CreationWise.com discusses the hypothesis of evolution and the Genesis 1 creation from a Christian perspective.

Christians have the Bible as their touchstone. Most believe that Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary to pay the price for their sin and that Jesus rose again from the dead and is seated on the right hand side of God.
Most believe that the Old Testament is the history of God's people up to the birth of Christ.

So why do many Christians apparantly not accept the Genesis description of Creation? Although none of us were there at the time, many Christians feel that they can choose to ignore what God has allowed to be put in His Bible!

Is it simply that Christians can accept spiritual things that they cannot see and choose to overrule the Bible when their natural senses appear to contradict what the Bible says?

People are now being taught evolution at schools, colleges and universities. The media print anything that is claimed to prove that evolution is true. The one thing that most evolutionists do is to mock Christianity at every opportunity. Even some Oxford professors would prefer to mock Christianity rather than prove Evolution scientifically! I wonder whether this is because they know that their scientific arguments will not stand scrutiny and rubbishing the opposition keeps people's attention from this fact?

There is little difference between the theory of evolution and other religions such as Hinduism, sun worshippers, Seikism, Buddism etc. They are all alternatives to belief in the Christian God.

Is it the 'scientific' status of the critics of Christianity that makes Christians unwilling to stand up for Creation occurring in six days? Or is it that many Christians know very little about the theory of Evolution, and they are simply unable to respond to the critics of the Biblical Creation in six days, as described in Genesis?

Those who believe that Darwin's theory of evolution is the scientific explanation of the existance of the universe and of life on earth, need to understand that it is just a theory and that the science itself does not support it. In fact one needs more faith to believe in evolution and that we exist simply by pure random chance and that there is no purpose at all in our lives, than one does to believe in a Creator God!

In an interesting debate between Richard Dawkins and John Mackay, the International Director of Creation Research, Richard Dawkins made the following statement:

The refusal to believe in anything you can't see yourself is absurd. Think about it, I never saw Napoleon with my own eyes, but that doesn't mean Napoleon didn't exist. John Mackay can't see a cell or an atom or weather systems on the other side of the world. Does that mean they don't exist!

There are two points that come from this. The first is that Dawkins is confirming that there is no way of proving evolution. The second is that Dawkin's belief in evolution is no different to a Christian's belief in Creation. They are both faith systems. If one could prove a faith system then it no longer needs faith, it becomes fact. Dawkins does not believe that evolution is proven science, to him it is a faith!

Christians really do not need to be concerned about accepting the Genesis creation in 6 days. Evolution is just another anti-Christian faith-based religion!

Question: Does it matter if Christians do not accept Genesis as the way the universe and the earth were created?
Answer: I think that it does for several reasons:

But even at this stage God had provided a way for restoration. Jesus Christ fulfilled the the plan of God. Without the fall of Man why do Christians need Jesus Christ at all? You can see why non-Christians need to attack Genesis 1! It highlights their need to accept Christ as their Saviour and they do not want to do this!

As Christians we should not be concerned about Darwin and theories of evolution (in the same way we should not be concerned about the other religions). There is no difference between the theory of Evolution and the other major world religions. They are all opposed to Christianity and they all have their own doctrines that may be similar to Christianity or may be radically different.

Why are Christians concerned about what other religions think of Christianity!
Evolution is simply a religion with a worldview that excludes the Christian God and evolutionists are simply attempting to promote their own religious beliefs.
They also have their own 'priests' who spend their time promoting the theory of evolution and rubbishing the other religions, especially Christianity.

Note how the theory of evolution changes almost every five minutes because it is based on a visual perception of the world. The 'scientific' statements that are made to support evolution are not absolute truths, they change continually with new discoveries.

Evolution as a rational scientific theory is in it's death throes now anyway. Only where evolution is akin to a religion or where people have simply accepted it but never bothered to check the evidence for themselves, is it still thought to be credible.

We still hear the media using the same old justifications of evolution, Darwin's finches, Ernst Haeckel's embryos (a fraud!), Dr Ketterwell's peppered moths and other statements with no scientific backing at all! People who get their information from the newspapers and news media will be very uninformed!

Christians know the Bible is the Word of God to us. They know that they should trust God and that what He says really does matter! No Christian will have any problems standing before Christ and say that they believed the Word of God as written in the Bible. I am not sure about those Christians who tell Jesus that they believed that most of the Bible was true but the bit about Creation was obviously not serious!
