Bible Note: Evolution is not a prerequisite to Dr. Ross' thesis. However, I'm not a life scientist, so I don't know the details of that THEORY. However, I do know that the theory of evolution, for whatever utility it may have in modelling the process of speciation, has been extrapolated way beyond what the biological evidence supports. This theory attempts to explain a narrowly defined set of observations and cannot be reasonably generalized to the whole of creation. What I do know is, as we learn more about Creation, we learn more about ourselves, for we are part of Creation, and these things can only confirm what God reveals in His Word. I agree God does as He wills, so we cannot impose constraints on Him, except of course that He is Holy and does not lie to us in His Creation, Word, Incarnation, Resurrection, Ascension, Glorification, Indwelling, Outpouring or Return. |
