How compatible is the biblical creation account and Darwin’s theory of evolution? Can we bring the two together? Most Christians in the sciences are theistic evolutionists but how strong is the support from the bible and science for this position? Join Pat and Dr. Fazale Rana as they discuss theistic evolution and why they are not theistic evolutionists.
There are three views Christian scientists and theologians hold regarding the age of earth and universe: Young earth creationism, Theistic evolution and Old Earth creationism. Many are familiar with the Young earth creationists view. However, there is some confusion between old earth creationism and theistic evolution. What are the differences between these two? Join Pat and Dr. Fazale Rana as they discuss the differences and why they are not theistic evolutionists.
If God is the perfect creator, how do we explain “Junk DNA? Do beneficial mutations prove Darwin’s theory? Do similar biological structures point to a common ancestor? These are some of the alleged proofs scientists point to in supporting Darwin’s theory of evolution. How do we address these challenges? Join Pat and fellow Evidence and Answers research staff Dr. Evan Kawamura as they address common arguments presented by evolutionists.
Darwin’s theory of Evolution dominates the sciences. Students in high schools and college are steeped in Darwin’s Evolutionary theory. Many of us remember it was in high school biology that we began to doubt the truth of the Genesis account and even the existence of God. What does Darwinian evolutionary theory teach? How do we answer the arguments of Darwinists? Join Pat and fellow Evidence and Answers research staff Dr. Evan Kawamura as they address the challenges presented by Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Episode 307 – Could Evolution Build The Animals? Part 2. Part of a two part series.
Atheist and best selling biologist Richard Dawkins states that the origin and diversity of life is not the result of an intelligent creator but the result of natural selection and natural processes. However, could the mechanism of natural selection account for the diversity of life we see on the earth? Scientist Dr. Paul Nelson puts this theory to the test and discovers natural selection falls short in several significant ways. In fact the evidence points in another direction. Listen as he explains why the Darwinian theory falls short.
Episode 306 – Could Evolution Build The Animals? Part 1. Part of a two part series.
Evolutionists assumed that all animals evolved from a common ancestor and therefore, expected the genetic sequencing of animals to be similar. However, DNA sequencing has revealed the genetic diversity amongst the animal species is vastly greater than they could have ever imagined. No current theory of evolution can account for the great genetic diversity in all the species of plants and animals. Is there another explanation for the genetic diversity of life? Listen to Dr. Paul Nelson as he answers the question “Could Evolution Build the Animals?” .
Atheists argue that Darwin’s theory provides the best and most comprehensive explanation for the origin and diversity of life. Is this the case or are there major flaws in Darwin’s theory? Does Intelligent Design offer a better scientific explanation to the origin of life? Many argue Intelligent design is religion and not science. Does philosophy and theology have a role in the world of scientific study? Join Pat and his guest Dr. Fazale Rana and they answer these questions and more challenges presented against the existence of God. See if the Christian worldview contradicts or best explains the data of science.
