Over the years, I’ve heard atheists claim over and over that young-earth creationists are “science deniers” who believe in a flat earth. And I recently heard this kind of claim again—but this time it wasn’t from an atheist. The claim was from the well-known Christian theologian and apologist William Lane Craig, who denies a literal Genesis, instead believing in evolution and millions of years.
Yes, he really compared believing what the Bible clearly teaches about Genesis to believing in a flat earth (something the Bible doesn’t teach and that denies observational science). But William Lane Craig has a problem—he doesn’t really understand science! And he refuses to take God at his Word in Genesis.
I explain what I mean by this in my response to Willian Lane Craig’s claims in this video:
It’s compromise on the truth of Scripture, and this compromise has major problems.
Yes, sadly, William Lane Craig has been impacted by the religion of naturalism (which is atheism), and he’s added that into the Bible. It’s compromise on the truth of Scripture, and this compromise has major problems (such as putting death and suffering before man’s sin—a direct contradiction of Scripture).
Instead of trusting the words of men who don’t know everything, weren’t there, and often make mistakes, we must start with the Word of the God who knows everything, who has always been there, and who has never made a mistake. William Lane Craig needs to do that!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
