Exploring Creation
in Secularism

by Todd Elder

Secularism is the rejection or exclusion of religious considerations. It can be found in ancient Greek philosophies and beyond. After the Renaissance, secularism became a social movement which focused on human achievements and has been strongly anti-religious.

Philosophy Summaries

Secular Philosophy

Secularism is the rejection or exclusion of religious considerations. Secular Science examines the existence of a universe that has occurred without a God or some type of Designer. It often follows a Big Bang Theory for cosmology, a Natural Origins Theory for the Earth's formation and development, and the Theory of Evolution for biological life.

Natural Philosophy

Naturalism has its base in the Natural Philosophy of the Greek Empire and it focused on the premise of nature existing without a god or, at most, with a distant god that may have started things but now does not interact with nature. It was a materialistic concept where physical matter, without anything spiritual, could produce all that exists. These concepts all but do away with a Creator and the possibility of a relationship with Him.

Eugenic Philosophy

The word 'eugenics' comes from the Greek language and literally means "good genes". It is based on the concept that some people are more evolved than others and promotes the search for finding the best and most evolved humans.
