What is evolution?

Evolution is the science of the philosophy of naturalism. Evolution is believed by faith, just as Christianity is. Therefore, one cannot say evolution is science and Biblical creation is not. One must objectively compare the scientific evidence and see if it supports the evolutionary theory or the account of Biblical creation. In every account, we find that science supports Biblical creation and does not support the evolution theory.

Evolution has 6 meanings

  1. Cosmic evolution -- big bang, origin of time, space, matter
  2. Chemical evolution -- the origin of higher elements from hydrogen
  3. Stellar and planetary evolution -- origin of stars and planets
  4. Organic evolution -- origin of life
  5. Macro-evolution -- origin of major kinds of species
  6. Micro-evolution -- variation within kinds

The first five types of evolution have no scientific evidence to support them. Therefore, they are purely religious. The sixth type of evolution, micro-evolution, has scientific basis, and is perfectly consistent with the Bible.

In order to believe in evolution, one must make seven basic assumptions:

The seven assumptions of evolution

  1. Non-living things gave rise to living material
  2. Spontaneous generation could occur only once
  3. Viruses, bacteria, plants, and animals are all interrelated
  4. Protozoa gave rise to multi-cellular organisms
  5. Invertebrates are interrelated
  6. Invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates
  7. All vertebrates are related

From The Implications of Evolution by G.A. Kerkut (British physiologist):

"Note: these are assumptions -- not conclusions demanded by the data. The essence of evolution is assumed, then the data are interpreted to fit."
Dr. Richard Bliss

"Scientific evidence demands Creation"

Evolution is a religion

"Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion -- a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality.... Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today."
Michael Ruse, eminent scientific philosopher and Darwinian atheist
