Did God Create Life? A Look at Evolution (1 of 2)
Series: Creation and Conception: Obstacles to Believing
Scott Maze
Matthew 10:29
Today, I invite you to join with me in looking at a life-altering question, ''Did God Create Life? A Look at Evolution.'' This is part of two week series entitled, Creation and Conception: Obstacles to Faith. Next Sunday, I invite you to spend part of your Thanksgiving holiday with me as we examine: ''Why Are Christians So Pro-Life? A Look at Abortion.''
The Bible's message begins both artistically and simply: ''In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth'' (Genesis 1:1). God's creation of the heavens and the earth is central to Christianity. The historic Apostles Creed picks up on the importance of this when it begins with these familiar words, ''I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.'' Further, the Bible teaches that God has ongoing care for His creation. His role with creation is not one act and He moves on. Rather, we learn God is caring for even the smallest matters of the universe: ''Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father'' (Matthew 10:29).
Now, every worldview starts with a story how everything came into being. And today, I want to contrast two ways to see our world: naturalistic evolution vs. biblical Christianity. Science has presented the Christian faith with some unique challenges over the past century or more. Charles Darwin did not invent evolution for evolutionary thought was around long before Darwin. In fact, Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus Darwin embraced evolution and was known for this teaching in Britain before his grandson. Even ancient Greek thought was divided over this matter. But the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species popularized the debate of evolution. So from the days of Darwin (the mid 1800s) to our day, the question has been essentially this: Can the theory of evolution be rec ...
