Did Jesus create evolution?

[Kylie]

Were those "more qualified scientists" atheists perhaps?

What is your obsession with trying to show that anyone who isn't a creationist must be an atheist? There are countless Christians who accept evolution.

Here are a few scientists who work in fields related to biology, evolution, and astrophysics who do not agree with Ken Hamm's creationist position.

• Henri Fontaine, was a French Roman Catholic missionary. He was also a pre-Tertiary geologist/paleontologist, Paleozoic corals specialist, and archaeologist.
• John David Barrow FRS was an English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and mathematician. He served as Gresham Professor of Geometry at Gresham College from 2008 to 2011. He was a member of the United Reformed Church.
• George Vincent Coyne, S.J. was an American Jesuit priest and astronomer who directed the Vatican Observatory and headed its research group at the University of Arizona from 1978 to 2006. From January 2012 until his death, he taught at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York. His career was dedicated to the reconciliation of theology and science, while his stance on scripture was absolute: "One thing the Bible is not," he said in 1994, "is a scientific textbook. Scripture is made up of myth, of poetry, of history. But it is simply not teaching science."
• Robert James "Sam" Berry FRSE FSB was a British geneticist, naturalist and Christian theorist. He was professor of genetics at University College London between 1974 and 2000. Before that he was a lecturer in genetics at The Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in London. He was president from 1983 to 1986 of the Linnean Society, the British Ecological Society and the European Ecological Federation. As a Christian, Berry spoke out in favour of theistic evolution, served as a lay member of the Church of England's General Synod and as president of Christians in Science. He was a member of the Board of Governors of Monkton Combe School from 1979 to 1991. He also served as editor for the book "Christians and Evolution: Christian scholars change their mind" which assembles a wide range of distinguished contributors, all convinced, committed and orthodox Christian believers, each of whom has undertaken a conceptual journey, based on sound science and careful theology, from a creationist position to one in which God's creation and the processes of evolution are properly and credibly integrated.
• Martin Harold Phillips Bott FRS was a British geologist and Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Durham, England and was a Vice-President of Christians in Science.
• Arthur Robert Peacocke MBE was an English Anglican theologian and biochemist perhaps best known for his attempts to argue rigorously that evolution and Christianity need not be at odds.

Now, I suppose, you will find an excuse to ignore them all.

It's totally possible to know God and not be a Christian.
Most Christians I run across know about God, but they do not know Him.

The beauty of Christianity is that we have a real life example of God in Christ. Other beliefs have a God in some far away place and inaccessible to us. So if you want to know God just look at Christ.

Actually it seems the theistic scientists gave a good excuse to atheistic scientists to disregard the need for a God altogether when the theory of an old earth from professing Christians gave rise to the theory of evolution. This article goes into detail Here. I was looking at another in-depth article but I lost the page and couldn't find it again. (Wonders of using the internet on a phone). The thing about science is it's often theory based on observations. No one can go back in time to check and correct data and that's where historical "evidence" comes in, but it's still only theory. Here's an article about a possible "water-world" a theory based on observational evidence. Here

The bible is not supposed to be read as anything but an account of Gods relationship with man and man's rebellion against God. There has been however, historical "evidence" to show many of the places existed that are depicted in the bible. Going back to the account of Adam and Eve, Eve was tempted by satan to eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil and have the knowledge that would make her "like God". It's obvious from scripture that both Adam and Eve took no responsibility for their actions.They instead blame-shifted, (Adam blamed God and Eve blamed satan) and did not seek forgiveness and immediately fell into sin.
This behaviour pattern can be seen clearly repeating itself throughout the bible. This is why God had to reconcile humanity to himself through Jesus Christ, because humans were never going to be able to do it for themselves.

No matter whether you're a believer or non-believer in God, there can be no dispute that there is currently not enough sufficient evidence to claim one side or the other is "factually" correct through observational or historical scientific method. The difference with believers is they (often) have revelation and that is what the belief is grounded in and not the secular world's viewpoint.

Like I've said before, my only responsibility is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and it's a choice someone makes whether they accept it as truth or not. But making the mistake of trying to gain knowledge to determine God's existence through human means is possibly the reason no such evidence will ever be found for a fact, and God made it as such just like he says in the scriptures.
