Science and the Bible (1 of 2)
In today's culture, we are challenged by two worldviews. The evolution worldview says that we are products of chance and are not a part of God's divine plan.

The Bible says that we must trust Christ by faith, walk by faith and live every part of our life by faith in our God and His purpose for our lives. Does faith mean that we have to be blind to the evidence or should the evidence all around us build our faith? I heard one Christian defend her faith to an atheist by saying, "are you going to believe the evidence, or are you going to believe God?"

This universe is a testimony to our God. What I plan to do is show that both evolution and creation require faith, but the evidence points toward creation and those who hold to evolution or a godless worldview are the ones who live by blind faith.
