Re: UK loses faith
I find it interesting that some people who support Evolution are quite determined to prove people who believe Creation, wrong. They will claim Evolution as a fact, when it is actually a theory, granted, the predominant theory. Creation, from the scientific standpoint, is also a theory. For Christians, it is only by applying faith in The word of God that makes creation a 'faith-fact' i.e., not as we generally understand the word 'fact'.
I don't see that determination to disprove Evolution coming from the Creation side. Is it because they currently don't have as much scientific evidence as the Evolution people have? Maybe; I haven't totted up the evidence on either side. Is it because they are afraid of being ridiculed because they are standing against the 'world' view? Or is it more to do Bible Believing Christians having such confidence in the Word of God and a complete peace in what it teaches, that they don't need to defend it. That is certainly where I'm coming from. It's maybe a combination of all three.
Evolution is certainly a more 'convenient' stance. There is no creator God, and therefore no one to be accountable to when you die. Providing you obey the law, you can do whatever you want. On a human level, a pretty attractive proposition
If you acknowledge a Creator, and therefore creation, that whole scenario becomes a whole lot different. Decisions need to be made both for the way we live today and also with regard to eternity. Not such an attractive prospect on the human level.
It's easy to see on a non scientific level why Evolution is so attractive. And of course the devil loves Evolution; it negates the need of people to come to faith in Jesus.
As someone reportedly said, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist"
