Evolution vs. God

Yesterday I finally watched the video Evolution vs. God with Ray Comfort.  In this video, Ray chats with a number of the nation’s leading experts on evolution as well as a large number of college students going into the sciences.  Throughout these interviews, Ray continues to ask for proof of evolution.  Simply put, one example of one type of animal becoming another.  Not just a mutation as we have seen even in our time, changes in bacteria, or types of birds that change to better live in an environment.  Ray however is looking for a change of type; just one example of a fish becoming a cat, or a cat becoming a monkey.

Surprising to some, not surprising to others, none of the college students could think of any such examples of evolution.  Despite having an extensive fossil record to look at, and evolution apparently taking billions and billions of years we have no winged t-rex, or gilled monkeys.  The students however had faith they must exist.  The professors however had a different outlook on things.  They felt it was absurd to ask for proof like that, because it simply did not exist. 

By the end of the interview, these experts were admitting what we already know.  Evolution is not a scientific

fact, there is no proof that we all evolved out of nothing.  All we have, in fact, is an untestable theory.  By the end of the conversation, even these experts had to admit it requires a certain amount of faith to believe in evolution.

Today, many Christians are buying into Evolution.  Why?  Perhaps because it is now taught as fact in our schools and colleges, despite being nothing more than a theory.  Perhaps because many Christians today want to be more and more accepted by their unsaved piers.  Instead of standing up to the truths found in the Scriptures, they try to combine their faith with this worldly “science”.  In doing so they have come up with ideas like Theistic Evolution, choosing to believe that God started things creating a “big bang” then stepped back and let things happen how they may, until Adam finally evolved from a monkey and then Eve shortly thereafter. 

As Christians, it is important that we stand up against allowing these ideas of humanism to take root in our core beliefs.  The first thing we learn in Sunday School, the first thing we learn in VBS.  The first words written in God’s message to us:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

When we speak with our evolutionist friends and families, let’s stand up for our beliefs.  Ask them to show you the proof.  Just one cat evolving into a cow… just one.  When they can’t, get them to admit the truth they have known all along, that they are putting their faith in the wisdom of man, over the wisdom of God.
