A vacuum is a very dangerous thing! Nature at every level hats to fill a vacuum, with anything it can. What it is filled with does not matter, whether good or evil.
Dig a hole in the ground, leave it alone, and it will eventually fill in. First with water and then with whatever the water can carry in.
Strip a plot of land of all vegetation, and it will slowly become a weed bed. Opportunistic weeds taking their chance to fill the vacuum.
Move air by any means, and the space is quickly filed with whatever gas, liquid , or solid is available to rush in.
This principle works outside of nature also, nature being the visible evidence of truth unseen. For instance, any vacuum created in human relations is filed, with availble available something. Needs are a vacuum, a home, that will be filled by the nearest available entity.
In the realm of government, vacuums are filled with laws, control. A need is perceived, everyone rushes to fill that need. The long term consequences are usually ignored in the haste to fill the need. Most of the laws that remove freedom were originally intended to be good, too fill an immediate need, like water rushing into a hole. But just as that water carries dirt, trash, contaminants, whatever.... The law of together to fill only an immediate need will carry in garbage, control, loss of freedom, oppression.
Create a void, a vacuum, in a child's heart and they will fill it. It must be filled at all cost. If not filed with good, then with compromise of with evil. But it will be filled.
Create a vacuum in society and it will be filled... Remove a proper purpose, motivation, reason, and society will fill the void with whatever it can. Remove the creator and other gods rush in. Remove the Bible and other writings rush in. The void will be filled.
This is why nutreaulity is a myth. American society today seems to eliminate any reference to God. It seems to be neutral. Not just neutral but silent. This is impossible because silent is vacuum and vacuum will be filled.
Take the scopes "monkey trial" as example. Creationism won that trial overt evolution. Officially the judicial system upheld that teaching of creation instead of evolution could be mandated at a local level. But.. Unofficially the teaching, even the belief of Creationism lost in the public eye. Bible believers poverty fledgling science theories are ridiculed and scoffed at. People pulled back. It became a "private matter" to believe one way or another. A vacuum was created... And as always it was filled. Because believers stipped talking
, living their belief in the Bible, schools slowly transformed to teaching evolution. The vacuumed created by winning the trial but losing the desire to be public, was filled with the opposing view.

Vacuums in our heart are also filled . Being empty inside is not a natural state, and we will fill it, either with good or evil. We will either invite the presence of our creator or can that hole with other things. The problem is, nothing else lasts. The vacuum inside us will constantly empty of all else ornery than our creator. Addictions, recreation, happiness, pleasure, money, friends, all that stuff we try to fill the hole with never lasts. The vacuum persists, drawing more and more in to fill itself. But only one thing fits and lasts.... Our creator.
