Creation vs. evolution is not a battle of science vs. the Bible or science vs. faith. It’s a battle between two starting points; God’s Word and man’s word. Which starting point you chose will determine how you interpret the evidence.
In the creation/evolution controversy and battle over biblical authority, much of the dispute may become clearer if writers would carefully provide readers with precise definitions of terminology. These definitions may help clear up confusion.
Why is it that evolutionists are unwilling to allow for competing models, i.e., creation or even intelligent design? The hypothesis of evolution changes every year; if one theory is said to be fact, but then a year later is shown to be wrong, then how can it be fact in the first place? A true fact is something that never changes.
Can science and religion get along? Some secular scientists do seem to be making an effort to reach out; the problem is that they are only reaching out to religious individuals who won’t let their faith “get in the way” of science.
Russell Garwood in his article “Reach out to defend evolution,” complains that creationists present “perceived gaps in scientific knowledge as evidence in support of theistic world views.” Taking a biblical stand does not undermine science; it illuminates science, just like reliable eyewitness testimony enables a detective to correctly interpret the circumstantial evidence at the scene of a crime.
Tennessean published an article criticizing US Senator (and medical doctor) Dr. Bill Frist (the US Senate Majority Leader) for his support of the teaching of intelligent design in public schools.

One lady who wrote to AiG stated, among other things, “I have made it my goal to disbunk religion.”
Science, or more accurately ‘scientism,’ has not hesitated to wade into the domain of religion.
Can it be that a Christian school movement—which is supposed to be rebuilding the ‘house’—is actually building a much worse structure … and ‘great will be the fall of it’?
In the past months, several magazine, newspaper and Web articles (often lead stories)—and also TV shows—have been ardently pushing evolution.
Dr Frank D. has had an interesting interchange with his alma mater that we believe makes for some fascinating reading.
In many of our mailings, we encourage AiG supporters to send us their prayer requests.
Critic argues against bias and indoctrination, but is there such a thing as an unbiased viewpoint?
Harvard evolutionist Dr. Stephen Jay Gould spoke to educators in New England recently and called the debate about creation versus evolution an American “bizarrity” and “insidious.”
The American newsweekly U.S. News and World Report features an April 10 story that misrepresents the creationist movement.
This article discusses the work of Forrest M. Mims III, in particular his revolutionary invention, and his denial of work at the scientific american magazine for denying evolution.
The clash between creation science and evolution science is thus not a clash between science and religion at all, but between two competing world views.
The growing acceptance of atheistic evolution has resulted in many rejecting God as Created. Over the years, many have used evolution to justify sinful behavior.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
