Yes, that is a very good point—”believe in evolution” structurally is not that different than “believe in God.”

It points to the dilemma all face—so much of our thoughts and actions are based on the unknowable. Nietzsche had it right when he pointed out their were two basic types of thought--things that we can verify and things that are abstractions. He also was an atheist, but when he said "God is dead" he meant God was dead in the hearts of the elites and the consequences would be a series of dictatorships and ruinous wars. He proved prescient in this respect.

Darwinism and Creationism are abstractions.

Whom would you rather have as a leader?

A man who believes in the Almighty Creator, to whom he is ETERNALLY accountable for ALL his actions?

Or a man who is his own god?

Atheists really aren’t atheists, they are their own gods, deciding for themselves what is good and what is evil.

Atheists have no External, Objective, Transcendent Truth to which they can turn for guidance. They have only their opionions.

Evolutionism as ANTI-Christ, becuase to be an evolutionist, you must believe that DEATH is a good thing, as it drives natural selection.

But the Bible says that “the wages of [penalty for] sin is DEATH”. But Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and His resurrection conquer Sin and Death!

If Death was the engine God designed to promote natural selection and thereby the improvement of all species, including mankind, then Christ’s sacrifice is meaningless.
