creationism

In this final week on this series of Christian Debates: Evolution and Intelligent Design, I'd like to add a couple of considerations to keep in mind as we discuss this issue.

Today we continue our series on how we, as Christians, can discuss and debate possibly devisive issues. We're looking specifically at the issue of Christian evolution v. creationism (or Intelligent Design). I've asked my friend, Marcus Goodyear, to guest post today on the view of Christian evolution.

After watching 2001 as a boy, I worried I’d committed some sort of felony. I asked my dad about the gorilla-men. “My Sunday school teacher told us God made the world in six days.”

“That’s true, son,” my dad said. “It’s just a movie.”

This large group of people whom we call Christians are defined by things like justification by faith, the Apostles' and the Nicene Creeds, and our hope of resurrection. Within that, we have many distinctives and many beliefs.
