Self-Deification

Here's a telling quote from an evolutionist:

“We no longer feel ourselves to be guests in someone else’s home and therefore obliged to make our behavior conform with a set of pre-existing cosmic rules. It is our creation now. We make the rules. We establish the parameters of reality. We create the world, and because we do, we no longer feel beholden to outside forces. We no longer have to justify our behavior, for we are now the architects of the universe. We are responsible to nothing outside ourselves, for we are the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever.”– Jeremy Rifkin, Algeny, Viking Press, New York, p. 244, 1983.

Setting aside the delusive quality of this pronouncement, notice the reek of arrogance. This is elitism run amok. It is just this sort of mentality that leads to mass murder on an epic scale: An attempt at forcing God's abdication, and setting up oneself as the new sovereign, with lawlessness for a queen. History is littered with the corpses of victims of such an ideology.
