Evolution evolves; Bible remains same

Regarding Joe Bauer's April 24 letter, "Evolution is no theory, it's fact," I have this to say: Christ lived, died on a cross, then rose from the dead - that's a fact, not a theory.

Anyone can claim something is a fact, not a theory. Joe asserts that the Bible is an inaccurate source of scientific facts and that "Evolution is not in God's plan. Because there is no God's plan,"

Asserting that God has no plan is an improvable statement of faith. Joe, at least you have faith; that's an important fact. Which is more likely accurate, "The universe and all therein came from nothing," or, "It all came from something? Nothing still comes from nothing, last I checked.

Science deals only with Big Bang forward, as that's when the laws that science attempts to discover began to form. No matter what you believe about pre-Big Bang requires faith.

Regarding evolution specifically, there isn't even a credible explanation for how the first cell formed from inanimate matter, by faith evolutionists just believe it happened, somehow.

Since the theory of evolution was first proposed, secular scientists have claimed, "This is how it is." Over the years the theory keeps changing in its details. The only thing factual about evolution theory is that it keeps evolving but, evolutionists keep the faith. The Bible remains the same.

Facts are discrete pieces of knowledge. It's the interpretation of them, the story they tell that's important. I don't buy evolution's story. The hardest part about Christianity isn't the facts of its story, as they are well established, but the implications of the story as they are threatening to some. Regarding your faith, Joe, Google Hebrews 11:1-3. Just what is it you hope for?
