Creationism and the Theory of Evolution
Understanding the theory of evolution is one of the great scientific achievements of man. There is no real moral reason that evolution cannot be used by God to create the physical body of man. What matters if God uses this or that method to create the body of man, so it is created? The only moral issue is that Satan uses the theories of man to convince many that there is no God.
All arguments against the theory of evolution being responsible for our creation are practical. Evolution is simply the most inefficient way possible to create a new species. Nothing but extinction could be certain. For those who do not accept the complexity of species, the extraordinary improbability of the earth being created by accident, the even greater challenge of life on earth being created by accident, the miraculous ecology of life on earth, the miraculous survival and complex life of even the most insignificant species, the inexplicable variety and beauty of flora and fauna, the inexplicable accident of our solar system coming together with everything the proper size, shape, distance, etc.—where does accident end and intelligent design begin?—Though I unequivocally accept evolution as a science, I present five arguments against the theories of evolution promoted by atheists which, for me, make it unacceptable as a theory of creation:
1. Something cannot come from nothing.
2. All things are created by law.
3. All things are preserved, protected, and governed by law.
4. No laws rely upon chance, accident, or coincidence.
5. All life is spiritual. Spiritual matter is irreducible and cannot be subject to entropy; yet, evolution depends upon entropy. The physical body is but the dwelling place of the spirit. The physical body is not life. The physical body decays at death, yet the immortal spirit lives on uninfluenced by entropy. Though temporal law governs our physical body. Spiritual law, not temporal law, governs the source of life.
One difference between intelligent design and the theory of evolution is that intelligent design would create the seed first. The theory of evolution would create the tree first. If the tree were created first, how many trillion species went extinct before one came along that produced seeds? Because evolution relies upon chance, no two trees, insects, animals, birds, plants, etc. would be alike until after the seed is created. That means that before the seed everything, flora or fauna, had to be created by accident over and over and over, an infinite number of times, until some happy accident ‘got it right.’ The contradiction lies within the scientific explanation. Science claims that evolution is a “one-way-street to improvement”; however, at the same time they claim that we live in an “accidental universe.” The two theories are incompatible. Chance cannot be a one-way-street to improvement unless governed by law, and if chance is governed by law, it is not chance.
But science uses the same theory for the creation of every species, not just one, making all life improbable. It is too incomprehensible. Science tries to explain the improbability by proposing that all life came from the same single prokaryotic cell, even though science cannot possibly explain how the prokaryotic cell evolved into the eukaryotic cell which is necessary to life. The entire idea of the atheistic interpretation of the science of evolution defies all probability.
