this subject? After all, we’re dealing with science, not
theology, right?

If a theologically trained man can
propose the theory without the proper background, why can’t I offer some
criticisms?

COMMONMISCONCEPTION
S:
COMMONMISCONCEPTION
S:1) Scientists are objective.
2) Scientists are unbiased.
3.) Science is infallible.
The common attitude today is…
“If scientists say it, it must be true.”
EVOLUTION
“Amazing! A big bang made this world from nothing!”
Humanist Worldview
Man is god and answers to no one.
CREATION
“Incredible design!
There must be a smart Designer!”
Creationist Worldview
God is God and judges all men.
EVOLUTION
“the common descent of all
life on earth from a single ancestor via undirected mutation and
natural selection.”
CREATION
Biblical creationism believes that in six, literal, 24-hour, consecutive days, God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. (Gen.1:1; Ex. 20:11)
FOUR ULTIMATE QUESTIONS
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
WHAT IS SCIENCE?WHAT IS SCIENCE?Francis Bacon, the father of modern science, said that “true science is a search for causes.”
Science is the study of cause and effect by means of the scientific method. The scientific method is the way of setting up experimentation whereby one may predict, observe, test, and repeat certain phenomenon that occurs in nature.
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
THE PROBLEM OF ORIGINSTHE PROBLEM OF ORIGINS
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
The question of origins cannot be tested by means of the scientific method because it was unobserved and unrepeatable.
Therefore, we must seek for an explanation of a cause by only observing the present effects all around us today. The examination of evidence is called forensic science.
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
The term “evolution” can refer to 6 different meanings only 1 of which is truly “scientific.”
1. Cosmic Evolution
2. Chemical Evolution
3. Stellar and Planetary evolution.
4. Organic Evolution
5. Macro-Evolution
6. Micro-Evolution
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
THAT’S NOT EVOLUTION, only a variation! It is still a dog. They had a common ancestor who was also a dog.

others?
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?And God said, Let the earth bring
forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GENESIS 1:24-25
EVOLUTION :: SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
You may believe these if you wish, but they are not supported by scientific evidence.
1. Cosmic Evolution
2. Chemical Evolution
3. Stellar and Planetary evolution.
4. Organic Evolution
5. Macro-Evolution
6. Micro-Evolution
IS EVOLUTION AN ESTABLISHED FACT?The entire hypothesis rests upon presumptions and speculations! There is not any shred of evidence to support the idea that the universe is billions of years old, or that the precision and complexity of the Universe can be accounted for by natural processes alone.
IS EVOLUTION AN ESTABLISHED FACT?
EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE”
• Fossil Record
• Comparative Anatomy
• Genetics
• Biogeography
• Examples of “recent” evolution

In the next couple of sessions, I want to show you how flimsy the case for Evolution really is.
The “evidence” is being horribly distorted and taught to our children as fact. Our entire culture has uncritically and blindly accepted this LIE and it has resulted in a huge shift away from God.
All of today’s moral evils and wicked philosophies stem from the root of evolution.
“Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
(Matthew 7:17-20)
MONKEY
They’re trying to make a
out of you!
How old is the earth?
What about the dinosaurs?
Was there really a global flood?
What about the Big Bang?
Did we evolve from monkeys?
What about the fossils?
This world did not make itself.
God made it and He makes the rules.
If you break the rules, there will be justice served to you.
Where will you spend eternity?
