Which do you believe, the Theory of Evolution or the Theory of Intelligent Design? Most people, particularly of the non-Christian variety, would have us believe that believing Intelligent Design is mixing faith with science and that only Evolution is purely science. Yet, the question remains a matter of which one you believe.
Can anyone absolutely prove today that either the Theory of Evolution or the Theory of Intelligent Design is the absolute truth? With man’s limitations the answer is sadly, no. No person on this planet can recreate our origins by either means. So what do we do? We must look at the evidence and see which theory the evidence fits. In studying the debate we will see some of the evidence seems to point toward Evolution, some of the evidence points toward Intelligent Design and some of the evidence can be reasonably argued to fit either.
As for myself, I absolutely believe Intelligent Design as stated in the Bible. I believe that true science (the pursuit and discovery of truth) will ultimately prove the word of God to be true. This, however, should not deter me from seeking the truth regardless of where any evidence leads me. I believe in the truth of the word of God, and we have seen that over time the Bible has been proven true.
Many people, even non-Christians, can accept the historical accuracy of the Bible, but when it comes to a belief of theirs the Bible challenges or says is false, they strive to discredit the accuracy of the Bible because of their disagreement with it.
We also see an attempt to compromise the biblical account of creation with evolution. I am sorry folks, but either we believe the word of God or we do not. Evolutionary theorists see this as a vain attempt to choose to believe in God while attempting to avoid ridicule for that faith. While some of the creation story appears “questionable” to the people who have compromised the two theories, belief in God, his ability to tell the truth, and his ability to do what he says he did requires that we make choices.
This category of writing “Debate: Evolution vs. Creation” will explore the evidence and see how that evidence fits with both theories. I know it would be much simpler if Almighty God would just appear and prove it. About 2,000 years ago, an historical Jesus did walk this earth, and even the Jewish leaders of the day did not deny his resurrection but tried to hide it. The people of that day could have easily shut up Jesus’ disciples by going to the grave and showing them the body. It should also be noted that the Roman soldiers guarding Jesus’ tomb did not deny his resurrection, but that the religious leaders bribed them with instructions to lie.
After literally hundreds of people saw Jesus alive after he was crucified and put into the tomb with a Roman guard, it would have been difficult to maintain that lie. It is rather amazing that we are still being asked to forget the veracity of the word of God today.
