Is Evolution Incompatible with Christian Faith?

by Dave Oldridge

 

The real failure of creationism is a failure of faith.  It sees events in

the natural world (by very definition, what God creates is "natural")

and panics, coming to the conclusion that God just COULDN'T do

THAT!  Well God could and obviously DID do something of the

kind.  If you are having trouble squaring that with your exegesis,

then the place to look is the exegesis itself and the assumptions

that underpin it.  Because God is Who He is, not who you want

Him to be.  And He cannot be locked in a box, in a book or in any

THING.  He is that I AM which IS.  The eternal begetter of all that is.

And His sovereignty is as universal as His being.  It is nowhere

absent and nowhere subject to challenge by created things or

events, for what has power to challenge or defeat the very source of

all power?  Is mutation and natural selection the way biological

organisms diversify?  The evidence seems to conclude that it is. 

Does this mean God has no part in it?  Where do you see that?

And once you get past this "Genesis is literal history" nonsense,

the book starts to reveal its real power and meaning...but I will let

you discover that for yourself if you have the will.
