The Faith in Evolution You Can't See

In the December issue of Earth magazine Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History has an article entitled What Drives Evolution. If you read carefully you will soon realize he admits that evolution has no working mechanism that evolutionists agree on. In fact, the geneticists and the paleontologists disagree completely. Geneticists now recognize that evolution can't work by slow gradual changes as Darwin proposed. Yet the paleontologists continue to look for missing links that don't exist. Therefore he concludes, evolution must happen in quick spurts followed by long periods of little change. He and Steven J. Gould from Harvard University call this jerky evolution punctuated equilibrium. My personal conclusion is all the evolutionists have great faith because they can't see it, can't describe it, can't find it but they know it must be there. In fact you will find many of them saying, "Evolution is a fact." Toward the end of the article he states his FAITH in evolution: "I believe that this idea (punctuated equilibrium) will ultimately enable geneticists and paleontologists to agree on the form and content of that single evolutionary theory - a theory that must exist simply because life, in all its complexities and scales, from molecules to ecosystems, has had one single, integrated evolutionary history." Eldredge has let his theology dictate his science. Since, he concludes, there cannot be a God that created, evolution MUST be TRUE. He proves evolution requires more faith to believe than creation. Creation and the Bible are rooted in real, documented past events, not some unproven idea about the past. Creationists are often called to account when letting their theology dictate their science but Eldredge must consider himself exempt because his theology is Atheistic. Thank God, less than half the US population believes in evolution.
