The Problem
Christianity has set itself between two untenable positions regarding the origin of things. On the one hand much mainstream Christianity postulates that God created everything via evolution. This indefensible position begs the question and merely attempts to make everyone (creationists and evolutionists alike) happy. There is virtually no scriptural or scientific backing for this position. On the other hand is the concept of a “young universe”, that postulates that everything began 4,000 to 6,000 years ago and that the age of fossil records and carbon dating are all erroneous. This position ends up with the T-Rex in the garden with Adam (maybe even on the arc) and must ultimately close a blind eye to scientific evidence. The result is that neither of the prominent positions gives Christianity a leg to stand on when it comes to creation’s beginnings. The ultimate reason for both of these theories failing is that the Word of God is given second billing to theology and the traditional teachings of the church.
