Evolution is a science that can't agree with God

In Carole Thorell's letter to the Bee, evolution is spoken as a science which gets along with God; which it is not and cannot.

Science is a knowledge of fact that can be tested in a laboratory or observed on record. True science sees everything as running down and not moving upward, exactly as taught in the Bible. The science of mathematics also destroys the theory of evolution as the structure of our eyes with clear lenses that change to focus, which is the ability to close down from brighter light and move into the direction we want them to. The millions of light receptors in the exact right place with every nerve going into the correct part of the brain so we perceive a picture in color and three dimensions is beyond mathematical possibility. Even Darwin has trouble with that one.

But Psalms 139:14 explains how this came to be : "I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well." Instead of this the letter says, "… Science (evolution) even fits well enough with the story creation … but to cling to that timeframe (six 24-hour days of creation) would require me to dismiss all science." Carole, if you would dismiss the false science, you would be in good company. With the likes of God Himself, Moses, who wrote the book of Genesis; and Jesus Christ, who believed it and made reference to it as truth.

I would hazard that your faith in the Bible account of the six days of creation has been destroyed by the churches that have thrown out the very memorial of that event; the seventh day Sabbath. Engraved in stone (Exodus 20:8-11), this Sabbath day is an anchor for our faith in God who created everything perfect, and will re-create it again for those who live with for him.

While true science backs creation, we were not there when it happened, just as the evolutionist was not there when some creature grew eyes. Both are believed by faith but one has a happy ending.
