Evolution and Creation Science

 

     No topic stirs up a fight quicker than evolution.  Young earth creation science advocates (and some old earth creationists) have targeted evolution as an enemy to be crushed.  Despite all the arguments against evolution, it marches on.  In fact, if you do a quick web search, the arguments put forth by young earth theorists are countered by the evolutionists (see TalkOrigins.org or No Answers In Genesis, for example). 

     There is no reason why evolution should not be a viable basis of belief.  One can believe in evolution and be a born-again Christian.  These believers are known as "Theistic Evolutionists." 

     Although theistic evolutionists vary in their positions, from conservative to liberal, there is no reason why a theistic evolutionist cannot be very conservative, believing in an inerrant Bible.  At Old Earth Ministries, we always take the conservative position that the Word is inerrant and infallible.  It is possible to be a fundamentalist and an evolutionist at the same time.

Perspectives on Theistic Evolution

 

 

 Did you know that you can be a Christian, and believe that the earth is billions of years old?  You can even believe in evolution and be a Christian.  There is no conflict between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper understanding how to merge science and the Bible.  To learn more about old earth creationism, see Old Earth Belief, or check out the article Can You Be A Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?  

 Feel free to check out more of this website.  Our goal is to provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism, and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
