Same Evidence, Different Worldviews

All this week we’ve been looking at the order in the fossil record and how to interpret it. It’s a good reminder that the battle isn’t over the evidence. You see, creationists and evolutionists both study the same fossils, the same rocks, the same world but come to very different interpretations because of our worldviews.

Evolutionists view the evidence through the lens of millions of years of slow and gradual processes. Creationists view the same evidence through the lens of biblical history, starting in Genesis. I often explain it like a pair of glasses—well, your lens determines how you view and interpret the evidence.
