Much more could be said on this subject, but with this article, the series will be brought to a close. Perhaps it is appropriate to conclude with some summary statements.
- Evolutionary theories do not constitute true science or certain, demonstrable scientific fact. Evolutionists chide the Bible believer for his blind faith, all the while holding on to an absolutely blind faith himself. At least the faith of the Bible believer is in complete harmony with true science, which cannot be said for evolutionist doctrines.
- The evolutionist assumes a dogmatic position, advocating that science (as he views it) is the final arbiter of all truth. His dogmatic assumptions are based on preconceptions that favor naturalistic materialism while denying the possibility of the sudden creative work of God.
- Generally, evolutionists have been so brazen in their claims that they have intimidated the public into accepting their theories as proved facts, which they most decidedly are not.
- All the attempts at explaining how evolution occurred have miserably failed.
- The fossil record would yield creatures and plants in intermediate states of development if evolution had occurred, but absolutely no intermediate forms have ever been discovered, even in the oldest rock formations.
- The theories of evolution require chance occurrences that far exceed the range of reasonable probabilities or even possibilities.
- Notwithstanding the claims of most evolutionists, there are thousands of dedicated, well-trained scientists who find no conflict in the simple account of creation in Genesis with any principle of science.
- Likely, no other philosophical view has done more to turn men away from God, the Bible, and a Biblical morality and frame of reference in the past century than the godless theories of evolution. The true believer cannot help but vigorously oppose them.
