Origin of Humankind: Take a Stand – Actions
1 – Invest time and research into the evidence (and lack of
evidence) supporting the theory of evolution regarding humankind. In particular recognize the history of hoax
and the role such deception has played in perpetuating the belief in a hominoid
connection between humans and primates.
2 – In a small study group or at church-level develop a position
paper on the Christian worldview of the origin of humankind, including
articulation of the prevailing scientific theory. Make this
statement/position paper available for membership and visitors to read.
3 – Form a committee or study group to investigate what is being
taught in the neighborhood schools. Where appropriate petition the school
board to instruct both the strengths and weaknesses of the evolutionary
theory. Confirm whether reference is being
made to specific “hominoid” discoveries, and if so, have the curriculum
specify the nature of the evidence.
4 – Do not avoid the topic of the “genesis” of humankind in
Christian education. Face the matter in confidence armed with knowledge
of both sides of the argument. 5 – If you believe the “Theory of Evolution” is compatible with the Christian worldview, you: (1) must not understand the scientific theory; (2) must not understand the Christian worldview; or (3) must not understand both. “If chance exists in any size, shape, or form, God cannot exist. The two are mutually exclusive. If chance existed, it would destroy God’s sovereignty. If God is not sovereign, he is not God. If he is not God, he simply is not. If chance is, God is not. If God is, chance is not.[i]
