Did God Use Evolution. Get the book! Worldview does matter. Available in our online store, this thought-provoking book will help you to critically analyze and reject the assumptions and consequences of theistic evolution. The theory of evolution is currently so widely established that it could be described as the all-inclusive and even the only philosophy of the 20th century.
The idea of self-organization from the simple to the more complex has been commonly appropriated—even in disciplines foreign to biological evolution. Theology, too, was affected; evolutionary ideas have even been carried into biblical exegesis. We will show below why evolutionistic thought is completely foreign to the Bible. The basic assumptions of science are discussed in a separate chapter. Use of the term “the theory of evolution” is intentionally avoided, because, according to the standards of scientific theory, evolution is a philosophical doctrine and not a scientific theory. Help keep these daily articles coming. The Scientific Case Against Evolution. By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. Belief in evolution is a remarkable phenomenon. It is a belief passionately defended by the scientific establishment, despite the lack of any observable scientific evidence for macroevolution (that is, evolution from one distinct kind of organism into another).
This odd situation is briefly documented here by citing recent statements from leading evolutionists admitting their lack of proof. These statements inadvertently show that evolution on any significant scale does not occur at present, and never happened in the past, and could never happen at all. Evolution Is Not Happening Now First of all, the lack of a case for evolution is clear from the fact that no one has ever seen it happen. Evolutionary geneticists have often experimented on fruit flies and other rapidly reproducing species to induce mutational changes hoping they would lead to new and better species, but these have all failed to accomplish their goal. Evolution Never Happened in the Past.
Identifying Neandertal Man. Bones were discovered in a cave in Germany’s Neander Valley in the middle 1800s. Since then, many more “Neandertal” remains have been uncovered. The story has been told that they wore no clothes, had a very primitive culture, and hunted animals with clubs as they evolved from an ape-like to a man-like creature. But is this an accurate picture? Theistic evolutionists and progressive creationists believe that Neandertal and similar “cavemen” lived in a time long before Adam and Eve. One progressive creationist said, “Based on both skeletal and genetic comparisons, it can be conclusively said that the Neanderthal are not related to humans nor are they an ancestor to humans.”1 Biblical creationists, however, have long taught that Neandertals were fully human descendants of Noah who lived alongside other men during the post-Flood Ice Age.2 Which perspective most easily accommodates the scientific evidence?
So, “cavemen” did not simply hunt for meat. References Millam, J. . * Mr. Contrasting Worldviews. Buried deep in the human psyche are timeless questions, questions that surface frequently and suddenly throughout one’s lifetime. Every person capable of rational thought thinks these things. There are no exceptions. There are no exclusions. Who am I? (identity) Why am I here? No human being operates without a bias, a predisposition to believe one idea over another. The naturalist believes that there is no supernatural force in existence and that man has reached the stage in eternity where he is able to direct the evolutionary development of the universe.
The common data that both believers share will be interpreted in the light of the belief system (worldview, faith) that the individual holds. The Bible describes the many facets of belief systems (worldviews) in their simplest and most fundament form: truth or lie. The ultimate contrast is between the revelation of the Creator-God who cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18) and the great adversary, Satan, who is the “father” of the lie (John 8:44).
Creationism and the problem of homosexual behaviour. Featured In Abstract The evolutionist view of the origin of homosexuality in contrast to the creationist explanation is reviewed. Creationists conclude that the physical bodies and minds of humans were designed to produce heterosexual behaviour for the primary purposes of reproduction and bonding. Darwinism would select for fertility and thus heterosexuality, but would be neutral relative to homosexual behaviour that did not interfere with reproduction rates. Introduction Both the creationist and evolutionary naturalist world views influence the sex norms and behaviour of their respective adherents. In a survey of church position statements on homosexuality, Siker notes that Also commonly cited is 1 Corinthians 6:9, which states: These texts, and the teachings of the church fathers, have been the major historical Christian basis for condemning homosexual behaviour.
In the West, this position has been the majority view for most of the last two millennia. The evolution explanation. Creation Seminars | Creation Science Evangelism.

What Do the Cults Believe? | Creation Science Evangelism.
Over 80% of the membership of the cults is composed of ex-Christians who were once members of orthodox denominations. Christians must be grounded in the Word of God if they are to avoid suffering the same fate (Heb. 5:12-14). We must be sure of our beliefs and be able to back them up with the Bible (1 Pet. 3:15; Col. 4:6). The cultist speaks the Christian’s language (Matt. 7:15-23; 2 Cor. 11:13-15) but he worships “another Jesus” (2 Cor. 11:1-4). The Bible warns of the rise of false religions in our day, (See 2 Tim. 3:1-9, 4:3-4; 2 Pet. 2:1-3, 18, 19; 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 1 Jn. 4:1-6.) Many of them appear to be Christian but they have redefined biblical terminology into a language that is completely foreign to the Bible. What can Christians do? If our witness is not accepted by the cultist, we must part company with him (2 Jn. 10, 11; Titus 3:10-11; Rom. 16:17-18).

Humans all have a tendency to align with those with whom we have things in common. Whether these commonalities are based on looking the same, having similar tastes or holding the same beliefs, groups form for various reasons. At Creation Science Evangelism (CSE), we have based our ministry on the literal interpretation of the creation as told in Genesis; that the world was created in six literal days, about 6,000 years ago (not billions). Let’s explore how some Christian denominations treat the creation story. Catholic “The books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures.”
Assemblies of God Recently, this denomination changed its position on creation. Lutheran Southern Baptist By examining information on their website, Southern Baptists seem to believe in the literal, spontaneous creation as the Bible has stated it. Seventh-Day Adventist Anglican Methodist/Wesleyan Presbyterian. Thanks for Everything. "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. " (Ephesians 5:20) Being thankful for everything that happens in his or her life to a Christian believer is listed in this section of Paul's letter to the Ephesians as one of the evidences that a Christian is indeed "filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). That is not all. Not only for everything, but in everything, we should give thanks to God. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). These two commands are easy to obey when the living is easy, as the song says, though we might easily forget to do so.
Because He has allowed it for a good purpose! They Say, We Say: Evidence of the Obvious | Creation Science Evangelism. Evidence that God exists, that Christ is the Son of God and that, along with the Holy Spirit, God encompasses these three identities, appears in the Bible; in fact, throughout the Bible. To know that the one God created the universe forms the basis of faith, our foundation. We know God created the world and everything in it, and see evidence of this every day in its order and complexity and the way all things fit together in an extraordinary planned sequence. Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety. —René Daumal (1903–1944) Extraordinary order = Unimaginable Intelligence This irrevocable order comes from the undisputable intelligence that created it, ordered it, even maintains it, in spite of man’s interference.
