Abstract

The article "Youth's Dilemma with Answers from Modern Biology" by John J. Grebe explores the philosophical and societal challenges faced by young people due to the widespread acceptance of evolutionary theory. Grebe argues that teaching evolution as an undirected, purposeless process leads to aimlessness, moral relativism, and a sense of hopelessness in youth. He contends that young people, bombarded with evidence of humanity's depravity and the threat of global destruction, turn to evolution for answers but find only a philosophy of "try and test," devoid of objective morality or purpose. This worldview, grounded in naturalism and the survival of the fittest, leaves them with the belief that there are no absolutes and that "what gets by" is the only measure of right and wrong. Grebe asserts that this evolutionary mindset has permeated not only public education but also many religious institutions, further compounding youth's dilemma. He emphasizes that the concept of evolution directly contradicts the Biblical understanding of man as a fallen creation in need of redemption, leaving young people without a foundation for hope or a sense of responsibility for their actions. Grebe concludes by urging a shift away from the "evolutionistic bunk" and towards a worldview grounded in truth and purpose, offering a more hopeful and fulfilling path for young people to navigate the complexities of life.
