Pantheism and polytheism are actually simple words; and come from the Greek pan meaning all and poly meaning many, plus the Greek theos meaning god. Pantheism is the doctrine that the universe, taken as a whole is God. This idea must include the concept of self creation or evolution and thus the exclusion of the Creator God. Polytheism is the doctrine of belief in a plurality of gods and this also excludes the Creator God. Both of these doctrines if followed result in a worship of the creation instead of The Creator. Historically, man has always fallen away from worshiping The Creator by going back into pantheism or polytheism. This happened over and over again throughout Bible history. Pagan people always believe in pantheism or polytheism. We hear the term "mother earth" repeatedly today, and on an accelerated basis as man descends backward into pantheism under the constant pressure of being taught evolution as fact and being taught secular humanism which proclaims there is no truth and there are no absolutes. Secular humanism has convinced so many they are the supreme creature that has evolved upward with no Creator and in the New Age philosophy are becoming their own God. If there is no truth, and there are no absolutes, then the Bible really is worthless, and the Gospel is nonsense.
The population today is rapidly becoming more and more pagan, but we creation scientists are saying look to scripture for the solution. This is all covered in the book of Acts chapter 17. When Paul talked to the Jews who believed the biblical account of creation, he reasoned with them out of the scriptures since the Jews believed the Old Testament, but when he preached to the pagan and evolutionary pantheistic and polytheistic Greeks, their response was "what strange babble is this?" Paul realizing these evolutionary Greeks didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about, went back to Genesis 1:1 and began to tell them about The Creator (the first cause). This same situation exists today.
Secular humanistic teaching along with evolution being taught as fact has caused much of the population to simply be deaf to the message of Christianity. All of this is very strange to me in the light of science because evolution has never been observed to occur, evolution contradicts the basic laws of science, evolution cannot be demonstrated by experiment, and no scientific mechanism has ever been discovered whereby it might occur. Evolution is not science, but only Satan's religion and promotes the idea of origins without God The Creator.
