'How can you even begin to question something as well established as evolution?'

 
Well, you might be surprised to find that the ‘fact’ of evolution is really not a fact at all. Like any other notion of how we got here, it is simply another theory that needs to be fairly examined. I think that enough time has passed since Darwin first proposed the idea for us to now look at it with fresh eyes and the wisdom of years of research. Let’s see if the theory can be supported by the evidence.

 
'Isn’t the evidence overwhelming?'

 
That all depends on what definition of evolution you are trying to prove. If you are trying to argue that the all life here on planet earth evolved from non-living chemical elements (macroevolution), then very little has actually been demonstrated by science. To believe in this form of evolution, one has to have an fair amount of faith; far more faith than is required to believe that a creator God is responsible for the diversity of life that we presently see.

 

'But aren’t you biased as a Christian?'

 

Well, I wasn’t always a Christian, and in the years that I was an atheist, I simply accepted the theory of evolution without truly investigating its claims. But for the record, as a human being, I definitely have a point of view. Please remember, however, that EVERYONE has a point of view. No one comes to ANY question without a history and perspective. The real issue is: does my point of view prevent me from fairly examining the evidence? Let’s simply do our best to lay out the evidence and you be the judge about what it happens to say about the ‘fact’ of evolution…
