The Field Manual Series

Now, someone might ask:

“What about evolution? Doesn’t the Bible contradict that?”

Yes, it does. And part of the reason is that Evolution is still less science than it is theory.

I could spend several Sundays talking about the weaknesses of Evolutionary Theory, but today I’m only going to focus on why Evolution is not (and probably never will be) considered a scientific FACT.

In order for a theory to become “scientific fact” it has to pass two significant tests

1. It must be observable and

2. it must be repeatable in a controlled setting.

Evolution still fails to meet those standards.

No one has ever "observed" one species of animal evolve into another. In fact God has deliberately erected a wall between the species that cannot be breached.

In the book of Genesis we’re gold that God created all things “according to their kinds” (e.g. Genesis 1:21). But God has created a wall between those kinds.

Consider the lowly mule. How do you get a mule? You mate a horse and a donkey. But once you’ve mated these 2 animals and conceived a mule there’s a problem. There’s something a mule cannot do. What can’t a mule do? It can’t have babies – it’s sterile. It always works out that way. That’s one of the walls God erected.

Then there’s a creature called a “liger.” Have you ever heard of a liger? It’s the offspring of a lion and tiger. Guess what? It’s sterile too. Ligers will never have offspring because God has created a wall between the species.

Additionally, after 100 years of fossil discoveries, the so-called “missing links” are still missing. There has been no legitimate find of the supposed “links” between the species that Evolutionists have always said should be there. They’re missing links because they simply don’t exist.

And, of course, the final reason Evolution is still a theory is: scientists have yet to even create a simple form of life in the laboratory. They can speculate all day long, but until they can repeat the supposed creation of life Evolution will never be legitimate scientific fact.

Evolution is still a "theory".

But when the Bible deals with scientific fact, it’s marvelously scientific.

Take the science of astronomy for example:

This science began in Greece by a man named Hipparchus. Over a period of 65 years (from 161 to 126 B.C.) he identified a total of 1,080 stars. It wasn’t until Galileo invented the telescope in the 17th Century that people began to realize there were far more stars in the sky than this.

Over the years, countless millions of stars have been discovered… and there even more they haven’t found yet.

But long before Hipparchus and Galileo, Genesis 15:5 declared that there were far more stars than you could count. God challenged Abraham: “Look up at the heavens and count the stars— if indeed you can count them."

And later in Jeremiah we’re told: "I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as COUNTLESS as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’" (33:22).

Then there’s earth sciences:
