The recent flare up in the creation/evolution debate in our country demonstrates how much tension exists regarding the origin of the universe. Many insist on a completely naturalistic explanation, claiming that any view that requires God is unscientific. If you take the time to read their writings, you will quickly realize the arrogant snobbery and intellectual elitism these secular humanists have as their core belief. Others compromise, claiming to believe in both God and evolution. These people have cowardly caved in to the demands of evolutionists because their faith is too weak to take God at his Word.
The Bible begins by saying, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 NKJV). The account that follows markedly disagrees with the evolutionary theory, making all attempts to “harmonize” the two a sad commentary on the hermeneutics of those involved. Some attempt to justify a belief in God and evolution by denying that the Genesis record is accurate, but this would mean that it was deliberately misleading-an implication with serious consequences (Titus 1:2). Then the atheists who attempt to browbeat others with their scientific jargon have the gall to call belief in creation “unscientific” when the biblical account squares with all known facts. They call us unscientific because we do not accept their interpretation-pure and simple. Besides, macroevolution itself defies many laws of science. Now, who is unscientific?
