Book Eight considers the present state of our world, here at sundown on the sixth day. Eternity lies just ahead. The Knowledge of Good and Evil begins with the state of today's society and how far it has wandered from the scriptures. It ends with inspirational studies from the word of God and from science. Sin, first introduced in the Garden of Eden, has had six thousand years to grow, ferment, and corrupt the souls of men. What we now see is the end product of sin. Thank God His holy word endures, as do truth and the church.
At the foundation level of all humanity . . . from all time . . . rests this bedrock sense of right and wrong. This law of God is etched upon our innermost being. One can find its tentacles throughout the formation of man's laws, governments, and judicial systems. Search any civil law, common law, royal law, state and federal law, canon law, and even primitive tribal law. Despite their many differences, in each of them murder and mayhem are wrong; adultery, lying and stealing are wrong. Cheating and grifting are wrong. They all share this common link in the law of God written upon every man's heart. And it is from that hidden law that conscience selects her sermons as we encounter life's crossroads. I dare say that from criminal to pastor, all do hear the sermons. But like a packed Sunday morning church service, the majority enjoy and ignore the sermon, and head straight to a restaurant.
