Okay, this isn’t exactly a verse in the bible, but I wanted to get your attention.

As I’ve been doing my word study on righteousness, thoughts naturally gravitate back to Evolution, Creationism, and Geocreationism. I’ve been reading this great book which I cannot find in my morning haze, but it advances the common argument that God’s testimony is in scripture and in science.  In other words, what we discover about the world, is knowledge that God wants us to have… and why wouldn’t He?  I mean, anything we learn about Him, whether it be how He saved us from our sins, or created the world in which live, is more knowledge about Him and His love for us.  Why wouldn’t I want …

Jesus told us that without man to bear witness of God, the very rocks would cry out.  I believe they do, through the evidence for Evolution.  Rocks indeed.  For if Evolution happened, then it was according to God’s plan, design, and will; the earth apparently believed God where many of us today do not… and the earth obeyed.

Over the last 2 years of studying and writing Geocreationism, I have slowly come to accept evolution more than before.  Though I still have questions in my mind, I keep finding more reasons to believe that God a created a universe in which life would evolve according to His predetermined plan.

Early on in my blog, I found a post entitled Mass Delusion - 10 Reasons Why the Majority of Scientists Believe in Evolution.  I never responded to it, but at the time as I was merely sympathetic to Evolution.  While I am not full-on advocate for Evolution, it is the most logically choice to me, and fits my interpretation of scripture better than anything else I’ve studied.  This …

In “Beyond the Firmament” (Review) - Genesis is Literal, I write about an interesting phenomenon.  It would seem that Moses — some would dispute whether it’s Moses, but that’s beside the point for now — wrote what he thought was a historically accurate account of Creation.  We now know that he was wrong — it was not historically accurate.  However, as GJG of BTF points out, when we put on our Moses hat, and try to view the world as the ancient Hebrews did, we realize that what Moses echoed the account with which they were already familiar, but with the added detail that God is the one who did …

I have just completed reading Gordon J. Glover’s excellent book, “Beyond the Firmament”.  It was very helpful in helping me clarify my views on Creation and Genesis 1, and has made me open to the idea of abandoning the umbrella of “Theistic Evolution”, in favor of just unabashedly saying “Evolution”.  This is no small feat.

I have documented on this blog a scriptural basis for seeing Jesus at Creation, and His involvement in it.  I stand by it, but I realize that I must soften some of my language.  I have historically sounded like the insights I write of was God’s own message.  I want to clarify that I do not believe that is true.  On the contrary, I agree …

After taking a hiatus, I am back to the task of reviewing Glenn Morton’s evidence for humanity extending back 5.5 million years, which is when Morton believes Adam and Noah lived.  In Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 1 - Altars), I concluded that it was reasonable to consider Altars as evidence of humanity.  Even Hugh Ross uses that as a criterion for dating the beginning of humanity, though he only goes back 24,000 years.  Then, in Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 2 - Neanderthals), I reviewed …

God’s Wrath on Mankind

Racism

DeRosa documents the racist undertones in some of the early Evolutionary literature.  Though certainly not Darwin’s intention, the idea of Natural Selection fed an assessment of the races based on where each falls in the spectrum between advanced society and primitive ape.  Such conclusions are offensive and unbiblical, and have a modern root in society’s acceptance of Evolutionary theory.
The late Stephen Jay Gould, a prolific evangelist for evolution, acknowledged evolution’s racist impact, stating,

“Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.”
Additional application of these “insights” has led to philosophies embracing racial purity and supporting abortion.

Nazism

Darwinian evolution undoubtedly influenced Hitler’s ability to rationalize the …

I ended “Evidence for Creation” (Review) - Chapter 5 “Evidence from Man” (Part 1) rather unfortunately.  I closed with this:
DeRosa’s reasoning reminds me of the little kid who gets made [fun of because] the big kids won’t let him use their baseball bat. “Well it’s a stupid bat anyway.”  Maybe.  Or perhaps you don’t know how to play baseball, and they don’t want their “stupid bat” getting broken.
I reread it today and I clearly sounded like I think Creation Scientists cannot be trusted with handling fossils.  I apologize for that.  I have no doubt as to their trustworthiness.  My point was that the people overseeing the fossils probably do not …

I have finally reached the last chapter of Tom DeRosa’s Evidence for Creation.  This good Christian man has continuously shown misunderstandings of science and the scientific method, presented evidence for Creation Science that also supports Evolution, engaged in arguments against Evolution that are only true if one assumes the conclusion, and presented conflicting data as evidence.  This may well become the basis of my final summary for the book.  One more chapter to go however…

Evidence From Man
Evolutionists have a compelling reason to demonstrate an evolutionary link between man and ape.  They know that if they succeed, they will silence the arguments of those who believe in special creation.  Without any question, evolution would triumph if the fossil evidence were to …

Well, I am almost done with chapter 4 (yay).  I had to slow down because my holiday vacation ended and I had to go back to work.  Let me jump right in…

Monkey and Man DNA
No one will disagree after a visit to the zoo that chimps look more like us than any other animal… but the differences are so huge that we would never confuse a primate with a human.  The proportions of the lengths of our arms and legs, the appearance of the neck, skull, pelvis, hands, and soft tissue structures–including our lips–clearly distinguish the two species.  Internally, our proteins are 71 percent different from that of a chimp.  We have 46 chromosome at meiosis while a chimp has …
