Science and Creation


If they [the infidel] find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason?
(St. Augustine on Genesis)

on the origins of life and evolution ( German translation and a commentary)
``theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the spirit as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man.''

Reasons To Believe by Dr. Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist.
A view that tries to preserve the complete reliability of the bible without being too literal. For example:
``In Genesis 6, 7, 8, and 9 two Hebrew words, nephesh and basar, are used to describe the animals on board the ark. The word nephesh includes birds and mammals only. The word basar refers more specifically to those birds and mammals that contribute to man's livelihood. Further, the word for world refers to mankind and the area he occupied rather than the entire globe.''
For opposing views, see: Could Noah's Ark Hold all the Animals?

A New Theological View of Genesis. A summary of the book Foundation, Fall and Flood: A Harmonization of Genesis and Science by Glenn R. Morton.
His thesis might be wrong; but certainly it is an interesting attempt to reconciliate Genesis 1-9 and evolution.


Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round. Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical questions - are like that. (C.S. Lewis)

Proving the authenticity of an ancient text by means of hidden numerical patterns (by Greg Hartman)


A doctor, an architect, and a computer scientist were arguing about whose profession was the oldest. In the course of their arguments, they got all the way back to the Garden of Eden, whereupon the doctor said, "The medical profession is clearly the oldest, because Eve was made from Adam's rib, as the story goes, and that was a simply incredible surgical feat."
The architect did not agree. He said, "But if you look at the Garden itself, in the beginning there was chaos and void, and out of that, the Garden and the world were created. So God must have been an architect."
The computer scientist, who had listened to all of this said, "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from?"
