Question for Christians who are science students or working professionals in a science field?

Question

Christians Only:

I want to ask you if you are familiar with the evolution theory and what are your thoughts about it. What are the things you find erroneous and discard, and what are the things you considerate.

I have talked with devoted Christians who are scientists and they have told me the things they considerate and accept as true and they also pointed out the flaws that the evolution of theory has.

I would appreciate your answers.

Answer 1

If you are really interested and have the time, here are a couple of links where scientists who are Christians give a scathing critique of the presuppositions that evolutionists bring to their dating methods along with examples that show that these methods are severely flawed.

More Cracks in Evolution: Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth - The evolutionary model is fast breaking down, thanks to creationists who are worldview-savvy, self-conscious of their own beliefs, and willing to hold evolutionists consistent to their own system of thinking and scientific inquiry.

Tune in to this program on Generations as Dr. Larry Vardiman of the Institute for Creation Research explains the recent RATE testing project which exposes enormous problems with modern radiometric dating. The findings are literally devastating to anybody who has treated the old-earth, evolutionary model as a tacit fact, beyond critique.

Mount St. Helens and Creation Proofs - A geologist explains the changes from Mount St. Helens explosion. He discusses how this catastrophic event mimics Noah's flood and shows proof of creation science, while debunking the myths of evolution. i.e; layers show millions years. However, Mt. St. Helens explosion created multiple feet of earth layers in hours.

Answer 2

Scientific theories are much more than what most people think when they hear the word "theory". When science has a theory, I like to think of it as being proven by all means except having the signed blueprints from God. Just like many Atheistic evolutionists make wild (and ignorant )accusations or ask unreasonable (and especially ignorant/offensive) questions about Christians and God, so do many creationists make unreasonable demands from science. The fossil record is PRECIOUS, the creation of a fossil is a very rare occurrence that requires a set of specific circumstances, and we have not been fortunate enough to exhume EVERY example of living things throughout the billions of years things have been living on earth. We are lucky to have what we have, and it still tells us a lot about ancient life, and new missing links are being unearthed every day, further piecing together the mysteries of life on ancient earth. It appears that the more we look for evolutionary stepping stones, we find them.

I don't think believing in evolution can't co-exist with believing in God. It must. With the ever mounting proof of evolution, the more venemous the church is about repressing it, the more damaging the cultural backlash will be against the church when there is no want of proof for it. Remember, it has been hundreds of years since the church blackballed Gallileo for discovering the world is round. Christians, lets not make this mistake a second time. Let evolution be a tool for bettering our understanding of God and God's world.

Answer 3

Read Lee Strobels book "The Case For A Creator". It provides a good base understanding of many of the failed evolutionary claims that were foundational for the past 50 years.
Including the Stanley Miller experiment that purported to establish an early atmospheric test to show that amino acids were produced from lightening, it turns out all it produced was formaldehyde. The Tree of Life that completely breaks down over macroevolution and overemphasizes microevolution. Ernst Haeckel's Drawings of Embryos comparitive to other species unfortunately scientists have discovered huge differences as the science has progressed. Finally, the archaeopteryx that was supposedly the "missing link" but had the uncanny trace of tampering when people realized that the feathers were far to neatly arranged for a 150 million year old fossil. Not to mention the absolute complexity of DNA, the impossible combination of a yellow sun and a planet just the exact distance and orbit to provide for life or the fact that everything about the basic structure of the universe is balanced on a razor's edge for life to exist.
There are MOUNTAINS of data that were not even mentioned that support furthur evidence of creation and dispelling the outlandish claims of evolution, you just have to look.

Answer 4

Gods time is vastly longer than our time.

A day in Gods world could be 5 million years in ours.

Therefore evolution was God creating on his 3rd, 4th, 5th day....

As for carbon dating and saying everything is 335 billion years old.

That's nonsense. Carbon dating may never be disproved, but that's because the only thing proving it is man.

And as for the big bang. "In the beginning..."

Dinosaurs disappeared during the flood. The only ones that survived where the creatures that lived in the water (aka plesiosaurs, or Loch Ness Monster, hmmmmm...)

But most of the modern science realm (and not old scientists who are just old people who's minds will not be changed) is turning towards the theory of Creationism.

If your into science you should see the movie "What the Bleep do we know" its at blockbuster.

Its about the modern scientific movement (quantum physicists and others who study energy) towards God.

Also, on the history channel right now, there's something called "the Exodus decoded."

You should watch it. It explains how God used the earth to form the plagues. It archeologically shows the entire exodus. It was real.

It is all real.

But the earth, and everything wasn't created out of volcanic fissures/smoke stacks in the ocean.

Ask God to help show you, to open your mind and explain away the errors. He will give you everything, and then some really cool extras.

Answer 5

there is an severe distinction. A debate interior the technology international is sensible. It are those objections and determination perspectives that deliver approximately modification and help us locate the actual answer to organic rules. A debate interior the area of religion is rarely an identical. it could have very grotesque consequences. interior the tip however, scientists will normally finally end up agreeing on a topic after adequate evidence has handed to coach one ingredient suited - many circumstances the two perspectives are partly suited. besides the shown fact that, in faith there is not any way of truthfully looking out the reality, so that's lots greater stable to convince everyone on your point of view.

Answer 6

The Genesis account of creation describes how EVERYTHING in the universe came into be, out of nothing, at God's command. All of this is covered in the space of about two pages, which is what I call hitting the high spots in the extreme. Genesis makes no claim to being a scientific textbook. The main thing Genesis 1-2 aims to teach is that God created this place, therefore it belongs to Him, as do we. He is the ultimate head of the household, meaning His word is supreme law.

Answer 7

Evolution is now established science: workers in many fields use the theory to make useful (i.e., accurate) predictions. Like any other scientific theory, evolution cannot be "proved" to be correct, but it works so well at both explaining and predicting things that no scientist worthy of the name has any doubt that it is correct.

Answer 8

I start with these facts:
God is truth, and
Science pursues the truth, meaning tries to understand God's creation.

The fossil record and carbon dating is the truth, Gd would not deceive us.

The unanswered question is how did we get here? Was it naturally, or were we created. Thus, can we get here naturally? How can immense amounts of complex genetic code be naturally created? It can not.

Answer 9

evolution is not supported by fossils and skeletons; there is no gradual change between different types of certain creatures, it seems to skip a transitory stage most of the time.

Answer 10

How do you define "Christian"?
