If you were the devil and wanted to deceive the entire world, how would you approach such a challenge?
You first would probably convince people that you don't exist and that the only source of information that reveals your motives and methods is little more than a collection of fables that have nothing to do with their lives.
We have seen exactly that. Starting several centuries ago, and prompted by the theories of men such as Charles Darwin-who fabricated a way to explain creation without the Creator-many people began directly challenging the authority and inspiration of the Bible. They began to ridicule, as mere myth and superstition, the existence of a spirit world, long accepted without question by those who believed the Bible.
In the world's leading universities skeptics challenged the validity and accuracy of the Bible, and scientific reasoning-much of which rejects anything that cannot be detected by the physical senses-became the order of the day. Generations of leaders were taught to discard anything that could not be measured by scientific methods.
Then came two world wars. Two successive generations saw their fathers, husbands and sons lost on bloody battlefields in far-flung corners of the world, with neither war gaining a lasting peace. Civilian casualties, too, were appalling, with tens of millions of lives snuffed out. Numbed by such wholesale mass destruction of lives and property, many lost their belief in God, thinking that an all-powerful Supreme Being would never allow such carnage and suffering.
