According to one evolutionist the answer is “yes.” In his blog post, “Confessions of a Creationist: the making of a serial killer,” he writes,
How do you reason with Creationists/I.D. advocates? Sometimes you can’t. They aren’t listening because they think that if they do listen God will be very very mad at them. Some people are [...]

Last week in our News to Note, Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell discussed a study that some scientists claim may help solve the mystery of the origin of life. The scientists created a molecule called XNA that can store information much like DNA or RNA. Dr. Mitchell explained as follows:
DNA and RNA are polymers with nucleic acids [...]
If you read nothing more than the recent news reports concerning the new Tennessee law that provides protection for teachers wishing to teach the scientific weaknesses of evolution, global warming and other issues, then you might answer “yes” to the question in this post’s title. I was rather amazed at the language used to describe [...]
This was the title of a video production in which women scientists from around the world testified of the importance of evolution. The SCOPE project that developed the video stated the following:
This video was produced to allow scientists to explain, in their own words, the importance of evolution to science — and the related importance [...]
I’ll be speaking on evolution and the Galapagos Islands in Branson, Missouri, at our Proclaiming the Faith Conference in July. As many of my faithful blog readers know, I experienced two weeks exploring the Galapagos Islands in May of 2011. I took over 2,000 pictures and published a daily blog about my experiences. At the [...]
Most people who have taken a high school biology course probably remember learning about the peppered moth. It has become an iconic example of “evolution in action.” The moth Biston betularia comes in two basic varieties—light and dark. In wooded areas in England, the darker variety is believed to be more common in areas where [...]
A student at Concordia University asked me this question a few weeks ago in Austin. My initial reply was, “It ruined it!” I then elaborated on what I meant by this. It ruined my career as perceived by man. I will most likely never be able to get a job in a secular university or [...]
At a recent event in Austin, Texas, I was asked the following question by several people: “If the evidence so clearly does not support evolution, why do scientists believe it?” The reply I always give in response to that question is that people do not want to be responsible to God. It shows us this [...]
Recently we received a rather derogatory inquiry concerning bacteria that “eat” nylon as being an example of the type of mutation that results in a gain of genetic information. Evolution requires a gain of genetic information to go from molecules to man. Novel structures and functions like a brain, eyeballs, a cardiovascular system, etc., need [...]
A couple weeks ago I was alerted to a NPR blog with the title, “Why Do So Many Have Trouble Believing In Evolution?” The blog’s author, Dr. Marcelo Gleiser, is a theoretical physicist at Dartmouth College. Gleiser begins the blog with statistics from polls that show many people do not believe in evolution and how [...]
