THE REAL ISSUES BEHIND THE EVOLUTION/CREATION CONTROVERSY

by Dr. Carl Koval
Professor of Chemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder

The ongoing debate over whether life on earth is the result of unguided natural processes (evolution) or the result of design by a supernatural being (creation) causes many Christians to avoid science or careers in science-oriented disciplines. By exploring six basic issues that underlie this controversy, Dr. Koval (a Christian chemistry professor) will attempt to explain why the Evolution/Creation controversy has remained unresolved for more than 100 years, and to provide a framework that will allow individuals to freely explore scientific issues without compromising their religious beliefs.

About the Speaker

Dr. Koval has been a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Colorado since 1980. He earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology.

At the University of Illinois, the intricacy of cellular motors is reported.

Scientists say that “The motors cooperate in a delicate choreography of steps.” Using high-speed imaging techniques, they determined that “multiple motors can work in concert, producing more than 10 times the speed of individual motors measured outside the cell.” The machines move by “walking” on rails called microtubules in steps 8 billionths of a meter at a time. The team is measuring the force produced by the motion to “further understand these marvelous little machines.”

No mention of Darwinism in this report.

Richard Cohen appears in the Washington Post. While we believe he is wrong in his approach and "facts", he does legitimately point to some of the wishywashiness of those who allow for a higher power. Some remarks from people who believe in an intelligent designer do not help to push the cause forward. It is important for us to not mimic sloppy thinking and arrogance. Rather, we should be confident, courageous, winsome, and attractive ambassadors of our cause. Attack the ideas, not the people.

A Georgia court recently ordered the Cobb County public schools to remove an anti-evolution sticker from textbooks, renewing the nearly century-old battle between science and religion. How far can school systems go to require the teaching of creationism and the theory of "Intelligent Design" without violating the Constitution's mandate to separate church and state?
