"Searching for the Truth"
If There is a Painting, Is There A Painter?
The evolution/creation debate is similar to
debating the existence of air. No matter how
much evidence we put forward as to the exis-
tence of air, the person refusing to acknowledge
air's existence would reject the evidence and
propose some alternative explanation. Yet, the
person denying the existence of air is breathing
air and using air to transmit his denial of air's
existence.1
In a similar way, evolution is simply a story to explain the existence of everything
while denying the existence of a Creator. Those who believe in evolution make truth
claims (random processes such as "mutations filtered by natural selection" created
all biological life); yet, the very existence of truth depends upon the Biblical concept
that truth exists. IF we are just gas molecules that turned into stars...that turned into
