For many, a belief in evolution comes from the desire to remove the need for God as Creator. Some would say evolution comes from what the evidence says to us. But evidence never speaks for itself, it’s always interpreted using your assumptions and starting points. And only when you examine the evidence through the lens of the Bible does it makes sense.

Evolution is rooted in the belief system of naturalism that doesn’t allow for anything outside the laws of nature to explain how our world operates. Ironically, naturalism requires the violation of several known laws of the universe:

• The law of biogenesis (life only comes from life)

• The uniformity of nature (uniformity cannot exist or be expected without a Creator)

• The laws of physics (the big bang requires the suspension of the laws of physics, and those laws could not exist without a Creator)

• The laws of probability (the fine-tuning of the universe requires a Creator)

• The laws of logic (logic requires a logical source)

• The laws of chemistry (the consistent properties of the elements require intelligence)

• The laws of information (information can only come from an intelligence)

To accept that all these things truly operate in the world without God as their Creator and organizer requires an immense amount of faith. While it is often used as a criticism of Christians, those who have an evolutionary worldview must accept all these things by blind faith since there is no naturalistic explanation for the existence of these laws. While Christians also accept certain truths by faith, it is faith in the Creator and lawgiver who provides a basis for those truths, not a blind faith in chance processes.
