Evolution: Science or

Science Fiction?

by Nic Samojluk


A few years ago, Adventist Today conducted a survey among Seventh-day Adventists teachers and discovered that almost fifty percent of them believed in the theory of evolution. I never dreamed that I would see the day when I would read this kind of report. Of course, we are not alone in experiencing this kind of trend towards Darwin's explanation for origins. Many other Christians are moving in the same direction, as evidenced by the following report:

Quote:
As a Christian, Curt Blankespoor believes in biblical infallibility. He accepts as part of his faith that the Bible is the inerrant word of God.

“God created the world and man in his own image,” said Blankespoor, a biology professor at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. — a Christian institution of the reformed tradition.

His faith makes the answer to why we were created easy. But when it comes to how God created the world, the evolutionary biologist supports the scientific stance on evolution.

Blankespoor is typical of many Christian professors who teach science around the United States — they are teaching evolution, often with rigor equal to their colleagues at secular colleges. This may come as a surprise because of the controversy in the United States surrounding evolution in public high schools. Those who are the most vocal proponents of teaching alternatives to evolution — such as intelligent design — are conservative Christians ...

Is this kind of compromise acceptable for those who claim to have the last message for a perishing world? I think not! From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible points to God as the Creator of all life and everything that exists. There is no biblical support for Darwin's theory of common descent, while all the biblical references point to a common Designer. There is no possible compromise between evolution and true Christianity. Science demands experimentation, verification, and replication, which the followers of Darwin have failed so far to produce in support of their godless theory.

The theory of Evolution is based on mere speculation and is worth no more than science fiction. We can breed dogs, moths, and finches ad nauseam and all we get is more dogs, moths and finches. Besides, the supporters of Darwin's theory have never been able to produce life from non-living, inert matter; and the day they manage to accomplish such a feat, it will be evidence that life is the product of Intelligence Design.
