TABLE of CONTENTS BOB LINN Following the Wrong Prince  MARK YOUR CALENDAR State Board of Education NOVEMBER 16, 2023 Meeting BOB LINN Following the Wrong Prince The government did not have such power over us when it could send men to the stake, as it does now when it can send them to elementary school. ~ G K Chesterton (1874-1936) Over the weekend, I was reviewing an old book which contained an updated commentary on Machiavelli’s Prince. An old friend, Angelo Codevilla, was the editor. He made striking comments as to the degree to which America had adopted Machiavellian thought. He says in the Editor’s Introduction: Even in the United States, whose founding document cites "the laws of nature and nature’s God," there is near unanimity among graduates of the top schools that any mention of natural law is subversive. Francis Bacon praised Machiavelli for bringing the "stars of the heavens" down into humanity. Like Prometheus (or the Serpent), Machiavelli sought to give man a power that heretofore had belonged to God alone. Much modern philosophy, following Machiavelli’s led, is founded on the attempt to close mankind’s window on the supernatural. On the level of political thought, the notion that people can create their own values long ago passed from heresy through controversy and into orthodoxy. There is in Oklahoma open objection today at the mention of placing the Ten Commandments in public classrooms. Under the banner of “neutrality,” we have rejected both Christ and the Bible, the nation’s platform of launch in favor of a Machiavellian ideal. Forgotten is the fact that the education that built the West was impregnated with Biblical thought. That foundation opened the amazing vistas of possibilities which for millennia laid latent in the earth. Twenty years ago, Princeton University Press published Rodney Stark’s The Glory of God. He states: Christian theology was essential for the rise of science. The leading scientific figures in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries overwhelmingly were devout Christians who believed it their duty to comprehend God’s handiwork. The rise of science was not an extension of classical learning. It was the natural outgrowth of Christian doctrine: Nature exists because it was created by God. Science arose only once in history – medieval Europe. Science could only arise in a culture dominated by belief in a conscious, rational, all-powerful creator. When Einstein thought about the foundations of science, his mind went to Sir Isaac Newton. He said of Newton: His great and lucid ideas will retain their unique significance for all time as the foundation of our whole modern conceptual structure in the sphere of natural philosophy. Newton said: This most beautiful system of sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the council and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being … This being governs all things as Lord over all. Johannes Kepler was a key figure in the 17th century Scientific Revolution. In 2009, NASA launched the Kepler space telescope. The Kepler name appears in textbooks the world over. Kepler wrote: God wanted to have us recognize these laws when he created us in His image, so that we should share in His own thoughts. Astronomers are priests of God to the book of nature. They ought to keep in their minds not the glory of their own intellect, but the glory of God above everything else. Theologian Rousas Rushdoony wrote: Under the influence of Christianity, science escaped from magic. The purpose of science ceased gradually to be an attempt to play god and became rather the exercise of dominion over the earth under God. The redeemed Christian is God’s vice regent over the earth, and science is one of man’s tools in establishing and furthering that dominion. Solzhenitsyn Men Have Forgotten God: If Western man continues to aim his metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical blows at the revelation of God in His Word and His Works, Western Civilization will eventually stagnate and die just like the cultures of antiquity. RETURNING TO THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR GREATNESS Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk have become prominent in the rejuvenation of the American mind. This Wednesday, you'll hear their progress in Oklahoma high schools. Also coming is Rocky Malloy. Chaplains in Schools, under the bold leadership of Rocky Malloy, has placed a Christian influence in thousands of schools around the world. Rocky will be here to discuss his plans for Oklahoma and the rest of America’s schools. We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.
