Weekly Poll for June 8
June 9, 2009
Today Christians have a variety of views on how the Earth was created, whether by God in six literal days, the GAP theory, intelligent design (God created animals as they are over thousands of years), and theistic evolution (God used macro-evolution to create all life).
Now while evolution on a small scale has been widely accepted (also known as micro-evolution), the theory of Macro-evolution as its known has been greatly challenged by the Christian community. Interestingly enough, the original theory proposed by Darwin, also known as Phyletic Gradualism has mostly been debunked or rejected by the scientific community… yet this remains the leading theory people think of when considering evolution (animals slowly changed into new species over millions of years).
Today’s leading theories for evolution include Punctuated Equilibrium theory (animals morphed into new species almost overnight), Punctuated Gradualism (a mix of Phyletic Gradualism and Punctuated Equilibrium), and Quantum Evolution (the rate of evolution greatly differs from each type of species).

The Smile Test
January 30, 2009
By Ray Comfort
A little girl asked her mother, “How did the human race appear?”
The mother answered, “God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made.”
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.”
The confused girl returned to her mother and said, “Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?”
The mother answered …

“Far too long have sages vainly
Glossed great Nature’s simple text;
He who runs can read it plainly,
‘Goodness = what comes next.’
By evolving, Life is solving
All the questions we perplexed.”

Excerpt: Nature’s Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire Faith, by Daniel Harrell
October 3, 2008
At the emergent village blog. An excerpt from the excerpt:
Historically, religious faith, particularly Christianity, served as the loom onto which the discoveries of science were woven. It was within a Christian theological framework that scientific disclosure found its transcendent meaning. Descartes, Bacon, Galileo, Kepler and Newton, believers all, saw their work not as replacements for faith, but as extensions of it. The idea was that the best of science and the best of theology concerted to give human beings deeper insight into the workings of the universe and, subsequently, into the divine character. Scientific discovery was received with gratitude to the Almighty for the wonder of his creation. Scientists, alongside the psalmist, would proclaim, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Ps 19:1 NIV).
