Science can tell us a lot about WHAT happened, but science cannot tell us WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE for the history of life on earth.
God said that the earth brought forth living things. Science is coming to the same conclusion.
This is hardly surprising, since science cannot possible explain miracles, and that is what life on earth is - a serie of miracles that has unfolded over vast periods of time.
God says not. The initial creation was a miracle. But God does most everything by natural means in this world, and has since the beginning.
The theory of evolution is the best scientific explanation for the history of life on earth, but that doesn't mean that theory is a good one - and it isn't.
Let's ask YE creationist who's familiar with evolutionary theory:
Evolution is not a theory in crisis. It is not teetering on the verge of collapse. It has not failed as a scientific explanation. There is evidence for evolution, gobs and gobs of it. It is not just speculation or a faith choice or an assumption or a religion. It is a productive framework for lots of biological research, and it has amazing explanatory power. There is no conspiracy to hide the truth about the failure of evolution. There has really been no failure of evolution as a scientific theory. It works, and it works well.
I say these things not because I'm crazy or because I've "converted" to evolution. I say these things because they are true. I'm motivated this morning by reading yet another clueless, well-meaning person pompously declaring that evolution is a failure. People who say that are either unacquainted with the inner workings of science or unacquainted with the evidence for evolution. (Technically, they could also be deluded or lying, but that seems rather uncharitable to say. Oops.)
Creationist students, listen to me very carefully: There is evidence for evolution, and evolution is an extremely successful scientific theory. That doesn't make it ultimately true, and it doesn't mean that there could not possibly be viable alternatives. It is my own faith choice to reject evolution, because I believe the Bible reveals true information about the history of the earth that is fundamentally incompatible with evolution. I am motivated to understand God's creation from what I believe to be a biblical, creationist perspective. Evolution itself is not flawed or without evidence. Please don't be duped into thinking that somehow evolution itself is a failure. Please don't idolize your own ability to reason. Faith is enough. If God said it, that should settle it. Maybe that's not enough for your scoffing professor or your non-Christian friends, but it should be enough for you.
Dr. Todd Wood, YE creationist
A scientific theory that attempts to explain a miracle of God is 100% guaranteed to fail.
Fortunately, God does most things by natural means, which we can learn about and understand.
The atheism-dominated scientific community...
Is a creationist superstition. In fact, the the majority of scientists are theists of some sort, mostly Christian.
