Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXXXXXXV (A Nation Under God, XI)

Human choices are not absolutely free in a nation under God. Only God’s freedom is absolute. Human freedom is thus a variable that begins at a minimum level, such as slavery, and can change to higher levels of freedom. These higher levels of freedom are obtained only by laws. So abortion became a free choice by Congress and was ruled favorable by the U. S. Supreme Court in the Roe V. Wade case.

However, the congressional action and court ruling on abortion has been outdated by developments of new scientific evidence about a monotheistic God. And we also have new evidence about the universe that God created. For instance, evidence indicated that the universe has no end and that the immortal soul of all humans will continue life after death forever. However, our lives do not continue in Heaven because our bodies are finite and cannot exist in the infinite world of God. Thus, our lives can continue only on planet earth or on some other planet. This new evidence is outdating the developments of religions and their scriptures. This new evidence is now destroying evolution theory.

The new evidence confirms the existence of our irreducible, immortal souls. Simply stated, man cannot create or destroy a soul. Thus, abortion cannot destroy a child’s soul. Only the body formed for the child’s soul can be destroyed. Nor can the act of suicide destroy a person’s soul. Giving life to all humans is thus an important act of God.

People in a nation under God must make as many right choices as possible. Aborting a child lacks reasoning and is no different from transforming a town or city into a ghetto, making a war, or making poor cultures in third-world nations. Poor choices are born out of poor reasoning because only God chooses where our next lives will begin.
