Some christians think they can just shelve to question of evolution because they think," preaching the gospel is more important." They fail to realise that the creation account is a vital part of the gospel. It tells us of a holy, righteous and good God who made all things. It tells us of Adam and Eve created perfect but who rebelled against God, passing sin onto the rest of us. It tells of God's promise to send a Saviour from Eve's seed who would crush the serpents head and redeem His people. Without the creation account telling us of our indebtedness to God as our creator and our need for the salvation He promises, we cannot understand the gospel as it later unfolds. We cannot ditch the creation account in favour of evolution. Without the creation account nothing else makes sense in the gospel. Your choice is simple, either be a Bible believing Christian (for there is no other sort) or ditch it in favour of evolution and be an atheist.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
