Continuing with the subject of “Intelligent Design,” consider the human eye.  Darwin himself recognized that the eye was complex and would be difficult to explain by evolution.  Since his time, a great deal more has been discovered about the eye and we now know that it is much, much more complex than he thought. For example, the eyeball itself is made up of three totally…

Intelligent Design (ID) has become pretty popular in the last decade or two, but creationists have always believed in ID.  It used to be called Teleology.  Whatever you choose to call it, the idea is that the extreme complexity we see in nature argues very strongly for a Creator.  We all know that complex machines such as cars or computers require an intelligent designer…

In the last three issues of the Pony Express, we have looked at three things that evolutionists often cite as evidence for their belief and discussed why these are not  valid proofs of evolution.  Now let’s look at some specific scientific evidences for creation. First, we will consider the fossil record.  Millions of fossils of many different kinds have been discovered…

The last item of “evidence” for evolution that we will consider is Embryology.  As the name implies, this is the study of embryos.  Evolutionists believe in the idea: “Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny.”  That means that the development of the embryo in the womb (for humans) retraces it’s entire evolutionary history. This notion began with Ernst Haeckel who made a number…

Another category of evidence that is often used by evolutionists to claim that evolution is a fact is the belief in vestigial organs.  Vestigial organs are “left over” or useless organs.  The idea is that our ancestors evolved certain organs that they needed, but after millions of years of evolution, our bodies no longer need them.  Scientists used to have a list of over…

Do evolutionists have scientific evidence for evolution?  If you read their books and listen to them speak, it is obvious that they think they do.  Actually, many evolutionists believe that evolution is a proven fact and that anyone who does not believe it is an idiot. For example, they often use the argument of “homologous structures” or “comparative anatomy.”  If we…

So what if God chose to create the universe by the process of evolution?  Certainly He is powerful enough and wise enough to accomplish that, isn’t He?  Well, many people believe that is exactly what happened. However, there are some serious problems with the attempt to blend Biblical creation with the concept of evolution.  Remember, theistic evolutionists believe the…

What about theistic evolution?  If you are a Christian, you believe in God and you believe in the Bible.  But many Christians also believe that science has proven evolution to be true.  Isn’t it possible that God created life on earth or perhaps the entire universe over millions or billions of years by making tiny…

Who do you think knows more, God or man?  Who is wiser, God or man?  For Christians, these are really trivial questions.  We believe God to be omniscient (all knowing) and we know that man is fallen and makes many mistakes. Why, then, are so many Christians willing to embrace evolution when the Bible (God’s Word)…
