Evolution vs. Creation: Collision of Two Worldviews
Neither creation nor macro-evolution have physical proof for their positions. Rather, each party looks at the scientific data from their own perspective and looks for evidence to support it. For instance, the people who are convinced that macroevolution has occurred … Continue reading
Why macro-evolution doesn’t make sense
One major barrier against the gradual evolution of relatively simple organisms into complex ones rests on the organism’s inability to understand its environment and adapt to it. For instance, how could a blind organism understand that color is produced by … Continue reading
Through the sciences we have gained much knowledge about how the world works, so why do we need a god?
