Christian Creation vs Evolution Theory
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 He rose again from the dead and is seated on the right hand side of God.
And 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?
Evolution is now being taught at schools, colleges and universities. The media print anything that is claimed to prove that evolution is true. Most evolutionists mock Christianity at every opportunity rather than producing the evidence that the Bible is wrong! Evolutionists are happy to make 'scientific' statements without any scientific proof whatsoever to support their claims. If you read the blogs and discussion boards you will see that that evolutionary 'proof' is simply mocking Christianity.
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 a belief in the Christian God.
Is it the 'scientific' status of many of the critics of Christianity that causes Christians to be unwilling to stand up for Creation occurring in six days? Or is it that many Christians know very little about Evolution, and they are thus 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 science itself does not support it.
In fact one needs more faith to believe in evolution because that means a belief that the massive and complex Universe in which we live exists simply by pure random chance. Worse, evolutionists have to believe that there is no purpose at all in their lives!
The complexity of lifeforms is staggering. The idea that such complex lifeforms can evolve naturally is, in my view ridiculous! The cell is not a simple or even fairly complex entity. It is amazingly complex! The estimated 8.7 million species on planet Earth have all supposedly been simpler lifeforms in the past. There is no evidence, let alone proof, of this. We have many, many relatively simple species (such as insects perhaps) in existance now. Why haven't they all evolved over the millions of years?
Richard Dawkins
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 knows that evolution is not proven science. Because he continues to believe in evolution then to him it is a faith!

STEPHEN HAWKINGS - 'there is no afterlife'
How sad that Hawkins really believes that his life has little more meaning than the brief flame of a match in a dark night! His amazing complex brain which has contributed so much to the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity/black holes etc. is apparantly just a random collection of cells accidently able to do so much! Perhaps he should think about the odds of evolution creating such a complex mechanism purely by chance. 16th May 2011
