A good friend of mine asked me the other day how I can just blindly accept something, (God,) that cannot be proven. First I told him that a firmly believe that the existence of God can be, and has been proven. Then I told him, "I think it's funny that people are so quick to criticize Christians for accepting things by faith, but those same people will so quickly accept evolution as fact."
From Creationists.org:
"When people visit a museum they are confronted by bits and pieces of bones and other fossils neatly arranged in glass cases. These are often accompanied by pictures representing an artist's impression of what the animals and plants could have looked like in their natural environment. Remember, no one dug up the picture, just the fossils. And these fossils exist in the present. For example, in Tasmania there is a sandstone bed containing millions of pieces of bones, most of which are no larger than the end of your thumb. The evolutionists have placed a picture at one particular excavation so that tourists can see how the animals and plants lived in the region "millions of years ago." You can stare at those pieces of bones for as long as you like, but you will never see the picture the scientists have drawn. The picture is their story of their own preconceived bias, and that, ultimately, is all it ever can be."
The fact is that the entire THEORY of evolution is built upon unstable science and thoughts about what scientists think MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. They have found bones that they think MIGHT support the theory, but every time they find another set, it is later proven to be either fake, or mis-understood.
To believe in evolution is to blindly accept, (by faith,) stories from mere men. At least my religion involves the acceptance of one who is bigger than I could ever be. Given the choice between the words of God, and the words of men, I'll take God's word any day.

I would like to state that while most all Christians disagree with evolution, many of us do believe in adaptation, which is a great meeting point when confronting issues to those people like you defined.
ReplyDeleteThere is Micro Evolution and Macro Evolution. I believe that what you are refering to is Micro Evolution. This is where certain species evolve slightly to adapt to their environments. This is scientificly documented and there is no doubt in my mind that it is real.
ReplyDeleteMacro Evolution is evovling from one species intro an entirely different species. This is a theory and has no actual scientific proof that it is even possible.
First, I agree that evolution would require faith in chance, since it cannot be proven. I also think there is a lot of proof in creationism. The Bible has not been found scientifically discredible, but faith is the most important part. Romans 3:22-26 "even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
ReplyDeleteAs far as "meeting point", adaptation occurs. However, the theory of evolution promotes superiority among races and gender. "The strongest survives". It gives no reason for moral justice, if there are no eternal consequences. Furthermore, I know there is a wide belief and acceptance that evolution occured after the flood. I do not support that.
