Origins 101

In recent weeks I have been going through a Wednesday night study dealing with the Creation vs Evolution debate. I have thoroughly enjoyed this study (hopefully all of our students have as well). It has so reminded me of how critical an issue this is. I have not studied up on the topic in a few years and I guess I have sort of suppressed in mind the implications of this issue. In talking with different students I have been reminded of how saturated our culture has become with evolutionary thinking. We take for granted that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago because that is the only information we read about in textbooks or hear on television shows. Most people have never heard any alternative to the long "geologic ages" (Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic) that have been proposed as fact from science. Almost everyone thinks of Neanderthals as a pre-human type of cave-man. That is what museums and textbooks the world over have more than insinuated. Even the humanities are full of evolutionary humanism. It is everywhere. Many of these issues and concepts we do not even question anymore. We assume that if science says it...then it must be true. This becomes a major problem when what science says is drastically different from what the Word of God says. And the Word of God does not support any of what "science " says about the topics I mentioned previously. So who do we believe? That is the ultimate question in this debate. Who is our authority....Science or God. I hope this study will help some to answer that question and many others they may have.
