The Religion of Evolution: Devolved Part 1
Evolution is not a strict scientific theory, it's a religion with no evidence
Many atheists claim that evolution is a proven scientific fact. If you disagree, they usually laugh, and go on to say things like:
“You’re one of those Bible thumpers aren’t you? You believe Noah and the arc too, right?”
Heck, I might even get these comments on this post ;)
But what if I told you that evolution wasn’t a proven scientific fact?
What if I told you that evolution wasn’t even a good theory?
What if I told you that evolution was such a bad theory, that if an 8th grader presented it for his final project, he would get expelled from school for how irrational it was.
Well, that’s all true, and I’m going to show you why in the next few posts. Today, I’m going to cover how evolution is a religion, not a scientific theory.

1. What evolution are we talking about?
First, the evolution I’m talking about is called macro-evolution. This is the view that one species of animal transforms completely into another. Imagine a dinosaur turning into a bird over millions of years in order to survive. That’s what I’m talking about.
We are not talking about micro-evolution. Micro-evolution is when there’s a change of form or function within a species. Imagine a species of bird gets a sharper beak based on having kids with sharp beaks, that would be micro-evolution.
Micro-evolution is just what happens when some species of animals have more kids. But what about macro-evolution?
2. From fish to philosopher
When we talk evolution, most people think of Charles Darwin. But evolution did not come from Darwin, it was already present in ancient Greek philosophy. Anaximander, one of the earliest ionian philosophers was an evolutionist.
“For Anaximander (611 - 546 B. C. E) believed the world had arisen from an undifferentiated, indeterminate substance, the apeiron. The Earth, which had coalesced out of the apeiron, had been covered in water at one stage, with plants and animals arising from mud. Humans were not present at the earliest stages; they arose from fish…”1
Evolution was, and always has been, a philosophy, not a scientific theory. Nobody observed something in nature scientifically and said “That’s it, its gotta be evolution!”
The truth is, every human from birth understands, without question, that God created the universe. We are without excuse:
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
With Darwin’s work coming to a finish, later scientists had to work day and night to give the theory a cosmetic of respectability. If they could just make it look legit, they could go to bed at night telling themselves that God didn’t exist.
3. Evidence?
Do you remember science class when you were in high school? Do you remember some of the things that make a scientific theory a strong one?
Well, firstly, you would need evidence, right? If I went to my teacher and said “I think germs don’t exist, its all just a lie”, would he take my word for it? Of course not, he would ask me for evidence.
To the embarrassment of the evolutionists, there is no evidence for macro-evolution.
It’s simple, we’ve never observed a species turn into another species.
Take the fossil record for example2. Do we find evidence of gradual development of species?
No, on the contrary we find:
Sudden appearance of a fully complex life-form (no simpler versions prior)
Stasis - that species stays the same form and doesn’t evolve or change.
In fact, there’s no evidence for the other parts of evolution either (we’ll get to that in the next posts). But that’s no fun is it? I thought we had something? I thought we had a way out of that whole “I have to obey God because he made me” thing.
So what are the evolutionists to do if science can’t help them? Politics.
One great example of evolution politics in high definition is the British natural history museum. In 1981, the museum created an exhibit around Darwin’s evolutionary theory.
The label included in the text that it was "One possible explanation" for the origin of life, as well as "not strictly scientific because it has not been empirically demonstrated"
Because of those 2 expressions, enough political pressure was produced that the museum had to remove any acknowledgement of the problems with Darwin’s theory.
4. Blind worship
But why? Why do people still push evolution? Why are scientists gripping onto the theory for dear life, clawing and scratching for it to be true when there is simply no observable, empirical evidence for it? Are we missing something?
Because people hate God. If evolution were true, we would have an explanation for the wonder and design of life coming from random, natural processes. Which means? We can do whatever we want, we’re just the ancestors of Broccoli. Who cares right?
As we’ll see in the next posts, the theory of evolution is simply an unsupported religion for people who need a non-God explanation for life. This is nothing new, in fact, Paul was dealing with this in the first century.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

If you're claiming there's "no evidence for macro-evolution" because nobody has watched the whole process of a species transforming into another, you'd also have to assert that there's "no evidence for fossilization" because nobody has sat and watched the whole hundreds or thousands of years process for a fossil to form.
