Nothing about evolution belongs in the category of science. \nIt&#8217;s a religion just like Creationism. However, Evolutionism is a dangerous religion. \nYou see, ideas lead to worldviews. \nWorldviews result in actions. Consider the different actions an atheist might take in various situations in life as \nopposed to the actions a Christian might take in the same situations. Their religions determine their actions. \n<br>\n<br>\n<b>What to Watch For<\/b>\n<br>\n<br>\nAs we begin the series, watch for the evidences of a young earth and universe and for the answers to the questions in \nlife that logically follow from the Evolutionary standpoint as opposed to the Creationist standpoint. \nIn this world, two major worldviews exist: Evolutionism and Creationism. Both views are religious, and both seek to answer life&#8217;s questions. \nScientific evidence supports a young, created universe the opposite of the Evolutionary model. Evolutionism calls for an old, accidental universe. \nThese contrasting worldviews have entirely opposite consequences. \nNotice throughout this lesson how the consequences of Evolutionism clash with the ramifications of the worldview of Creationism. \nSatan has tried to deceive man from the beginning, attempting to tell man that he can become as a god. This lie has not changed. \nObserve how Satan&#8217;s lie has worked its way into science in the form of Evolutionism and notice the lack of evidence for this worldview. \nTrue science, in fact, contradicts Evolutionism, as we are about to see. \nGod&#8217;s truth is manifest in every facet of His creation. \n<br>\n<br>\n<b>Discussion Questions<\/b>\n<br>\n<br>\n1.&nbsp;&nbsp;What are the four basic questions of man? Are they still relevant in our society today? If so, why? \n<br>\n<br>\nWho am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going when I die? The way we answer these questions is related to our worldviews, which have ramifications in any culture or society.\n<br>\n<br>\n2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you believe that your view of the age of the earth affects your everyday life? If so, how?\n<br>\nIf someone holds the Evolutionistic worldview, he must live his life according to his own will. \nIf someone holds the worldview of Creationism, God is the final authority, and he must conform to God&#8217;s will.\n<br>\n<br>\n3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you believe evolution is scientific or religious? Why?\n<br>\nEvolutionism contradicts fundamental science and is supported only by faith &#8211; not by evidence.\n<br>\n<br>\n<b>Application<\/b>\n<br>\n<br>\nWe should strive to affect the worldviews of those around us. \nAccording to Matthew 5:13, we are to be the salt of the earth. \nMany are ignorant of the lack of scientific evidence for the Big Bang, and even fewer realize how their \nworldview affects their answers to life&#8217;s questions. We should spread the truth of God&#8217;s creation. \nThe debate between Evolutionism and Creationism is important because it governs every major decision and action we execute in life. \nWhere is the basis for a moral authority if we are mere accidents of chance whose sole purpose is to please ourselves? \nHow is society to function without a lawgiver? If we really came from a cosmic burp 20 billion years ago, \nwe have no purpose and no authority besides ourselves. If we are truly made in the image of God, \nHe is our authority, and He has laid out some rules for us to follow. Are we ready to face His judgment?\n<br>\n<br>\n<b>Challenge<\/b>\n<br>\n<br>\nAsk an elementary school-age child if he knows where everything in the world came from. \nIf his answer involves the Big Bang, ask him where the original matter came from. \nIf he doesn&#8217;t know where this original matter came from, consider sharing the Biblical account with him to explain how everything came into being.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They are both religious Something to Think About Is evolution science or religion?
