What evidence is there that God exists?
There are many evidences, but I will identify three here.
First, God left his fingerprints in nature. This was discussed under intelligent design and irreducible complexity. Specified information systems like the DNA molecule, order and predictable laws in nature are only possible as a result of intelligence and not chance. So the evidence in nature points to the existence of an intelligent being, but doesn’t reveal his identity or name (see Romans 1:18-20). [Read more…]
Dr. Bierle, why were you previously committed to macroevolution?
In a word, I was indoctrinated. My high school, college, and graduate school education was all based in evolutionary texts and teachers. Some of them were good people and good teachers, but they too were products of indoctrination. Public science education, museums, national parks, children’s cartoons, movies, and books all join together to present to everyone today that macroevolution is scientifically proven. I felt I had no choice. [Read more…]
What difference does one’s view of origins really make?
Human dignity and worth are lost if we are merely products of chance and evolved from apes. We are cosmic accidents and do not know why we are here.
In contrast, we have dignity and great value if we are specially and purposely created by a personal God in His image and likeness. Furthermore, the fact that there is final accountability to our Creator means our lives (thoughts, actions) have meaning and are significant.
Finally, there is ultimate justice (righteousness will be rewarded, evil will be punished) and our destiny is not a mystery—there is life after death.
Can you be a Christian and believe in the Bible, and still believe in evolution, too?
The Bible is clear that becoming a Christian (salvation) is a gift based solely on faith in the person of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and rose again to conquer death (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 5:11-13). A particular view of origins is not a condition for becoming or being a Christian. (See “Becoming New in Christ.”)
In my presentation “Why I Believe… in Creation,” (available on our YouTube® channel) I made it clear that microevolution (adaptation) of organisms is observable in nature and not in conflict with Christian faith or the Bible. Indeed, it gives credit to a God who creates with intelligence and wisdom. [Read more…]
