why creationism is wrong and evolution is right

Posted by: woodchurchscience in biology, discussion, ks3, ks4, warren

watch this video from the royal society, of a lecture given by prof. steve jones, in which he attempts to explain why the belief in a creator is ‘wrong’ and that the only valid explanation for the richness and complexity of life can be evolution.

   His use of evidence is filled with presupposition. Creationists also have presuppositions, but we admit to them. A belief in an almighty creator God and complete confidence in the reliability and trustworthiness of the bible are my presuppositions. At the end of his lecture he showed us that you can’t live by evolutionary principles or there is no point to medicine. He mentioned the conscience, which is part of our absolute contrast to the animals rather than our similarity to them. We care about those who are in need and the Christian view is that it is part of our special relationship to God - being made in His image as responsible and accountable descendents of Adam and Eve.
