Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Materialism is as destructive as an epistemology as it is as an eschatology.
When you begin with a materialistic concept of origin, you treat people like matter which is to say like they do not matter. If every person you meet is nothing more than animated atoms, it makes no difference whether you hold the door open for them or hold them up with a pistol. Materialism cannot justify morality.
Psalm 66:4
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
When you end with a materialistic concept of meaning, you treat people like means to an end which is to say like they do not mean anything to you. If every person you meet is nothing more than a step or a stumbling block to your goals, it makes no difference whether you regale them for popularity or rape them for pleasure. Materialism cannot avoid immorality.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
