Almost 3,000 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah lamented, “Woe to
those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light
for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
But at the start of the 20th century, a new form of moral
confusion was introduced. While there were always those who called good evil
and evil good, shortly after Einstein discovered relativity in the natural
order, Western civilization applied relativity to the moral order. As the late
historian Paul Johnson wrote in “Modern Times”: “At the beginning of the 1920s
the belief began to circulate, for the first time at a popular level, that
there were no longer any absolutes: of time and space, of good and evil,
of knowledge, above all of value” (italics added).
