Two Irreconcilable Worldviews

Albert Mohler: Two Irreconcilable Worldviews

Excerpt:

.... the dominant theory of evolution -- the theory as taught and defended by the world's leading evolutionary scientists -- explicitly rules out any supernatural design or interference at any point in the evolutionary continuum. That fact alone makes the theory incompatible with any legitimate affirmation of divine creation or of biblical theism.

Comment: Paul, at the Areopagus (Acts 17:22-34), began his defense of Christianity by presenting God as Creator (vss 24-26): "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth ..."

Evolutionary thought did not originate with Darwin: History of evolutionary thought:

"Evolutionary ideas such as common descent and the transmutation of species have existed since at least the 6th century BC, when they were expounded by the Greek philosopher Anaximander. Others who considered such ideas included the Greek philosopher Empedocles, the Roman philosopher-poet Lucretius"
