Answers to Questions - Creation vs. Evolution

If it’s so obvious, why did Evolution gain so much acceptance from science in the first place?

Long before space probes and electron microscopes, the great scientists had no doubt about Creation (including Newton, Galileo and others). Then came Darwin, the industrial revolution and "higher criticism" of the Bible (a movement when intellects in the late 1800’s decided they knew more about the Bible, than the original authors - an idea since proven wrong). A few fossils in Darwin’s day, combined with discovery of God’s plan of natural selection (ability of creatures to adapt - called MICROevolution - and consistent with the Bible) was extended into MACRO Evolution. Today most people equate the word EVOLUTION with MACROevolution. It claims that randomly produced living cells changed, over eons, into entirely new species - eventually into man. God was not necessary.

Many scientists quickly jumped on this Evolution bandwagon. People began to think science = knowledge, and the Bible = stories. But at that time, scientists had faulty information. They thought human cells were "blobs" of protoplasm, that the universe was infinite, that fossils would eventually prove Evolution through vast quantities of "missing links." All contradicted the Bible. So a battle between science and theology erupted. However, EVERY ONE of those scientific ideas has been proven WRONG. The electron microscope showed cells far more complex than the most modern factories, space probes proved General Relativity (that time and space had a beginning), NO missing link fossils were found... science even discovered life came about suddenly in great bursts - just as the Bible says.

We have never created life... nor ever come close. Unfortunately old ideas still abound in textbooks and in people’s minds. Schools still reject teaching of Creation, and new evidence is slow to filter down. Many scientists are specialists and don’t investigate the evidence of Creation. Most of us were taught Evolution was "fact." Did you know that in Darwin’s day, we didn’t even know that germs produced infections? Sterilization wasn’t used by doctors. It killed millions of people. The Bible already had such "medical" rules. Did you know the Bible was the "medical text" finally used to conquer the dreaded Black Plaque? Can you imagine ignoring sterilization today? Darwin’s doctors did. Why are we are so quick to use discoveries (e.g. sterilization), abandoning 100 year old ideas that cause physical death... yet we are so slow to reject absurd ideas that can lead to ETERNAL death?
