Monkey minds

How evolution undercuts reason and science

If our minds were not designed, why would we trust them?

Atheists routinely style themselves as champions of reason and science, and they view evolutionary theory as a triumph of both. Indeed, they believe that evolution helps them to explain features of the world that would otherwise be inexplicable. As Richard Dawkins put it, “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.”1 Ironically, however, evolution cannot possibly bear this burden, because if evolution were true it would undermine our confidence in human rationality. While Christianity has the resources to account for reason, the atheistic paradigm self-destructs. The contrast can be seen by comparing what each worldview says about the origin and composition of human beings.

Are you a hardcore evolutionist, a creationist (old or new earth) or something in between?

I'm old Earth creationist.

My opponent was arguing for evolution.

So do I.
