In reply to Roy S. Askins.

Pastor Moerbe is not attacking science as such, but science as a god. Science serves us well in a ministerial role, but not in a magisterial role. Luther in his Large Catechism says that whatever we look to in time of need or for our good is our god. That pretty much describes how many today view science. Science is good when it helps us understand the world God has made. It is worthless when it becomes our god. It is tempting to think that science (or humanism) if you prefer will come up with a pill for every problem. This pandemic has shown the limitations of human knowledge, science, if you will. We have no answer for a tiny virus we can't see. There is fear because what many people have made their "god" can't help them any more than Baal responded to his prophets on Mount Carmel. Especially brilliant is Pastoer Moerbe's observation that we have allowed Darwinism to be taught, in the name of science, that our origin is in chance, chaos and death, yet we also insist that there must be justice and order in the world. Where are all the "science" teachers who teach evolution in their classrooms now? They should be speaking out that this pandemic is just accomplishing what they promote, namely, the "survival of the fittest"? Thank you Pastor Moerbe, for your timely words which serve to keep things in their proper place.
