Let’s continue with our thoughts about Creation and what the belief in or lack of belief in biblical creation means.

Questions:

What Does Biblical Creation Have To Do With Theology?

1. If biblical creation isn’t true then how do we believe anything else in scripture?
2. If God didn’t create you, then what is your purpose for living? If you were just another accident of evolution, then what meaning does your life have? We worship the creation instead of the Creator!
3. If the theory of evolution is true, then how did it start? Where did the components to make it begin come from? If they just “existed” in space, then they had to have an origin.
4. If the theory of evolution is true, then where are the in-between species (animals changing from one species to another, species in between primates and human, etc)

Where do you stand on these quesitons?  If you clearly believe one way or the other, why do you hold that belief?  Are you so sure about your belief that you are willing to stand and fight for it, knowing you have the evidence to support it.  I firmly stand on the side of biblical creation and I believe the evidence supports my belief.

Read these quotes by some folks on the front lines of this battle:

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” ― Isaac Newton

By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. – Michael Behe

Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth – the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly collecting examples of all too convenient “coincidences” and special features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them and the consequences would be lethal. – Fred Hoyle

The controversy between Darwinism and intelligent design has the characteristics of major scientific revolutions in the past. Darwinists are losing power because they treat with contempt the very people on whom they depend the most: American taxpayers. The outcome of this scientific revolution will be decided by young people who have the courage to question dogmatism and follow the evidence wherever it leads. ― Jonathan Wells

Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on the earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 gms, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world. ― Michael Denton

I look forward to your thoughts about creation and the questions is brings to the total discussion of theology.
