A Florida official was "rebuked" by the State for an email in which she opposed evolution. The St. Pete Times article tells the story. What frustrates me is the arrogance of the pro-monkey side mocking Creationists for trying to teach their faith as science (they may use a capital "S" in science). However, evolution takes a great deal more faith than does a creation by a Creator God.
Evolution, at its core, is atheistic. Sure, some try to push a "gap theory" trying to separate Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, but the gap is really found between their ears. They try to fill a gap that is not found in Genesis. Some try to suggest "theistic evolution." They are the faithless, who will take the word of men over God's Word- even when those men are dis-proven time after time. There are multiple examples where missing links or other evidence was found to be other than what was first thought. And the presupposition that the earth is billions of years old is based on very questionable "science." One of my college papers was on the age of the earth. Though I attempted to be balanced, I found too much contradiction from the evolutionary camp itself. Maybe their argument will evolve into something believable without so much faith one day. Of course, then they would probably be Creationists!
The bottom line is this: evolution is for three types of people- the ignorant, atheists and idiots.Labels: Apologetics, Science |
