Evolution and Christianity Impossible to Reconcile, Says Evangelical Theologian

I find it interesting that many non-religious, secular scientists do not accept the "theories" that abound concerning evolution. Many lean in the direction of Intelligent Design. They're easy to find on a internet search.

I also find it interesting that Darwin himself conceded that his "theory" had kinks. Further, in his own writings/confession, it is known that he developed the "theory" because he simply could not abide the God of scripture. Not exactly a scientfic launching pad ...

I find it even more interesting that those that want to label the proponents of Creationism as knuckle-draggers would buy "theory" as fact and, in essence, want me to believe that NOTHING produced everything. Thus, if I watch long enough, all the stuff in my refrigerator will conspire with my pantry and whip up a meal. No creator needed.

Intelligence and common sense don't even begin to meet up with evolutionary
"theory".

Good question, Johnzon.

I wish I had a neatly packaged answer for you. I don't. God only knows our early history is wrought with all manner of wrongs & violence. I weep every time I read the book, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee."

I cannot defend the indefensible, regardless of the perpetrators. What I can say is that many noble men & women did not give their hand to these vile acts - people like the early Quaker settlers, the Daniel Websters, most of the signatories of the Constitution, as well as craftors of our judicial system. Let's not forget that it was a Christ follower - Abraham Lincoln - that waged a fierce battle to end the horrible slave practices you reference.

A reading of William Federer's book, "America's God and Country", demonstrates the direct quotes, documents, letters, etc. that underscore Christianity's powerful impact on making America a better union.

If anyone's guilty of revisionist history-making, it's the secular humanist crowd - - and often from experts that are little more than commentators.

In the end, their position is not new or particulary compelling, much less convincing. There is but one worldview that changes lives (from the inside out), and that's the worldview that confesses Jesus as Lord (versus mortals). Flawed and fitfull though it is at times, it is still God's Plan A to "go into all the nations with the good news."

I have no problem with people that choose atheism. It's their God given right to so choose. But I do have a problem with them attempting to destruct America's history, roots and godly heritage. They hard-charge as if loud rants against the biblical worldview will render that worldview null and void.

When I consider that the world is watching we believers, it disturbs me greatly to have such an aberrant doctrine proclaimed (among so many others as has been pointed out above). I'm all for prosperity provided it is the Lord's blessing (whether of the material or the spiritual type), and not some expected outcome of "works". Let God bless as He wills. For me, that has at times included pain and suffering - a blessing of a different sort that has always sent me to His everlasting arms. I wonder if the Lord's admonition had anything to do with today's teachings ...

Matthew 6:19-24 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
