Creation and Evolution Question
Q. Do you think when this latest scientific
revelation...will challenge a Christian's faith?"
A. Great question. If a person is forced to choose
BETWEEN faith and currentg scientific thought, then the motives and belief
system of that faith should be brought into question. As a believer in God, I
think that a person's faith in God, should be just that, believe in God.
Evolution, which is based upon scientific fact, doesn't challenge belief
systems, it only reports what we observe. As we acquire more knowledge, faith in
the unknown, can work around what we know to be true science. So, it presents no
challenge to faith, only more evidence of our history on our planet. The
challenge for people of faith, like myself, is to make our belief system fit
with this new knowledge. Every time a new discovery like this is made, I marvel
at this slow, gradual process of patience by which our Creator chose to create
us--by the laws of biology, chemistry, and physics. Exciting and amazing!
