Adherence and the Evolution of Mankind

The Bible does deal with evolution, in fact, the bible is in direct contradiction with it. The first problem with it is, that when people are given the choice between science and the Bible, they think, “oh, well, the Bible doesn't talk about science, and science is always true, right? You can see science.” But that is the problem. Then when they listen to scientific experts that endorse evolution and the theory that Earth is billions of years old, they adopt that as their foundation for knowledge of the world. Therefore when they see something like rock layers they automatically assume that those rock layers were formed over long periods of time. You see, we must found everything we believe on an absolute point of reference, so when we base anything on this absolute, it will be true. John 17:17: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The evolutionists have no absolute point of reference, so they have built their house on the shifting sands. Since there is only one absolute point of reference, the Bible, let us go to it in search of something that refers to how old the Earth is. Genesis 1:3-5: 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Most “evolutionary Christians” will try to make the evenings and mornings of the Creation period millions of years long, but that is totally out of context. Whenever the Bible refers to a “day” or “evening” or “morning” they mean a literal consecutive day, evening, or morning. Also, evolution appears to be in contradiction with several scientific laws, such as the laws of thermodynamics and such. Although there are several examples of the contradiction of science and evolution that has been argued, disproved, and proved by several people and in several books, evolutionists will not listen to that. Because of their pride and constant denial of creation, very few non-Creation-believers will be swayed by evidence. Instead you need to argue with their presuppositions. A presupposition is the underlying foundation and origin point of the person's ideas or concepts. For example, when someone claims that evolution is true, their presupposition is that evolution is a fact, and not theory, all evidence supports it, all rational people believe in it, and it is the best explanation of the beginning of the universe. But then you need to point out that evolution contradicts itself, evolution is only put forth by a few scientists, and none of these theory's stand up to rigorous pressure. Creation has evidence, while evolution has only dogmatic faith. If they have trouble believing what you say, you can switch from presuppositionalism to evidentialism. One of my favorite books on evidentialism, if that is a word, is Evidence that Demands a Verdict, and More Evidence that Demands a Verdict, both by Josh McDowell. It takes into detail the historical accuracy of the Bible. I hope this has clarified what you need clarified! Remember to start with the only absolute, when you make an argument, adhere to the Good News, and have a good day.
