God vs. Evolution.

Most Christians don’t even try to cope with the complexities of evolution let alone refute the philosophy.  It isn’t real science you know.  It is theory, a philosophy; it is a supposition despite the so called “evidences” which prove the theory.  Science should be based on facts not supposition.  The way I learned about science was this.  You come up with an idea, a theory in fact…. something that warrants scientific inquiry.  Once the theory is formulated then through study and experimentation the theory is proved or disproved.  There is no guessing involved.  Evolution is based on unverifiable data.  The theory also involves circular reasoning.  The ages of the rock strata are verified from fossils…Oops……..No!..the fossils are dated by the rocks!!  Oh dear, what a problem for evolutionists. 

Remember the Piltdown man?  He was proven to be a fake.  I remember those little charts which showed the evolution of man from a humpbacked ape looking creature to Homos erectus…..that’s us or something similar. 

Do you believe that God is the author of death and decay? That He allowed the millions of years and the “accidental” evolution of His creation?  Do you believe that Jesus came to only promote the goodness of man?  That the Bible which teaches us about sin and death is merely a collection of stories on how to behave nicely?   Then this writing isn’t for you.

The Bible which I read states there was a real man called Adam who sinned and brought death to all people.  Therefore we need a Savior since we are unable to save ourselves! Evolution negates Adam, Eve and the Christian meaning of sin and salvation ……the very reason why Jesus’ (Jeshua) earthly life was necessary.  Here is what Paul wrote in letter to the Corinthians (1) 15:21-22.
              “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.”

Historians depict the longstanding tension between what evolutionism means and the Christian faith.  William McLoughlin of Brown University sums up what many believers concluded early on about evolutionism:

              “It (evolution) challenged the Bible by denying its account of creation.  It challenged the concept of an absolute moral law by its doctrine of survival of the fittest.  It challenged the millennial goal by describing nature as amoral and purposeless.”

Or perhaps this statement might sum up the theistic evolution theory.  (John Bascom. 1897)….  ” It was a slow spiritual process of adjustment to environment; salvation was the slow evolution progress of the race in conformity with the laws of nature!”

My last quote from a the American Atheist magazine ( 1978)
              “Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary.  Destroy Adam ad Even and the original sin and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god…taking away the meaning of his death.  If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing.” 

What does your faith mean to you?
