Evolution is a blind-faith belief.
Now evolutionists don’t like when I say that; they claim that creationists like me have a blind faith while they have science and facts. But this misunderstands the nature of evolution. You see, the idea of evolution doesn’t come from fossils, biology, or DNA. Rather, it comes from an interpretation of the fossils, biological systems, and DNA from a worldview founded in the belief of naturalism (atheism).
Scientists start with their worldview—evolutionary naturalism—and they interpret the evidence in light of their worldview. It’s a belief system (really a religion) that relies on faith. But it’s a blind faith.
Evolutionists must believe all of these things by blind faith:
- Life came from nonlife . . . even though this contradicts the law of biogenesis.
- One kind of creature changed into another kind . . . even though that’s never been observed.
- Natural selection can create new genetic information . . . even though that’s never been observed. Natural selection works on already-existing genetic diversity.
- Various, extremely complex systems evolved multiple times each (e.g., powered flight supposedly evolved at least four separate times).
- Millions of years ago, life exploded on the scene in great diversity with few “ancestors” in the rock layers below (this is called the Cambrian explosion).
- Humans and great apes share a common ancestor . . . even though the number of differences between us and them keeps increasing with each new study!
- Soft tissue managed to last millions of years in the fossil record.
Instead of starting with the words of scientists who weren’t there, don’t know everything, and frequently make mistakes, let’s start with the Word of the One who knows everything, who has always been there, and who never makes a mistake. He’s given us the true history of the universe in His Word (and science confirms the Bible!).
Everyone has faith: The question is who is your faith in? Is it a blind faith that lacks credulity or a faith in the Bible, which is confirmed by what we observe?
