I Can see how it might be possible for A man to look down upon the earth
And be an atheist, but I cannot Conceive how he could look up into
The heavens and say there is no God.~ ~ Abraham Lincoln
There is nothing covered that won�t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won�t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Luke 12:2-3 (HCSB)
Micro-evolution: evolutionary change involving the gradual
accumulation of mutations leading to
new varieties within a species.
Macro-evolution: major evolutionary
transition from one type of organism to another occurring at the level of the species and higher
taxa.

Discussion Questions
Truth #4 The Blind Eye and Deaf Ear
Modern science refuses to follow the evidence where it leads and instead treats alternative theories about the universe as fact.
1. Why did Einstein and other scientists want to believe that the world had always been here? What discovery spoiled their hopes? How do you feel about scientists who are driven more by their religious or philosophical worldview than by scientific data?
2. Suppose you were talking to someone who thought Darwin’s theory of evolution explained life on earth. What evidence (or lack of evidence) in modern science would you mention to call evolution into doubt?
3. What are some ways that scientists have responded to evidence for intelligent design in the cell? How might you review or study the evidence further so that you can share it with others?
Take-Away Material
We have seen how fallen man ignores the plain evidence of objective scientific inquiry and promotes the atheistic philosophy of evolution primarily because he is determined to act as he pleases without answering to a higher authority.
Does this hit close to home? Are we, as Christians, sometimes inclined to live our own lives without asking the Lord for His power and direction?
Evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of God…and if Jesus was not the Redeemer who dies for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing.—G. Richard Bozarth
Biologist must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.—Francis Crick
I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science.—Soren Lovtrup
There is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.—Jesus Christ in Luke 12:2-3 (HCSB)
