Charles Hodge on The Atheistic Nature of The Darwinian Theory

Charles Hodge on The Atheistic Nature of The Darwinian Theory

the system is thoroughly atheistic, and therefore cannot possibly stand. God has revealed his existence and his government of the world so clearly and so authoritatively, that any philosophical or scientific speculations inconsistent with those truths are like cobwebs in the track of a       Darwin, therefore, does teach precisely what Dr....

More On Evolution And Gnosticism

…two important themes are discernible in the writings of Darwin and his fellow naturalists: Gnosticism and natural theology. Gnosticism is an ancient belief system that draws a strong distinction between spirit and matter. Spirit is good and matter is evil. Whereas the Bible says that God made the world, Gnosticism holds that God is...

The Philosophical Foundation of Evolutionary Thought

Just a couple of quotes for folks to think about. Charles Darwin himself famously complained in a letter to Asa Gray, “I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too...

Irenaeus, ANE Gods, Gnosticism, And Theistic Evolution

It is quite easy for folks to read misread a post with which they disagree. It seems that happens quite often. Marv gets it, however. Ladies and gentlemen, Jason has come across an interesting and quite valid parallel. Irenaeus objected to people in his day who thought so much of a prevailing non-Scriptural school...

Irenaeus, ANE Gods, Gnosticism, And Evolution

February 16, 2012

Irenaeus’ “Against Heresies” is quite the tome to wear one out. Much of what he deals with simply bores me due to the fact that so much of it seems irrelevant. My reading has been to learn, and I have profited much by seeing the already established orthodoxy of his day. Beyond that things...

Stand to Reason Blog: Question Evolution

Science has two definitions. The first is the most well known. Science is about a methodology–observation, experimentation, testing, etc.–that allows researchers to discover the facts about the world. Presumably, this is what evolution is about–the facts of science. Science in this sense has prompted the litany of concerns expressed above by evolutionists. The second...

Microevolution And Macroevolution

  I was recently accused of ignorance because of a recent post of mine. In that post I stated that the lizard which had changed to live births from laying eggs was not an example of macroevolution. Macroevolution generally refers to evolution above the species level. So instead of focusing on an individual beetle...

Joel and Dr. McGrath Miss The Point On Evolution

Joel and Dr. McGrath Miss The Point On Evolution

Joel and Dr. McGrath both posit that there is proof of evolution, and they provide links to which we can refer. There’s a fundamental problem with what they present: it is evidence for micro-evolution, or adaptation. It is not evidence for macro-evolution, or the move from a single celled organism to humans, or something...

Evolution Ex Nihilo

Evolution Ex Nihilo

Evolutionists have frequently criticized creationism as unscientific because of its basic commitment to the doctrine of creation ex nihilo —that is, “creation out of nothing.” The idea that God simply called the universe into existence by His own power, without using any pre-existing materials, is rejected out of hand by evolutionists, since this would...

Evolution, or Design?

Chickens and other birds are thought to have descended from dinosaurs through a series of genetic changes. But by altering the DNA of chicken embryos in the early stages of their development, scientists are able to undo the progress made by evolution and give them qualities they lost millions of years ago… …by altering...
