Creationism - National Center for Science Education

No, we must have a supernatural God. We must have a Bible divinely inspired. We must have this earth
coming into being at the hands of God. We must have a man made in the image of God, then fallen, then
needing to come for mercy and forgiveness, and to be born again. [1963:10-11]
In Man—Ape or Image (1984), John Rendle-Short concurs that the Bible “flatly
contradicts” the theory of evolution. “Therefore, if evolution is true, the Genesis
narrative must be largely myth or poetry, with a spiritual, non-historic basis”—a
conclusion he flatly rejects. “If evolution is true, there was no historical Fall. If man did
not Fall, there is no need for a Saviour.”
In Evolution: When Fact Becomes Fiction (1986:173), a book endorsed and
distributed by the Creation-Science Legal Defense Fund, Ricki Pavlu says:
If a person rejects the Old Testament account of creation and classifies Genesis 1 and 2 as mere fables, then
he must also reject the New Testament, for the New Testament accepts as valid the creation, Adam and
Eve, and the curse. If any portion of God’s Word is in error, then we must reject the whole, including the
message of salvation.
Robert Whitelaw, the Virginia Tech engineering professor, says that the
acceptance of evolution results in the relegation of the biblical record “to the dust-bin of
folk lore.”
For instance, if [evolution] is true, then there is no origin, no purpose, no destiny. There is no truth or error.
There is no right or wrong. There is no way to tell the real from the imaginary. There is no good, no evil,
no hope. The end now justifies the means. Might becomes right and tyranny, brutality, greed, all become
acceptable, IF total evolution is the answer... [1981:1]
In Genesis Versus Evolution (1961:58-9), Dudley Whitney argues that if natural
law cannot explain earth history (and it cannot), then special creation must be true; if the
Flood really occurred (and science shows that it did), then special creation must be true;
if the geological ages are illusory (and they are), then special creation must be true; if
human history started recently (and evidence shows that it did), then special creation
must be true.
David C.C. Watson says that the “monstrous error” of evolution is the biggest
delusion, the “greatest brain robbery,” ever perpetrated (The Great Brain Robbery 1976).
There is no possible harmonization between evolution and Genesis; they flatly contradict
each other. Darwinism contradicts nearly everything in the creation account of Genesis:
instant creation, the fixity of species, the special creation of man and woman, the Fall, the
curse, the universal Flood, the miraculous confusion of tongues, and the young age of the
earth.
In Evolution Vs Science and the Bible (1974), a series of pamphlets designed as a
study course for church schools (but also deliberately designed to double as tracts for
wide distribution), Bob West denounces evolution because it contradicts the Bible. “The
Bible record is the only record that harmonizes with scientific fact,” proclaims West, a
Gap Theorist.
If evolution is true, it is necessary for the following to also be true. (1) There is no God. (2) The Bible
account of creation is a myth or fantasy. (3) The scriptures are not from God. (4) Jesus is not our saviour.
(5) Man is only an animal. (6) There is no such thing as sin, or morality. [tract #1]
