Evolution or Creation: Does It Really Matter?
What difference does it make whether we believe in creation or evolution?
It seems odd that, only a few generations ago, laws prevented the teaching of evolution
in some states in the United States. Now the opposite is true: The Bible is banned
from classrooms. Serious discussion of the biblical view of the creation of the universe--and
our human origins--is forbidden in public schools.
Why the hostility toward the Bible? Certainly not all scientists agree that there
is no Creator and that we are all the product of random chance.
NASA director Wernher von Braun, the "father of the American Space Program," observed:
"(Evolutionists) challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really
light a candle to see the sun? . . . What strange rationale makes some
physicists accept the inconceivable electron as real while refusing to accept the
reality of a Designer on the ground that they cannot conceive of Him?"
Is evolution true? Curiously enough, our human existence is one of the best arguments against it. According to evolutionary theory, the traits that offer the greatest advantage for survival are passed from generation to generation. Yet human reproduction itself argues powerfully against this fundamental premise of evolution.
If evolution is the guiding force in human development, how is it that higher forms of life evolved with the two sexes? If humans are the pinnacle of the evolutionary process, how is it that our species requires the involvement of a member of each sex to reproduce, when lower forms of life--such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa--are sexless and far more prolific? If they can reproduce by far simpler methods, why can';t we? If evolution is true, what went wrong?
