I'm learning evolution right now in biology, and I'm just wondering what a Christian's perspective should be on these issues...such as natural selection, the age of the Earth, macroevolution/microevolution, etc..are there things I learn that I shouldn't believe?
Hi friend. I understand what you're going through as I studied science during high school and university. I've written several previous posts on this matter, so please read the following:
3. In #2-3, I have a link to this useful article by Mark Driscoll. It answers most - if not all - your questions from a Christian perspective. At the end of the article, there are dozens of links that you'll find helpful. Among these resources are Internet resources:
www.answersingenesis.org/
www.icr.org/
www.christiananswers.net/creation/
www.discovery.org/csc/
www.iscid.org/
www.ideacenter.org/
www.origins.org/
www.reasons.org/index.shtml
www.icr.org/
www.christiananswers.net/creation/
www.discovery.org/csc/
www.iscid.org/
www.ideacenter.org/
www.origins.org/
www.reasons.org/index.shtml
I'm sure you have many more questions, but start with some of these resources. Take your time and digest them slowly. Above all, remember to continually rely on Jesus - who is the light of the world (John 8:12). Your friends/teachers/textbooks may poke fun of Christianity and how science has destroyed it, but this is a false dichotomy. You can be a follower of Christ AND a student of science. Don't let others tell you otherwise.
