This is part of a series: Testing Evolution

• Previous: Testing Evolution – Opposing Evidence

I wrote a simulator to test evolution, so I could see who was right: my parents, or most scientists. My parents turned out to be right. Not only is evolution totally incapable of going from molecules to Man, but the very process that most scientists think causes evolution mostly causes devolution. Given enough time and chance, we will devolve to extinction. Even the research of evolutionists shows very clearly that this is true.

How can this be? Are my parents smarter than the many great scientists who believe in evolution? Am I smarter, or do I have some hidden knowledge that they don’t? No. My parents aren’t stupid, but they’re not geniuses either. And the things they know are far from secret – they’re published in the beginning of the best-selling book of all time.

While most scientists believe what their professors taught them about evolution, my parents believe the Bible. The Bible says that God created the universe and life in 6 days, and then it was finished. The Bible also says that all creation is “in bondage to corruption“. It makes no exception for life.

The Bible says that those who willfully refuse to acknowledge and honor the Living God – their maker – will, while “claiming to be wise”, become fools. It even says that at least in some cases, God supernaturally enhances this human tendency, by sending on such people a “strong delusion” as punishment.

And this is exactly what happens in real life.

What have I learned?

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths“
2. Unlike many Christians in America today, I am not intimidated by atheists on intellectual matters
3. God really has made “foolish the wisdom of the world“, and this can be clearly seen in every place where people think they’re smarter than God
4. The bigger and more important the issue, the worse we humans tend to think
5. Those who believe and teach the truth are often mocked and persecuted by those who won’t
6. Creation science is far easier to do right than evolutionary biology
   It took one teenager a couple of summers to conclusively debunk the core of the best explanation atheists have ever had for how life appeared.
7. The experts are often wrong
8. The experts are often the most brainwashed
9. The experts are often willfully blind to the truth
10. God really does “use that which is foolish in the world to shame the wise“
11. A lot of people have been deceived by a great lie, and it has cost many of them their souls
12. The “foolishness” of God really is wiser than the wisdom of men who deny God
13. God reveals the truth to some people even when most people aren’t even close to finding it
