Bible Note: Parable: You write, "Rather, evolutionary models are being demonstrated in ever more powerful ways. Evolution ranks with quantum mechanics, relativity, and atomic theory as foundational to the modern scientific understanding of the physical universe. Tell me, why should anyone accept the "modern scientific understanding of the physical universe" as being the absolute truth, when it is an incontrovertible historical fact that "scientific understanding" has changed and often reversed itself since the idea of "scientific understanding" came into being? ..... You write further: "'True' Christians need not fear the truths that science reveals, for science, when done properly, can only reveal God's creation." ..... Who is the judge of whether science is "done properly." How does evolution "reveal God's creation" and since when has this theory been elevated to the status of one of "the truths that science reveals"? How can the theory of evolution be reconciled with the Genesis account of creation? Darwin himself admitted it could not be done, yet some Christians today believe the lie of evolution and attempt in vain to reconcile it with God's account of creation. .... You further state, "Attempts to promote biblical truth by discrediting science will continue to turn people away from God." Haven't you got the cart before the horse? The truth is that attempts to promote science by discrediting the Bible will continue to turn people away from God. ..... Parable, if you go back, say, 500 years -- or even 100 years -- and read what the "modern scientists" of those days were saying about what "scientific truth" was then, and compare it with the picture of "scientific truth" that is being painted today, you will get a dramatically different and frequently conflicting picture of what the scientific community calls "the truth that science reveals." Jesus said it once and for all: "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." [John 14:6] It is God through His Son Christ Jesus, not Darwin through his theory of evolution, who has revealed the truth to mankind. It is the Bible, not "Origin of Species," that reveals the origin and destiny of man and offers hope of redemption through the shed blood of Christ on the cross. ..... I fail to find in Romans 1:20 anything remotely having to do with the pseudo-scientific theory of evolution. Perhaps you can explain it. --Hank |
