The Galápagos Islands Are an Icon of Evolution—But Should They Be?

We as creationists agree with many of the actual observations that Darwin made!

You might be shocked to learn that creationists and evolutionists both agree that organisms change. We agree that some finch species have smaller beaks and others have larger ones and that beak size can give one species an advantage over another in a specific environment. We agree that such advantages may cause a population to shift in a certain direction. In other words, we as creationists agree with many of the actual observations that Darwin made! Where we disagree is how we explain the unobserved past and where traits (such as beaks) came from in the first place. The different beaks sizes are just variation in finches, and finches remain finches.

In this presentation, Dr. Jennifer Rivera does a great job explaining the history of the Galápagos and Darwin; what natural selection is; and how what Darwin observed actually confirms the Bible’s history, not his ideas about the past. I encourage you learn more by watching her presentation.

Join Us for the Trip of a Lifetime

And if you’d like to learn even more—and have the adventure of a lifetime while learning—you can actually go with Dr. Rivera on the trip of a lifetime to the Galápagos Islands! This coming May 28–June 7, Dr. Rivera, along with marine biologist Karina Altman and botanical expert Vivian Rivera, is leading a group to explore the islands. And there will be special teaching times so you can understand the Galápagos through a biblical worldview.

So discover the truth about the Galápagos Islands for yourself as you snorkel in crystal clear waters among creatures as diverse as sea turtles, penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas, reef sharks, rays, and a whole host of reef fish; meet giant (and we do mean giant) tortoises; birdwatch for exotic species; explore 1,200 species within the orchid kind in an orchidarium; and so much more.

Space is limited, so be sure to register right away at CreationMuseum.org/events/workshops/explore/islands.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
