About this Quote

This quote by Jimmy Swaggart is a criticism of the scientific theory of development. He is suggesting that evolution is not a clinical fact, but rather a speculative approach. He suggests that just a spiritually bankrupt society would believe in development, and that just atheists would accept this "Satanic theory". This quote shows a common belief among religious people who reject the clinical theory of development. They see it as a difficulty to their faith and a hazard to their beliefs. Swaggart's quote is an example of how some religious individuals see development as an incorrect and dangerous idea. It is necessary to keep in mind, nevertheless, that the scientific community commonly accepts the theory of development as a fact. Therefore, Swaggart's quote ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
