Surely evolution and science have disproved the creation story in the Bible as mere myth?
Previous ] Contents ] Next ]

This view is so widely held today that anybody who tries to challenge it is ridiculed and thought stupid and unscientific. These people certainly think so:

  1. In 1996 geneticist H.J. Muller circulated a document signed by 177 American biologists who asserted that the organic evolution of all things, man included, from primitive life forms and even ultimately from non-living materials, is a fact of science as well established as the fact that the earth is round.
  2. Rene Dubos, America’s top ecologist stated: ‘Most enlightened persons now accept as a fact that everything in the cosmos – from heavenly bodies to human beings – has developed and continued to develop through evolutionary processes.’
  3. Oxford Zoologist Richard Dawkins is the most outspoken person against the Christian view of creation. He informs us graciously: ‘It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet a person who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that)’ I should add that one of Dawkins ‘bugbears’ about Christians is their intolerance of others!!!

Now the arguments surrounding the whole issue of evolution over and against the creation model are very complex in parts. I recommend the following website which aims to answer questions raised by evolutionists:

www.AnswersInGenesis.org

There are two main forms of evolution; ‘Macro’ and ‘Micro’.

Microevolution Microevolution teaches us that organisms of the same species adapt to differing natural environments. This is not contested in any circles.

Macroevolution Macroevolution takes it on a step further by saying that all life on this planet evolved from a common primal origin and what we have now is a result of a process of natural selection. (In effect man has about the same importance on this planet as a flea!!)

There are massive problems with Macroevolution, which have never and can never be answered by any scientist anywhere in the world.

  1. The odds of primeval slime mutating into something as simple as a plant has been calculated at exorbitant odds (a number 1 with three million noughts after it, to 1 to be exact!) What odds of mutating into something as complex as a human being?
  2. If we are to accept that evolution takes place over millions of years, how do we know that it is taking place right now? We must note that the idea of millions of years is no longer the upheld theory of evolution. The current theory of evolution is called Punctuated Equilibria. This states that species evolved in very short periods of time (one-generation to 1000 years) to accommodate the fossil record. This actually causes the statistics against evolution to rise considerably.
  3. Why is there no transitional fossil evidence in the world to back up the claim of macroevolution? For instance, if we do come from monkey’s we should expect a few million skeletons lying around as proof. Yet we do not even have one!

Evolutionists like Christians must take their view of the creation of the world as a matter of faith because evolution is certainly not a science. Science is concerned with absolute knowledge of a given subject by continuous testing which should produce consistent results in order to be established as a ‘fact’. This is impossible with regard to evolution because nobody was around to record and observe what took place at the beginning of the earth, therefore any conclusions are based purely on hypothesis and guesswork.

British anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith let the cat out of the bag when he said: ‘Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable.’

The Bible tells us: ‘The wrath (anger) of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them…They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator.’
