Why Believe in Evolution Against All Odds?
Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer
Description: Many examples exist that show that the chances of evolution producing life are so remote that it defies all of logic. Yet people believe in evolution, and they do so in many cases with evangelistic fervor. Why is this the case? If you dump a jigsaw puzzle onto the floor, what are the chances of it coming together completely assembled? Why does your finger grow to a certain optimum length and then just stop, perfectly proportioned to do its job? How did the dolphin’s nose move to the back of his head? Evolution is attractive, though, because it provides a perfect excuse for poor behavior. A lot of people are angry with God, and blame him for the consequences that occur when they disobey His laws and rebel against Him. They really don’t want Him in their life, so evolution is a convenient reason for their rejection of Him.
