Definition of evolution (1)
Nobody x Nothing = Everything. While I will admit that in the last analysis the creation account of the Bible has to be accepted on faith, I contend that it takes far more faith to believe in this definition of evolution than in the Bible account of creation. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” (Genesis 1:1) is far more appealing than Nobody x Nothing = Everything.
Ron Carlson Quote (2)
The late Christian apologist, Ron Carlson, once said: “In grammar school they taught me that a frog turning into a prince was a fairy tale. In the university they taught me that a frog turning into a prince was a fact!”1
Darwinism is secular religion masquerading as science (3)
Darwinism is not science and clearly is not subject to the scientific method which is based on observable and repeatable experimentation. It should be classified instead as a religion. Sadly, this religion unlike Christianity, which leads to hope and meaning, only leads to insignificance and despair.
Scripture, not science, is the ultimate test of all truth (4)
Scripture is timeless and changeless. Science, however, is constantly changing and often is wrong. If you were to take a college textbook on biology, chemistry, or physics from 200 years ago and place it in a modern-day university class, it would be laughed at since so many of its scientific statements are no longer valid. That’s because our knowledge of science is constantly evolving as we learn more. Old theories, are often discarded or revised. But the Bible has withstood the test of time and proven to be a timeless and accurate book; even in the area of science.
Evolutionists by and large are atheists (5)
Except for theistic evolutionists, almost all evolutionists are atheists – or so they think they are. But in the last analysis you really can’t be an atheist. Just listen to what Ron Carlson has to say on this point: “It is philosophically impossible to be an atheist, since to be an atheist you must have infinite knowledge in order to know absolutely that there is no God. But to have infinite knowledge, you would have to be God yourself. It’s hard to be God yourself and an atheist at the same time!”2
Which came first DNA or proteins? (6)
In order to have life we need the basic building blocks of a cell – protein molecules. And here is where the rub comes in for our evolutionist friends. For we know that DNA relies on proteins for its production but proteins rely on DNA for their production. So, the question arises which came first, proteins or DNA? Clearly one must already be in existence for the other to be made. This impossible dilemma can’t be solved through man-made logic but only by an all-powerful God who created both DNA and proteins together. I ask you to ponder your choices.
Darwin Quote (7)
“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”3
Evolution’s ultimate goal (8)
I believe that evolution’s ultimate goal is to eliminate God altogether and to do away with moral accountability. Man enjoys his sin so much that if evolution is true then he can do away with God and do whatever he wants to do without any moral accountability to God. The only catch is as we have sated before it takes far more faith to believe in evolution than God.
Matter, time, and chance constitute the evolutionist holy trinity (9)
There are three problems with this trinity. The first big problem for evolutionists is explaining the origin of the first life. Evolutionists can’t explain where the original matter came from or how can information come from non-living chemicals? The second big problem is that the 4 billion years that evolutionists say were needed to go from amoeba to man is far too short. Man’s complexity is so awesome it would take countless trillions of years for man to evolve from a single cell creature to who we are today; if this were at all possible. And third, the blind random chance that evolutionists posit, is no generator of life at all. Chance is not a valid explanation – at best it would produce disorderliness, not order and complexity.
Evolution can’t be observed or replicated in a lab (10)
Science is not a trustworthy place to seek answers on origins. Neither the biblical account of creation or the atheist belief in evolution can be replicated in a lab. So, what can we conclude from this brief devotion? Only it takes far more faith to believe in evolution than it does in biblical creation.

3 The Human Eye: What Did Darwin Say About Complex Organs? (carm.org)
This is so well written and clear! Thank you for this post, I look forward to sharing it.
All excellent points. If I were to add/insert one… it would be “where can evolution be seen today? Why are there no examples of half-developed arms, legs, eyes, etc? Why would macro evolution have stopped if it’s catalyst is random chance?”
