Evolution- Darwin, God and the Bible

Updated: Sep 12, 2023

Hi All So for a while now I have been asking hard questions about Christianity, creation and evolution. I guess I have always had the desire to figure out where exactly the whole evolution theory comes into play when it comes to a Creator. So here are a few thoughts on Evolution/Darwin and God and how it relates to the Bible. I have never been able to just accept anything as truth just because someone says so. Whether that person is a renowned scientist or a pastor. This is because people can become blind easily to a different point of view and accept there view as truth. I consider that to be arrogant and not helpful to my search for information. So I guess my perfect situation would be to find a humble scientist who is undecided and let the facts speak as they are, and find a pastor/theologian who is open to perhaps God took a while to create the universe, and not in six days just because the bible says 6 days and that's that. Someone who has studied the history of the bible, learnt the original language, understood the culture, has given himself/herself wisdom, and a scientist who studied the universe, biology, etc, and can be open and admit that micro evolution doesn't itself prove macro evolution. That adaptation of a animal doesn't necessarily equate to proving a change of kind is possible as well. Just the other day I read a story about a certain dinosaur that it had to "Rapidly" develop their long necks, in just 5 million years according to the study: Click This Link to see the report

Now ignoring that 5 million years is still a long time, if evolution is supposed to be a slow gradual unguided process, how did it in this instance all of a sudden speed up. what made it go faster compared to other animals that needed adaptation? if there is nothing controlling it, then how was it told to go faster or these animals are going to die out because they cant catch the fish anymore to eat. and the fact this cant be observed or tested, and must just be believed, is what makes me question it. I don't have enough knowledge currently to decide where I stand on the age of the earth and evolution etc., But I also cant just believe what is written about those topics as truth either as it can change at any moment. Like the above article where a few weeks ago there was a accepted idea on the development on this species, which is now incorrect and the timeline had to be adjusted again. maybe in a few months something new will be discovered that changes the timeline again from 5 million to one million. So I will not accept evolution and its timeline as a proven standard until a single agreed upon timeline that will not change continuously is discovered and is set as fact, not adjustable fact based on ongoing discoveries. I still don't comprehend how a scientist can accept the idea that nothing can create something. in every experiment and instance today, there is no recorded event of nothing creating something. A child does not come from nothing, it is two biological objects coming together and forming into a new human being. No one has ever woken up and found a fully formed creation sitting in their lounge, not even half formed creation. In the video below, we have a few scientists( just a general term in this case to describe the group, but they are mathematicians, biochemist and a geophysicist), discussing the problems with Darwin. There is always a counter argument to everything. Looking at things like the fossil record, quotes like this always come up: "The fossil record certainly has gaps, mostly because the conditions required to create fossils have been rare ever since life began on Earth. A very small percentage of animals that have lived and died ever became fossils. Thus, many pieces of the puzzle are missing; some will never be found." Website Quote

So this does bring into question what exactly is the truth here, who on which side of the argument is guessing and presuming certain things and filling the gap with their own ideas to make the whole argument work. Someone somewhere must be going I want to believe my version of events, so I am just going to accept what I can confirm as proof of that which I cannot. And it probably happens on both sides of this argument. In the documentary Evolution vs God, Associate Professor Gail E. Kennedy was asked the question asking for scientific and observable evidence of evolution she said, "Evolution is not testable over time." She went on later to say that the problem with people who don't believe in evolution is that they just don't have enough imagination. Since when did science rely on imagination to prove that it is true. Then we might as well not call it science, which in reality requires evidence and not just ordinary evidence, but observable and testable.
