Theistic Evolution – Not Possible

Christians cannot believe in both Evolution and Creationism. If some do, they are compromising their principals, either consciously or without realizing it.

Paul, in speaking about the different species returning to their maker, said the following: “But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds.” ( 1 Cor. 15:38-39)

The problem of a fish or a bird becoming human is just as impossible as iron becoming gold.

We are in our maker’s image. The Law of Probability says that even if it were possible, it would take more time than the age of the earth to evolve from a fish that swam onto the shore and then through this leap of faith the fish grew legs, etc, etc, until it became a human being. Again this is saying even if it were possible, and I don't believe it is.

It is obvious that God wants to remain unrevealed. This means that we will never discover the truth about the beginning of human life until God again revels himself. However just as Jesus was rejected when he was on this earth approximately 2000 years ago, we would probably reject him if he came amongst us again today.

The Scriptures tell us that God created each species separately, each after its own kind. The Scriptures also tell us that Adam was the first man.

I am sure that some of what is presented in Evolution Theory has some basis, but not the overall Theory. There is no organic evolution.

If it is Science then this process should be demonstrable and it of course is not, therefore by the definition of Science if it cannot be predicted or repeated then it can only be speculated. This means it does not fit the rules of being Science.

However, the only real way to debate this subject is to use Science to inspect the claims and determine if indeed Science actually agrees with the claims.

This book Icons of Evolution actually deals with the subject without any religious references.

Here is just one of the many reviews from the above link:

“I must admit that reading this book was somewhat shocking. I had expected to see rehashed creationist arguments about the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record. On the contrary, nothing Wells says depends on creationist ideas. He has collected evidence from the mainstream, peer-reviewed scientific literature, and combined them into a compelling case against what we might call "textbook Darwinism." This might be a trivial accomplishment, since the record of high school and college textbooks is generally dismal. But his cumulative argument seems to me devastating to orthodox Neo-Darwinism, since it just is textbook Darwinism. Wells discusses the famous comparative vertebrate embryo diagrams-- which should be an embarrassment to any textbook author who includes them--the fallacious way homology is used for evidence of common ancestry, the collapse of the story of Peppered Moths, Darwin's finches, and many more pieces of the Darwinist lore. By the time I was finished, I had lost faith in almost everything I thought I knew about evolution. I now suspect that Darwin will soon join company with Marx and Freud.
I'm not sure what I believe at this point, but I can no longer buy the official story. I don't know if I agree with some of Wells' recommendations in his conclusion, but something clearly has to be done. Hysterical defenses of falsified "evidence" by Darwinian disciples at Talk.Origins and elsewhere convinces me that they didn't see this coming, and won't be able to deal with the actual facts involved.”

And yet another good review from the amazon.com link:

… “This is the first book I've read on evolution that actually uses "science" to examine the evidence for or against the theory. (I've read many on both sides of the fence) Science being evidence based. Wells certainly has the scientific credentials to do this and certainly more qualified than most of us to examine this evidence and make assertions based such evidence or lack thereof. The central theme of the book examines the main "Icons of Evolution" that the defenders of the theory call upon to show that evolution has been proven or at least demonstrated by the preponderance of the evidence. When someone asserts that evolution is a "fact" or has been "proven" they typically use one or more or all of these "Icons". They are briefly:

1. The Miller-Urey Experiment
2. Darwin's Tree of Life
3. Homology
4. Haekel's Embryos
5. Archaeopteryx
6. The Peppered Moths
7. Darwin's Finches
8. Four winged Fruit Flies
9. Fossil horses and their evolution
10. Ape to Man (the famous ascendancy drawing)

Wells scrutinizes these icons and pretty much explodes them all. The real fact here is that none of these icons support Darwin's theory - even the ones that aren't faked ( like the peppered moths or Haekel's Embryos). One example I can sum up refers to the origins of life and the Miller-Urey experiment; if we don't know what conditions existed, or what conditions are necessary, and can't reproduce the event in the laboratory, and can't show it to be statistically probable-why are we so very sure that it happened? Such evidence would not hold up in court, and sure won't satisfy the requirements for a science.”

There we have it. These reviews pretty much sum up my feelings based upon what I had already discovered myself. Of course I had not come up with near the evidence that Mr. Wells has, nor do I want to imply I have made any exhaustive study, but my conclusions are similar to those of the reviewers above.
