Why does the Revival Fellowship deny a literal interpretation of a worldwide Flood? (Is it contrary to modern geology?) Similarly, why does the Revival Fellowship deny a literal interpretation of the six “days” in the Creation week? (Contrary to modern astronomy?) If the pattern is in place for liberal interpretation when science calls for it – why then interpret creation literally? Why is evolution treated differently from other scientific advances that are contrary to the Bible?
Why are Christian scientists trusted by the Revival Fellowship with the ‘complex’ stuff (creationism) if they’ve got the ‘simple’ stuff wrong (salvation message)? I.e. none of the Christian scientists featured in Creation vs Evolution slide nights preach the RF’s tongues doctrine.
Why do the pastors endorse scientific findings that disprove salt-damp-apparitions of Mary, or debunk the Shroud of Turin, or document the increasing frequency of earthquakes – yet deny the science (an entire branch!) that support evolution?
How does one explain the existence of transitional fossils in the fossil record when the Bible repeatedly and unequivocally states species are to reproduce “after their own kind”? (Genesis 1:20-25)
Why would God create so many transitional species in the exact order they would have evolved?
Why does the Bible describe light being created before the Sun? (Genesis 1:3 & Genesis 1:16) Why doesn’t this square up with modern astronomy (or common sense)? In any case, how was a “day” measured without a star to orbit?
Why does the Bible describe plants being created before the sun – when science says the opposite? How did the plants photosynthesize? (Genesis 1:11 & Genesis 1:16)
Why does Genesis describe birds being created before land animals – when the fossil record says the opposite? (Genesis 1:21 & Genesis 1:24)
Did God create a false fossil record to challenge our faith? Are we being tested more than we can bear? (1 Corinthians 10:13)
If God’s ways are higher than scientists’ – why are they quoted at Evolution vs Creation slide nights at all – regardless of their position?
Why is there no evidence of any creation ‘from nothing’ (Latin ex nihilo) in any branch of science? Why are there vast quantities of evidence of evolution in every branch of modern science?
By what process do we breed varieties of dog or horse today? If artificial section is a ‘plausible version of evolution’ in this context, why isn’t natural selection also plausible?
How do genes ‘know’ whether their ancestors were artificially or naturally selected? E.g. why can a species of plant or animal be manipulated by men but not by nature?
Wouldn’t this process provide a natural benefit to their offspring thereby creating a natural mechanism for the same sort of processes to occur?
Why does the biological or natural explanation make so much more sense than the supernatural?
If evolution was a world-wide conspiracy to discredit a creator-God, wouldn’t evolution be an anomaly in the scientific world? Instead, nothing in biology make sense except in the light of evolution (PDF) Why?
Why do comparative sequence analyses indicate so much shared DNA? Why would God create species to appear in ‘cousinship’?
Why would an ex nihilo Creator design ‘defunct’ pseudogenes in non-evolving species? Or such useless “junk DNA” within the human genome?
How did Adam name millions and millions of species? (Genesis 2:18-22) If there were fewer species ‘back then’, by which process did the newer ones appear? Again, why isn’t this reflected in the fossil record?
If God did take 13 billion years to create the universe (not 6 literal days) why wouldn’t He also create living creatures during the same length of time?
Or, if God took did take his time to create the universe but only the ‘in-His-own-image’ creation was formed from dust: why did it take so much more time to create the ’simple stuff’ (which is presumable less complex and less valuable) than the most valuable and highly complex organisms such as humans?
Why would God create a species from scratch with an organ like the appendix? Why would God sign-off his masterpiece with an Appendicitis-causing, near-pointless organ?
Why would God design our bodies to lack the ability to synthesize our own vitamin C? Why does our genetic code contain all the information required except one crucial gene which has mutated and “switched off”? Why would a loving God create most of the sequence for synthesizing vitamin C, but not all of it?
Why did God design the eye backwards, upside-down and with a blind spot? Or susceptible to angle-closure glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinal detachment?
Why do human fetuses grow a very thin coat of hair or fur before birth, and then shed it in their 8th month? Why would God add a completely meaningless step in human embryonic development?
Why would God design a koala’s pouch upside-down?
Why do embryonic dolphins have legs?
Why do whales have hind limbs and pelvic girdles?
Why do flightless birds have wings?
Why do ungulates have toes that do not reach the ground?
Why do dolphins have lungs – not gills?
Why do we have a coccyx bone?
Why do some snakes have non-functional hind limbs?
Why would an all-powerful creator decide to plant his carefully crafted species on islands and continents in exactly the appropriate pattern to suggest that they had evolved and dispersed from their site of evolution? And why do they nearly always resemble those on the nearest continent or large island?
For example, why would God put lemurs in Madagascar and nowhere else?
Why put platyrrhine monkeys in South America only, and catarrhine monkeeys in Africa and Asia only?
Why no mammals in New Zealand, except bats who would fly there? Why does the flightless Kiwi still have useless wings?
Why would the creator put only marsupials mammals here in Australia, except bats who could fly here and those who could arrive in man-made canoes?
Why would God create ichneumon wasps, that paralyze their victim, then lay eggs inside with the promise of larva gnawing it alive from within? Surely God wouldn’t have thought this creation was ‘good’? (Genesis 1)
Assuming God used evolution as His mode of creation: why would He allow mankind to evolve for millions of years of soulless, brutal existence only to “add in” a soul later, and then show up a few thousand years later to change the whole plan with Jesus?
