One of the most fantastic fairy tales ever told is Darwinian evolution. Except that this is no ordinary fairy tale; this one is intended for grown-ups. Although most of us who are reading this don't subscribe to its teachings, we cannot ignore the fact that millions have been duped by its erroneous claims. If you intend to open your mouth for the kingdom of God, then sooner or later you can be sure you will find yourself on this battleground.
Some people are afraid of getting into a conversation over the whole creation vs. evolution debate because they don't think they know enough. We often make the mistake of associating evolutionists or athiests as intellectuals. Although this argument will only be fought in the realm of the intellect, there really is nothing to fear. They don't have any ammunition! It is actually a lot of fun to debate staunch evolutionsts because it is so easy to poke holes in the theory. It is all built on conjecture and hypotheses. The only evidence they have is still missing.
"The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link except the fact that it is missing." G. K. Chesterton
Professor Louis Bounoure, the director of the National Center of Scientific Research, said, "Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."
Dr. T.N.Tahmisian, of the Atomic Energy Commission, stated, "Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact."
So here are a few questions you can ask your Darwinian friends. Where did the space for the universe come from? Where did matter come from? Where did energy originate? How did life emerge from dead matter? What caused the big bang? If it all started out as nothing, how does this correspond with the 2nd law of thermodynamics? How did organisms begin to reproduce and why did they need to? Did male come first or female? How is it possible that male and female each spontaneously came into being, yet they have complex, complementary reproductive systems? Did the first land creatures breathe? Did they evolve lungs? why would they evolve lungs if they were happily getting along without them? Which came first, the blood, or the veins and arteries the blood flows in? How did the 12 chain-reactions neccessary for blood coagulation develop? Wouldn't creatures have bled to death? How and why did those chemical reactions evolve? Where does a creature's mouth send the food before it develops a stomach? How did it get energy to find food if it wasn't able to digest it? Where did the appetite come from if the creature was surviving without food? Why develop eyes? How many years did they take to evolve? We could go on all day. All you need to do is choose anything in God's wonderful creation and begin to pick it apart, asking questions about its evolutionary process, and you will see the embarrassment of the century for what it is. Intellectual suicide.
You don't need to know everything about evolution in order to defuse the bomb. All you need to do is ask questions, and the theory begins to fall apart at the seams. Remember, winning the battle over evolution is not the point. The point is to get the door open so you can share the gospel with them. Evolution was simply a starter conversation to swing into the things of God. The person could be completely convinced that there must be a God, but still end up in their sins on Judgement Day and wind up in the lake of fire. There are plenty of non-christian theists out there. Even those who admit there is a God can be misled by the enemy into believing a lie. What is most important is that you share the Biblical message of salvation with them.
Go out and be bold! You have nothing to fear. Even if they will not hear you, what is the worst that will happen? Will you die? Will they rob your faith? Will the Lord forsake you? Never! You are a child of the King, filled with his Holy Spirit. You are an ambassador in a foreign land, called to represent Him here and shine as a bright light to a lost world. Don't be hiding that candle under a bushel. Take it out, add fuel and stoke that fire into a blazing inferno, and the darkness will flee from before you as you lead men and women to the source of light and life. All for the glory of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
