Why perpetuate the foolish creation vs. evolution debate?

Question:

Why perpetuate the foolish creation vs. evolution debate? There is no debate. Science has proven Evolution true. Though scientifically inaccurate, the Bible’s truths should not be distorted to try and address science, the Hebrews (and Christians after them, I’m afraid) being rather poor scientists, even by Ancient Greek standards. “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Listen to Jesus and pay attention to his life. Jesus is constantly revising the Old Testament, the received text of his day, making adjustments heralding his remarkable Kingdom of Heaven.

The Bible (Old and New Testaments, btw) is composed of paper with words written down by fallible men. God is perfect and NOTHING else is in the universe. God is NOT paper. Jesus already made all this very clear. The Pharisees clung to the old paper. What do you cling to?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting my site and contributing your thoughts. Let me address your viewpoints one by one.

“Why perpetuate the foolish “Creation vs. Evolution debate”? There is no debate. Science has proven Evolution true.”
I would submit that this is not a foolish debate because its implications are real and significant. The linkage between our origins and thus the concepts of a Creator and our identity definitely hinge on this evolutionary debate. Your assertion that there is no debate and that evolutionism has been proven true is also unfounded as creationism and evolutionism are both theories held by two camps. As a side note, it is interesting …

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delay since my last post. I have been quite busy with work, church service and recent happenings in my family life.

I am currently working on a study in response to a question I received with regards to the Creation vs. Evolution debate. Due to the complex nature of this dialogue I am taking my time conducting in-depth research and hope to post on this topic in the coming months. Beyond dealing with an academic debate on a topic such as evolution that seemingly provides a safe haven for atheists I find it interesting that sometimes we, as Christians (including myself), have not taken advantage of the persistent opportunities we have to educate those we know on how creation really took place and thus creating an evangelistic opportunity. If we can establish biblical creationism as a legitimate scientific explanation of the origins of the all that is created in effect we create a logic predicament for atheists - “If earth and man was created… well then who is the Creator?” And wouldn’t we all want to hear that question when we think about and pray for all the people we know who do not trust in one true triune God?

In the meantime I plan to post on a few others topics and also ask for your prayers as I prepare for my second opportunity to preach on a Sunday morning scheduled for October 18 (details on the Events Calendar on the main page of TiS). I also ask for all your prayers for my family as my mother will …
