is social justice.
Graves, who claims that his friends and colleagues call him “Black Darwin” for his prowess in the field of evolutionary studies, might also have earned the title “Black Greta Thunberg” for his recent baseless doomsday predictions about the future extinction of humanity. Graves doesn’t offer any explanations for his belief that the human race is doomed to “extinction,” but he claims to have a divine calling, which he compares to the “Voice in the Wilderness” of John the Baptist, only to proclaim the “truth” of social justice.
Still, I feel I was placed here for a reason. Like John the Baptist, I was called on to give voice to the truth. (A Voice in the Wilderness, excerpt from Conclusion)
Graves believes that the justice provided by God at the end of days is not sufficient. He clearly denies the sovereignty of God in such matters.
Unfortunately, there are too many within the broad tent of our faith who are entirely comfortable with the status quo, or who simply think that we are in the “end times” and Jesus will soon sort everything out.
Graves’ social justice resolution unmasks the gospel according to Biologos. That gospel is the false Social Gospel of social justice. Graves is just a secular humanist, cosplaying as a Christian.
In the final chapter of my book, I outline a path towards social justice that all people of goodwill can get behind, so that like Amos 5:4 we might “…let justice roll down like waters. And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” I also emphasize what is at stake if we don’t do anything. Social justice is our only hope, not just because it is morally right and long overdue but because without it our species will die. We are now in a race between justice and extinction. I conclude that we now have a choice to decide to save ourselves, but this is only possible by learning to love our neighbors the way Christ taught us.
Contrary to Graves’ lunacy, Jesus and his atoning work on the cross are the only hope for humanity. There is only one path to salvation, and it doesn’t involve human effort or “saving ourselves.”
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:11-12
