Aldous Huxley and many of his peers once argued that evolution proved life had no ultimate meaning — that the universe was just an accident, and therefore we could live however we wanted. Huxley later admitted,
“Like so many of my contemporaries, I took it for granted that there was no meaning. This was partly because I believed that the scientific picture — an abstraction from reality — was reality itself. But it was also for other, non-intellectual reasons. I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently, I assumed it had none, and was able, without difficulty, to find satisfying reasons for this assumption.”
He went even further:
“For myself, as for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was freedom from a certain system of morality. We objected to morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.”
In other words, evolution and “meaninglessness” weren’t just ideas — they became excuses. Excuses to push God out so we could do whatever we wanted without guilt.
But look around in 2025: what did that “freedom” actually bring?
We got adultery, abortion, and brokenness on a global scale.
Adultery has become normalized — people chase feelings instead of faithfulness. We swipe right, fall fast, and walk away faster. It’s no wonder so many relationships and marriages collapse under the weight of self-centered love.
Abortion continues to take millions of lives every year, often justified as “choice” or “self-care.” But convenience has replaced conviction. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, debates rage louder than ever — yet hearts grow colder toward the value of life.
And while STDs and AIDS may not dominate headlines anymore, the next generations — Gen Z and Gen Alpha — will face the same dangers of casual sex and emotional emptiness. They will need to be careful, to guard their hearts and their purity, and to follow God’s way instead of the world’s. Because real love won’t be found in rebellion — it will be found in righteousness.
Humanity keeps trying to “evolve” beyond God — but you can’t vote away His truth. Trying to cancel His moral laws is like trying to repeal gravity because people fall. Even if everyone agrees, the laws of reality don’t change — and jumping still leads to a crash.
The Bible already called this out thousands of years ago:
“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” — Psalm 14:1
“Although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him… Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” — Romans 1:21–22
When we trade God’s truth for self-made “freedom,” we don’t evolve — we unravel.
Meaninglessness doesn’t liberate us; it leaves us lost.
