Atheism and Evolution go very well together, whereas those who want to make Evolution fit into the Bible have to work very hard!

Thus the variety of conflicting schemes designed to force the Bible agree with Evolution

Darwin versus Christ

Why You Can’t Logically Believe

Both the Bible and Evolution

at the Same Time!

Atheism is much more compatible with Evolution

Bible simply does not teach Evolution

Slide 17

Bible simply does not teach Evolution

Evolution, if true, is of central importance

to our whole worldview.

So if the Bible is really a book from God,

then it should have clearly taught us

about this key “truth” of Evolution

The Bible, however, does not teach us about Evolution (in fact, it teaches many things contrary to evolutionary thinking).

Therefore, either Evolution is not true,

or the Bible is not a book from God.

Slide 18

Bible simply does not teach Evolution

“I had been raised a Southern Baptist,

laid backward under the water on the

sturdy arm of a pastor, been born again.

I knew the healing power of redemption.

Faith, hope and charity were in my bones, and

with millions of others I knew that my savior

Jesus Christ would grant me eternal life.

More pious than the average teenager,

I read the Bible cover to cover, twice.

But now at college, steroid-driven

into moods of adolescent rebellion,

I chose to doubt. I found it hard to accept

that our deepest beliefs were set in stone by

agricultural societies of the eastern Mediterranean

more than two thousand years ago. . . .”

Slide 19

“. . . But most of all, Baptist theology

made no provision for evolution.

The biblical authors had missed

the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not

really privy to the thoughts of God?

Might the pastors of my childhood,

good and loving men though they were, be mistaken? It was all too much,

and freedom was ever so sweet.

I drifted away from the church,

not definitively agnostic or atheistic, just Baptist no more.”
