Do you believe Darwin or the Bible?

February 7, 2009

Was It Creation or Evolution?

I have been watching or reading many  debates/arguments about evolution vs creation.

Arguing for Evolution, Darwinians.  Charles Darwin’s work is now fodder for geneticists and biotechnologists and forensic science and atheists and humanists and naturalists.  The relevance to basic science and practical pursuits is the reason for this year’s worldwide celebration of the bicentennial of Darwin’s birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of his masterwork, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life”.  Also arguing for Evolution are many well known atheists such as Richard Dawkins.

Arguing for Creation, “The Institute for Creation Research”  ICR.org for one, and believers of the Bible

As a Lutheran and as a Christian I will quote Martin Luther from about 500 years ago….

“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking.  I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ.  Where the battle raqes, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefields besides, is mere fight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”

I may not believe in evolution, but I do believe in extinction.
