Objectives
- Students will have an informed understanding of what evolution actually entails.
- Students will be able to accurately critique evolution based on the Bible.
- Student will recognize that a creator is a reasonable perspective on origins but also recognize that faith is still necessary.
Introduction
- What does the term evolution mean to you?
- Evolution is a hot topic in fundamental circles and we need to have a strong apologetic for creation. However, a strong apologetic also means we must actually know what evolution teaches. No qualified biologists believe that monkeys are currently turning into humans or anything of this form. Evolution is a well-reasoned, but flawed perspective to which some very intelligent people subscribe. All too often we fight evolution with straw-man arguments. Those are arguments in which we build up a ridiculous perspective and then celebrate the ease with which we burn it down. If we are to defend creation, we must reject straw man arguments and focus on the fundamentals.
Evolution is the supposed process by which the first cell evolved into the diversity of life we see today. Natural selection and mutations are considered its driving force. However, evolution has never been observed and natural selection and mutations cannot add the information necessary to change one kind into another.[1]
