Yet, Evolutionist believe this with a fiery passion. In The Lie: Evolution, Ken Ham shows us the key to defending our faith through Genesis. His main topics consist of the fact that Christianity is under attack, the evils of evolution, and the Creation and the coming fire. To begin, you must realize that our faith is being besieged. We must be able to defend it with full force. Know Atheists are biased! If you walk into a home and look at the books you’ll be able to realize that they have set opinions. Ken Ham was given seven minutes to prove evidence that the Bible was true. He covered creation all the way to the tower of Babel and fossils we find today. The radio host leaned back in his chair and said, “Well I didn’t hear any evidence for creation at all; so much for that!” Ken writes “Of course, what he meant was that he was not prepared to accept the evidence that I had …show more content…
For example, Adolf Hitler tried to justify his acts by saying “Survival of the fittest.” Therefore, he believed that people with blue eyes, white skin, and blonde hair were the superior race. As Christians we know that God made us each in his image and loves us uniquely. Many students know of Heckles Embryos, the picture in the Biology book that shows each embryo has a stage where it looks alike. Did you know that was proven as a fraud many years ago? That’s right, Heckles Embryos are a fake and are used in modern Biology books because it is a cheap fill!

    Lamoureaux, who believed that you could be a Christian and still believe in evolutionary theory, wrote the book I love Jesus and Accept Evolution. Evolution is the theory that animals evolved into different species over time. A lot of times people who believe in evolution are not Christians, but there are some Christians who do believe that you can be a Christian and still believe in evolution.

    In the introduction of “Charles Darwin and the Origin of Species,” author Michael Ruse discusses how Charles Darwin’s family came to have the wealth and social standings of the upper middle class of the time period. The relevance of the introduction is based on how Darwin could afford to be educated and how his social standing helped to support his farfetched theories of evolution during his lifetime. The introduction begins with Darwin’s full name, Charles Robert Darwin, which gives a visual image of what he might look like as well as identifying the main person that the biography is about. It goes on to give the date of his birth to start the setting. In the next sentence, Ruse links Darwin to Abraham Lincoln, another great innovator and…

    Intelligent Design on Trial Intelligent Design on Trial is a documentary over the Kitzmiller v Dover case. In this case, teaching intelligent design in public schools was ruled to be unconstitutional. This case brought about the question of whether or not intelligent design is a science, and should it be taught in science classes in public schools. In Pennsylvania, teachers refused to read a statement about intelligent design being related to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Because of this refusal, this brought parents and teachers to claim a lawsuit and sue the district which then led to a court case to determine if intelligent design is a new name for creationism, which is already forbidden in public schools because of its religious nature. Many say intelligent is a science stopper that make people stupid.…

    Only about 25% of the country of Darwin is electrified. For those who are not on the electric grid, lighting is primarily done by kerosene lamps and homemade candles. Kerosene fuel can cost as much as 50 cents a night, a substantial amount of money considering most Haitians only make about 2 dollars a day. Besides cost, kerosene also has many negative health risks, specifically harmful fumes and the risk of broken glass and fire. Due to these factors, many Haitians do not have much if any space lighting in their homes at night.…

    Evolution is a polarizing subject that some people may choose to regard it as fact while others may choose to regard it as a mere theory. Most people, including scientists believe that evolution is a fact because the evidence supporting it is very strong. However, others are reluctant to believe that evolution has happened because it may contradicts their holy beliefs and because no one has seen it happen. Evolution is a theory or a fact only to the extent that people are willing to accept it a theory or a fact. The Scopes Trial in 1925 sheds some light on the attitudes that people once had towards evolution.…

    In the essay, “Evolution as Fact and Theory,” Stephen Gould defenses Charles Darwin’s theory of Evolution over the beliefs of creationist on God creating all organisms in the world. To further his support, he states his three arguments which are observational evidence, the imperfection of nature, and transitions found in fossil records to demonstrate that even though evolution is just a theory, there are plentiful evidence of facts that supports it. The essay was not just about justifying the theory of evolution to the creationist but also to reject the ideas of blindfolded views on scientific creationism. Throughout the essay, Gould acknowledges many of the major perspectives of the scientific world to support the theory of evolution that…

It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” This quote was once said by the father of evolution himself, Charles Darwin who spent his life’s work on learning all he can about evolution. In the world we live in all organisms change, and were not the same thousands of years ago as they are today. There are two main theories to this process; scientific theory and religious theory.…
