Genesis versus Darwinism: The case for God in a scientific world

If you grew up believing that God created the world, that he is the author of all life, you have

probably had those beliefs challenged, perhaps even ridiculed. God gets a lot of bad press these

days. And when it comes to the beginning of the world, many people believe that the Genesis

story of creation is just a myth.

Science long ago proved creation wrong, they tell you. And they point to the evidence: Darwin’s

Theory of Evolution, fossils, and facts about the age of the earth. But take another look, and

consider the evidence more closely. Science actually hasn’t come up with the evidence to

discount the Genesis story of creation, much as some people would like to think it has. Many

contemporary scientists agree with the most published scientist of the last century, Stephen

Jay Gould who, despite his atheism, wrote: “Darwinism is effectually dead.” Find out the facts,

what’s real and what’s fabricated, and read what the experts have to say.

And why does this matter, anyway? Because it’s about more than the beginnings of life. It’s about

what life means, about your value, and whether you should care about right and wrong, kindness

or cruelty, peace or war. This is about whether life is worth living.

Genesis, the Bible’s ‘book of beginnings’ says: “In the beginning God ...”. It’s probably the most

important sentence ever written.
