Several years ago, I read Timothy Alberino’s book, “Birthright”, his grand unifying vision of how everything in human history—both past and future—fits together.
Beginning in chapter 9, Alberino does a stellar job tracing a path from Charles Lyell’s textbook “Principles of Geology”, through Darwin to the “-ism” of present age which he describes thusly:
“Apotheotheism is derived from the doctrine of Nietzsche, who contends that overman is the purpose of evolution. The atheist argues that the gods do not exist. The apotheotheist acknowledges that the gods do exist and intends to become like them. The atheist declares that man created Yahweh. The apotheotheist is determined to depose him.”
I say, wait until the “aliens” arrive and promise uplift to those who follow … the Antichrist.
I haven't heard of Alberino before, but there's no doubt that Nietzsche, Darwin, and others in their era had tremendous influence. They opened the door to generations of thinkers who saw God as an outdated superstition. Grateful that the Lord promises to be with His people to the end.
Well written—Thank you! 🙏
