The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 1

Taken Under the “Wing” of the Small Magellanic Cloud. http://hubblesite.org/. News Release Number: STScI-2013-17. April 4, 2013 09:00 AM (EDT). Accessed 2/3/2014.

There are two main points of tension between the scientific account of natural history and the creation account in Genesis 1. In my last two posts I discussed the tension around the timing of creation events. In the next three posts I’m going to discuss the scientific view of the mechanism of creation. Then in several following posts I will talk about questions and tensions that Christians may have concerning the scientific view.

The theory of evolution is the dominant scientific explanation for the history of life on earth. Evolution is a loaded word that can mean different things to different people. There are four basic meanings relevant to our discussion:

  1. change over time
  2. common descent
  3. a mechanism-natural selection
  4. a justification for atheism.
