I agree that evolutionists and creationists have different world views. I agree with the creationist world view: man was created special by God.

But I do not believe that evolutionists will continue to retreat from the hard sciences. Until a new idea or paradigm emerges, what is there to test? How do you know what to look for?

To think that God will stand naked before believer and unbeliever alike is foolishness. God’s works remain hidden, a mystery. What need is there for faith when belief is backed up by science?

To claim victory when science stumbles is to be ignorant. Science will emerge with another idea, another hypothesis. Of course the next idea will be wrong also. Just as it will be wrong when creationists again claim victory.

Of course God did it, but what disguise did he use? Why does gravity work? Because God makes it so. How does that help us understand gravity? God created a rational world. It is a world we can understand.

If we could use the earth below to scientifically determine the age of the world, then we could study the sky above to determine the age of the universe. But since we can see light that is millions of years old, why would we believe we could study anything in the universe and find the fingerprints of God?

I think you may have the wrong idea of the Creas and Evos; do you think that most Creas believe that since God made it that settles it? And do you think that most Evos believe that Evolution is ongoing?

What is rational? Maybe the measurable evidence of gravity is just a byproduct of God’s will holding the earth together. In fact God’s Word does tell us He holds the universe together. God doesn’t need inventions like time, space, and gravity to make this world work. And he doesn’t need evolution to fine tune this world. And since His Word tells us death is caused by sin and Adam brought sin into the world, we know death is not a process by which life is perfected.

If you read the Bible through the evo paradigm, it makes no sense and all because hogwash.
