Video: Adrian Rogers… Evolution Fact or Fiction
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 2016 | Pastor Adrian Rogers

EVOLUTION: FACT OR FICTION? We’re told to believe that nothing, plus time, plus chance, equals everything. That is a fairy-tale for adults. Tragically, it’s being taught to our children. But the scientific evidence supporting Creation is now overwhelming..

It’s been taught for decades. If you don’t accept it you fail

Evolution: The change in gene frequency in a given population over time.

FACT: You can watch bacteria (reproduce every 20 minutes) change gene frequencies in a short period of time.

Theory Human Evolution: the belief that modern humans evolved from a simpler common ancestor. Good evidence, but can’t be reproduced or observed. So will remain theory.

Species Evolution: Humans do this all the time with Animals. Cows, dogs, horses, chickens, pigs, just about everything wherein breading is controlled we have changed gene frequencies over time. Does anybody think that say a pug dog would have survived in the wild 10k years ago? Yes, by choosing which animals breed you effect which traits are passed, and the traits are in the genome. Therefore humans change gene frequency of creatures around us all of the time.

Evolution is fact, human evolution is theory. Hope this helps people understand the difference and why the politics of it should be less emphasized.

For those who would biblically shun me, the Bible says GOD created man and the Animals, it doesn’t specify the methods.

“For those who would biblically shun me, the Bible says GOD created man and the Animals, it doesn’t specify the methods.”

The method is clear: God “spoke”. They existed immediately.

“Immediately” by your time understanding or GOD’s? .

For Bible believers only…

Evolution takes several generations to happen, correct? Which means that things have to die.

The Bible says that death entered the world through Adam’s sin. Before that, there was no death.

Draw your own conclusions, friends!..

You are referring to micro and macro-evolution. We all agree that micro-evolution (dogs bred to other kinds of dogs, cows to cows, etc.) happens. We do not agree that macro-evolution (dinosaurs evolved to birds, apes evolved to men, etc.) takes place. And Darwinian evolutionist do this all the time: they conflate and equate the known and confirmed (micro-evolution) with the totally unconfirmed and evidence-lacking macro-evolution.

And, yes, like it or not, the Bible does tell us God’s method ... he “spoke” everything into existence. He is the only true “Creator”.

First there was nothing

Then

Nothing exploded

And became everything.

absolutely amazed anyone can believe that . but they take that premise,, cloud it over with thousands of words and

BOOM

Secular humanism idiocracy is born.

Smh.

I guess most people don’t look at the fossil record. A type of brachiopod is formed with certain spines on its shell. In the layer of rock above it, it is gone and replaced by one without spines but with some other sort of articulation. Then. In the next layer of rock above, it is gone and replaced by something with totally different articulation and so forth. Either there is evolution or God chose to create a vast array of different organisms and preserve them in the rock record to confuse us.

Correlation is not causation

The phrase “correlation does not imply causation” refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two events or variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them

I dug a piece of bread that had butter on it from the bottom of my garbage can

I dug another piece of bread with no butter from the top of my garbage can

That does not prove that second found piece of bread evolved

Never bought into the “day-age” theory of Creation.

Pastor Rogers always gives good sermons. Thanks for sharing. Evolution (macro) is an interesting theory but it’s still just a theory. I remember being taught in school as if it were a fact, but it never seemed logical to me.

The believer in evolution has more faith than any believer for the reasons you cited.

Adaptation is same gene frequency in given population, with new behaviors. Once the gene frequencies change, it’s evolution.

Micro-evolution is a fact. No one disputes that.

When anyone attempts to argue with me that macro-evolution is also a fact, my argument against it is:

There would have to be a new male species that was born to some other species.

At the same time, there would have to be a female of the same species born at the same time.

Both this new male and female would have to survive to adulthood.

Animals that are deformed die very early on.

They’d have to be born in the same very small geographical area in order to find each other.

Both would be a genetic deformity of the previous generations of the same species.

There would only be an extremely small chance they would even make it to adulthood.

There is zero evidence of any transitory species. If this was not a fact, there would be thousands, if not millions, of transitory species in existence today. There are none.

Every species on the planet is “transitional” - this is because there is no ultimate or final species. Species branch out from one another, sometimes species go extinct, leaving gaps between the extant branches.
