I hope there wasn’t something in that post I was supposed to disagree with.

Actually, it was intended for retMD, who also doesn't seem to think that ideas have consequences.

Evolutionism is an ideology. It is a worldview through which facts are filtered in order to exclude a Creator.

It renders the sacrifice of Christ as meaningless, since that sacrifice was made to conquer Sin and Death.

If Death, the engine of natural selection, is God's means for humankind to emerge from less sentient species, then Christ is unnecessary.

If Man was not CREATED in the Image and Likeness of God, then there is no basis for any moral code other than convenience and opinion.

Evolutionism makes morality subject to the vicissitudes of popular culture.

Evolutionism denies absolute Truth outside of Evolutionism.

Evolutionsm is at the head of a logical trail that goes like this.

• Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason.

• Life is just a curious side effect of an unknowing and uncaring Cosmos.

• When you die, you are just so much compost.

• Ergo, the best you can hope for is a life of self-gratification and a painless extinction.

I used to believe that.

But as the beneficiary of Biblical scale miracles in my own life, and the witness of God in all that I experienced since giving my life to Jesus, I can not subscribe to any of these premises any more.

In fact, I see them as patently absurd.
