In the world of secular science, evolution is king. You cannot watch a single program about life, and the cause of life, without being drenched in evolutionary dogma. And yet, at its core, evolution rests on one primary claim: somewhere, eons of time ago, where there was nothing came something – poof! The Christian is mocked for utilizing faith as his primary foundation for truth. The scientist is championed for the same faith in an event that if true can only be explained in the supernatural. Imagine for a moment a world that comes into being with men and women fully grown. A world like that cannot be explained outside of the existence of God. However, if you can reduce the world down to a process that occurs over billions of years, you have a chance of explaining away God. Still, that chance is dependent upon a point in time when everything popped into being out of nothing. There is no scientific foundation for such a hypothesis. It just simply has to be, or else you are left with God.

I am not a scientist. I am nothing really. And yet, I am not a fool. I am reasonably intelligent and at one time, I had almost bought into the evolutionary bag of tricks. However, one thing kept me from falling hook line and sinker. Sin. Deep down inside I knew that I was sinful. I knew that there was such a thing as right and wrong. And while I could not argue the basic tenants of science on evolution, what I did know is what we all know. There are things, acts of the human flesh, which despite our best efforts to argue otherwise, are simply wrong. It was those acts that brought me to my knees before a holy God. It may seem strange to say I walked away from evolution based on sin, but it is nonetheless true. As I placed my utter faith in Christ, as I threw myself at the feet of mercy, I also submitted to the One who claimed to be the truth. And if that One is the truth, then everything contrary is a lie. Thus, I was left with a dilemma: do I merge the two opposing views so as not to look silly, or do I place my full faith in Christ and follow where He leads? Clearly I chose the latter.

The point I am making is this: science makes a claim that is nothing more than intellectual hubris akin to the gambling addict seeking just one more turn of the cards. Common sense dictates that cells do not simply go poof! Where there was no life, there does not suddenly become life. Instead of buying the evolutionary lie, spend some time thinking about your own behavior. Are there not things in your life, thoughts and behaviors, which you would describe as sinful? Those acts are acts of rebellion against God. They are acts of a lawbreaker. Now, either your conscience is some evolutionary mishap, or your conscience is a signpost pointing you to God. Consider the possibility today and if you find your heart broken over how you have offended God, then repent and place your trust in Christ.
