It is possible to believe in evolution and be Christian

To be Christian and believe in evolution is to ignore what the Holy Spirit recorded in the scriptures, as well as external evidence that can be observed in nature. In being a Christian is to know there is only one and true living God (Jeremiah 10.10 & 1 John 5.20), to believe in the theory of evolution is to deny creation. Some basic assumptions of evolution as pointed out by Dr. Werner Gitt One problem with evolution; it is a belief system based on assumption. F.M. Wuketits, an evolution theorist, writes: "We pre-suppose the essential correctness of biological evolution, yes, we assume that evolution is universally valid." Evolution is a universal principle: Hoimar von Ditfurth states "The principle of development not only holds for life on earth; it extends much further. It is quite clearly the most widely valid principle imaginable, because it encompasses the entire universe"All of reality around us is characterized by a history of self-development. Biological evolution is only part of this universal process" It is taboo for the evolutionist to use words like creator, designer, or demiurge: As so quaintly put by French molecular biologist, Ernest Kahane, "It is absurd and absolutely preposterous to believe that a living cell could come into existence by itself; but, notwithstanding, I do believe it, because I cannot imagine anything else." In order for Kahane notion of disbelief of a creator to hold true all living organisms, are based exclusively on matter and materialistic principles. Therefore, to the evolutionist there can be no soul or spirit. This completely contrary to the bible. God told Moses "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul." (Leviticus 17.11) There is no scientific explanation for the origin of matter and energy: The law of the conservation of energy together with Einstein's equivalence of matter and energy, E = mc2, states that the sum total of all energy and all matter in our universe is constant. It is therefore necessary to assume that all the energy must have existed before the supposed "big bang". Evolution relies on processes that allow increases in organization from the simple to the more complex, from non-life to life, from lower to higher life-forms: Dr. Gitt points out, "The so-called evolutionary factors are mentioned as cause. In the vein of Ernest Kahane's view on a living cell coming into existence, B. Rensch defines the evolution of the cosmos up to man, as follows "Evolution manifests itself as a continuous progression from the origin of the solar system and the earth, through the assemblage of the first elements of life, followed by true forms of life, and increasingly higher developed groups of animals, leading up to man." The following factors are assumed as the driving forces of evolution: Mutation, selection, isolation, and mixing. Chance and necessity, long time periods, ecological changes, and death are additional indispensable factors which are included in the "actual" evolutionary factors. "Mutation and selection are the driving forces of evolution" K. Lorenz Biologist H. Mohr states: "If there were no death, then no life would have existed"There is no other way around this axiom of evolutionary theory." There is no plan in evolution, nor is there any purpose, to admit otherwise is to imply a creator: Clearly illustrated in B. Rensch statement "It is not necessary to assume a mysterious guiding principle for the purposefulness observed in the structure and life of all organisms"neither was a wise Creator necessary for their origin" I believe it is pretty clear that in order for one to believe in evolution, then it is unacceptable to believe in a Creator. To hold belief in the assumptions of evolution, one has to dismiss the thing created in Genesis 1.26: Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." As for not understand God, there are things about God that we will never be able to comprehend, but that should not lead us to not believe in Him and the scriptures. The profit Isaiah wrote: "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. (Isa 40.28) The God who made all things must be infinitely wise. There is proof of boundless skill in the works of his hands, and it is impossible for finite mind fully and adequately to search out all the proofs of his wisdom and skill. Isaiah is saying God is like looking at the ocean, we as man can see only a part, a small part, while the vast ocean, the boundless deep of His wisdom, lies still unexplored and unknown. In order to know spiritual things, one must be spiritual. Paul told the brethren at Corinth "These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned". (1 Cor 2.13-14) I would like to point out that the bible even explains the opposition that Darwin and evolutionist have in believing in God. That he or she will view the bible as foolishness and will never understand it. The mentioning of Darwin having believed in a creator. In an article titled: The Origin Of Species and Darwin's Reference to "the Creator" apologist Bert Thompson, quotes Harvard entomologist and evolutionist, Edward O. Wilson, in saying. "Darwin dismissed the entire controversy as pointless and premature: "It will be some time before we see slime, protoplasm, etc., generating a new animal. But I have long regretted that I truckled to public opinion, and used the Pentateuchal term of creation, by which I really meant 'appeared' by some wholly unknown process. It is mere rubbish, thinking at present of the origin of life; one might as well think of the origin of matter" (1973, p. 594; the quote from Darwin appears in an extremely anti-religious letter he wrote to J.D. Hooker on March 29, 1863; as reproduced in Francis Darwin's Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, 1887, 3:17) Thompson goes on to say, "It is not helpful for creationists, or anyone else, to use Darwin's reference to a Creator. Darwin himself later admitted that he truly regretted using that "Pentateuchal term," when what he really meant was that things had "appeared by some wholly unknown process." Based upon the number of assumptions one has to believe in for evolution to hold true, and I listed only a few. It then takes more faith to believe in evolution verses God the Creator. Religion is defined as: A particular variety of such belief, especially when organized into a system of doctrine and practice. Then evolution would be a religion in and of itself. To try and blend the theory of evolution with God and all of His creation is to misunderstand the teachings of both systems of faith. Just because we can't explain something, or present physical proof that something exist does not dismiss the existence of divine being. That is what it is to have faith and I believe I've shown one has to have faith for both creation and evolution. The writer of Hebrews tells us "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb 11.6)
