So who know what’s going on?
Back then, as now, the enemy tries to redirect or get man to change his focus, creating doubt. First, the temptation is to get the focus changed to man’s thinking, not God’s. Secondly, there is a subtle challenge to change the foundations or basis of understanding. With this comes the rejection of God’s Word, in favor of man’s own developing understanding and control of the universe. Thirdly, the goal of these efforts is to achieve mastery and independence of creation, and from the creator.
(McCullough 2002, 3).
