Ah! So, according to you, God cannot use natural processes to accomplish His goals.

It leaves no room for when sin happened. It leaves no room for when man obtained a soul (how did the soul evolve?). And it leaves no reason for Christ to come to earth to die for our sins. And because God is the Alpha and Omega, evolution denies God's Alpha by denying His Creation of all life and the universe. And if God has no Alpha, He has no Omega, and therefore cannot exist.
Nowhere in the theory of evolution is the existence of God denied. Sin happened the first time for the same reason it happens now...we have free will. Because sin happens and God decided that Christ must be sacrificed in order for God to forgive those sins, Christ had to be the sacrifice.

"Alpha" stands for "beginning" and "Omega" stands for "ending". If evolution did truly happen as put forth in the theory, how does that prevent Christ from being the Beginning and the Ending? Please be specific in your answer.

Here is the list of opposites:

C: Earth before sun.
E: Sun before earth....

...C: There is eternity.
E: There is no eternity.


Basically, your reasoning is that evolution does not line up with your interpretation of the Bible in that you believe the Genesis account is actual history and not a story that explains the nature of God and the existence of death and the evils of this world.

The main reason that Evolution is the direct opposite of creation starts with what happened to Darwin on the Beagle. When he stepped on board, he was a Christian with a degree in theology. He even pondered becoming a missionary.

While on broad he read a book written by a Bible scoffer named Charles Lyle. In Lyle's book, he constantly took pot shots at the Biblical creation in explaining his idea of the geologic column. By the middle of the voyage Darwin's faith was weakened. By the end of the voyage he was pretty much an atheist.....

The loss of faith by an individual in the face of facts that appear to contradict his beliefs is not a testament to the "antiGodness" of those facts.

Now you look at how these opposites are used everyday to attack a Christian's faith. Now would you not say that Darwin got his perfect revenge?

People use the fact that storms hurt and kill people all over the world as an excuse to attack the Christian's faith. Do you deny the existence of storms, their effect on populations, or the science of meteorology? The misuse of something to attack your faith says nothing about it's existence or truth.

A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
