According to Secular Humanist’s, “systems of national government are destined to fail; thus world government is an inevitable step forward in the evolutionary process” (Noebel, 333). They believe that humanity is perfectible and therefore a peaceful, one world government should exist and evolve. As wonderful as it would be to have a global government with one language, one currency and no paperwork for traveling, it can never happen. Yes, as Christians we should try to perfect ourselves. After all, we are called to be like Christ. However, we are also sinful creatures (Romans 3:23) and therefore can never be perfect. Because of the fall we feel hate and evil, and don’t get along with others. In this reasoning, we can never have a world government because everyone has different views and cultures. For example, Islam will do anything it takes to convert people to Islam even if it requires force and violence. Marxists will behave similarly only doing whatever it takes to further communism. However, religions such as Christianity and Cosmic Humanism are peaceful and emphasize hope and love. Because these worldviews are so contradictory, you can never expect them to be able to get along. You can’t convince a culture to change their ways and act according to another when that’s all they’ve ever known. It all goes back to the Tower of Babylon when God scattered the people of the earth and they all spoke in different tongues (languages) so no one could understand each other. Because of the fall in Genesis there can never be order and unity until Christ comes again. This is the price of sin.
Therefore, if we had a global secular government, it would result in utter chaos and destruction as different cultures, standards and rules clashed.
